What are the odds that you either can't turn off Hairworks or it'll be a lot harder to do so, you think?

Why would you want to turn it off? Modern tesselation should be able to handle it with zero degradation in performance.

Either they foked up with the logos or they made the fire/embers way worse on the next-gen 😀

I think they have them backwards really.
There's no light shining through the windows either.

They do have them completely backwards. I recognize textures from Halk's HD Retexture project, which was core to this so-called upgrade on the GOTY side. How stupid does one have to be, sheesh.

This is not an official comparison. If you watch the official trailer for the Next Gen Update, it looks way better. Maybe is backwards in some shots and maybe the GOTY side HAS the HD Retexture Project installed (description says "captured on PC at highest possible settings in 4K"). Other option is that the "Next Gen" part is not the final version (it says "work in progress in some scenes).

Can someone compare RESHADE RTGI on GOTY edition vs RT enabled ON? and performance difference?
https://forums.guru3d.com/data/avatars/m/250/250418.jpg
Personally not impressed. I had hope to see a difference, but we'll probably see a difference in less performance with same hardware.

Cause geralts hair looks better with it turned off.

That was actually ever the only reason I turn it off, but some hairstyles looked better with it on.

Is this downgrade?

Ripping videos off YouTube isn't the best to compare image quality. An HD Blu-ray upscaled will often look better than 4K from a streaming service.

I didn't question your reply, I just disagreed with your point on the lighting and/or change of art direction. I also disagree with the people asking for color correction here. I think when games are remastered they should stick to the original vision/direction and just subtly improve graphics. I don't see a big improvement in shaders quality/textures with this, so that's a miss - but I think the lighting looks better from what I've seen. Also isn't most of this taken from console?

Even if it's from a console they successfully made most textures look worse unless they are comparing maxed out goty on PC to performance mode on series x. Else i think something is a miss. Also I feel the lightning at the source is overblown while it does light up the scene better.

Tbh that is true but it won't make in same video other textures stay sharp af while other looks like it's 5*5 res

Some things will be better, some will be worse. Updates like this are never 100% improvement across the board. Projects like this always get outsourced to B teams or even low skill porting companies in poor countries. Like this scene for example. They AI upscaled textures that look slightly better (yay, I suppose) and then they sucked out all the atmosphere from this scene. I mean how low skill you have to be without any attention to detail to notice that you just changed the scene so dramatically that it feels nothing like it did before? I'm very worried about this, I get GTA trilogy remaster PTSD when looking at some of these comparisons. https://i.imgur.com/vLSdJSg.png https://i.imgur.com/9yBdKHG.png

Well... I don't know.. Is the PC version UPDATE better hard to see or say I played Witcher III at 1080p now I have a badass system and a 4K monitor. I just want to run the game when the update download is available for PC

I`m not a big fan of W3 but i have to give my regards to CDR for continuing to support old games like this, it`s very cool from them.
OMGS Are you allowed to write that? Out loud.....? I too I'm not a fan... but I played loads but never finished it
