Impressive visuals in ‘The Witcher 3′ shows the graphical evolution of the Witcher series

From the article: "The Witcher 3 is one of those games that we can’t wait for. Expected to be 30 times larger than any previous Witcher title, the game sports an open world that is bigger than any modern RPG including Skyrim. The Witcher 3 is also making its debut on the PlayStation platform previously only being available on Windows PC and Xbox 360. The game is a welcome addition to PS4 fans that previously missed out on the Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings that was exclusive to the Microsoft console."

And because CD Projekt are talented, not only does the graphics improve from one episode to the next, but the overall quality of the games as well. Some studios should take notes.

snipermk03966d ago

True. That's the pedigree of a PC developer. I just hope they don't go the way of Crytek.

Roccetarius3965d ago

Yeah, that's what i'm afraid of as well, but i'm fairly sure they won't. Crytek made a big mistake by going console.

Lon3wolf3965d ago

The difference between CD and Crytek is that CD know how to make an engine and great game, Crytek are fantastic at making engines but not the actual games.

Haven't played any Crysis game, but wasn't the major outcry about Crysis 2 that they didn't improve the graphics over Crysis 1, while the campaign itself was good enough?

Yes, i heard the same complaints..

Gamers are fickle, there have been complaints about The Witcher 3 not being 1080p 60fps on consoles for the last day and a half on N4G. Now there are impressive visuals anyway.

They're not on ND level. They wish they could get this game to look like uc4.

Ps4 is the future, the future is ps4.

This will be my first time playing The Witcher (when I get it on PS4). I've been following the development of this game for a little while now. Very excited! I only hear great things from people who've played the other two in the series.

PaulFiend3965d ago

I never liked Witcher 1 and 2, but this 35 min. video of 3rd part blew me away, can't wait to play it on my PS4!

aliengmr3964d ago

You didn't like the first 2 at all? And you are expecting 'what' to change?

Don't get me wrong, its completely fine that you don't like the Witcher series thus far, but I really doubt you are going to like the third.

Aside from it being open world, not much has changed. It looks better, and there are tweaks here and there, but its all essentially the same.

My advice would be to wait and hear what the consensus is among those who didn't like the first two.

PaulFiend3963d ago

I just like what I see in this 35 min. video: Witcher himself looks much better imo, I like dialogs, characters, combat looks better (I guess there are new moves or animations, it just looks improved), open world is a nice addition too.
Overall, I have that nice and warm feeling that CD Project RED is making a game that I really want to play, that just suits me well.

I'm not saying 1st & 2nd were bad, don't get me wrong. I just like how the series evolved to my liking.
(Sorry for my bad English) :(

The Witcher 3 is my most anticipated title right now, but this article kind of sucked. They barely compared 1 image from each game. Plus the author described the combat as being similar to Skyrim.

PersonMan3964d ago

Never understood what's so great about it's visuals. In my opinion, there are much better looking games. It still looks like it's using "last-gen" technology. It just reminds me of a last-gen PC game.

Sign me up. I haven’t played it since it released on PS4 so I could go for another run with a new DLC.
