Hello my friends! 🐺 Finally it's time! HD Reworked Project NextGen Edition will be released in November 23. In this video you can see what improvements HDRP is bringing to Novigrad, and this is just a small part of all the changes. The modification affects the entire game world, and makes it much more beautiful, realistic and full of details, and the number of improvements can be counted in hundreds. You will find out more on the day of the release. Have a nice day and see you on November 23!
A lot of remake and remaster developers out there could learn from the way you're able to bring out and enhance the original artistic intent of the CDPR artists, and make huge improvements that still look like they've always been there, hidden inside the old models and textures.
While I can appreciate the mountain of work that has gone into this... nobody is going to notice any of this. It is extremely noticeable, in side by side comparisons, but in actual gameplay? Nobody is going to stop and say "Wow, check out that roof tile! Wow, look at that cabbage!" The developers know which is the point of diminishing returns. They make the textures "good enough", anything beyond that is too much effort for very little payoff.
@@brutlern some of them yeah, but all the parallax stone walls and roads is something i always notice and was extremely disapointed they didnt use any displacement tech in the game
@@brutlern But that's exactly what I mean. Developers working on a remaster know that subtle and artistically consistent changes like these wouldn't be noticed, but that doesn't mean they don't do it - instead they make _large_ changes that break the original art direction because that means players will _notice_ that the game looks different, and therefore feel like the money they spent buying the remaster was worth it.
Can't Wait for the Next Gen Version!!!!! Game looked sooo good on Last Gen but ran horribly since I had this on my laptop.. Got a Upgraded PC so Can't wait to experience this mod with Smooth Gameplay!!!! Thank You Halk Hogan!!!!
Man, I could watch these slideshows for hours it's so satisfying! I actually waited with my Next Gen playthrough for this mod to come out, as I had the old HD reworked mod and was afraid that the upgrade would fall a bit flat for me otherwise😅. I just hope my computer will be able to handle it. My good old 1070 is starting to show it's age somewhat with newer and heavily modded games.
Wow, as a fan of the game, I just wanted to take the time to say this is truly REMARKABLE work. Much respect and much love. Thank you for making this game look great. It deserves it ❤❤
Perfect timing. Just finished B&W in my first next gen playthrough and was thinking of starting a NG+. Will hold off until I can install this awesome update
Thank you so much for your hard work through all these years! You always managed to improve the quality so much without sacrificing the original artistic vision, really amazing work!
Holy moly, Halk has done it again! You've killed it again, I can't wait! Never did a playthrough when they released the RT version of the game, so I guess I know what I'll be doing during the holdays!
Oh man, such attention to detail! Every change looks out-freakin-standing! We the players can't thank you enough for what u have provided us all these years, mate!!
FANTASTIC!!!!! I miss this game i haven't played it in years, and with the release of this i will be playing it all over again next winter (hopefully!) 🥰 You are a legend!!! 🙏
This is absolutely phenomenal. As luck would have it, I recently got a new PC that can actually handle the game at Max settings. The timing of this couldn't be more perfect, now fingers crossed for a Black Friday sale on the complete edition!
This is really amazing. Excited to see the game again with these new textures and everything. I feel like the only thing it still needs is this feature which dynamically blends one kind of texture into another (ie. between stones and grass), because it seems like one of the few things that really still date the game. It would be amazing but I dont expect it from a mod, because it's probably a ton of work.
If this is related to Novigrad I need to drop this comment: You sir a scholar, a gentleman 🙂 also as I said in your HD Reworked Project Nexus Mods page I hope we'll see improvements for water textures aswell along with other improvements in final version.
Just last week I was thinking about doing another playthrough and did some research on mods. Glad I did because it’s probably the reason YT recommended this to me. I’ll probably do that play through when this releases now.
Halk: Does a mod that improves texture quality and fidelity CDPR: Yo, let us implement this mod into the base game Halk: aight fam >two years pass< Halk: *I can do better*
3:37 Damn, the console looking Novigrad walls finally look closer to the early 2013 trailers when they used to be tessellated! Now if only someone could add the early trailer tessellated water :P
I thought (seeing that in an article somwehere) the next gen edition was based on your mod, but seeing now you've made another mod for it I'm not so sure.. anyways I'll definitely wait with my playthrough of the next-gen version until you release this, because the OG version was so legendary and great! thanks for all your work!
Yes, the next gen textures are based on his mod and he got paid by CD Projekt for the inclusion of his texture mod in the Next Gen version of the game. Now he is improving the textures once again.
Simply incredible! The improvements you are making to geometry is quite something. You're a bit of a wizard and CDPR has their work cut out for The Witcher 4!
Noticed that too and honestly CDPR took took the artistic liberty too far too, it's not even supporting the wall just stapled on lol. It looks really out of place the moment you pay any attention to it.
I am in love. You are our lord and savior. A very small altar shall be erected in your glory on my desk some day soon sir. Please never stop doing what you do sir !
Robisz świetną robotę. Mam powód, żeby przejść Wiedźmina 3 po raz kolejny, już nawet nie wiem który, bo po 6 przestałem liczyć, a było to kilka lat temu, mimo tylu lat ta gra nie przestaje zaskakiwać i sprawiać radości właśnie dzięki takim projektom. Jeżeli to nie problem, od siebie dodam, że akurat mnie "irytuje" i można by poprawić lub przyjrzeć się kwestii (Szczególnie ten problem dotyczy grania na większych monitorach oraz przy rozdzielczości 4K) zwiększenia odległość renderowania i wczytywania modeli o większej rozdzielczości z większego dystansu. Jest jeszcze kwestia, która znów dotyczy przede wszystkim monitorów 4K, ale z tym niestety może być trudno coś zrobić, chodzi o to, że liście drzew, drobne gałązki i trawa wyglądają dość słabo przez swoją strukturę, natomiast z większej odległości wyglądają jednolicie, jakby były zrobione z kartki papieru.
sick amount of work and energy. Looks more than awesome. Not only textures but also geometry was "repaired". This was one thing that was super bad. Super hard edges... cubes everywhere.

Has the ray tracing shadow pop in been fixed yet?
@@T2DARLANTANAH agree the game has still it flaws
@@T2DARLANTANAH Unfortunately this is an engine issue - I'm not sure it can ever be fixed by any mod, it can only be reduced.
@@KillahMate Almost fixed already just search on Nexus: Improved RT Reflection and Shadows you will see.
Take your time, the main thing is to make the game perfect! Because the next part will not be soon 2027
Those fruits really needed it

That sounds like AI generated gobbly gook

@@brutlern What are you talking about? I always notice if textures are low res and it bothers me. Can't wait for this mod.
Epic, sir! Thank you very much. I can't wait to start another playthrough with this update.
a hero we need but we do not deserve. Masterpiece. Well done sir.
Thank you for your continued work, you make a lot of people happy with it.
-and a lot of women.
@@UbiSergei2 did you just imply women are not people? LMAO
I love the increased texture depth(tesselation) and detail. It all the small things that add up to make the world more immersive.
The enhanced textures are great, but the tesselation effects are fucking awesome! This is incredible work, well done.
The next gen version combined with mods like yours make this game look great even 10 years after release date!
Great news. My next playtrough since 2017 will start together with the release date.
Mine too
A remaster of the remaster? Unbelievable dedication to the cause. Thank you for your work, people like you make this world better
I think I'll start an entirely new playthrough with your mod. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love it! Especially cause you stick to the original style and make the best out of them. Great work!
Thank you for keeping the best game of all time nicely alive. Greetings from Brazil!
Amazing! 600+ hours in OG version but I still haven't played NextGen yet... Will definitely play it right after you release your HD Reworked Project!
So happy to see this :) I have been delaying replaying Witcher 3 until this dropped, it is finally time
You are a legend, thank you for your continued efforts
Can't Wait for the Next Gen Version!!!!! Game looked sooo good on Last Gen but ran horribly since I had this on my laptop.. Got a Upgraded PC so Can't wait to experience this mod with Smooth Gameplay!!!! Thank You Halk Hogan!!!!
great work as always, thank you for investing and so much time and effort in this
Just wow! Been waiting for it to restart the game, can’t wait to get a new PC and play it with all your mods! Insanely beautiful!
incredible work. can't wait to play the witcher 3 again with this mod
Great work! This definitely warrants a new playthrough.
Man, I could watch these slideshows for hours it's so satisfying!

I am stoked for this. I've been waiting for this to drop to start a new playthru. It's stunning, cannot wait to see it in action :)
Thank you for making the world a better place
1:27 The prunes just did three graphics gens leap at the same time
Such a colossal work looks very cool, thanks for developing interest in mods for the witcher 3
(and yes my English is broken)
wow this is insanely clean, more well done than most remakes done by companies these days
I guess I can do one more playthrough 😅
Incredible work!
Playing the Witcher 3 in 2077 in 32k 1000hz VR is going to be insane!
😂
Great work, thank you so much.
Holy moly, Halk has done it again! You've killed it again, I can't wait! Never did a playthrough when they released the RT version of the game, so I guess I know what I'll be doing during the holdays!
Woaaaaaaa, cant wait to feel your amazing project sir !!!!
Amazing work.. True artistry enhanced... Looking forward to having a new playthrough ..
Looks amazing! I've never been disappointed with your mods, definitely looking forward to this. 😁
Oh man, such attention to detail! Every change looks out-freakin-standing! We the players can't thank you enough for what u have provided us all these years, mate!!
FANTASTIC!!!!! I miss this game i haven't played it in years, and with the release of this i will be playing it all over again next winter (hopefully!) 🥰
You are a legend!!! 🙏
It's like someone put SMIM in my Witcher 3!
Beautiful work! :D
True but it’s much more detailed than even SMIM. Halk is cookin
Amazing work on the meshes. That must have been a looooot of work.
This is absolutely phenomenal. As luck would have it, I recently got a new PC that can actually handle the game at Max settings. The timing of this couldn't be more perfect, now fingers crossed for a Black Friday sale on the complete edition!

thanks for your dedication to W3 !!
Holy shit, dude how do you just keep making it better
Just last week I was thinking about doing another playthrough and did some research on mods. Glad I did because it’s probably the reason YT recommended this to me. I’ll probably do that play through when this releases now.
Forma ostateczna Wieśka Trzeciego! W końcu nadchodzi! Dzięki Mistrzu za zrobienie tego dzieła ;)
That's friggin awesome. Damn it, now i have to schedule another playthrough.
Halk: Does a mod that improves texture quality and fidelity
CDPR: Yo, let us implement this mod into the base game
Halk: aight fam
>two years pass<
Halk: *I can do better*
Wonderful job ! Thank you !
thats crazy awesome. much more detailed. skyrim special edition flashbacks, but this is so amazing
Bro cooked once more! Great Job! Cant wait to have it in my game
Waiting for this spasmodically before I can even start my first run... 😁😁😁
Luv your work bruh! Great job! Keep on keeping on!
Incredible work !
Insane work man as if your work for the Next Gen edition itself wasnt enough....
3:37 Damn, the console looking Novigrad walls finally look closer to the early 2013 trailers when they used to be tessellated! Now if only someone could add the early trailer tessellated water :P
Wow, this right in line with the RE4 project, incredible!
I thought (seeing that in an article somwehere) the next gen edition was based on your mod, but seeing now you've made another mod for it I'm not so sure.. anyways I'll definitely wait with my playthrough of the next-gen version until you release this, because the OG version was so legendary and great! thanks for all your work!

IT'S ART, GOD DAMN IT!
Supercool, thx HHogan!
Incredible work

Amazing, thank you for your work
I'm ready for another Witcher run
1:52 Might've taken the artistic liberty a smidge too much with the rocks along the arch? It all looks amazing, though!
Noticed that too and honestly CDPR took took the artistic liberty too far too, it's not even supporting the wall just stapled on lol. It looks really out of place the moment you pay any attention to it.
Until yesterday, I thought the best-looking open world game I'd ever seen was Horizon: Forbidden West, but I changed my mind after watching this.
I'll be getting my first gaming laptop this month! And I'll play my dream game witcher 3 with your mods!❤
November, 23, it´s coming! :)
Very nice improvements
I just want to tell you I really really apperciate it. Enjoy your day!
Wow.. stunning work, I don't even play this game but I might now! Lol
outstanding work!
I've been putting another replay of witcher 3 for some time now. This is why!! ❤ I'm jumping back in on release.
Hell yeah! Thanks a lot!!
amazing work
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
Great work!!
Looks great
Let’s go!!!!
Where?
this looks so good!
Wow man nice work
I am in love. You are our lord and savior. A very small altar shall be erected in your glory on my desk some day soon sir. Please never stop doing what you do sir !
In before Witcher 3 looking better than Witcher 4 on release, well done! Very impressive
No i będę musiał przejść wiedźmina na modach ponownie. Świetna robota!
BTW, kiedy reworked HD do Cyberka? :)
Fire!
that's amazing !
This is impressive
This is glorious

Amazing!

Need a reason to go back to, or possibly play for the first time 🫣, The Witcher 3? Well here you go folks! 🤩
I am ready, Hulk Hogan
Now I i can finish my play through
