Never played the Witcher.

Anyway I would have to say Mass Effect for the PC because I like its art style.

The Witcher does have very nice graphics. Best PC RPG graphics would either go to The Witcher or Mass Effect. Depends on which style of graphics you like more: medieval-fantasy or sci-fi.

I have played The Witcher Enhanced Edition, i would say that graphics are not good, even ES IV: Oblivion had a better graphics and the game is 3 years old :D . As some of the guys here said, Mass Effect for PC has the best RPG graphics yet.

Not even miles close, looks last gen in lighting and shaders, totally

Mass Effect looks generations ahead on 360

BUT the new Witcher on consoles will have a new engine, a real next gen engine, with great lighting and shaders and does look amazing, but that is only on consoles, on PC will still look totally last gen with the old DX8 based engine

It is called Witcher the hour of the white wolf or something, andWitcher fans better get a console fast

1. The Witcher would barely be achievable on current-gen consoles. 2. Mass Effect on PC looks far better than the console version.

It looks better, but I wouldn't go overboard, most art assets are the same, they just added better lighting and slightly improved some assets and animations. Nice, but nowhere near a generational jump.

Nah, you would have to to completely hardcore Witcher fan to do that for just prettier graphics and some small gameplay tweaks, especially since it will propably get censored like hell and won't have option to turn on polish voice overs like EE does

And ME doesn't look "generations ahead", not even the PC version, it just has better character models, but a lot worse enviorements. PC ersion of ME is prettier than Witcher EE, but not by much.

1. HAHAHA, is that why it looks a million times better on cosnoles then ????

PC fanboys must have gone crazy thinking Witcher looks next gen ONLY on consoles !!!! hahaha, that is really precious

Here, Witcher on CONSOLES picture below, the REAL next gen version, ONLY on consoles

2. Mass Effect on 360 looks about 99% same as on PC, i have both versions actually

No, they aren't. Some look just downright horrible, most are average, few are good (Citadel and Normandy mostly), but even those are look worse than best Witcher's ones

It has added bump-mapping on the road and hdr. A nice improvement (and it looks better than Fable2 at least), but nowhere near generational jump

It doesn't to me. Empty barren landscapes with spotty texture work and low geometrical detail with endless repetition of few art assets over and over and och my god..over again. The first time you land on the planet it looks great, after 5 minutes it looks merely good and if you spend enough time on it you realize just how undetailed it is and how little actual assets are used, the repetition is killing the visuals, not to mention the fact that majority of planets consist almost solely of ground texture and ground map

Overall yes, technically no. The textures are flat and many of the character models lacking. But the environments are so detailed and beautiful that I would say yes. Mass Effect with lubed rocks and barren maps or Oblivion/FO3 with plastic graphics and clunky animations just don't please my eyes the same way.
