Are you seriously comparing witcher 1 to 3? lol. Obviously i meant the difference between the first footage and the actual footage. the witcher 3 looks like dragonage inquisition now instead of the mindblowing "witcher 3" that was showcased 2 years ago.

I don't know what the big fuss is over downgrades.

 

Yes, it has been "downgraded" if you compared the current build with the trailers from previous years. Here's a album that shows the changes : http://imgur.com/a/8I1He

But if it still looked like the Witcher 3 of a couple years back then the chances are only people with Titan X SLI would be able to run it.

We saw how Unity was given such a bad name for being too demanding even though it did look amazing.

Most of the people screaming downgrade are people that can barely run Witcher 3 in its current state at 1080p and get 30FPS, let alone the Witcher 3 of a couple years ago.

 

Also, I don't see a problem with Witcher 3 looking like Dragon Age Inquisition. Both are open world games built for new gen and one has a much bigger budget and a much bigger team working on it, yet they both look pretty good.

 

I'm more interested in the story, quests, characters and adventures.

Precisely. This is what the minimum and recommended is for Witcher 3. Pretty reasonable and something most people can manage. Plus you can snag a copy of the game (and Batman: Arkham Knight) if you pick up a new GeForce GTX 970 or 980, or with a GTX 960 (just no Batman).

 

And really, comparing Witcher 3 to DA:I in terms of graphics is quite favorable, imo. DA:I can look truly awesome, with many moments and areas that are simply impressive. But, it is not a true open-world, which Witcher 3 is. There are no loading screens in Witcher 3 outside of fast travel (does include heading to the archipelago by boat), death, and loading into the game the first time. Getting that level of detail in a game without having a loading screen every 20 seconds is impressive.

 

Graphics are for people to squawk about when there's no substance to the game. Who cares how pretty the game looks if there's nothing to hold my attention other than, "but look at the individual blades of grass that each react to my moving through them!"

 

Give me substance over graphics any day. I want to play a game that I'll remember for a long time, not some glorified tech demo that's no different from XYZ FPS on the shelf next to it outside of the graphics.

If people want to compare the actual differences, then put the right images in there instead of different time of day, weather conditions, locations, or even the same game lol. There is plenty of 2013 footage that looks cgi like, and then you have the final build that does look nothing alike.

And yes, i am aware that graphics aren't everything etc., it is just that when you show a game and claim it looks like that, but then it turns out it is not even half of what you showed, people can be critical for that. I understand the game has no loading screens and whatnot, but the terrible pop-in of shaders, AO, characters, and vegetation is a thing that breaks immersion quite a bit, i rather have a loading screen or 2 to prevent this.

It may not be really apparent when you look at it, but the details are definitely missing in the newer builds compared to the 2013 video. Take he part with the griffon, even though it has a different tod, the textures, vegetation, and and particles all look superior. The boat doesn't leave a trail anymore, as it did in the 2013 build. These are just two of the many downgrades, and if you all count them up, it is quite a lot. Hence "big downgrade".

So don't buy it if all you're going to be focusing on are how it is so downgraded.

 

There is still a wake behind the boat in the 2015 footage; it just isn't as white due to speed.

 

Oh, and tell me the particles in Igni look better in the March part compared to May: http://www.gfycat.com/UncommonScaredIberiannase
