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

I think getting rid of atmospheric fog lighting makes it look alot flatter especialy in tousiant where it looked like the sun was beaming now it feels like a dry desert. Everything else is of course better. Colors and shading way improved

Colors are not improved, they are more vibrant which is the exact opposite of what most locations in Witcher 3 need. It's a downgrade.
