The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is unlikely to run at 1080p for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, according to developer CD Projekt Red.
Speaking during an interview with Worldsfactory, Jose Teixeira, the game’s Visual Effects Artist, said that the developer is pushing for 30fps, but didn’t seem confident when it came to hitting 1080p.
"Ideally, we’re pushing for 30 frames per second. The resolution, honestly, it depends; we’re working on it, we’re trying to get it as high as possible. If we can make it at 1080P, sure, but I don’t know if it’s going to make it. To be honest, I really don’t know. Probably not. But for sure, we need it to run at a smooth frame rate, so at least 30 FPS.
"We’re doing optimization right now and I have to say, it’s actually running quite well. To be honest, we were expecting a lot worse. When we first started playing on PS4 and XB1, we expected the game not to work at all, because it was so heavy, so we were expecting it to crash, but it’s actually running. It’s not quite there yet, but it’s running. So I think that with a little more optimization, I think we’ll get it running really well."
The Witcher 3 is scheduled for release in February 2015.
