Sorry, I meant PS5.
The fighting game portion of it looks good.
The krypt looks terrible. I'm sorry, it just does. Extremely poor draw distance, very low resolution, low framerate. It legit looks bad.

inXile 2017:
And then they became Switch developers later that year. Then Wasteland 2 came to the platform in 2018 along with teases of Torment.
Things change. Money talks.
They were talking about Torment not Wasteland 2.
And, are you really comparing an open world RPG to a top down one? Come on
Honestly, you might as well ask for RDR2 as well.
There is some stuff switch can do well. Fighters, racing games, indies, stuff like that.
Open world games with large draw distance? I haven't really seen a third party do it well.
If Witcher 3 was a PS3 game, ok then, I could maybe see it.
But a PS4 game? I don't think so. Saints Row 3 doesn't even look that much better than the Xbox 360 version.

Thanks for the tieba thread. I saw in another thread that the game on PS4 is around 40GB, so 64GB memory card is the lowest requirement.
There is also a chat screenshot in the same thread with one of the sellers on taobao. The customer support said the source is from upstream.
And of course one person joked about RDR2 lol.
Looks like the same site from the link you provided earlier. That link is from their weibo account and this is from their app.I think I found an un-cropped image, if anyone recognizes the site/app:
my research continues
Just a minor tidbit, this site is notorious as it is the go-to place for hostile Sony fanboys.

Wow can't imagine this being anything other than terrible. Maybe they should start with 1 or 2.
not familiar with them but was going to say, looks sketch af. not something i'd take seriously but others can have at it i guess
I love my Switch but It wouldn't be able to run it at all, the biggest limitation are CPU and RAM, which in an open world like the Witcher 3 are heavily used. And even if somehow they would manage to make it happen it would run so poorly in frame rate, resolution, loading times and texture quality that it would make no sense to play such a masterpiece in that version instead of PC
how is a secondary mode like the krypt an example of how another game can run on it Lol. it's clearly a low effort part.
I would say the krypt is probably a big part of it, especially the developer seeing as where most of the unlocks come from.
Are you saying the game was low effort? Strange that they would ignore a good chunk of that game.
Dunno, everyone said it was a good port.

That's weird. I have no problem finding those listings even now.Is that just me or there's nothing you can find with "巫师3ns"?
More of that, can't even find anything at sellers pages which was mentioned at the screenshot.

Can you please provide link to any of these item pages? I've even tried to use chinese VPN at this moment but still zero results here except that one with vinyl stickers.
I bring it up cos the website version had a generic controller icon whereas this one has the Witcher logo, so I was a little confused if it was the same thing.
We should find out soon enough how legit it is, at least.
Right.
Not that this rumor is necessarily true, but I could see a scenario where this game works on OG Switch like ARK, while on Switch Plus/Pro/whatever it works reasonably enough for a purchase by most (so with frame drops here and there but playable).
I love Witcher 3 but even on Pro that game has noticeable frame drops. Can't imagine how would it perform on Switch.
I also want to be careful as Witcher 3, portable on Switch would be a dream port. But we had two independent retailer rumours now, are close to E3 and the French retailer also leaked AC3 at the same time which came out last week.
Slight graphical downgrades don't matter, if they could pull this one off decently (i.e. without loss of immersion) it could sell millions. Millions of people bought the Switch at launch for nothing but the other mature open-world game of the decade, BotW.
I'm a long-term fan of RPGs and open-world / exploration titles like (especially) Zelda and this is by far the only truly interesting title for me in the PS4 / Xbox lineup that had seen no true chance of porting so far. Let's see whether this is true.

I wholeheartedly agree mate. I have a high tolerance for graphical downgrades, probably because I've been playing games for 30 years now. While I can spot the differences between Doom Switch and Doom on a 1080Ti, I do not find that the former is fundamentally a different experience once I start playing. And in that regard, portability is to me worth it in any case. Witcher 3 at low settings and 25-30fps would be perfectly acceptable to me.
I'd dig it if they could actually pull it off in a way that it actually resembles the game we know, but something tells me it's a stream game like AC:O and RE7. Witcher 3 actually was fairly well received in Japan (thus why Geralt's made so many guest appearances in Japanese games these days) so I could actually see them doing that for Japan only on the streaming thing.
Lol it will look better than this, come on now.
I could probably live with a game that looks like this. I imagine they could even get sharper textures if they optimize the shit out of it.

This is the one at the top left corner. Don't expect anything inside these listings as product pages are all customization by different sellers, and most of them only contains advertisements of their shops.
A loss of face animation details would be too much though. One thing outstanding about TW3 is the love for the characters you see in all the beautiful face details..
But let's patiently wait for E3 then..?
While I do not like leaks in general, that game has been rumored so much that I wouldn't mind if someone in the know gave us an insight on whether or not it's happening.
if Ark is anything to go by, then Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 will be something else on the Switch.
