The Witcher 3 dev says that the console edition wasn't downgraded

CD Projekt RED's Damien Monnier says: "You can't say the game is downgraded on consoles, as we didn't knew the specs when we started developing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt."

I am currently playing Witcher 1 on PC right now. And i have to say they have came a long way. I have to say its still one of the best looking games along with Witcher 2. So no doubt this one will be excellent looking.

Mariusmssj4087d ago

I loved witcher 1, the atmosphere is amazing so is the story!!!

starchild4087d ago

Yeah, I agree. Most of the previews I've read have gone out of their way to say how great it looks too.

As for the talk of downgrades, CD Projekt Red have been clear that there has been no downgrade and that the trailers are representative of the PC version on max settings.

Until we've seen the PC version at ultra settings and can compare the same cutscenes and same places in the game the downgrade claims are not warranted. So far all the attempted comparisons have been faulty and have jumped to unsupported conclusions. This is similar to what we saw happen with Infamous Second Son. Many people were convinced the game had been downgraded, but these were erroneous conclusions based largely on lighting changes due to different times of day. http://www.dualshockers.com...

We have yet to see the weather changes in the game and how awesome it will look. Look at Driveclub for example, the weather makes the game look unbelievably better than it already is.

I cant wait to get my hands on Witcher 3. The wait seems too long.

Spinal4087d ago

PC it is! I was gonna get it on my ps4 but after seeing the x1 gameplay I'm definitely sticking to my PC.

cemelc4087d ago

Well im in the minority but i loved the first witcher more than the second game.

That final moment is amazing (wont spoil it)

DarkOcelet4087d ago

Played both btw. Just replaying them :)

The gameplay looks to have come along the most. The combat in the first one, as you know, isn't very fluid, tw2 fixed a good amount of that but it didn't rise to the level of say a souls game, elder scrolls or shadow of mordor. The comabt demos in tw3 look so much more fluid.

I think the faster combat pace, mixed with sweet graphics, at 1080p 60fps on pc is going to look and feel amazing! I'm hoping, hope being the operative word here, that I can get a stable 60 on pc with max settings. Ubsersampling in tw2 killed my frame rate, and tw1 still drops to the high 20's in act 3 ... so, we'll see in May!

DarkOcelet4087d ago

Witcher 2 combat is above elder scrolls but was below Dark souls. And cranking the difficulty to dark mode made one hell of a challenge.

VJGenova4087d ago

I only played it in "hard" and figure I won't have time to try "dark" between now and tw3 launch ... I've heard good things though.

Did they investigate the matter?

kraenk124087d ago

This is so hilarious...The game was always shown on high end PC hardware and when they show one trailer with console graphics everyone screens downgrade?! What do people expect?!

GenuineGamer4087d ago (Edited 4087d ago )

It will be amazing no matter the platform.

Kal-V34087d ago

And it's a damn shame they have to keep constantly stating this. The people that bitch cant even tell if it been downgraded of not really. They are just mad at the fact that it might have been done so they can complain and feel "cheated" or ripped off like they have some sort of higher standard than everyone else. They probably weren't going to buy it to begin with.

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 Fingers79d ago (Edited 78d 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?

Bathyj78d 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

LMGk78d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz78d ago (Edited 78d 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.

GamingSinceForever79d ago

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

Loktai78d 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.

jznrpg360d 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.

M3talDiamond360d ago

Day 1 but Please release a PS5 Pro patch also

repsahj360d ago (Edited 360d ago )

Please include a free Switch 2 upgrade for the switch 1 versions!
