Dev On The Witcher 3 Graphics Downgrade Rumor: “There Will Be No Downgrade, I See This Game EveryDay, It Looks Stunning”

At The Game Awards 2014, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was named as “Most Anticipated Game of 2015” and a brand new trailer was showcased. The trailer was full of action and was epic but graphics/visuals took a hit due to low resolution texture, terrain, environmental objects and many more things. This downgrade has not gone down too well with PC gamers and they decided to share their frustration with CD Projekt Red via game’s official YouTube Channel.

A user named “JohnReese” stated:”The downgrade is real. I refused to believe it at first, but it’s pretty obvious now. Still a good trailer though, and I’m sure the game will be amazing nonetheless.”

On seeing things go out of control, CD Projekt RED’s Marcin Momot clarified:

“I believe some explanation is required here. Unfortunately this time we’ve encountered some horrible YouTube compression problems. At this very moment we are working on fixing this and will upload another version of the trailer as soon as we can. It will present much higher quality. I want to assure you that there will be no downgrade – I see this game every day – it looks stunning.”

You can watch the YouTube version of the trailer below. High-quality mirror of the video is posted by Gamersryde. Take a look at some of the screenshots from Gamersryde version below:
