Does Realm Reborn (DX!1) look better than Witcher 3?

After inspecting the footage of the downgraded Witcher 3 footage in comparison to the (upgraded) Realm Reborn screenshots, I ask you, what looks better?

I very much dislike how HoverZoom no longer works on GameSpot images

great, more bullshit from TC

God I love how A Realm Reborn looks and feels. That game is just beautiful. ^_^ The Witcher 3 looks great too but I personally think A Realm Reborn looks better primarily because of the artistic design.

RR has a better art style though that's subjective

Never played ARR since december, i'll get back to it after Arkham Knight

Well, it certainly looks better than the most recent gameplay footage shown of TW3

Also should have posted this footage of Heavensward's zones

A truly next generation looking MMO, very impressive.

Those zones in Realm look so awesome.

I swear if I could devote myself to ARR more, it'd be the only thing I'd play for a long time. :P It looks so good! I think I may renew soon and just try and get on for at least an hour a day, maybe get up early in the mornings and go. ^_^

Nope The Witcher 3 is a lot more detailed than Final Fantasy ARR.

Final Fantasy ARR has way lower polygon count, texture resolution, lighting and many other things.

And I say this as a person who plays FF ARR.

Agreed. This thread is silly. It's only makes the OP look bad. Especially once people have played both games for themselves. This thread will be fun to laugh at.

FF ARR doesn't even look as good as The Witcher 2. That's plain to see in the video for anybody who has played The Witcher 2.

Next-gen is finally here :^)

Will the original levels of Realm Reborn be converted for flying mounts?

Hmm.

@uninspiredcup: No, it's only for the expansion zones

This was originally the case with world of warcraft, with the levels at a later date being converted.

Yeah but that wasn't too hard to do because vanilla WoW's zones didn't have invisible walls all over the place, and weren't separated by loading screens. If they were to redesign old zones in FFXIV to accommodate flying it'd be a lot more work.

both are best on PC by a large margin.

Realm reborn

The Witcher 3

It doesn't even come close to The Witcher 2, let alone The Witcher 3.

TW3 graphics aren't impressive anymore but gg on posting blurry ass pics, very nice representation of the game's visuals.

Pc gamers resorting to cherry picked low screenshots.

Sad.

TC resorting to shitty youtube screengrabs

funny

Youtube screenshots are clearly closer to reality, it's why pc gamers complain when used, obviously

.Noticed as well something pc gamers never bothered complain about, the response system (as demonstrated) has now been dumbed down to Dragon Age 2, 3 word replies.

Ironically, Realm Reborn is more of a pc game .

uninspiredcupofshit strikes again.

Mods here remind me of Chief Wiggum, they are there but highly incompetent leaving bait threads like this become the norm of system wars thanks to garbage like shitcup and protoss.

FFXIV ARR is a pretty game... but nowhere near The Witcher 3 ... sadly FF is held back by its engine-limiting gameplay too much.... its infuriating. Every boss fight looks the same (flashy though) ... Bahamut was MEH.

Unfortunately the levels seem limited by the Playstation 3 with constant load screens. The Witcher 3 will most likely have over-sold level size just as the Witcher 2 did.

A prime example of CDP talking shit (per usual)

"this is not fake"

"all of it is explorable"

"It's just a small part"

"all these area's will be explorable"

The Witcher 3 will be no exception, even looking at the footage, what we saw was incredibly linear paths with chest high walls. Chances are your average Zelda game will have more freedom.

Moral choices will amount to "yes, no, maybe", since the game has removed "reading". Again (ironically) Final Fantasy: Realm Reborn has tons of reading, like old CRPG's.

Ironically ironic, due to Final Fantasy primarily deriving from console series that generally cares very little about the pc.

Up-rezzed ps3 game vs a non crossgen game is always a fair comparison. Aside from imo very strong art direction ARR is pretty basic graphically yet still manages to look very appealing. Character models are of very low geometry and texture rez is quite low, outdoor environments are pretty sparse and empty. I do not know if the expansion areas fare better as i stopped playing realm reborn when end game was turn 4 coil runs/wipes (for our fc at least). Witcher 3 even in its apparent downgraded state is still technically superior in almost every way but that doesn't stop arr from still looking nice.

At this point, even Witcher 2 has better textures than Witcher 3. Yes Witcher 3 has more polys and Dx11 specific featues and all that but it looks like a blurry mess. Not surprising because just like how cross gen games hold back current gen versions, multiplats hold back PC version. FACT. Luckily worse graphics won't take away good storyline.

@uninspiredcup said:

Hehe, come on man. Your shtick works better when you keep it somewhat believable.

No.

I very much agree that Project Red are incredibly overated.... the games are carried by an good existing universe, TW1 and TW2 have been very shallow games in my eyes past the nice graphics and great story/dialogue... as actually RPGS! (in terms of the genre and gameplay) they were both pretty crummy... I don't think the studio has that natural talent to exceed in the gameplay department.... these delays don't suprise me at all...

200% agree.

It's baffling how this studio apparently became the forefront fpr pc rpg. Perhaps pc gamers became disillusioned and desperate for something to cling onto when Bioware became console focused and well loved studio's shut down?

It seems CDP gimmick was primarily whispering sweet nothings, telling pc gamers what they wanted to hear.

.The only Witcher game that could arguably be called a pc title is the first. Just like many other companies they have aspired to be console developers, making console style gameplay.

For all intents are purposes, they are pretty much just as much a console developer as Bioware or Bethesda now

I'll take the one with proper gameplay and not the one where you click three times to do a flashy looking combo.

But that's exactly what you do in the Witcher. Realm Reborn has significantly more depth.

Qft

No, and I play FFXIV extensively.

Why are people above posting bullshots? The latest Witcher 3 gameplay footage from PAX East confirms CDPR was lying; game's been downgraded. They're getting close to Ubisoft.

even DAI looks better than witcher 3

Hell moded Skyrim puts it to shame

Dude, I was listening to the soundtrack to ARR last night and all of this morning and I'm itching to play! Sad thing is that I'm currently busy and I don't think it would be worth hopping back in just to have to stop. :(

Summer should really slow down for me so I'm really hoping I can get back in then.

Expansion comes out June :P

@-God-: how is RR better on PC? The PS4 version runs on maximum settings.

MUCH better framerate, easier input options, ability to play above 1080p, sweetFX

@princeofshapeir: The PS4 version runs at 60fps even during massive battles it never drops below 30. It also has full KB+M support. I wouldn't consider that much better on PC.

@Ballroompirate: Ugh! I know! It looks SOOO good and yet I've barely touched the main game in the grand scheme of things. I've got a lot of work to do.

Sure about that?

On PC I never dip below 60 FPS unless I'm in a very crowded area of a town, or doing a FATE with a lot of players. Even then I haven't seen it go below 45. This game, like all MMOs, is CPU-dependent, and the PS4 has a weak CPU.

Yes I love seeing real life with horrible video artifacting and blur.

How about we wait and see how the game looks maxed out and then compare direct feed, high quality screenshots.
