The Witcher 3 willl not have any visual cutbacks on PS4/One compared to PC

This was from a interview that dualshockers conducted

: Youre at the forefront of the adoption of the next generation consoles. Are you already working on the devkits? What are your impressions of the Xbox One and PS4? Are there any marked differences in horsepower between the two?

K: Yes, weve been working on Microsoft and Sony-provided devkits for some time now, well before the consoles were officially presented. As for the differences between the two both are very potent pieces of hardware and developing games on them is a pleasure.

G: Will the game look any different on different platforms or youre aiming to make it look the same? Can gamers with high-end PCs expect better visual fidelity at maximum settings like for The Witcher 2?

K: Were aiming to deliver the same experience on all the platforms were developing The Witcher 3 on next gen platforms so visual cutbacks will not be the case here. Eyecandy for everyone!

More things about witcher 3 are talked about in this interview.

The stealth sections from the witcher 2 are not in this gone.

I bet it will have minor visual cutbacks anyway, but it won't hurt the game that much.

Indirect way of saying the design mentality has been consolized?

I dunno if that has as much of a negative connotation as it once did....

So 1080p at 30FPS then?clyde46

[QUOTE="clyde46"]So 1080p at 30FPS then?TheEroica

Sony's Playstation 4 will play this game the best

Witcher 3 pc version will the best that all that matters the console version will be be sub par 30 fps and below most likely

Sony's Playstation 4 will play this game the best out of any other platform 

xboxiphoneps3

:lol: yea right

I'm getting it on PC, 1080p and 60+ baby.clyde46

With better AA, mods and controls. FTW!

[QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="clyde46"]So 1080p at 30FPS then?clyde46

Its hard to believe this especially on X1. How will a 7770 handle TW3 maxed when it can't handle TW2? Even on ps4 i expect at least anti aliasing to be worst

this is mainly due to it being ported over, lazy devs.

That's not true, the Physx stuff won't be done on Consoles, just Nvidia PC's

Veeery excited for this one! :D

I've never played a Witcher game though :-/

This is supposed to be the last chapter in the story (from what I've heard). So I hope they have a pretty amazing recap video since they're only releasing TW3 and not 2 or 1 on next gen consoles.

That just means the game won't look as good as it could.

In terms of asset quality I doubt it, but the console version will most likely only hit 1080p and 30 fps. But for me thats fine .

Considering the console versions will look better then most people playing it on pc I would blame the pc for that.

Thats not true at all, Phyis X was already annouced for consoles.

A lot of stuff seems to be using physx like the fur on wolves

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="silversix_"]wasn't it confirmed to run on ps4 (i know its nvidia exclusive)? im pretty sure ps4 support physx

bout time we got some real hair on things in gaming.  Static hair and fur for way too long :P

Thats because it scales the effects back on 7 year old hardware. The PS4 shouldnt have any problem

The only difference will propably be lack of that Nvidia hair/cloth simulation.

aiming for and actually delivering are two different things.  Let's wait and see

if this doesn't take advantage of my hardware than I will just skip it.Will I be getting near 100fps like in battlefield3?  With that being said, when someone says compared to PC- what exactly do they mean? Comparable to similar spec machines?  How can someone lump 780's/690's/titans/7990's,7970's in with Integrated graphics?

Because if devs pay for it its free $$$$$$

Its a way for them to get there name on next gen console games eventhough the didnt do the hardware.

All it has to do is cloth physics that shouldnt be much of a problem. It seems like just about every demo you see on next gen consoles is using phys-x or something dam close.

[QUOTE="consoletroll"][QUOTE="clyde46"] I just find it strange that Nvidia is letting AMD powered consoles use its GPU accelerated Phys-X technology yet actively go out of their way to screw over AMD GPU owners on the PC.AM-Gamer

[QUOTE="AM-Gamer"]

[QUOTE="consoletroll"] Phys-x always was compatible with amd systems, just not on the gpu. The Cpu handles the phys-x. That is why phys-x sucks on amd systems, no gpu acceleration. The article is basically saying this very thing.clyde46

Yea lots of them have there own demos, im not sure why AMD just doesnt come up with there own and optimize it for there cards and the next consoles.

Considering that most PC gamers who play The Witcher games have pretty beefy rigs, I'd say you're wrong.  Even if that were true by percentages, there is nothing stopping the devs from putting in some higher quality assets for high-end PC hardware.  That's why we have "settings" in PC games.  A novel idea.

And the console version will be equivelent to its max settings, sorry that hurts your feelings. You know why? Becasue an engine is only scaleable to a point and if you jack the assets up high enough lower end pc's will not be able to play the game thus eliminating mroe then half your market. And thsoe pc gamers that have beefy rigs also tend to forget to pay for there games.

That said, graphics aren't really the reason why PC version of Witcher 3 will be the definitive one.

more like not even trying to optimize it for cpu use.  I mean, if you have a really high end cpu, you can brute force it many times...borderlands 2 and mafia come to mind, where AMD gpu systems can run it well.  Not as good as an nvidia gpu doing the work, but it runs.
