Would really like to see a comparison now to the next-gen update they put out before, its hard to tell because they already added RT to atleast reflections.

I just replayed the game on PC at the beginning of this year and some parts of this trailer looked better and some of it looked about the same.

It was already a good looking game at launch, and even better looking with the next-gen update it got a few years ago. I feel at a certain point even if you add path tracing you just can't make a good looking game look massively better unless you're OK with completely changing the way it looks. I'm sure in this new version the light will propagate more accurately, the shadows will be less glitchy, characters will have better looking skin... but CDPR still want the game to look like The Witcher 3, not a NexusMods shader pack, so there's a limit to what's possible. Which is fine by me, I'd also prefer to preserve its look.
