Everything consistent with the original CDPR artistic vision.

Specially customized materials for all reworked stuff.

Better objects LODs ( Level of Detail), rendering distance of some objects are slightly increased.

High quality meshes with a lot of details, a lot of them are created from scratch, good optimization is preserved.

Very high quality accurate normal maps, a lot of them is baked from high poly meshes, these normals combined with detail normalmaps giving amazing look with almost any performance hit!.

Very high quality detailed textures with great sharpness and performance, without any unnecessary VRAM losses (no unnecessary big textures for small stuff).

The game looks much prettier and on par with the 20’s standards for a “good looking game”, but it retains all of the charm from CD Projekt Red’s game developers and designers. I am pleased to confirm that this has remained true for all versions, including the latest one. It’s available on nexusmods.Īs the description of the mod on Nexusmods says: “ This project aims to improve the graphics by reworking models and textures to better quality preserving the original style“. I personally started using it around its version 4. The author of the mod, Halk_Hogan PL, has been working on this project for years. It does not modify CD Projekt Red’s gameplay style, design or any other feature of the game. The MOD that I installed and want to talk about is called “HD Reworked”.

The world of The Witcher is described in great details in the books and the TV show does it justice by showing it exactly as it should – dirty and ugly, but at the same time stunningly gorgeous.

Since I consider everything else to be 99% perfect with the game, the only correction I personally needed for my next playthrough(s) in 2020 after a year away from it – a graphics boost. If you have been playing lately some of the more beautifully-looking titles in the past couple of years, you might think The Witcher 3 did not age well. Now, after Netflix has released the first season of The Witcher TV Show, the video games get a fresh boost of interest from both returning veterans and new players looking to try out this so highly prized title. This Role-Playing game is a true masterpiece and beats any competition from years past and future in my own eyes.īack in the Summer of 2015 when I first started playing The Witcher 3 I thought it looked stunningly amazing.

I think there is no point discussing The Witcher 3’s narrative and story elements.
