Witcher 3 Dev Puts Gameplay Over Specs; Anon Claims Resolution/Framerate Details

February 24, 2014 by Ryan Parreno

While it took an anonymous source to learn Witcher 3’s current performance benchmarks, their own developers want us to pay attention to more important things.

Witcher 3 developers CD Projekt RED have a unique take on questions about resolution and framerate, in light of their own game releasing to the Playstation 4 and Xbox One this year, as well as PC.

Whereas other developer have tried to smooth out comparisons between the two consoles, even as they state resolutions and framerates often below consumer expectations, CD Projekt Red has chosen to focus on gameplay. This dev has pointed out that consumers are making these comparisons for invalid reasons, since these elements don’t really affect gameplay. It would be a different matter if the game ended up having performance issues as a result, but this has not been the focus of the conversation. We’re sharing their full statement below.

On one hand, I do understand gamers wanting to know about resolutions and frame rates, but, in my opinion, good games are all about gameplay, about that part of the game that stays with you when you shut down your console or PC; about what makes you return to a game and what makes it fun playing it.
 
It’s a different story when a game looks bad or plays choppy but, based on my observations, it’s frequently the case of simply feeling better/worse because my hardware is better/worse than your hardware, and not how it really affects gameplay.

What’s really interesting about this statement is that there is no doubt that The Witcher 3 is going to look amazing, regardless of your console of choice. We’ve shown off development screenshots that prove this to be the case.

If this doesn’t dissuade you on finding out these specs, however, a source claims to know the performance specs the ‘upcoming Polish game’ is at now.

2. Certain upcoming Polish game 720p/30FPS XBO, 900p/PS4 (working hard to keep 1080p).

How does that make you feel? Did CD Projekt Red tackle this the right way, or should they be upfront about performance specs like other devs? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
