Yes, supersampling and Native 4K has been confirmed by CDPR, NX Gamer and pixel counters on NeoGAF.

RememberThe3573142d ago

Does that make me the third wheel? 😟

@Genuine-User "Yes, supersampling and Native 4K has been confirmed by CDPR"

Not Native 4K hombre. CDPR implemented a combination of 1440p/1600p using a dynamic resolution scaler, then checkerboarded to 2160p (4K) The difference is stark, can see details missing from 1080p version. Patch was only 130+MB, not enough data to be Native 4K.

kevnb3141d ago (Edited 3141d ago )

you dont need a ton of data to go native 4k, the textures are already high enough quality. I wish people would study how graphics are rendered just a little more, even journalists get it wrong so often. Remember when they used to call a game rendered at higher res up-scaled(thankfully they stopped once up-scaling techniques became a hot topic)?

steveo1234563141d ago

Its not native its checkboard upscaling

yeahokwhatever3141d ago

@FoxyGotGame
"not enough data to be 4k.." Please, just stop. Stop right there. We're not talking about a film where each frame is stored as an image and then played back. We're talking about 3D graphics' rasterized output. It takes 0 more HDD space to change the resolution from 1p to 2000000000p in a game. Don't believe me? Fire up your PC. Observe your HDD space for a game, change the resolution, then observe again your HDD space. It didn't change! Magic? I think not.

what about textures and HDR?

BrettAwesome3142d ago

As far as I know, no HDR :(

Bigpappy replied to a personal message I send him, telling me to fuck my mother and sisters. But not my dad. Why? You have a crush on him?

MegamanXXX3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

@Brett

LMFAO 😅😂😁

bluefox7553142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

@Brett Sounds about right for him.

Liqu1d3141d ago

@BrettAwesome Report him to the mods, he should be banned for that.

kevnb3141d ago

it doesnt need better textures, you wouldnt even notice a difference.

Update:

CDPR is using checkboard rendering to achieve 4K. I’ve heard their technique is similar to the one used in Gravity Rush 2.

Ju3141d ago

Gravity rush uses native 4k geometry with lower texture resolution. This here certainly improves texture resolution as well.

joab7773141d ago

No way this game is native 4k. Do appreciate the love though. I platted it and almost platted twice but for a glitch. But deleted to make room. Really wanna see this on my 4k tv though.

bigmalky3142d ago

Awesome. Started a second playthrough a couple of days ago just waiting for this. Glad it came sooner than later. CDPR still delivering for the consumer, unlike the majority of pub/devs in the industry.

Genuine-User3142d ago

Yeah, I'm finally going to start a second playthtough thanks to this new patch.

proofmaster3142d ago

So this is getting approved even though it's a duplicate story. Amazing collaboration you have there Eurogamer and God is a Geek. Approving each other's posts and ignoring reports. You really are contributing to this community arent' you?

Ju3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

Wth. This is the original story from EG. Why shouldn't it get approved.

proofmaster3142d ago

And how is it different from this one http://wccftech.com/the-wit... that was submitted before the cancerous EG "news"?

proofmaster3142d ago

Oh, so you are one of them. No reply, only downvotes... Figures...

Ju3142d ago

GO. Are you on a personal vendetta here? And what about the downvotes on the other submission?

Almost feels some people don't want this news to get out. Can't be, because it was just announced enhanced fir that x-tra console, yet comes out earlier on the Pro.

proofmaster3142d ago (Edited 3142d ago )

Your last comment makes no sense... I have no idea what you wanted to say. This is no personal vendeta, the story is a duplicate. DS is a clickbait website that gives people cancer. What part do you not understand?

darthv723142d ago

I have a question. Why the competition to get something posted before the other guy and why not allow for multiple same-type stories to be submitted?

RememberThe3573142d ago

Yeah I thought we were okay with dups now. I haven't submitted in years but I thought submission rules were relaxed quite a bit with the news boiler launch? Maybe it was just the Twitter and forum posts I'm thinking of.

rainslacker3142d ago

Sometmes duplicates get approved because not everyone realizes that its a dup before approving the article. Sometimes, those dupes go unnoticed, even when reported, because the moderation on the site is often lacking. It's not some conspiracy.

in any case, the original source story typically gets preference over one that cites said article, even if the one doing the citing posts first, which is probably good as the original tends to be further down the approval list so it gets noticed later, or not at all, and the one doing the citing tends to have less info, or be poorly edited.

@proof

It's easy to point out an example, but you are under the assumption that this site is heavily moderated. It isn't. Reports aren't always ignored, they're just not always noticed.

It's a problem on the site, sure, but it's not some conspiracy.

In any case, you seem too worked up over this. It does seem like you have some stake in the stories themselves as if you are part of one these websites.

proofmaster3141d ago

@rainslacker you are absolutely right. I have no connection to any site mentioned whatsoever. What I have a problem with is clickbait websites like DS and people who submit news for them. When they submitted the news I am sure they got a notification that it was a duplicate. What did they do? Ignore that shit and post anyway in hopes that their bots will approve the story first. It's unfair to the people who reported this first, it is unfair to shit on someones hard work just because you have people who are ready to approve your BS article even if it's a duplicate story.
N4G really needs some hard moderation, that's a given, but I sometimes feel that cancerous websites like DS have some kind of privilege here, like their stories (even if they are completely the same as any previous submission) won't get penalized by the mods here. That is an issue. These fuckers are getting traffic because of that, their website is more popular because of that and it's completely unfair. I am sure that 90% of the downvotes I got are form their bots and "fans".
All they had to do is add their story as an alternative source when they got a warning that it was a duplicate and that's it. But they didn't and that's why everyone who works for DS is an asshole.

I downloaded the update a few hours ago and a game that already looked amazing now looks even better!

No. 60 fps is asking for too much from a huge open world game with great visuals.

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 Fingers52d ago (Edited 52d 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?

Bathyj52d 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

LMGk52d ago

“ Simply not worth it”

And yet, basically every game comes to Xbox.

NotoriousWhiz51d ago (Edited 51d 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.

GamingSinceForever52d ago

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

Loktai52d 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.

jznrpg334d 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.

M3talDiamond334d ago

Day 1 but Please release a PS5 Pro patch also

repsahj334d ago (Edited 334d ago )
