this games attention to detail is ridiculous, when using the fire spell i love how sprinkles of fire land on the grass! and how a ground pound is done and the dead bodies move aswell etc

Surprised it looks this good TBH.
Shadow pop in and 30fps being the real obvious concessions here. Otherwise looks great on PS4.

I noticed a decent amount of pop in at times (shadows and objects) with the PC videos as well, of course those were running at 60 fps but it looks like pop in is going to be part of the game no matter which version you get.
 
Lol, it really feels like they are marketing a PC game, that oh by the way is also coming to consoles. I don't know, whether we end up getting Xbox footage or not, I may cancel my preorder next week. My hype level has dropped considerably, partly because of the completely unnecessary hoopla around console footage, and partly because I've recently been having a great time playing through my 360 backlog and don't really need a new game right now.

Did you play witcher 2?
 
Yeah I got it when it was $10, and then it was free lol. But I played 30 minutes or so, was pretty good. If I cancel my preorder I will definitely play it.

Yeah i really liked it too. A really cool way to get into the game with different parts in gameplay. Exploring and fighting, stealth/sneaking around etc.

They talked about how they are using technologies that dynamically scales tessellation to eliminate pop in. It may just not be in the builds they have used for demoing PC. If it really does turn out to be terrible pops in after launch, then at least mods will fix it with uber draw distance mods!
 
Not surprising it was the PC build given the things I mentioned before, plus it just made sense for them to show it since it's likely the best representation of what they wanted the game to look like. I'm guessing they aren't showing the X1 version because it either needs more work than the other versions still OR because it's the "least" impressive looking version of the game simply because of the lower resolution. I'm sure it's going to be a great looking game no matter which platform you play it on but the fact is the X1 version will technically be inferior to the other versions even if only slightly.
 
Now I'm even suspicious of why they're hiding the X1 version.

Yeah finally decided I'm canceling my preorder. The way they are handling the consoles is just soooo shady I don't want to support that. It would be awesome if most people did the same and they had to rely on PC sales. Lol! I guarantee their marketing strategy would change.
 
^^It being 900p is a automatic worse looking version unless it uses special dx 12 effects.... oops that's right it doesn't.
Them not showing it (with a marketing deal to boot) shows lack of confidence in the Xbox One version being a good representative of the game... no matter how ya spin it.

That all said...I still think it will look good though

They handled the PS4 version right footage is available
 
Yeah, I would skip the console versions if I were you guys (that are worried about graphics and fps).....

That's true. It just wasnt a ton of footage and they made everyone wait until 2 weeks from release to show it. And then wasn't there a week where they were telling everyone it's coming but it wasn't ready yet? Just shady.

Probably wasn't really Gold on consoles like they claimed.
 
With most games needing huge day one patches it's hard to even know what they really mean by "going gold" anymore. I believe one of the devs said on twitter that they have a day one patch for this game but not because they need it, only because they want the game to be the best it can be when we play it. That sounds like some double talk to me lol but we'll see.
