Some of this is definitely a change in art design. The 2013 screen is washed out with a lot of bloom but looks more gritty. The gif you posted shows no self shadows for the decorators in the foliage on the left. IMO these updates bring it "technically" beyond The Sword of Destiny trailer in some regards. We'll likely never get the water cresting effects. The inclusion of Ray Traced GI makes it contrast more naturally, in the pre-downgrade and release versions, things in shadow are just "black" which isn't really how things look in sunlight.I guess its safe to say they wont be giving us the pre-downgraded graphics.

This looks completely underwhelming. It took them years to put this out? And they even had to kick out the first developer group who worked on it?
Glad I didn’t wait to play it, as I thought about doing here:

Great game. Hope others pick it up due to this update. You’ll love it.

Let's at least hope the 60fps mode is solid, that's really all I want (yes, I know Xbox already had that, PS5 didn't).

The difference is obvious just by looking at clouds and the tree, but sure.
There's a difference, but is it one worth giving up half the framerate for (on console)? Will have to see more direct comparisons, but I doubt it.

Maybe not but it's good to have options.

I'm not sure more foliage is always better. For example in the middle of the road there, I think the original looks more natural. Wagons would have chopped off those tall things.
But overall it does look better. Not sure how much better though.

Lighting and Foliage has been improved, along wit textures and draw distance.
As someone who played the game on PS4, the upgrade on PS5 is a huge jump especially when we factor in 60 FPS and the reduced load times.

Change too much and people will complain it doesn't have the same vibe/atmosphere.
And if anything, for console players stuck at PS4/XONE level of settings it is a huge graphical jump.

Not a remaster.
Looks good. How does it run?
Good 90-120 depends on hairwork setting, if u turn that off which a lot of people prefer its ~140.

That’s why I like remasters that just do higher res and fps. Only update.
As for remakes, I find it way more interesting to do stuff like re2 rather than just new graphics.

What GPU?

3080 its ultra wide 3440x1440, at night time with torches fps goes down a bit because the fire improvement mod with lots of light points and draw distance will hit the hardware hard but still 70+ at that point, specifically tuned it to that point. As u can pretty much overdo everything and murder your performance without effort.

More like they made a vertical slice with baked lighting vs dynamic lighting on the scale of an open world.

How have they access to the next gen version? Is it really the console update or are they comparing console with PC and calling it next gen? Honest doubt, not trolling.

I don’t care if it’s free. I would happily pay for better upgrade.
I mean if there is no quality 60 mode.. it better really looks good. Because at this point it would be better to leave it as it was and just do 4k60

I made a big list of changes and if those are not impressive I don't know what is.
I haven't seen a "next-gen" patch so extensive, free or not.

Me looking for actual differences when I stick this on my Ps5
But hey, it’s free, so even tiny stuff is something for anyone who hasn’t already put 150 hours in like me.

All that wait for a video that looked exactly like the original game.. fer fucks sakes, gonna need to see a proper side by side, was definitely hoping for a bigger upgrade visually
I tried most lighting mod on PC and at the end I had come back to vanilla .
In most scene they look so much better than vanilla , but all lighting mod have problem with either interior , cave ,rain, or night . Sometime they look worse than vanilla and I hate the trend of all modder make night so fcking dark that its almost unplayable .
As you can see here at 1:21 , and 1:55.

This might be the dumbest attempt at a rebuttal/comeback I've seen since Happussy had a meltdown the other day.
But sure, keep crying about absolutely everything.

Uhh... the upgrades are actually super impressive, even in this compressed video:
This isn't just a "bump up the resolution and allow for higher framerates" update. They've clearly redone the lighting system and created new textures on a ton of assets. I'm impressed and I really look forward to a more thorough analysis from Digital Foundry or the like.
It's from the CDPR next-gen update stream here:

You're just going to give yourself an aneurysm trying to make sense of blatant troll logic lol
Its just happen in these scene that the shadows doesnt block the characters my dude .
I can do this too .See the original look better because better lighting redone something something/s

Thats why I hate Reshade/ENB or whatever mods.
Looks good during the day? Sure, but enjoy black crushed nights now. Or interiors so dark that you cant find an item.
It will always "break" some parts of the game, so thats why I always stick to vanilla

No, there's way more to it than that.
Look at the detail in Geralt's hair and the trees in the background in the first shot.
Or the scratches in the leather on Geralt's chest or his sleeve on his raised arm in the second shot.
Or the ground textures or detail of the wheel spoke in the third shot.
Or the detail of the horses hair, particularly where the reins meet the horses body, or the extra detail on the beach, rocks, and trees in the background in the fourth shot.
The upgrades I pointed out are undeniable. It's not just due to different time of day.
