How is it a downgrade if removing them makes the game run better? This is just splitting hairs. If they were in the game and it ran like shit, they would get bashed anyways...so if through multiple play testing they figured that real time reflections made the game run worse, how is removing them a "downgraded"? The game runs better without them, so wouldn't that be an upgrade? 🤔🤔🤔 Or making the best logical choice for your game?

Agreed, but people are either childish or just won't see reason. We all know that over time the scope of a project changes and things will get cut, due to bugs/performance/other issues. That's why what we see longfg before release is not final and it says so before every preview. Games are not movies, things will change, people just got to accept it. Or perhaps all devs should do like Nintendo and use graphics that makes the Ps3 look modern in comparison..

I just want to say that this is probably theost logical comment I've seen here. Over the course of a game being worked on, this will change (and usually it's for the better of the game). The bug problem is that none of these people worked on the game so they have no idea why decisions were made and that is what people are failing to realize. They just cry, "Downgrade..." and they don't even think, "I wonder what went on behind the scenes that they had to remove this?" Games aren't easy to develop and I bet if people were on the other side, they will be able to see that these decisions are easy to make, but trying to ask a gamer to be objective is an impossible task

People want all this stuff in a game and don't realize that a project like this is made at first as an overshot of what can more than likely being reasonable done... that's the creative side of game design. If every game had to have perfect representation years out from release all games would look and play like complete shit because no company could try to make the best game they could. They would settle for what they already know is possible.

I'm calling it now ghosts of tsunami(sp?) will not look as amazing as it did at e3 this year and everyone will once again run to the internet crying.

Just wait until RDR2, Anthem, Cyberpunk 2077 comes out, people are going go crazy when these games don't look anything like they did when they were first shown. This stuff is only going to get worse unfortunately.
