Witcher 3: Blood and Wine is "a graphics upgrade from the base game"

Eurogamer:

"A year ago I sat in a room with a downcast Adam Badowski, studio head of CD Projekt Red, and we talked about The Witcher 3 'graphics downgrade'. He wanted his game to visually knock people's socks off but instead it faced criticism."

holy crap...
''For example: before, each and every prop had its own texture; this might require another draw-call or so. It impacts performance. But this time around we know we're going to group these things together so you have them representing same texture now, so we're loading less but maximising the quality at the same time''

Gz Cd projekt for discovering how to make texture atlas xd... like most of the commercial engines do it for you

Very strange read, or am I just reading it wrong?

First of all he says almost 90% if all the assets are new & each item is at a far higher detail. Then later on he states that assets are no longer single items & textures but groups of items that are all textured as one item & just copied & pasted. That sounds like it'll get repetitive & an odd design decision.

arkard2997d ago

He's saying if there was a stack of plates before that each plate was a seperate item and a seperate texture. Now if there is a stack of plates the game sees it as a single item and loads it as a single texture. This puts less stress on the game engine and allows for more items

For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.

They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.

Good luck in your future endeavors

Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.

not cinematic or 3rd person enough for Sony

I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.

OtterX2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
