The hair is not a gen thing. It's a static model thing. Geralt can only have one hairstyle. That's a lot easier to animate, especially since his armour selection is limited and they can easily check for clipping. Tomb Raider is current gen title and it also had good hair.

uhhhh Geralt can change hair styles

[Mr.House]

Really, comparing the two on graphics is just silly. One is being done on new gen only, the other is on old and new. Not to mention RED is better then Frostbite so by default TW3 WILL look better. Both games look fantastic.

 

 

Maybe you should ask Bioware.

 

Bioware has nothing to do with The Witcher series, CDP does and they screwed up on something as simple as Yens hair colour.

Have they said that's the only hairstyle? The Witcher 2 had multiple.

Geralt can have different hairstyles.

Although yeah, his armor selection is limited, I agree with you on that.

Sorry to bring up another game in BioWare's official forums. It's just that I keep seeing references to Dragon Age: Inquisition's graphics saying that they aren't that great. One article I read said DA:I is caught in that "awkward between-generations spot" when it comes to visuals, and that Witcher 3 is "certainly better-looking."

It kind of makes me feel dumb, because to me the games look almost the same graphics-wise, with DA:I even having the upper hand in some areas. Am I just a terrible judge of graphics? Or is 75% of the internet biased towards the Witcher franchise?

 

Wish people would stop trying to compare Witcher to Dragon Age. Its getting tedious.

I think they both look amazing on their own terms. One of the huge differences is in the art style, TW3 continues the photo-realistic look of its prequel, while DA:I has a more 'stylized' look.

Technically TW3 appears to be better for now, artistically is difficult to say, since I have to get my hands on them both (which I will!).

[Warlock]

Well, the art style on the witcher series seem to be more inclined toward the gritty realistic, while DA, while not cartoonish, is certainly a lot let realistic. I think that is one reason why the witcher series may come as having better graphics. 

That being said, from a technical point of view, the witcher 3 is lightyears ahead of DAI.

[CronoDragoon]

Personally I like the art direction of Inquisition a lot more, particularly the armor designs.

I have high hopes that our Inquisition stronghold will look totally rad.

You ARE aware of the fact that even though Yennefer's hair appears to be brown in that trailer, it's definitely black in the game.

[BloodyTalon]

I'm getting both, but generally you have to keep in mind the people that make the witcher focus a lot more on pc then other corps do so graphics can generally look better and the games are have better performance then a lot of others on pc so. So they can generally show off better graphics.

Also it will work with older tech has well, after its been being made for 360 and ps 3 also, the delay in release was something else, most likely the new tech for next gen consoles happens with corps lately.

Both games seem to have a different art style has well in my view.

But yes DA:I reminds me of witcher 2 graphics in some areas so far.

 

DRagon age seems to use brighter colors and witcher is more gothic medieval tone which makes sense.

TW2 didn't have multiple styles on release.

Is it? Have we seen any gameplay vids with her that show her with BLACK CURLY hair? Because if we don't all we have is CDPs word and no devs word is 100% true.

[Suledin]

DA:I graphics are like Witcher 2.

Those two are from pre-alpha stage. Especially the first one is from a really early build, I assume. See the sky, Viv's face (also the outfit) differences. 

[Chanda]

I don't think it matters. As someone else said, great graphics don't mean a great game. And besides, as a female I will never play The Witcher series, because I can't play as a female character. I like being able to make and customize my own characters. And that means being able to choose their gender.

TW3's graphics will look better. TW3's animations/face anim. will look better (huge improvement over TW2), the special bonus is better, armor is better.

 

But combat will probably blow like TW2, I still don't care for most of the characters (Radovid ), so I'll just buy it when it's cheap on Steam.

Keep an eye on the witcher 3 own web page also, also if you have the pervious games can enter the codes for both get free back up copies without drm and a discount from the people that make the game for pre-orders, have both pervious games and get a 20 percent discount when I'm ready to pre-order. Also they generally do sales on their own game before stream does so do keep an eye out.

Hopefully you heard of their store site, would post a link but you know this thread is already touchy on the rules for the forms and don't want to press my luck.

Does this work if I have 1&2 for PC but want to buy 3 for PS4?

Witcher 3 looks way better but that doesn't mean DAI looks bad. DAI still looks great. The major differences I see between the game though is I don't think CD Projekt has shown W3 on PC yet while all footage for DAI is off PCs. Yet, you could argue W3 already looks way better. I think all the E3 footage from W3 was on a Xbox One which is pretty crazy if you ask me. That means it's going to look insane on PC ultra settings.

 

I've seen people say DAI looks better and I think it's the art style that people like more. That would make sense to me. Art is probably the most important thing when it comes to be visual pleasing looking at a game, IMO.

Actually only the Xbox presentation was running on Xbox one. The other presentation (behind closed doors - though a few segments are available to watch online) are on PC. The PC version looks better, and you can tell easily which version is which whenever fur pops up. the PC version features NVidia Fur tech.

[In Exile]

You can't really say that though. Even if it is a static model, maybe the new hardware gave them something more to work with. At the end of the day, generations are only limited by hardware. Maybe this new hardware gave them more space to improve on the hair model and animations. I say this because in graphics, the most important thing is how many items can be rendered on the screen at one point(with respect to efficiency). Having a better animated hair model due to more hardware resources could still make it next gen, but we dont actually know that.

It's a totally different engine, so we can't really compare them the same way. FB3 was designed to work for an FPS first rather than for high res character models in an RPG and that matters (you see that same problem U3).

The DAI hair clearly goes beyond a resource problem because of the way the hair actually looks, ie blocky. We've seen far better hair on this generation alone. The last of Us and Tomb Raider both pulled it off.

Sadly not that I know of if you mean the discount, their store site is for their pc games and older games that they make work perfectly on current pcs.

Well, if that's true either way it looks better than DAI lol. I don't think it's a big deal personally. They're different games with different compromises. W3 is only on next-gen while DAI is cross-platform. W focuses more on aesthetics like cleaner animations, hair physics, scabbards, etc. DA's compromise is weaker overall graphical fidelity and animations for party gameplay with far more customization than Witcher games.W's compromise is their writing isn't that great for characters(just my personal opinion) and you're extremely limited on customization options with weak weapon/armor variations.

 

I'm willing to bet DAI will have far better written characters as that's an area Bioware puts a lot of resources into. Both games have very noticeable compromises and both games will be great. It's not very often you see 2 amazing AAA RPGs coming this close to release between each other. I will personally take a crafting system with tons of depth, character customization, weapons, armor etc. over all the small aesthetic details W puts in their games. Seeing cool animations creates great immersion but I'd rather be lost in systems like crafting or playing cosplay with my characters. That's just me though.
