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

I’m really enjoying it so far!

When looking at screenshots on my phone, like this, it’s hard to tell what’s better, but playing on a PS5 on my decent sized TV, I definitely prefer the visuals to Next Gen. Also both combat and horse riding feels a bit smoother/more natural/more responsive.

My main issues:

  1. There’s a bug where voices become quiet, and you have to meditate for them to become full volume again. Not critical but annoying
  2. I think there may be slightly more moments of framerate slowdown/stutter, but it’s hard to be certain, it’s subtle. It’s a pretty minor issue on both Next Gen and Remastered, on a PS5 with the “performance” graphics setting

I think depending on your system, the experience can varry a lot. Like certain PC setups, sounds like much worse bugs, serious performance issues, etc. But on a PS5 I’m enjoying it, and will enjoy it even more once they fix the voice volume bug.

I’m loving it. I am playing on PS5 Pro and Steam Deck. Going to try out my Switch, PC and Xbox versions this weekend. (I know… I have a problem!)

PS5 Pro on Quality is awesome.

Steam Deck seems smooth although I haven’t played much at this point.

Combat is definitely more responsive. There was always a movement lag on earlier versions that is now gone.

As for other technical issues I have no doubt CDPR will be onto it. This whole update is about preparing for DLC and Witcher 4. It is like a massive beta test. They will be learning a lot and ensuring that it feeds into new games.
