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.

[@Zenxfreth]

Top 2 games of a generation. Both of them are unforgettable. But we have to give SOME special credit to CD Projekt Red for being able to make a same callibre game with Rockstar, with much less budget and experience. And the release date of TW3 is 3 years earlier. Props to them!

[@ernestmoulin8962]

Fuck, you made me realise that Red Dead 2 is almost 5 years old, so Wither 3 is almost 8 years old...

[@Zack-vi7is]

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.

The Witcher 3's crossbow was an absolute afterthought that was apparently added just so you could have a way to bring down flying enemies and attack underwater ones -- that's why the projectiles aren't even rendered beyond a white line and have no collision unless you hit something that takes damage. The aard sign has water collision, though.

[@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.

[@clancyteaches5232]

@@emmanuel1337 I absolutely agree with you on that matter. TW3 is my favorite fictional universe ever, and absolutely agree over the fact that RDR2's story also hardly picks up my interest.

TW3 is just superior, the setting and theme songs, along with the side stories and side missions fit perfectly together, which creates an unmatchable experience.

The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are two fantastic games for different reasons. The first is the best role-playing game set in a fantasy world and contains breathtaking landscapes and missions that are true masterpieces, the second makes you experience the wild west and creates a world so realistic that it seems real. Graphically they are both beautiful. Red Dead Redemption 2 on the other hand is more realistic, not only in graphics and physics but also in the behavior of animals and people. I think that in this aspect no game in the world can surpass it. When NPGs work, eat or do activities they do not pretend, they really do it. For example, I saw lumberjacks cutting down trees in a forest. A few days later I returned to the same area and it was full of cut trees. However, even if The Witcher 3 is not as realistic as Red Dead Redemption 2 it can give indescribable emotions. In reality the best missions are not those of Red Dead Redemption 2 but those of TW3. In particular the main one of the DLC Heart of Stone. As for the narrative and the characterization of some secondary characters, The Witcher 3 has no rivals capable of equaling it. Even some settings, while not graphically at the levels of RDR2, are exceptional. I think for example of Toussaint and the royal palace of Beauclair. Or the splendid Novigrad. Red Dead Redemption 2 instead struck me for the behavior of the members of Dutch's gang that is really complex and changes over time. Some characters that were friends can then become enemies. The soundtracks are wonderful in both games. As for the combat system, I would say that the one in TW3 is more strategic since you have to carefully choose the potions, signs, ointments and swords. Furthermore, the monsters in the quests are minibosses with different characteristics. Before facing them you have to consult the bestiary. The combat system in RDR2 is extremely simple since you only have to choose the pistol or rifle that does more damage or is more precise. In shootouts even if you face many enemies it is enough to hide behind an object and you can eliminate even 20 enemies without struggling. This is because you can activate the Dead Eye that allows you to slow down their movements and also highlights their vital points. But even without the dead eye when you draw the weapon the gun automatically points at the head of the enemies allowing you to kill them without struggling. In this way the shootouts are simpler but also more similar to those of western movies.

Try to listen to their soundtracks after a couple of years. I tried listening to both but when the Kaer Morhen music played, my heart just sank instantly. Nothing touched me the way W3 did. ❤

2015 game vs 2018 game... Barely AA studio vs biggest AAA studio... $81 Million vs $500 million... Comparison here is absolutely irrelevant, both are amazing games, made by passionate people ! An interesting test would be to do RDR2 or W3 versus a game that has the same budget and roughly the same studio size, but which did less well quality as a result.

[@johnwi-l_l-iamsf3763]

Jesus makes these game from heaven 🙏

[@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

[@Chocobar-fi4st]

💀 that comparison wouldn't make sense either ....... (according to ur logic)

[@Zero8880]

I'm replaying RDR2 on a 5140x1440p Samsung Odyssey G9, with max ultra settings, and averaging 90 fps, and it is absolutely breathtaking. Having all that extra screen real estate really let's you take in just how vast and gorgeous the world is.

[@Dagger_323]

Still doesn't compare to 4K. When I played RDR2 in 4K for the first time I realized just how superior the game looks with a vertical base resolution of 2160p as opposed to merely 1440p. The sheer amount of detail you miss out on below 4K is stark.

[@Zero8880]

@@Dagger_323 I have to disagree. I have dual monitors on my setup. The Samsung Odyssey g9, and the LG C1 Oled 48". I much rather prefer to play it on the g9 with it's super ultrawide view.

[@Dagger_323]

@@Zero8880 that's fine, but you're objectively giving up detail. Ultrawide may be immersive due to the aspect ratio, but RDR2 in a base vertical resolution of 1440p looks far blurrier and less detailed than 4K.

[@Zero8880]

@@Dagger_323 Have you played on both side by side? I have and can hardly tell a difference in terms of detail. Plus the framerates were higher on my g9, giving a much smoother experience.

[@Dagger_323]

@@Zero8880 yes I have. I have over 1000 hours in the game and have tested it thoroughly both modded and unmodded. RDR2 looks noticeably worse in 1440p than it does in 4K, and the difference is not subtle at all.

[@charlesharrington3890]

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

When was RDR 2 was released and when was The Witcher 3? Big difference!

[@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.

[@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.

What I find funny is that if you compare The Witcher 3 with any other game released after it, fanboys come along saying "you can't compare these two games, The Witcher 3 is older". But The Witcher 3 fanboys compare the game with everything, but we can't 😂😂

[@JarringSteak]

Rdr2 beats any game in story, open world and details. If we're talking about details and physics, rockstar was always ahead, you can compare witcher 3(2015) to gta4 (2008), gta4 still wins. But other than that Witcher 3 is a masterpiece for different reasons

[@stolenname94]

Witcher 3 imo was an over-all better experience for me personally. Thats not to say rdr2 was bad or anything, but the story imo was just better and the quests themselves were imo much better. Rdr2 suffers from the same problems as previous rockstar games, play it the way we intended or you will fail the mission... it ruins it for me slightly. Still rdr2 has a very immersive world that will take you hours to see every last place and all missions. But rdr2 on repeat playthroughs just wasnt all that fun for me, and after a while all the random npc stuff becomes predicable. I never once grew bored of witcher 3 because even if you remember the story well its soooo well written that it manages to keep me engaged everytime i replay it. You can get through rdr2 with basic guns and very minimal survival skills. Rdr2 on the other hands demands that you actually go out into the world and master the oil's and various tonics to gain a fair advantage on monsters. Just try playing witcher 3 without investing in the upgraded variations or actually learning the beastiry and the game will become a nightmare. Rdr2 has alot of fine detail that really adds to the experience and its one you only really get to experience one time. I can look past the graphics of rdr2 and its detail because as a game the witcher 3 imo excels. Rdr2 is more of an experience.

Finally got around to playing RDR2 recently, having played the Witcher 3 & DLCs a couple of years ago. It's an incredibly well made game, and has so many great features, but the world just didn't suck me in like the Witcher's did. Graphics are a nice bonus, but how the game makes you feel is far more important to me. I think I also preferred the relative freedom of playing a lone wolf like Geralt, as opposed to playing as Arthur and being part of a gang that constantly demanded my attention. Just comes down to personal tastes really, I suppose.

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.
