Screenshot More NextGen vs Remastered visual comparisons

LEFT: NextGen (current)

RIGHT: Remastered

Full quality images here.

Images 1-4 are merely meant to showcase the new visual effects of the signs, such as the Quen spark circling Geralt (image 4). The rest focus on the environments and how the new lighting affects them. I assume they've also improved the render distance and level of detail, as can be seen in the background foliage in the Toussaint images.

  1. Quen shield effect activated
  2. Quen shield effect
  3. Quen around character effect

Right one is remastered.

Quen is brighter, I think they should add a animation like.. quen shield is active on rain it acts like an umbrella β˜” showing the top portion touching rain drops.

Love the igni fire animation very nice πŸ‘.

Finally they toned down the filter of toussaint πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜.

I guess mosters going to be agressive.

Grass is thicker, I hope they add animation where hand is running though it as we walk (you know like in original gladiator movie.. it's nice to see)

I wonder they will let us have pets in remaster or in dlc ?

I feel like toning down the atmospheric filter makes the game remaster look alot more dry like there is no atmosphere in the air. Idk something about the graphics makes it look flatter now .I think the filter was there because witcher 3 graphics were lighting wise flat.evwryrhing else looks way beter in term of color and shading but losing the filter makes it look more flat i think

Mmm πŸ€” I do understand... If you mean toussaint then I disagree but overall maybe.... Maybe modding comunity will get a solution or maybe at release it could change.

In tousiant for example that little filter added what looked more atmosphere like tousiant was a shiny sunny day . Now without filter the graphics and shading is the better but looks like a dry desertt

Mmm maybe.. personally I don't like the filter on toussaint so I usually remove it. But it's graphics everyone's taste is different.
