The worst thing is they fucking lied about it.

People said they saw a downgrade and not only did they deny a downgrade exists, they promised the retail version would have even better graphics than what they had shown so far.

There's a lot of games that have gone through a downgrade but most devs just kind of keep their mouths shut about it and don't comment on speculation, I think CDPR is the only one to have ever flat out lied. Have they even admitted they downgraded the graphics yet?

I seriously still don't see it. It just looks like the PS4 has more fog, or "blur" as what you called it. There is no difference other than that. Also, the screenshots might look different because they are taken in different positions (notice the plant leaf on the top image on the right, but not as noticable on the bottom image)
>>
>>336957076
No one would deny that The Witcher 3 still looks good, but it pales in comparison to the VGX Trailer / Screenshots that were released around that time, and is even still a solid bit behind the 2014 demo.

Most of it isn't really "that" bad (Depends how much you value fire/particles/grass etc), which is why it still does ultimately look good, but the Lighting, LoD and retarded fog implementation is just fucking horrible.
>>
When downgrades happen it really shows how much console fags wish their games were made for a PC so that these graphics could actually be achieved if you chose to invest further in your machines power. Its so disgusting that the industry needs to suffer for the existence of consoles. At least they serve to corral the worst of the worst gamers into their console prison.
>>
>lower half is an YT compressed image
>top was demoed on a PS4 dev kit (which not a PC) Which is also the same demo that ND showed on GDC and to Eurogamer's game preview. the same dev kit was earlier used to demo No man's sky

its cumbersome to bring a Desktop PC when you can already run the demo on a devkit that Sony provided for the PS4 event panel

Oh, yeah, that's right. They blamed the consoles and then told everyone not to blame the consoles.

But you are wrong about it being before release. They admitted it on the day of release, when continuing to deny it would have been ridiculous now that everyone had the game.

Nice mods retard. The top is PC but it's the actual normal version of the game.

And even with Mods, look at the fucking hut at the back of your picture, the LoD in TW3 is all kinds of fucked up. Building textures especially turn to complete mush off in the distance, and very easily visible distance too. Not to mention those textures switch INSTANTLY from LoD 0 > LoD shit, which is jarring as absolute fuck.

But what caused the budget to triple? From having played the game, Crysis 3 is the shortest and smallest of them all, so I guess it wasn't invested into the game, or did Crytek create 3 different games for the 3 different systems?

He didn't say piracy caused them to change platforms in the 90s, it caused them to change platforms with the release of Gears of War, which was 2006. He said the 90s was when the budgets began to grow.

It's honestly baffling to me that there are still people that think the ease with which PC games are pirated, or at least were until denuvo, has no effect on the market.

List of things that were removed/downgraded:
The mod kit
Subsurface scattering
Forward lit soft particles
Semi volumetric clouds
Bokeh depth of field
Seems like a lot of the PBR they bragged about
Combat camera shake
Convincing and gratuitous pools of blood that 'realistically' floated on water
Subtle lens flares
Tessellated ground
Anamorphic lens flares
Flexible water simulation
Geralt's face was severely downgraded
In-game scenes like the Wild Hunt attacking the town and the introduction to the emperor of Niilfgard were changed to worse effect
Aerial perspective fog
Sign particle intensity was lowered
Many textures in Novigrad were downgraded
Volume based translucency
Many environment models in Novigrad
Interior lighting looks horrendous now
The bloom shader sucks, you can see how it was before in the wild hunt segment
Screen space reflections
The way drowners look was good and is really bad now

>>336959806
You should read some dev commentaries on Uncharted 3 to understand all the difficulties ND had to make the game even run on the PS3. Even weeks before its gold status, they couldn't run the game properly because it would constantly crash and it was filled with bugs. The PS3 just couldn't handle it, so they downgraded everything, from the lighting system to character models and got it to run fairly smoothly. You can partially thank Sony and its forced 3D implementation for some of the problems.

Because programmers, artists, and such don't actually talk about their games while they are making them. It's their marketing departments that try to sell the game, in this case Sony's. I don't see a reason to discredit a programmer when he is explaining the problems he had to make a game run properly due to system limitations, strict deadlines, and useless features.

Their statement about it amounted to "Yes, we lied, but it's a good thing we lied because it's the only way this game would exist." They applauded their lies and made no mention of never doing it again in future.

Yeah MGSV's wasn't too bad, it was just a lighting pass they took off.

And in reality they made distant things better looking in the final build.

On top of that the engine loads in more from further away at higher resolutions, especially if you manually tweak the setting file to load everything at max distance, it's still super good looking.

What they should've done is stuck to previous methods of tight level design with a linear approach or even semi open world. Instead we got levels that were essentially huge circles and people parading around how great it was they could enter it from a different direction despite the fact that level design had completely lost its sense of progression and quality. Fuck open world.

The lighting at night and in interiors is also garbage in 3 compared to 2.

I set the time and weather to mirror the time and weather of the trailer and I maxed out the graphics because the cutscenes was still 1:1 despite the downgrade.

And you can CLEARLY tell how butchered it was.

TW3 has the worst downgrade because CDPR used to be bros but then they stooped to this level.

Their next game will use Denuvo because they know the enemy they've made.

This thread makes me frustrated and disappointed.

Sure, it's good to start with high ambitions, and effective to lure people in with better E3 graphics. Sure, there are hardware limitations you run into.

But goddammit the final result is just feeling like you got gipped out of what could have been. At least make the trailers CLOSE to what the game will be like. Every time this shit happens I lose faith in the industry as a whole. It's why I never preorder anything anymore.

To be fair, The Witcher 2 was made for PC and then painfully ported to the xbox. It's almost always the other way around now, e.g. The Witcher 3.

It used to be fairly common for a game to made for PC and then ported to consoles later, even during the last gen, now it's almost unheard of. The only games that come out on PC before consoles these days are indie games and that's only because it's a lot easier and cheaper to release your game on PC, there are no gatekeepers.

2013 was the PC game, in beta, that was downgraded. Kojima thought next-gen was going to be good so he even promised that the game would look better.

Textures and models AND shadows pop-in still in the final game so I don't know what you're getting at.

They downgraded the lighting, weather, and the PBR they bragged about. Don't defend it.

It doesn't count because it has nothing to do with the actual game. It's like giving Bethesda an award for Skyrim having great graphics, when it was mods by other people that made it look good, and not Bethesda or Skyrim itself.
