At some point in development the artstyle was changed for one thing, CD Projekt decided to go for less realism and more art. However, it's clear that there was a downgrade. I get the feeling that it's because 8th gen consoles weren't as powerful as CD Projekt was expecting, and they had already committed themselves to making console versions and didn't want to go back on that commitment. That was rumored to be the reason for the Watch Dogs downgrade as well. There was a report that suggested that Ubisoft was hoping for about 2400-2600 gflops for 8th gen consoles, but in the end Xbox One is 1300 gflops and PS4 is 1800 gflops.

Witcher 3 still looks gorgeous though, so frankly I don't really care about the downgrade. It's still one of the top 5 games so far this generation graphically imo.

Exactly how I feel.
