The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Complete Edition Launch (2015 Original) vs. Next-Gen Update (2022 Free) Side by Side Comparison using the new trailer.

If you’re familiar with the HD Rework project mod they actually helped with the next gen update.

The strange thing about graphical remakes is that you remember viewing the old version as the remade one. The magic of experiencing things for the first time, in it's novelty

[recht_voor_zijn_raap]

A FREE update that actually had some effort behind it..

Rockstar should take notice!

[rcheung]

It's amazing how in the OG, clever tricks such as shadows or overexposure was used to cover up otherwise noticeable lower res textures, etc.. OG aged brilliantly well.

[LegendaryDJ]

Just goes to show how good the original looks even after all these years.

This game is insane.The Bloody Baron quest line on its own is better than most other games stories.
The things that can be affected by your choices in that mission is brilliant.
I can't wait to play this again.

One thing that looks promising and I haven't seen anyone else mentioning is in the original several of the cutscenes were prerendered so if you were wearing the alternative armor then the originals would show in these cut scenes and then it would switch back to the alternatives after which kind of break immersion. One of the 8 or 10 cutscenes that had this problem was when Ciri enters the tower to destroy the White Frost. Here they show her in the alternative armor but in the original it only shows the original because that scene was prerendered.

for a game that came out in 2015 the original still holds up. Glad it’s getting more love. Looks like better ray tracing

The best part is that after playing it after a few years, I have changed myself and therefore my choices are also different, thanks to which I experience the game from a different perspective!

[darrenanderson]

Playing this for a second time and actually having a middling understanding of how crafting and potions work is going to be a real game changer 👌

And its not just the texture. If you watch their full presentation, they have added many more QOL changes such as new Quick Cast for spells, which makes combat much more fluid.
I encourage you all to watch the full presentation, its somewhat nostalgic as well.

[LostInDistance]

They’ve added way more content. From photo mode, different third person camera angles. Sign selection no longer pauses the game, can all be selected from the controller buttons. Can now pause the game while in cut scenes. Bug fixes. The list goes on.. 🙂

[frts]

even without the graphical change, there’s still:
-60 fps for console
-camera, control, and UI changes
-photo mode
-quest changes/fixes
-ray tracing support
-quick casting
-cross progression
-popular community mod integration
-netflix “dlc”
and it’s all for free! even if you expected more of an update, at least CDPR aren’t charging 20 dollars, or 60-70 dollars for it (unlike some companies).

[devonjuvinall]

Objectively, one of the best games ever made. And this graphical overhaul actually looks so much better, thanks CDPR and HD Rework project mod team! (P.s. y'all deserve a name if you don't already have one!!)

[majinmatt]

I have never fully dove into this game and I'm one of the lucky ones to get to experience this for the first time.

[nakiuzuaya]

I really hoped they added more npcs faces. It's looking good and i'll definitely play it, but man if they did that i'd be the happiest man alive

[Suldusk]

Honestly if they only raised the fps for it for next gen consoles that would’ve been enough for me to play it 5 times, again. This is a welcome surprise!

[june_o]

This side by side comparison is exactly what we needed. New update looks amazing so far! Thank you for making this video😊

[starmember]

I’ve known tw3 for years but actually never played it. So I got it for sale yesterday and man I’m in love with this game. The atmosphere isn’t like any other game. Now that this graphical dlc is coming, I’ll be twice amazed.

[lanceareadbhar]

It's amazing how our eyes and our memories fill in the details that were missing in the older version that the new version adds.
