MULTI The Witcher III Wild Hunt - Free Next-Gen update releasing Dec 14th, 2022

[Necrokiller]

Isn't backward compatible mode on Series X already dynamic 4K 60? A whole new gen hardware and moving from Medium to near Ultra is a paltry upgrade.

The biggest upgrade, however, is something that was only possible on a Steam Controller before, the sign casting controls upgrade. Makes the combat flow much fluid.

RT Shadows and RT reflections also confirmed for PC!
Nvidia Reflex and DLSS 2/3.

• RTX Global Illumination (RTXGI) adds more immersive and realistic outdoor ray-traced lighting
• Ray-traced ambient occlusion improves shading around objects occluding light
• Ray-traced shadows improve the fidelity, clarity and visibility of shadows
• Ray-traced reflections increase the accuracy and quality of reflections on bodies of water and other suitably reflective surfaces

On top of that, Ultra+ settings increase draw distances, foliage density, background character detail, asset quality, and more. Texture resolutions are increased and environments gain new geometric detail. The list goes on!

To accelerate your performance when all of these features are enabled and maxed out, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s next-gen update also introduces support for NVIDIA DLSS 3, enabling GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers to multiply performance. All other GeForce RTX gamers can accelerate their frame rates with NVIDIA DLSS 2. And everyone can reduce system latency with NVIDIA Reflex.

Goddamn what a way to bring back this classic and all for free. PC users eatin' gooooood!

1440p/60 FPS with XBO pre-sets.

1440p/60 FPS with XBO pre-sets.

According to VGtech, its between 2400x1350 and 3456x1944. So yeah, ~1440p on average I guess.

Perhaps PS6 and next box consoles can come close to the 2022 PC version at this pace.

DF thinks the RT effects can be transformative. And this isn't even the full suite of effects lol

Together, the effects have a transformative effect on many scenes, especially those indoors or otherwise indirectly lit.

But limited to 30fps on consoles.

Perhaps in 2028

 

[Necrokiller]

Major sacrifices to reach 60fps.

And this is with FSR 2 support in both Quality and Perf modes.

Looks like a reshade preset

At least the performance mode retains Ultra equivalent settings and all the improvements in assets and shit.

 

[Necrokiller]

Dono consoles SLI mode me laga lo yaar, shaid angoor khatte na lage

Major sacrifices to reach 60fps.

Mein ney Tv settings mein Judder reduction max kar k khel lena hai Magar kheloun ga RT mode mein hee. GOAT deserves to be played in RT mode !!!

 

[Necrokiller]

Hot dayummm the PC version is gonna be something special all over again

 

[CerebralTiger]

Exodus was made with ray tracing in mind and yet the console versions are faaaaar from the Extreme graphic preset on PC. Its not like 4A Games incorporated it in 2033 or Last Light, which would be an equivalent comparison.

How's Fortnite for an equivaleeeent comparison, then? That's actually what I'd call transformative. This upgrade pales in comparison

 

[Necrokiller]

Anything that makes CerebralTiger a transfoooooormative believer in ray tracing is a win in my eyes

 

[Necrokiller]

Daaamn son. Feel bad for console folks who have to choose a far inferior game for 60fps on a new gen hardware.

And PC version pulling further ahead

 

[Chandoo]

Nice reshades

 

[Necrokiller]

Skellige ke angoor kaise hain?

 

[Necrokiller]

Hot DAMN the PC version is on a whole new level.
