The official Witcher 3 thread

[BeoTeK]

Something I've just read:

Irritatingly, CD Projekt has yet to send out PC review code. Any review you've read or seen has been based on the PS4 version of the game. Since I’ll be doing the review, I’ve yet to actually read any of them, though it’s currently floating at a Metacritic of 92. That means that according to Science, it’s not as good an open world game as Grand Theft Auto V, but is at least a better movie than Sex Tape. Not being a fan of the former or having seen the latter, I cannot comment. Still, a promising start.

I had no idea of this. Could this also mean that any videos that have posted (pertaining to reviews and what what) are also from PS4. Hence the footage we been seeing is PS4 fidelity and as a result judging accordingly?

That was true for last week when the reviews came out, but people have had their hands on the Xbone and PC versions for a few days now.

Kinda off topic, but if anyone is interested, I've got a Witcher 3 PC code for sale. Hit me up on the PM

Even he's unsure.

What's more is that the Nvidia game ready drivers only came out today, so it's unlikely that anyone showing screens or comparisons have had access to the optimal version of the game yet. I'm relatively confident that the PC version is going to look even better than we expect.

CDPR have given people the final build yesterday. One guy was streaming it and a German site did comparisons which I linked earlier in the thread. There's a difference, but we won't be getting anything better than that. The drivers might increase performance, but it won't change how the game looks (downgrade and all that jazz).

The build including the day 1 patch?

Yup.

Look here for the comparison.

Info in German. To sum it up, things look a bit better now, especially shadows and features like AO and water tessellation are working too. There's a bit of a performance hit though, although that could be fixed with new drivers from AMD/Nvidia. More settings have also appeared in the options menu relating to draw distance, NPC count and frame limits.
