Witcher 3 E3 Xbox One Demo Analysis: "Experience Closer To PC, DX11 API in Xbox One Development"

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt demo that was showcased at E3 2014 was running on Xbox One. Our friend at Eurogamer did a tech analysis and discover some startling improvements. As per the details shared it the report, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on Xbox One will offer experience closer to that of PC

user74029314343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

so if its closer to pc' do they mean they didnt hit 1080p? which im sure pc will no doubt be atleast 1080p

edit 2. pc is doing 4k. 1080p should be pc standard

JBSleek4343d ago

It would depend on the PC if it hits 1080p. That's kinda how PC works.

vishmarx4343d ago

just because 1% pc's 'can do' 4k doesnt mean PC is 'doing' 4k.
anyways,how is it close to pc?
30 vs 60 fps
1080p vs 900p
and obvious screen tearing
and the fps falls quite alot

NukaCola4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

PC version going to run at 22 to 24 frames?

Game looks great but Xbone hardware looks like it's struggling to handle this game.

"Experience Closer To PC, DX11 API in Xbox One Development"

They're saying It will have DX11 features enabled, similar to the PC version.

Still PC version is the way to go, if you got a strong rig you can enjoy some of witcher 3's new boasted Ultra settings. that i'd like to see.

Qrphe4343d ago

Im pretty sure PC will at least be 800x600 since, you know, it supports a wide array of resolutions.

Razputin4342d ago

LOL. Man I remember those days.

But seriously 1080p has been the standard of high end PC gaming. Not everyone could do it, but it was the best standard for quite a long time.

Now 4K is the high end standard and GPUs will have the VRAM to support those resolutions with high settings.

Codewow4343d ago

This game is gonna be great, but I am gonna hate that combat...

OC_MurphysLaw4343d ago

I personally loved the combat in Witcher 2 so hoping for something similar.

Codewow4343d ago

I was fed up with the combat after 15 minutes of playing Witcher 2. :/ I was using keyboard and mouse though, so maybe I just need to plug in a controller to make it bearable.

OC_MurphysLaw4343d ago

@Codewow Witcher 2 combat was definitely better on controller. Highly recommend giving it a 2nd chance with a controller.

bumnut4343d ago

I played it with a 360 controller, played like crap with keyboard and mouse.

Rob_Ko4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

with mouse + keyboard? ewwwwwww
do yourself a favor and buy a controller

TheTwelve4343d ago

Witcher combat is complex and atypical...that's why I love it.

BallsEye4343d ago

by disagrees I guess some people hate the game...or are butthurt fanboys.

ScorpiusX4343d ago

Am going to assume so and go with both reasons.

NerdStalker4343d ago

It's ashame you will be playing the inferior version on your xbox one ballseye

WeAreLegion4343d ago

Very nice. They've accomplished a lot with the new consoles. I think I'll get it on PS4 at launch and wait for a Steam sale to purchase the PC version.

brads44343d ago

Why on earth would you need 2 copies of the same game? You must hate having money.

WeAreLegion4343d ago

If I like a game enough, I like to support the developer as much as possible. I also enjoy having the option to play it in two different ways.

ps360s4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

actually I do the same with other games too

once games hits steam sale I get the same games on the PC too lol ><

I know, its addictive the steam sales

elhebbo164343d ago

@wearelegion then just buy the game twice on GOG.com if you really want to 'support the devs'. If you buy on console they only get a portion of what you actually pay anyways.

http://www.gog.com/thewitch...

it even says you will be supporting the devs %100.

JBSleek4343d ago

Wait huh?

So you will pay for a full priced version on PS4 before you get the better version on PC? Shouldn't that be the opposite way. Assuming you have a PC that can outperform a PS4.

gamerfan09094343d ago

Yeah that was pretty dumb logic. If you have a PC, a game like the Witcher should be a no doubt purchase on it.

WeAreLegion4343d ago

I do have a PC that can outperform the PS4, but the PC price will come down much sooner.

No matter how innocent my comments are, you find a way to be contradictory. You're ridiculous.

ps360s4343d ago

why not? his choice...

JBSleek4343d ago

"No matter how innocent my comments are, you find a way to be contradictory. You're ridiculous."

Could you not be so sensitive. I asked a logical question on why you would buy an inferior version first. You answered it so I have no further reply.

elhebbo164343d ago

@PS360 because its a pretty stupid choice, objectively speaking.

D3ATH_DRIV3R_7774343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

Juding by your disagrees, you are not so bright!
Such a contradictious comment you made. That's his choice!
yeah pc will outperform PS4, we know that, but that's still wrong dude. Accept his choice and move along!

It's cheaper on PC; why would you buy it on PS4 if you can run it on your PC?

Mr Tretton4343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

The game comes out at the same price on PC and console when it launches.

buttclown4343d ago

Yeah but if you on both Witcher and Witcher 2 you can get it for like 48 bucks preordering from gog.com

Imalwaysright4343d ago

Why would you buy the PS4 version 1st? If you played the 1st 2 games, the choices you made will carry over to the 3rd and if you haven't played them yet, do yourself a favor and go play them.

TheTwelve4343d ago

I'm also buying the game twice --- good on you. These developers are good guys.

D3ATH_DRIV3R_7774343d ago (Edited 4343d ago )

@WeAreLegion: If you want to buy both on different platforms, do it! don't let ppl bend you out of shape because of it.

JBSleek4343d ago

I hope he isn't bent out of shape over what people he doesn't know say on the internet.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

Cause they play NBA2k26, COD and gamepass

Fishy Fingers76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

3x less sales than Playstation.
3x less consoles sold than Playstation.

Per captita, it averages out that the same number of users are buying CDP games regardless of platform, no?

Bathyj76d ago

The exact same or possibly more because a series S, initial investment and effort to Port to Xbox consoles for a third of the return.

Simply not worth it

LMGk76d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

A third is a pretty big number to be honest. Like would you rather make 15 million or 20 million? That's the difference that a third makes.

GamingSinceForever77d ago

Hey it’s ok. They are really impressed with XBOx’s new CEO so exclusivity is on the way. 😂

Loktai76d ago

Ok but I mean be logical ... modern PC, Switch, PS4 PS5 then you have XBOX, of all of those XBOX is probably only 10 percent... I mean, what do you expect? 10 percent increase in sales is still nothing to sneeze at, remember - this is CD projekt red and they sell a lot of software. 10 percent of their sales is probably what most studios DREAM of selling .... just playing devils advocate..... its easy to say LOL haha XBOX.... but.. I mean we know what it is at this point. I havent bought on since my xbox one X and before that I only used other peoples xboxes since the OG XBOX and stick with PC and Playstation and switch OLED, but .. I mean.... theres nothing WRONG with an xbox considering its just not the best - but they work fine. make no mistake.

jznrpg358d ago

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

M3talDiamond358d ago

Day 1 but Please release a PS5 Pro patch also

repsahj358d ago (Edited 358d ago )
