Maybe it's something that was added in the complete/GOTY edition then.
Either way, yeah that sort of thing would definitely solve the problem I had back when the DLC originally came out.

Sorry, misunderstood you. Despite my shitposting in this thread as a joke, I do think it can be made to run acceptably and look decent, and I sincerely hope that it does! The port, if it is real, seems to be taking forever, which is a good sign.
Multiple cart game (either parts or one install cart and one game cart)? Pure speculation here.
Game is massive so im wondering what kind of magic will they have in place for it myself.
That Geralt-eating-popcorn gif is gonna see new life.
Just keep in mind that every miracle has its price. For NBA2K it was 29 gigs and heavy battery use.

I'm sure it will be compressed heavily. I can see them fitting it on a 32GB card (subsidized by Nintendo) with the DLC being download only.
My first sentence was mentioning the ports, but afterwards, I was talking about Switch exclusives. Their Switch exclusives almost always mention how "fill in the blank" has to be sacrificed to look nice and then they don't mention the advanced lighting, weather systems, PBR, or any other advanced features. It's weird.
I'm more waiting for it to be announced at $60 (all DLC included) and watching people cry and yell "Switch tax!" and about how it goes on sale for dirt cheap on other platforms all the time.
I remember back at E3 2016 (IIRC) when they had played the preview demo of Zelda Breath of the Wild and they were like "Yeah, there is some sign of god rays, but there is NO way these are actual volumetric lighting". And of course, BOTW has full volumetric lighting, simulating Mie scattering with various degrees of thickness of mist in the air, itself depending on the game's weather system.
And it literally takes a minute to see it hardly looks like what they put in their video.
Did they mention the volumetric lighting (and shading) in their analysis upon release? I don't remember it. It's like the Smash Ultimate video they did, where they said that it runs on the same engine as Smash Wii U (which was deconfirmed by Sakurai and proven to be false by the use of PBR) and then said that some of the aspects of Smash Wii U were more advanced than those in Smash Ultimate, which is just plain wrong. None of this is to say that they have it out for Nintendo, but they always seem to assume the worst case scenario for their games and then don't mention when those games far exceed their expectations.
Yeah, they did upon the final release. But not enough (IMO) relative to what BOTW does. BOTW has a fully modern rendering path on the Wii U. I think that's very remarkable.
I think they are very time constrained, and there is so much attention they can devote to each specific game. But quality suffers a lot as a result. DF Retro videos are usually a lot better than the regular ones.
>I own a switch so that makes my comment less stupid
thats not how it works.
Yeah these.kinds of posts hiding behind ownership of a consumer.product as carte blanche to troll should be left in the old place.
One can be down on something and not sound like that
I mean, it's hard to imagine, but I'd honestly be fascinated to see the technical break down - I kinda hope it happens just so we get to see what it would be like.
The gameplay engine is pretty much the same, but the graphics engine got an overhaul.
I read the article and it seems like it would need a switch pro with twice GPU, CPU, and bandwidth to not run like crap. It would take more than a Doom miracle
There's enough smoke here that I'm fairly certain there's a fire. But still don't get ahead of yourself. This is not confirmation.
Now if you'll excuse me I need to finish up Mother 3 and Pokemon Stars on my Switch before this Witcher 3 port comes out.
Good fucking luck. They're gonna have to redesign how this game looks, just setting everything to the lowest of the lows like with Doom and Wolf2 isn't going to cut it. That ultralow footage from Dgitial Foundry looked positively hideous. So much of the TW3 experience is made of how good looking the game is.
It will be an impressive thing if they get it working on Switch but I can imagine the resolution will take a big hit and be pretty low and blurry.
Hey, those didn't have teases from their main voice actors!
For various reasons .... ;D
To be fair those didn't have retail listings leak.
Also by all accounts Mother 3 has been ready to go for a while but NOA is (rightfully) nervous about how its more controversial aspects will be received today.
I didn't really "claim" anything tho, I responded to a question with the only source that attempted to answer it concretely and provided the name of the source so people could take it for what it's worth. I was more interested in the actual discussion than an "eww bad source derail." I guess it's just convenient that we seem to generally agree with the source's claim.
But if VGChartz is a banned site let me know, my bad!
I'm convinced 2K anything is rather unoptimized. there are larger-scoped games that run much better than them
*Notices what they think is a frame drop in a very specific area*

I really don't get how wondering how good or bad something is going to look before I buy it is bad.
But, please, keep whining.
Wondering how *good* OR bad something will be before you buy is perfectly fine.
But you only wondered how bad it will be. I'm not a native speaker regarding English, but i think there's certainly a difference between these two sentences.
E: Corrected some grammar mistarkes ... that first sentence was hard to read...

No, not at all. And I played the game on highest detail.
Why are some ppl so upset about this coming to switch? I don't get it...
why is being concerned for the port's quality "being upset its coming to Switch"?
Don't worry, not you. Just pointing out I didn't agree with your opinion that TW3 needs great graphics to be good. And I'm sure the switch will have the jank we've come to love, so it may be closer to TW3 experience than you'd think.
But why are you concerned? The graphics on a switch port seems like an odd thing to be concerned about.
It would make more sense to be concerned that this port won't sell and cd projekt won't port any other games to switch. But solely concerned about how it looks on switch when the game can be played with better graphics elsewhere? Yeah, I don't get that.
A switch version of the game that can't be played while docked ? Makes sense.
