According to CD Projekt Red interview, the Witcher 3 had a budget of US$34 million. The development itself was only ~US$12.6 million (which made the fact that the game was that well done was an even more amazing fact). with the rest of the budget being allocated to marketing and promotion. How much was RDR2 budget? This attention to detail came at a huge cost, however. The game alone is thought to have set the developer back between 170 and 240 million dollars, with as much as $300m spent on marketing on top of that amount.

[@paquito4147]

Nah tw3 has really bad lighting, it's so fake like things are not really illuminated by sun but just "oh its day time then all the textures look brighter, at night time the textures look darker and blueish". Meanwhile in RDR 2 there is a complex lighting system where the sun lights the whole world, the volumetric clouds do create shadow, the sun lights can get mixed by particles creating the most advanced volumetric fog in a videogame yet... RDR 2 just destroys TW3 technically wise in every aspect. Only thing left for TW3 where it might not be an objective loser is on subjective things like the fact that it is more RPG like with dialoge choices and such, so that depends on the player tastes. Or the game setting in a fantastic world.

[@clancyteaches5232]

This is a stupid comparison. The next gen of the witcher never included any updates towards details or physics of the game at all, it just improved its graphics, bugs and glitches. You can check for yourself, there is no difference between quality, clarity, physics and details between old gen and new gen of the witcher 3, so its still comparing a 2015 game to a late 2018 game, and late 2019 if you take PC, which I am assuming is used in this video. Still, im not saying rdr2 is a bad game or anything, just a stupid comparison. Also dont forget the size of each of these games. I have both the witcher 3 and rdr2 installed in my pc. The witcher 3 takes up 50GB, while rdr2 takes to an absolutely ridiculous 150gb, exactly triple its size, which also makes this comparison stupid.

[@emmanuel1337]

@@clancyteaches5232 I was just stating facts in my original comment and don't disagree with what you said in your response -- the comparison was always unfair since there isn't an obsession with realism in TW3 like there is in RDR2, but it just goes to show how well the former holds up overall. People feel the need to compare it to newer releases (and RDR2, which was absolutely a point out of the curve, btw) after it just gets what amounts to, for the purposes of the comparison, minor to medium graphical changes. I honestly think TW3 is a vastly superior game to RDR2 anyway, but I'm highly biased. TW3 has what is one of my favorite fictional universes ever while RDR2 has a setting and story that hardly picks my interest.

TW3 was one of the most expensive games ever made when it releases in 2015. You might be underestimating how big CDPRs budgets are. They spend as much on their games as any AAA studio does.

[@Zenxfreth]

​@@Zack-vi7is Or maybe you don't know how much they spent for RDR2. TW3 budget: $81M. RDR2 budget: $370M. - $540M. TW3's development began in 2011, and RDR2's began in 2013. Therefore both projects were roughly developed in the same period. Also, because inflation rates were so insignificant in that period, there was no difference between the purchasing power of a $ between those years. Especially when there is only 2 year gap between the starting of development of these two games. Therefore it's clear that Rockstar spent a lot more money than CDPR.

[@Zack-vi7is]

@@Zenxfreth those numbers are absolute bullshit. There's no chance RDR2 cost anywhere near $500M. Analyst estimations were less than $200M, the only people who reported $500M were journalists exaggerating to make a more interesting article. No company is spending half a billion on a single player game with no MTX. $500M is more than Rockstar has spent total on GTA 5 after a decade of consistent content updates. It's ridiculous to think RDR2 cost even half that much.

[@Zenxfreth]

@@Zack-vi7is Even if we put these "reported" numbers aside, we all know how big Rockstar and it's budget comparing to CDPR (before the success of TW3). So don't tell me that Rockstar's budget was not significantly higher than CDPR's. C'mon, man.

RDR2 Is simply ahead. I found 3 interesting details on this video. 01:10 the bag physics when Arthur leans 01:15 the horse muscles when it's on sprint 05:10 the sound of burnt grass as Arthur walked over..

The Witcher 3 é um jogo de 2015 contra Red Dead que é de 2018, fica meio desigual nesse aspecto mas com esse remaster Witcher ficou monstro.

[@ratsuay]

In Witcher 3 you live as a fairy tale hero, in RDR 2 you become a legend. I am grateful to both games for providing emotional and unforgettable experiences.

[@gateopssss]

RDR 2 is just insane. Honestly as much as i've heard it being called the best game to play, i never believed it or bothered 'till i tried it myself. My goodness, i enjoyed every single moment i had in that game. If that kind of realism, physics, graphics, story was to be put in GTA VI, it would be the next-gen masterpiece of a game. Rockstar Games don't get enough praise for their work. Apart from them treating their games like modding is illegal, their games are worth every penny.

[@oxyman10]

It’s too bad Rockstar killed a next gen update for RDR2. I would play this game all over again.

I think that GTA 6 might have RDR2s great features and maybe even some more :) we'll just have to wait and see.

Nada se compara ao Red Dead Redemption 2. Jogo mais lindo e completo que existe no mundo.

[@yoshikagekira1942]

Eu joguei e fiz praticamente tudo que era possível nos 2 e discordo muito dessa sua afirmação. Adoro os 2 jogos, mas vei, the witcher 3 tem absolutamente tudo que red dead 2 tem, com o acréscimo de que vc tem escolhas (o melhor sistema de escolhas de qualquer jogo inclusive) podendo construir sua própria história. Fora que a narrativa em si de the witcher eu acho muito mais interessante, red dead é a clássica história trágica que vc cria empatia com os personagens pra ver eles morrer, é uma história bem realista por assim dizer, e eu curto mto, mas witcher ganha pontos extras cmg por ter uma narrativa incrivelmente foda e não ser trágica, foi um dos únicos jogos que me fez chorar de vdd, mas com ele n foi de tristeza. Fora que do cap 4 em diante eu odiei mto a campanha principal de red dead simplesmente pq o dutch se torna um personagem irritante e detestável oq salva msm são as missões da sadie ksks, mas isso vai do gosto de cada um né

[@vasharal38]

No way any other company can get to the details RDR2 did. We can only hope in the future we get similar quality titles, yet Witcher 3 is known to be a great story teller. I just finished the books and I'm super stoked to jump in the Witcher trilogy.

[@dareks.3040]

We're talking about 2 different ages of creations. Both are cool and that's the most important :)

[@blackskull4482]

Rdr2 is the closest to reality we have so far, i enjoy every second in this game, so many details, some not even important, but there they are

[@charlesharrington3890]

All RDR2 needs is a 60 fps update and maybe a few tweaks to the gore animations and environment (particularly water)

[@walter176]

Both are absolutely masterclass. RDR2 is my favourite game of all time and I dismissed the Witcher initially. Then I played it and saw that it is equally fantastic but different. Witcher 3 isn’t any attempt to be realistic, it’s a whisks you away into this amazing fantasy, it almost feels like your playing a classic fantasy novel, in a way I suppose you are. Where as Red Dead is grounded in real history, and makes a fantastic effort to immerse you as though you could really be there. It has much more grit and feels a little bit less video gamey than the Witcher to me. Both appeal to different moods but they will be remembered as titanic masterpieces for years and years, I wonder if we’ll still be playing them in 60 years time.

[@GemayelDaniel]

there is something about red dead's grass and landscape that makes it seem so realistic, i haven't seen a game replicate or exceed that

[@AristotelesSantosSouza]

The Witcher 3 was amazing for a 2015 game and a great showcase of what the PS4 and Xbox One could do that the PS3 and Xbox 360 couldn't, but Red Dead Redeption 2 is superior in every way, it's amazing to watch for see how games evolved from 2015 to 2018 just by comparing these two games.

[@Theone_h]

I don't think comparing them would be a good idea, they are so different from each other. Let's not forget that RDR2 is incredibly realistic.

[@garethmillar8590]

A very important detail that should be considered is that rdr2 came out 3 whole years after the witcher. Another is that rockstar are a much larger and more experienced producer than cd projekt red.

[@OllyT-id2mp]

I love rdr2 for its attention to detail and amazing emotional storyline and just all the little things you can do in the game, though I have played witcher 3 and that is also a beautiful game but never got to complete it so i will definitely play it after watching this video thank you for reminding me

[@radziugames8708]

Both games are masterpieces

[@javi4148]

This comparison makes no sense, Rockstar games are always open world adventures that seek to have the world alive and full of details with a very linear progression and the witcher 3 is a role-playing game in which other aspects are sought, we could compare the number of enemies, weapons, armor, dozens of quality missions, abilities and Geralt's level... RDR2 doesn't have all that, they are different games and each one is the best at what they do For me the two best games of the generation

[@MehtabHussain-fi4st]

The fact that the horses' muscles contract as it moves (and that their balls shrink in cold weathers) is all you need to know that Red Dead Redemption 2 is on its own level of detail, unreachable to anyone so far.
