I've played through The Witcher 3 probably 4 times, and spent 100s of hours in it. I've been waiting so long to play again on PS5. SO EXCITED!!
Right there with you. Good luck on The Path.
Damn must be nice
@@MrLachapell They have been easy to come by this last month , I got a digital edition for 400 bucks from target .
get yourself a pc bro. best thing i ever did. i will never go back XD
@@abniobgnuoy9698 I have a gtx3070 PC, but its only used for PCVR or the rare PC exclusive. Multi plats i'd rather play on my xbsx. Overall it gives a better experience.
I have 500+ in this game. I was honestly pretty exhausted by it and thought I had run my interest out on it, but with this update it feels like a fresh experience. I’m probably doing one final play through, and watch that anniversary video and cry again.
Good to read that, so its an unspoken rule, everyone who finished the game watch the anniversary video once for all, I thought It was just me.
500+ minutes? Nice
This was my 3rd and final playthrough for the foreseeable future I just finished. By accident I installed the PS4 version and my first thought was “Why does this run like trash?” Thank god I noticed it right away lol.
It looked insane before, and now it looks insanely fucking gorgeous.
Seriously! It blew my mind how beautiful the game was back then, and even the vanilla graphics somewhat hold up today (maybe not vs UE5 games). This is gonna be INSANE!
DLSS alone is going to be a HUGE game changer on PC, which isn't even mentioned in this video. The terrible aliasing in the original game was my biggest problem with it, even at very high resolutions, and there is no mod to fix that.
@@TheRailwaystationistExactly! I’m really looking forward to being able to use DLSS on PC so I don’t have to choose between ray tracing and 60FPS. The last time I played the game was at 1440P on a 1070. Replaying the updated version at 4K with a 3080 will be sweet.
Wait till you see Toussaint with RT
@@Piketom1 Can't wait to play it too on pc with a 3070 with raytracing. last time I finished witcher was back when I have my PS4, 30fps never bothered me back then. This is gonna be awesome
That quick Sign feature seems so obvious that I don't understand why that original selection menu ever existed.
This is probably the last update we'll ever receive for this masterpiece. Enjoy it while it lasts ladies and gents
Or like GTA V, until the PS12
Ah I think it’s got one more coming. It’ll probably get a framerate boost for the raytracing mode whenever the next batch of consoles come around
Yep, and then we'll get a new witcher game!!
@@willkydd Modern Audience =🤢🤮
Last significant update probably, but I think it's a safe bet that there will be patches fixing any potential bugs with this release.
Music,lore, atmosphere in this game is just priceless 👌 my favorite game all time. Witcher 3 is a classic.
I’d say so too.
it is all but impossible for me to say "the one" favorite game because they are all so different.
However, The Witcher 3 ranks up in my favorite games of all times.
Others would be:
Bloodlines
Stalker (the mods are insane)
Subnautica
Valheim
I just love good games
Same
Ditto
A MASTERPIECE!
Coming from a person who started playing the Witcher 3 on the PS4 slim (1080p TV) and then migrated to the PS5 with a 4K TV, this update looks and feels absolutely INCREDIBLE. With the improved graphics & framerate, and the addition of Haptic feedback and smoother controls, playing this again feels like a fresh experience! I'm jealous of all you PC users who've had the opportunity to experience this masterpiece as it was intended for years. Hats off to CDPR for providing this update for free and to everyone else reading this good luck on The Path!
Is there any update for ps5 …
One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the 10s of these vids I've seen is that you sprinting doesn't drain your magic bar anymore! I can't be the only one that loves this. Also probably huge for speedrunning
After this, I don't even ride on Roach within Novigrad. Just sprint around the city all day and it's so much convenient than before
@Kx xK what ? Annoying? That litetally takes away from the immersion you might aswell have no stamina drain while attacking ? Dodging ? Wtf
@@mVpkilla93I think the best way would be to only not consume magic when not in combat but sprinting around in combat should drain it as usual
no more werewolf decoc
@@mVpkilla93 according to the lore a witcher should be able to run non-stop for hours on end. So the change should actually be more immersive.
And it's not a magic bar, it's literally called stamina.
As a PC player, who's never bothered to learn how to mod, and a MASSIVE Witcher fan, this is so exciting to me. I Look forward to run through the game for the umpteenth time. And another excuse to get that Witcher tattoo I've been meaning to get
Get nexus bro super easy to learn to mod 10 min youtube vid and your set.
Mods are really easy to set up.
Don't be discouraged, it's not as time consuming as you'd think
@@nfdhje38743m it's not that I'm particularly discouraged, I just don't really care to mod, it's really difficult for me to explain my reasonings, but I have just as fun with unmodded games
@@EVMjimmy Trust me, you say that. But once you've actually entered the world of mods, it's impossible to go back.
There's so much more than just Quality of Life modding. You've got entire new quests, items, textures, skills, reshades, music, skins and so so so much more. There is no game that doesn't get better with mods.
I think you owe it to yourself to watch a guide some day, you'll be modding in no time. It's why millions of people are still playing Skyrim every day 11 years later.
i prefer to reference the netflix nilfgaardian armor as the " black ballsack set"
Put 236 hours in looks like a good time to hop back in for some fun. The hidden HUD is a big thing I wanted but having the buffs kinda shoved up there feels a bit off still. Hope everyone enjoys there return to this wonderful game!
i'm 5 hours in and i abandoned it
Them rookie numbers. I did that first playthrough at launch.
*their
Got Witcher 3 in June 2021, deliberately waited for the next gen update. So excited to get started!
I think it’s out on 2 more days.
Out in less than 24 hours
That was a long wait
Whoa. Fellow Patient gamer! It’ll be epic
I got it around the same time, but I just couldn't be bothered waiting so long. I finished it a month ago.
Those sunset soaked fields in White Orchard, holy, I was not expecting it to look this beautiful when it's already visually impressive pre-patch.
As per Digital Foundry, reflections are not raytraced on console, but SSR has been implemented and improved. I think raytracing only applies to Global Illumination and Ambient Occlusion (which only come into effect in the 30fps mode). Luckily, improved SSR applies to both the 30fps and 60fps modes, so still a noticeable improvement from last-gen (along with other upgrades you mentioned).
Edit: Improved* SSR is in fact not included in performance mode, which is kind of surprising.
I thought DF said the improved SSR does _not_ make it into performance mode. Hm.
@@williamcrms Honestly from what I've seen reflections and water as a whole look better and sharper on performance mode..
@@ivayloborov3462 I believe that performance mode, as with last gen, is likely using static cube map reflections. These can be sharper and do not have the same artefacting/disocclusion problems as SSR, but they also tend to be much less accurate to their surroundings.
Edit: A basic form of SSR is in fact used on last-gen/vanilla PC (this is unchanged in performance mode on current gen consoles AFAIK).
@@ivayloborov3462 performance mode also most likely has better consistency on the dynamic resolution. Ray tracing mode probably down scales a bit. There's already talk of some performance issues on raytracing mode for people who've received it early or have started today.
@@Epiousios18 the default SSR in performance mode is still an improvement over last-gen. It’s the “Raytraced” mode that includes the even further improved SSR.
No more loot window opening when picking up herbs. Its worth it.
The trees hardly blow in the wind like it did before, little things like that bothers me lol
Between the main game, DLC and mods, this has to be my favorite game of all time.
I paused my first playthrough of TW3 when the next gen upgrade was announced like two years ago. So psyched to jump back in.
Same here. I had finish the main story and was starting the expansions, but stopped when I hear of an update. I will be starting over again, so I can enjoy all over from scratch.
You should probably start over duck unless you plan to watch a all of the cutscene video up to the point you got to because otherwise I’d find it hard to remember it all after that long
Yep me too! I lost my save file on PC about 20 hours in back in 2015 and wanted to reply last year, I played a few hours in on PS5 but soon as I heard about the upgrade I decided to put it down until we got the 60fps - cannot wait to get back on it again! Only 7 years to give it a proper attempt lol
@@MAJIMAXKIRYU69 Ya definitely gonna start over. Had a lot of fun with the first 20 or so hours that I played + I don’t remember every plot detail
@@BigSaulo Yeah i was gonna stop too *152 hrs later*.... well.. so much for the first playthrough... but I guess i can play new game plus with the upgrades? lol
Wonder how many people were excited on the day of this video and then got the update and were like....oh.....is that it? That's if it actually ran at all for them...
I forgot how much i love this game, can't wait to start another cozy winter playthrough
13:33
The closer camera view is what I’m most excited for been wanting that forever
same! I dont think it will suit Combat though, as enemies circle you
Roach being able to back up
This is why PC is and always will be superior.
Mods.
Mods,
and more mods.
Ive been using a similair on setup on pc for a year - really changes up the ambience of the world - though I set it to autoswitch back to normal for combat.
@@HostileAtHeart well yeah PC has its advantages. I will be on PC, but playing vanilla. It can also be a ball ache to make all the mods work together
60 fps Witcher 3? A wet dream lol.
Started my playthrough for the first time in 5 years.
I first played and beat the game twice back to back in 2017. I had tried to play it again but never followed through, as with time the age began to show. This update finally gives me a chance to relive my favorite open world rpg of all time. Even if just one more time.
What you're looking at with 30fps mode is actually screenspace reflections for the water, which is why they go away when you point the camera down (it falls back to the simplified reflections). Performance mode and the original game did not use full screenspace reflections, instead having simplified reflections. Detailed SSR like this does have a noticeable framerate impact in games, which is probably why it's in the 30 fps mode. Not sure to what extent raytracing is used for reflections, if at all. Maybe on the PC version.
PC has access to the full ray-tracing suite (Shadows, reflections etc.)
There are no RT reflections on consoles. This video is funny.
@@filiporkowski Classic Luke tbh
PC Master Race can handle full RT + 60 - 144 fps. It depends on Money. PS5 is just a Toys ´R us machine. sry^^ most people don´t even know that. lmao every time PS or Xbox announcing new games with ne graphic´s. Im always like "what are they mean by new graphics? Oh that old Engine from 7 years ago.....ok i see..."
@@scrinbot I'm guessing you're salty due to the fact you still don't have one lol... btw got a rig with a 3080 but prefer the ps5 due to reasons... mainly use my pc for music production... not much room with gigs and gigs of vsts and sample libraries...so yeah to each their own but you seem like a glass half empty kinda dude... cheer up bud.
CD Projekt working on Raytracing for .... years. And everybody, literally EVERYBODY..."Yeah, I'd rather have 60 fps, thank you though."
This couldn't have come at a better time. My all time favorite game that I haven't played in years and never molded on pc. Just got a new rig and will be playing it in 4k. Very excited!
Conversion is rough. It runs worse than cyberpunk with RT
I guess I’ll finally go for the platinum on this now that next gen is out!
Me too, I got only 4 trophies left. One of them is "Death March" run. It's gonna be hard, but fun
@@fr_4665 alchemy build, trust me it's op, even more OP if you play with NG+
@@AhmadWahelsa I'll try it, thanks!
@@fr_4665 honestly the only "hard" bits of death march are a couple of side mission fail states where characters die permabently to enemy mobs, blinding grenades help A LOT in these scenarios
@@sneaky5141 I'll keep that in mini, thank you!
Says ”you‘ll also notice the minimap is off“ while he is the minimap xD
I'm so stoked abt this. I was late to the party, and only tried W3 a couple years ago. I couldn't get into the 30 frames, so I put it down pretty quick. Now my first playthrough is gonna be all sexy.
Same here brotha, so stoked!
Anyone watching this today, it has been further updated to include Quick Oil applications and Bomb changes in the radial menu too.
So refreshing to see a normal scheduled video being dedicated to charity❤️
at 4:50 this is because the game is using "screen space reflections" which is the "easiest" and most lightweight way to do good looking reflections. There is zero ray tracing involved in this so I don't know why they call this Ray Tracing mode. Reflections are not ray traced at all. Kinda awkward since at least PC was already using screen space reflections before in the old version of the game so I don't know whats really new about this update. Not that I care too much about ray tracing tho, screen space looks great already (should be able to do 60fps with screen space tho)
Why do people think you have to pull up menu for signs? while on combat all you have to do is hold the block button and move left or right on the D-pad to change the sign without ever having to pull up the sign menu
Only Grandmaster witchers know this skill apparently🤣
I'd be willing to assume that at one time you didn't know this info either. Seems kinda stuck up to then act like other people are not doing it right. Especially when you could relay the same information without being (insert desired insult here)
Just a thought homie 🤔
@@badger297 live and learn homie, save your silver and steel keyboard skills for the update💪😂🙏
@@badger297 why you being so emotional dude chill
@@oscarcruz5989 idk how you were able to discern any emotion from that. All I did was state my opinion. Just because you say I'm "all emotional" doesn't make it so. I swear to God, my intelligence goes down just interacting with people on this platform.
The only next-gen upgrade this game needs is player character animations. He looks hunchbacked and jumpy..
I was LITERALLY just watching your video where you went back to play Witcher 3, and sure enough I’m surprised with this video. I’m excited to jump into Witcher 3 for the first time on Wednesday!
It’s a wonderful game, don’t get discouraged at first with the deep world. It’s a wonderful experience
Luke: if you play on PC you've been able to play this already for honestly 7 years...
Me in 2023: struggling to maintain 40 FPS on Witcher 3 next gen update with my rtx 4090.
A quick correction, the raytracing effects global illumination, meaning the, indirect lights, not reflection. Reflections are still screenspace (reflects what have been already rendered, but flipped instead. that's why the reflection disappear at tight angles).
Never had the chance to play this game so I’m super excited for this one. Going to be like a brand new game for me
I’m jealous
Me too mate got it for 8 quid on ps store deal year n half ago. Heard there was a next gen patch Comin so I just left it. Now it's like a bran new game. Good Times sir 👍
So jealous 😩
Just started for the first time! I'm more into the fromsoft type of game but already loving this one and finding myself thinking about it all day at work!
If this next gen update will be your first playthrough, fucking get ready ladies & gentlemen
@@Fly7th you ever play the mass effect trilogy?
As a PC player without the best newest GPUs, this update was a godsend. The game run better than ever at higher graphics I could never run before. That and the small improvements across the board and new content give me another reason to play the game again, which honestly I was going to do eventually anyway. Very happy with this update.
I can't see how this is different graphically from the original version
I can’t wait to play this game again. I just beat it for a 3rd time in the beginning of this year . Personally my favorite game of all time .
The next gen upgrade releases on my BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday bro
@@MaKabre82 thanks bro
Well, we now know why the PC codes weren't getting handed out. Oooph 🤮
When 4080's are struggling, you know they effed up.
Super excited for this, haven't played the Witcher 3 in about a year. I play on pc, so I had the hd rework and other mods. Im very keen to experience Geralds world from other his shoulder. Thats going to be next gen enough for me!
Thanks Luke always enjoy your commentary and insight!
Who else went to the comment section to see digital foundries response.
I’ve started this game like 4 times and only ever got about 10 hours in each time. But this time I’m gonna finish
Did you finish it this time?
@ yes and it stands in my top 10 games of all time
A big turn off for me was how you changed spells but now it’s much easier and smoother
When he said Jacob screenshot this i freaked out for a sec
I actually finished witcher 3 for the first time a month ago, and can confidently say that closer camera is exactly what it needs, also some of next-gen features were mods before like dynamic mini-map and so on
13:33 garbage
@@hallucy2215 What are you about exactly?
Those water reflections aren’t raytracing, they’re screen space reflections. The actual raytracing you get with this is global illumination which basically affects how light bounces off surfaces in the world. This is most noticeable when indoors or the shading on Geralts armor and chain Mail and results in darker richer shadows
Pc version has proper RT, buts its extremely demanding and quite unoptimized. Even RTX 4090 struggles if you don't use dlss and frame generation ( frame generation only on RTX 40 series cards ).
I've been holding off a new playthrough for this update. I CAN'T WAIT!
I honestly cannot notice a difference between the performance and fidelity mode graphics, but the downgrade from 60 to 30 fps feels TRAGIC. honestly dont think ill ever understand the whole graphics thing
The Witcher 3 is one I've slept on, I had it on PC when it first came out, but I ended up quitting gaming for a few years and never got around to playing it. I'm excited to finally experience this masterpiece!
6 months later and I hope this game changed your outlook on video games, like it did to me!? Best game ever made.
Same! I quit gaming from 2013 to 2022. Came back for Elden Ring which is my all time best. Now rolling through some of the good ones I have missed! 10 hours into this one and wow, damn good game! Freaking huge!
Game is now completely fucked up on PC. Maybe CDPR shouldn't release any more patches cause game might be completely unplayable after few more
This is basically what I remember the game looking like, the mind is the best GPU in existence lmao
I love W3 and I spent over 300h playing it BUT the Complete Edition optimization sucks on PC... I have some kind of strange visual glitches where the resolution goes down and everything looks like a pixel art game, droping frames ect.. in version 1.32 with the tone of modes games worked significantly better than in this new version.
The camera change was so needed.
I can't wait to play this game for the very first time!
Enjoy it, don't rush. 💪
I'm jealous man, I wish I could play this for the first time again. Take your time, soak it all in. You're going to love it!
Same here!
Lucky
Is it me, or is everyone else suprised they have to target 30fps on current gen consoles with ray tracing with a 2014 game? I know they have upped the quality on certain elements but damn
Yeah, it's pretty shitty 4k 60 isn't even the norm, there is no excuse. 2 years in and we're still getting compromised cross gen shit. Really bugs me now that we have to pick a mode
Correction at 4:31, the Reflections aren't Ray Traced, its a higher quality SSR being used on the water. PC has ray traced reflections but Next-Gen consoles do not.
That moment when "Next Gen Konsols" are announced and they say you can play on 120fps and 8k bruh..
it can't even run a game which ist 7 Years old on maximum and 60fps.
a bit disappointed allthough i am playing it on pc but as a ps5 owner I would be triggered if my ps5 can't run it on full in 60fps and rtx.
Witcher 3 is one of my all time favorites, so excited for the next gen update on PS5 🐺⚔️
CD Pojekt : “Let’s hire our fans modder that made our game better “
Rockstar Games : “Let’s sue them”
Im so excited for this to drop! My favorite game of all time. Been wanting to play this again for over a year but forced myself to wait for this update.
13:33 garbage
The witcher 3 remaster is one of the worst optimized games I've ever played on PC! Truly disgraceful of CDPR to release a game like this with horrible DX12 support.
The update is already being criticized: poor performance on high end PCs, toxicity is bugged, stealth nerfs to alchemy; on my game it deleted my manual saves and replaced them with corrupted auto-saves. Great update indeed
Ok
Ok
I went on steam today and saw like a 50gb update for the witcher 3. That's absolutely crazy for an update that big for no new content. I'm just never updating this game
They have done us proud, what an amazing job guys .

I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games.
I quit Warcraft because of the aimlessly farming and grinding and cash to play. The game got old and felt like a constant grind and farm machine with no end. I was debating on purchasing Diablo 4 ( I've read D4 is a cash grab and aimlessly farming, no clue) Witcher 3, Lies of P, Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, Jedi Survivor, and Baldurs Gate.. Any suggestions, and is Playstation Plus mandatory or worth it?
Was thinking about getting Ragnarok as it is currently discounted
@@Wetterwet It's amazing, do it! I did it in easiest mode and used youtube to help complete quests and find the hidden ravens and puzzles. Lots of button combos for game play lol
Buy the Witcher 3, it's the best game I've ever played.
@-Cheat I'm 38 hours into it, so many quests, and if you don't do them in order, easy to fail, which sucks 😲 The story is insane and the ladies help, lol I'm only level 15 but I'm addicted it's my favorite game too. I did buy Star Wars Survivor and Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut, but I haven't played either yet addicted to the ladies 😅 Hope they're good games, bought both on sale.
@@shanew7361star war jedi survivor is a sequel of jedi fallen order, you should play that before survivour, the last of us, infamous second son, uncharted 1 2 3 and 4 you can get in a bundle on sale i think, spider-man 1-2 , final fantasy remake all fire games.
Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake
Baldurs gate 3 is very good to, probably best RPG of all time.
Cyberpunk is also phenomenal now aswell.
Detroit become human . lol i can go on.😂
. You’re lucky to play ghost of tshumia for the first time . What a game
And have you played the other god of war games? there available in a bundle .
I wonder how the quick sign casting works with the alternate signs where you hold the button down. (Like the flamethrower sign)
Also for me, I prefer better image quality mode over better frame rate, I guess I just like looking at a pretty picture over being more smooth.
If it functions like the mod, exactly the same. You simply hold the input combination, assuming you have the advanced sign equipped. Which is why, incidentally, they put Igni on the trigger :)
My man is playing on PlayStation and forgot to mention how they finally fixed the glitch that was exclusively on PlayStation you couldn’t complete the wolf gear quest at all couldn’t even start it at the time they couldn’t fix it the best they could do was put a sorry note in but finally after all these years
So, about that "runs great" part... Turns out it doesn't, at least on PC.
Resolution is also way lower in RTX mode. Honestly, the lighting and shadows are truly gorgeous in that mode and they're a huge temptation to play in that mode, but that's the only reason. The RT mode is just gonna be used by me to switch to in certain moments or for screenshots.
Alright time for this game to take another 100 hours from my life

The PS5 version doesn't have raytraced reflections. Quality mode improves the SSR however, which is the difference you're noticing.

Hearts of Stone is something special, but Blood and Wine is basically the size of the entire base game and nothing to sneeze at.

I'm 20 hours into my first play through, and I think it might be my favourite game ever
I love this update, but I highly recommend performance mode. Ray Tracing looks nice but the frame rate feels inconsistent. Performance mode still looks excellent, much better than the last gen version
RTX is not worth the 30fps over 60fps
Take notes Bethesda, Skyrim Anniversary Edition could have done some polishing. 10 years later for some copy paste and creation club mods, COME ON!!!
This looks great, like that they've added some QoL changes to the update as well as just graphical improvements, and the fact that it's all free and not a re-release. Time to do my 4th full playthrough of my favourite game, hope my laptop can do it justice, it can run 2077 on high so should be good for my standards (Idk about having everything on ultra with 60fps as long as I've got a smooth framerate and enough stuff turned on to show off the updated graphics).
I much prefer the centered camera. Playing with the offset camera always feels awkward and uncomfortable to me. It feels like im playing games with one eye shut. It also makes moving the camera feel more awkward to me. Ultimately its also a game. I want what I am doing to be centered. I don't mind cinematic camera angles in cutscenes and stuff but I have always hated this offset camera - especially in shooters.
agreed. I was fine with it in god of war and other games, but for the witcher, centered and drawn back feels better.
I've been waiting a year 2 touch this game again. Nice detailed review. I have PC I'm really looking to see how this official mod holds up compared to the Witcher 3 HD mod and camera angle mods. My 12th playthrough awaits! Might use a mage this time around with the new game play setup
I want that violent wind against the trees back.
They totally f**ked the Witcher 3 up on PC. It runs like complete trash. How can CDPR be THIS bad?
Me on 144p: Yes let me see how good the next gen update looks lol
Skyrim AE was $20, not $60
Just bought this game for $15 and currently watching the Netflix series. Can't wait to start my first playthrough
I put 20 hours in my 3rd and final attempt to get into TW3. I just couldn't get into the game. Geralt comes off as the cartoonish fantasy of a basement gooner, and I found both the world and the Marvel-tier character relationships eye-rollingly drab and cliché. I remain unconvinced that those who hype this game have played much outside of Sony's modern-era, formulaic exclusives.
Same for me but i just installed again for the 4th time hopefully will play through this time
I heard it takes 20-30 hours before it opens up. I'm on my first playthough 22 hours in been doing every little side quest though I'm basically still in the tutorial lol.
Not only do I prefer 60+ fps, but I weirdly preferred the performance modes water reflections on that lake for some reason.
playing games on 30 fps is horrible
I know I am late to the party and somebody has probably mentioned this before, but the Next Gen update doesn't have Ray Traced Reflections on console. Reclections are handled by improved SSR on the quality mode, that is why they look better but still show all the typical artefacts of screen space techniques. Ray tracing is used for GI and AO.
Also, PC players recieve the above mentioned Ray traced GI and AO, and on top of that they also get reflections and shadows. Also, they get new ultra+ settings that look way better than the game ever did. The claim that PC already had all these features is false.
Dissapointing to see such a big channel being so misinformed.
Yep, paid puppet and uneducated. Have a few questions. I just recently purchased a PS5 and completed God of War Ragnarok 100% complete. I loved the storyline, the graphics, and the game. This is the only game I own, and I am looking to purchase more games.

Unplayable on PC. Disgusting how all games these days are only optimized for consoles.

@@visableusername_93 not on consoles.
@Rob Carnage well I've played 5 entire playthroughs of the game, all on console (2 on XB1, 2 on XSX and 1 o PS4pro), and I found the quick swap function on my second playthough. You hold block and press left or right on the dpad to quickly cycle signs without bringing up the sign menu.
Still overrated, never liked the gameplay, especially how geralt moves its like a ps2 game with good graphics
you can change the movement in the settings
nah overrated is red dead redeption 2 .. or any dark souls
The artefacts in the water are due to the the fact that the reflections are done with cube maps with screen space reflection on top. If the objects are not present in screen space, the reflections disappear, with only the cube maps left, which normally tend to be inaccurate.
If the reflexions were done with ray tracing, the artefacting would be lesser, or even non present (if done completely with ray tracing).
i don't like the new cam mode.
Good that you can change it back in settings
so glad my first playthrough is gonna be the enhanced version. ive got 20hrs in the game and i love it so much already
I rly rly hate the new angle. Glade they made us able to change it.
Quick Casting makes combat sooo much better. I'm glad it's finally been added.
4:46 look again . see the large cloud above the houses , when reflected it probably got some green from the water and gave you a "tree" impression.
The new quick sing feature is so amazing. Also, there will be a new fast travel point for the Crow's Perch much closer to the fort.
Gerald can sing now? How ? I lost that, what minute?!
@@g3orgeK. Probably meant the quick sign feature, not sing.
