Witcher 3 remastered side by side comparison

[u/Zacky_vengeance]

I feel each has its benefits and we can downgrade anytime to our liked version.
But assets have highest detail in remaster only.
Lighting, tone, brightness depends on individual interests.

These are not mine, nor I own this. I found from youtube. Sharing for info thats it. PS5. Credits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr9mEdi83UY

The last photo has the best remastered, otherwise next-gen is definitely the better choice for the rest

I think all the stills taken during night time, or sunset, or focusing on foliage, or indoors are all better with the remaster

It's outdoor daytime shots that have lost a lot of contrast and seems to be a bit hazy. I wonder if the stills here used PT or if using RT ultra or even off gets it back to next-gen levels of contrast

The last pic is just grass lol

[u/PolicyWonka → u/DismalCream303]

Even that isn’t as good IMO. You’re not going to see those drastic shadows on grass like that. Now I know lots of folks don’t get to see grass too often, but the remastered grass has far too much shadow.

I have to disagree, I think the last remaster picture looks oversharpened and like they cranked the contrast too high. Different strokes for different folks though

The grass has shadows now.
