Quote from the summary:
"Overall, CD Projekt Red's legacy as a developer is deeply entrenched in PC, and to a great extent it shows in this version's extras. Everything from hair physics to broader draw distances make it a cut above console - a sharper, richer-looking release that also benefits from superior textures and effects. The ability to hit and hold 60fps is, to our minds, the PC's best advantage though. Even with its camera stutters, combat is far more responsive than the console's circa-30fps, and on limited GPUs we'd gladly give up the above visual extras up for it."

Maybe this will help with all those saying that its the exact same as PS4

this won't help them. They don't rage because there's reason to do. But because the love to troll and get a reason to "not pay to play the game".

Purely in visual terms, PS4 and Xbox One miss out on PC's ultra-grade settings in several areas, but the game still looks complete on each. At its core, REDengine 3 drives a high level of foliage detail on console - perhaps the greatest density of plant-life since the original Crysis, rendering trees in at a surprisingly long range. Factoring in time of day, weather systems and rolling clouds, The Witcher 3's physically-based lighting model also impresses, with shadows spread dynamically from each swaying branch, and light shafts flitting between each leaf. In the right light, the final result helps even the bleakest points in No Man's Land's marshes to achieve a great sense of atmosphere.

And people were harping on how Witcher 3 PC was going to look exactly like its console counterparts.

PC gamers and console gamers know that top end PC's can far outstrip consoles in terms of performace and everything, thats a no brainer. Only fools would believe otherwise and they are pretty of them roaming the internet.

But it all comes down to the deveoplers to make the PC version look and perform better, but sadly most devs don't make PC versions of games stand out from the crowd. They do applie better textures and other DX features but these are mostly minor

(I believe) the last game too make full use of a PC graphics power was Crysis back in 2007 and we all know how gamers reacted to that game back them (bugs, broken, can't run game, bad FPS etc), tons of hate.

Agreed. never seem a game who do better at this than W3.

You can feel it's noon or dusk, that rain is coming, the slow chaging of the weather.. it's really well done.

I currently own 2 versions of the game, PC for me and Xbox One ver so my wife can play at the same time. It looks great on console and she has no complaints, so its not like I wanted to put down the console ver, its just some of the people on here were spreading blatant misinformation/lies.
This game isn't great because of its graphics, its great because its gameplay/story/scale. But its nice to have good looking visuals also. It would have been nice to be playing the ver from that trailer 2 years ago but honestly most including myself wouldn't have the gpu power to get there
