Forums - Gaming Discussion - Witcher 3 Xbox One and PS4 Compared After Patch

Sounds like a lot of framerate issues on PS4. Interesting that consoles are already struggling less than 2 years into the generation.

but it's their first current gen game and it's a multiplatform.  I believe they have done a good job considering time and budget constraints.

I think the complain from the comunity was that there isnt a significat difference between mid and ultra specs but that could also be because that was a youtube video.



1080p is killing game performance, devs, stahp that. Fucking please.



I'm now filled with determination.

Nope - I've seen the screenshots and so many fans are wearing tinted glasses when they come to look at the Witcher 3. To put it technical spin on it, what dx11 features do you think help make the game look good?

So youve seen screenshots and that somehow make you an expert on how the game looks ? Im playing the game here, Ive finished DAI like 1 month ago, Witcher 3 looks far superior to DAI. What makes the game look good is that it does look good Im not concerned with the technical aspects of it, it looks way better than DAI (and I liek DAIs look quite a bit), maybe its based on pure artistry of the dev team (art direction, atention to details, character design etc) and not raw graphical power, I franckly dont care what Im concerned with is the end result, and its amazing1.

Yes, I've seen images and that does surfice as there is no loss of quality on them. If you think that the vegetation obejects are up to par with games of this generation then you are greatly deluded.

Graphics are 100% technical. Both games aqre going for realism so other asthetics are negligible. Also saying it's good 'cause it's good is utterly useless and not even an argument. You clearly are one of those people who can't explain why they like something, most likely because you would like what ever was given to you in a box which had "Witcher 3" printed onto it.

How a game looks, like everything else in a game, is combination of factors, one of wich is how many polygons you can stick in your image and all the technology that goes on crafting the image itself, however stuf like art direction, scenary build, character designs also contribute a lot to graphics. Ive played hundreds of games where the technical aspects of theyre graphics are far superior to Uncharted 2/3 that looks like crap compared to both those games due to bad art direction, terrible scenary build and lack of details where it matters for exemple. I seriously dont know and dont care about the technical aspects of any games graphics, all I care about is how they use thhose assets to craft images that are pleasant to look at and that imerse you on the gameplay and the Witcher nailed that, better than DAI, quite a bit better actualy.

 

You do not know what youre talking about thats final, you saw some images watched some badly compressed youtube video and think that gives you any idea how this game looks in action when it obviously doesnt. You have an agenda here wich is to degrade the game so Ill leave it to it, theres no point arguing here, the way you word your comments makes me feel you have some sort of hate towards this series and you just want to let it out, so you lached on graphics wich seens to be what everyone laches on nowadays. And since its clear you dont want to play this game why do you even botter if it looks awesome or like shit.

It was good to read the details but unfortunately the masses will just take away: 1080p >>>>>>> 900.

lol. Tis our gen.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Yet the debate is about graphics. You just openly admitted to not being able to contribute anything to this debate and accuse me of knowing nothing regardless of my technical background in this field. Smooth.

I understand your point, but disagree. The aesthetics are nothing special with the Witcher series. It has always aimed for realism and is set in a medieval era. It has no specific style (not like WoW, Boderlands etc) and just aims to look good. The Witcher 3 is dire for what can be achieved today.

To put it in short, what games are you comparing the Witcher 3 too?

Here's the PS4/XB1 analysis: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-witcher-3-wild-hunt-performance-analysis

XB1 with unlocked framerate and PS4 with drops.

I think they should have locked the XB1 version, too and it would have been better for the PS4 version to have a dynamic buffer like the XB1 version. Stable 30 FPS with PS4 mostly at 1080p and XB1 mostly at 900p would be possible.


Apartently the PS4 drops, as mild as they are, are being patched out.  Its a bug.  No word on the Xbox One version and the screen judder but the idea is that they will cap it to stop the judder.

Higher fps on the Xbox, it handles lag spikes abit better, however it has more sutter than the PS4 version.

Looks to be smoother (much less stuttering), however has occassional lag spikes that are abit worse than the xbox version.

 

"Apartently the PS4 drops, as mild as they are, are being patched out.  Its a bug."

 

O_O impressive if true.

Pretty much PS4 > Xbox One for Witcher 3 then.

 

*edit: noticed the PS4 has pop in issues, that arnt in the xbox version. Bug or not? (here there just slow to load)

*edit2: apparntly the xbox has some weird pop in issues as well... differnt to the ps4 version though (here they load, and then unload, and reload)

 (so you ll see stuff like houses pop in, dissapear, then pop back in, while in plain view of where your looking)

In fairness, the difference between the PC's medium and ultra presets are surprisingly small, even without YT's compression.

 

I expect the difference is more significant in person, but i haven't had a chance to play TW3 yet.


they just changed the text to ultra
