In an 11-second comparison video posted on the official Weibo of the series, the Witcher Geralt of Rivia uses the Igni symbol to deal with a group of drowning people in the Velen Marshes.
The purpose of the comparison was to showcase The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered’s graphical advantages over the original, but many fans in the comments preferred the older version.
Although Geralt’s armor and water look more detailed in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered, the questionable quality of reflections and lack of visual effects (such as fog) take their toll.
Users complained about the loss of atmosphere, colorful graphics and “wetter” Drowning design. “I wish you’d change the lens, because ‘is’ definitely looks better.”– certainly frozen vortex.
In addition to updated graphics, the remaster will offer an improved combat system and skill tree, an expanded photo mode, mod support and other innovations. According to CDPR, reverting to the old version after the new version ‘Very difficult’.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered will be released on PC on September 29th (steam, GOG, EGS, Battle.net), PS5, Xbox Series X, S and Nintendo Switch 2 as a free update for owners of the original game.
