I'm going to be blunt. Graphics were down graded. Not by enough to ruin game play but it's noticable and it wasn't just puddles. When they showed this at E3 I knew the PS4 wasn't going to be able to run it. Just like I'm calling with Final Fantasy VII remake. Gamers really shouldn't care about a small down grade in graphics. I'm not even on the Sony band wagon and I can tell this is going to be a very good game.

Of course the graphics are downgraded.

When you run an alpha build you get to use a dev computer with the horsepower of God almighty himself just to get the fucking thing to run a non-optimized specialized vertical slice of the game.

Theres Zero chance that version will become the final version. Because thats how development works. You dont know what the final version will be. You cant know.

Its not like the final stages of development are adding levels and adding little details to webshooter effects. No. Its a mad dash for bug fixes and compromises. And one of those compromises is going to be graphic fidelity.

Ask for honesty. Not time travel.

Really? Lol, or is it sheep like you gets bothered with things like this?

[u/SculpX → u/[deleted]]

Well, sorry for being bothered by someone explaining the actual stage of game development.

Again that is no excuse. If they are not sure whether the ps4 could handle the demo they have shown or not then they should have played it safe and not show it at all. Do tell me how come Rockstar, naughty dog, EA studios and most first party sony studios never downgrade their games? I can tell you why, it is because they are conservative and only show footage that is actually running on the paltform they are releasing it for and they only show it when they are 100% sure it is going to look and play that way on release. I am not saying that the game is shit just because of the downgrade, far from that, all I am saying is that it is unfair and us the people should not go on defending these practices.

First of all, we are not "defending" this in any form, you are assuming that because you are over-reacting to something like this. As someone on this thread has mentioned - this is exactly why CDPR are delaying their gameplay trailer for Cyberpunk for months (they could have shown it at E3), because this kind of thing happened with The Witcher 3. Now, the only thing that they're at fault is they didn't put on the video "finalized gameplay graphics might differ" or something like that. But sure, go ahead & make a big deal out of this.

Well, if that's your stand then you may boycott the game. I'm not going to waste my time arguing over this subject. The thing is the game looks awesome, so play it or ignore it. It's as simple as that.
