I wish we could get an update like this for RDR2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance.

Performance mode is definitely the best option here

Performance mode looking like a banger! Also nice music as always my man, thanks for the hard work.

Great content as always man! Quick suggestion: timestamps separating sections like "vegetation", "water", etc. would be a nice addition.

Performance mode looks really good! I'm glad, because I would rather have 60fps than ray tracing. That draw distance is really nice too.

was waiting for you to upload this. simply cannot wait for this 🙏🙏🙏

Parabéns mais uma vez por seu incrível trabalho!

Probably need to optimize the RT mode a bit more. Great showing for the performance mode though especially with VRR!

Love your videos. Thanks for effort you put in to making these videos.

1:37 is a day and night difference. These were the parts of TW3 that really showed its age and I'm happy it was addressed

I‘m glad i waited for the update to release before playing it again.. Looks like a pretty awesome remaster.

I play this game on Nintendo Switch and now im going to play it again on Xbox series X... this will blow me up

Una obra maestra que jugaré en modo performance 😎👌🏻

Thanks for this! Will there be a High on Life comparison? 🤩

Funny, the same thing happened with cyberpunk in mode 30fps With ray tracing, the image was a little blurry, but in performance mode. In 60fps, without ray tracing, the image is cleaner and clearer. Here was the same thing.

great! although I must point out that the water looks better in performance mode, in ray tracing mode the water looks like a mirror.

The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt is definitely my favourite game of all time... can't wait for this update...it's honestly look amazing 👌🏻💯

Been waiting for this one!

Hey Guys! Which mode do you think has higher crowd density? It seems to me that RT mode, but couldn't find any info that would confirm that. Do you know about this stuff?

This game is a masterpiece both on the next gen and on the old gen

This might not be a remaster per se but this is definitely an upgrade from What it used to look like The original PS4 version was a very good looking game but the PS5 version is making it look even better The vegetation and the lighting just looks beautiful with the water effects It just looks more natural. I can't wait to dive back in To this masterpiece.

Best comparison till date! Well done.

Enjoyed this great game on PS4. Will enjoy it again on PS5 Performance Mode. Sadly my PC blew up recently will rebuild it soon

Performance mode it is, not a single doubt. It's a match for RT mode with the exception of the GI/RT, runs way better and much sharper due to the increase in resolution.

Are there no upscaling used in the RT mode? 1440p seems too low. Usually RT modes has higher resolution than performance modes on PS5

The reflections in the "PS5 performance" actually seems more natural to me, it keeps the little waves, doesn't smooth out so much the water surface. Os reflexos no modo "PS5 performance" na verdade me parecem mais naturais, ele mantém as pequenas ondas, não suaviza tanto a superfície da água.

Oh man the vegetation just looks so much better now.. Huge change

Esse jogo está na minha biblioteca desde 2015 esperando para ser jogado como deve ser: 60FPS. Finalmente!

Стоило бы показать более подробное сравнение текстур

Espectacular. Gracias!!

I think Performance mode on PS5 is the best Option, since Ray-tracing mode doesn't really make a big difference here and it kinda looked bugged too, because I saw some shadows stuttering for example. I just wonder what exactly the Old Console Generation recieve from this update though..

I see they've cut down on the wind effects...🤔

Performance mode is a W for me. Not a huge visual difference comparing to RT but higher res and frame rate

Ahora con la actualización veo que los árboles y la hierba... bueno ese efecto de viento se quitó?...

Were you playing the release version of the game technically? Wondering if they might make some tweaks for performance for the release version.

There's just something I love about the default bright whiteness of Geralts hair without ray tracing turned on. I like the day time better without ray tracing, but the night time better with ray tracing. It's weird. On my PC I'm going to be playing with all the new graphics settings except for ray tracing. That's my personal best looking way of playing. I like the old water better too despite it being technically less realistic looking; it's really a part of the original Witcher 3 vibe I guess.

Very nice! Looking forward to play!

Definitely playing this in RT mode. Interiors look so good with RT enabled.

@4:55 - wow, what a difference in the distant Vegetation.

Performance mode is the way to go

I don’t need an excuse to play this masterpiece again. But they’ve given me a very good one indeed! Can’t wait. Might go for the PS5 version if they’ve done a nice job on the DualSense…

A lot of people concentrate on the wrong things .... For instance with mesh upgrades that are never mentioned but to me stick out like a sore thumb. Look at the opening scene on the ship and pay close attention to the 4 round balls ..... In the PS4 versions they are actually 6 and 8 sided while in the PS5 upgrade they are truly round. The fact those are a relatively small detail gives me a lot of hope the meshes on more prominent models are also upgraded, for instance bald heads and bare shoulders looking actually round and not a series of straight lines with small angles In many ways the Performance Mode looks better, despite all the hype a couple of years ago these consoles just don't have the power to do proper Ray Tracing.

Amazing!! Clear choice to go w performance mode!

I'm definitely excited about this considering I've only played it on the base ps4. Playing it on ps5 so either mode is going to be an upgrade

I've played this game on many different systems. Midrange PC from 2015 (actually came with my GTX960, Same PC but with an RX480. OG xbox one. Xbox one X Nintendo Switch And Series X (not with this patch... yet) And a high-end ish, gaming desktop I built a few months ago. Can't wait to try this new patch on Series X and my new PC.

Why are the ripple effects removed from the ps5 version?

This update It's also available for the standard version of the game. Esta actualización también esta disponible para la versión estandar del juego.

Gran video. También me gustó mucho la música que elegiste.

I enjoyed it a lot on base PS4. Being in cities really hits the performance but I think maybe RT mode could be improved more, don't know which sacrifices devs could do to get stable 30fps

Im noticing they have defo toned down the wind indoors, that was all i wanted. The update looks beautiful though, guess im replaying this over xmas.

PS5 Performance Mode🙌

Este juego ya era increble en su momento

Is the next gen version a patch or a separate app on Series X ? Because if the framerate actually drops in Novigrad on next gen version, I'd like to keep access to the Xbox One X version to get a silky smooth 60fps.

So performance mode has a higher pixel count than ray tracing mode, very interesting.

Es mi imaginación o en esta actualización next gen los árboles casi ya no se mueven como en la anterior generación?

Not sure if RT is worth both the frame rate hit AND the resolution hit tbh. Might have used that mode if it was one or the other

I'm looking forward to seeing it on Xbox series s, bring the video today?

4:43 now that's what i call a big difference 6:21 anyone else think it actually looks a bit worse missing that transparent blue hue around the edges.

Am I the only one who thinks it's strange how Cyberpunk 2077 (a much more demanding and recent game than The Witcher 3) managed to have a higher or equal resolution in both modes?

Damn, the changes are quite substantial for a remaster. Like the vegetation and forest bits blew my mind.

I can't wait for this to come out!!!!

Is the camera angle option only available for ps5? Im on ps4 pro and downloaded the update and i can't change the perspective to be closer to geralt

i wish they kept more of the wavy/stormy water of the original...i also liked the stronger winds/moving foliage of the original made the world appear more alive, although those are sadly things gamers used to complain about and likely part of the reason they changed it

Lo jugaré por primera vez en ps5. Lo voy a gozar como no lo puedes imaginar

Sería interesante ver una comparativa de la versión Next - gen con el mod HDReworked

I really don't like the reflections on the water in Ray-Tracing mode. Everything looks low resolution and blurry, its harder to see the waves, and there's slight blue lines where the water interacts with the ground, not found in pPerformance mode. So for Ray-Tracing, it seems you get blurrier water, darker shadows, lower resolution, and an unsteady 30fps. In comparison, Performance mode gets you nicer water but screenspaced and lighter shadows, for a higher resolution and 60fps. Totally worth it.

el modo ray tracing esta mas para que playstation diga "tenemos ray tracing", que para otra cosa sinceramente, ufff man tremenda la version performance ese si que es un salto de calidad

Indicas que el update es para la version GOTY ¿Para la version normal del juego no sale? Como sabeis no comparte el mismo Save...

Grass looks better in RT mode. It seems like RT mode add more shadows for grass, but on performance the grass looks flat

Looking forward the PC version. That one looks more promising

Am I the only one noticing there’s a lot less wind on the trees & bushes in the next gen version?

They murdered the wind effects!

The best part is that RU-vid don’t do justice of what you see in your tv so that means that if we see some changes here we’re definitely going to notice it even more when we actually play the game again

How next gen looks on lowest settings in 720p? Nice to know for portable pc devices or steam deck.

Performance mode for the win

Cuanto ocupa de espacio el juego en PS5 ? Recuerdo que en PS4 usaba como 40gb jaj una locura teniendo en cuenta todo el contenido que tiene.

The differences really are just night and day, I wish more remasters would be like this, now adays its mostly just upscaling the resolution and maybe a more stable frame rate and then oushing the game out at full price again.

The Witcher 3 siempre fue un juego espectacular en el apartado gráfico y artístico pero por algún motivo siempre me mareaba un poco al jugarlo, no sé exactamente qué tenía pero se me hacía incómodo a la vista en old-gen, cosa que parece que se soluciona en next-gen así que es un gran momento para darle la oportunidad.

What's the music in the background? I must know!!

Is the XSS sub 1080p at 60fps🙏

The vegetation upgrade is huge

That flute instrumental is so damn dope 😎👍

Music is on point as usual.

Почему картинка на режиме "Производительность", выглядит слишком осветленной?

No se si soy yo pero parece que el agua perdió física y los árboles ya no se mueven tanto, claramente no era realista pero le daba una sensación única cuando se exploraba.

Does the perfomance mode surely have better resolution than the rt mode?

What's the background music's name ? cuw it's soo good

How to transfer save from ps4 to ps5. I can't find an answer anywhere.

What about NPC density? I believe that on console was lower than on PC. Thanks

MUSIC NAME PLS , SHAZAM CAN NOT FIND

Ray-Tracing Mode on PS5 makes water flat?

At 6:00 I notice the shadows are no longer animated and just sit static.

why did they lessen the hair movement in the newer ports?

great comparison and nice music

Please what is the name of music ?

The colors look a bit different with Ray-Tracing turned on. But i stil prefere 60FPS mode.

Is it just me or do the water textures look flat on the ps5 rt mode?

How dynamic res works? "2560x1440p common 1188p" is 1188p upscaled to 1440p? The variable res is always upscaled to 1440 in Ray Tracing Mode? And in Performance Mode 1548p is upscaled to 2160p? And why RT Mode looks like having a better resolution than PS4 Pro's resolution if in the end PS4 Pro's has more pixels than RT Mode?

ray traciong mode looks beatiful only way to play
