No, you're just sperging like a true retard. Actually believing the game will look that bad for everybody on launch. Especially since all the reviews seem to agree that the game, while plagued with glitches and stuff, actually looks great (despite the obvious downgrade).

Damn, I should have really bought some stocks.

Made a bet with my uncle about 1,5 year ago for 300$ that i can prove him that i have knowledge that CDP will double its share price in that time and possibly triple when first Q results after premiere will be in.

They would know any better anyways. All games look like crap on consoles.

Next patch will feature a cross-platform performance improvement. Forget framerate drops. Forget hangups. Forget choppiness. Here is an exclusive screenshot from the patch's beta testing team. The patch will feature two different graphical detail settings, for added incl00siveness!

lack of parralax mapping and lack of forward lit particles is what hits game the most from graphical standpoint.
Reduced poly count is another one.

Hm, that puts things into perspective a little more. Do you guys think that the devs should have built a seperate build just for the PC, so it can look better on it, even though they didn't have the manpower and budget for that? Isn't that a little unrealistic to ask for?

No, they should make only a PC version with the build from 2013.

Witcher 1 and 2 were only on PC. 2 was ported to consoles.

Witcher 3 does not look all that better from witcher 2 because of the consoles

That "inside" info Perkel posted is from anonymous, maybe a disgruntled (soon to be) fired employee? I wouldnt put it into the fact category just yet. That said the most logical way of developing to me would be creating a version for pc (certainly when the bulk of your fanbase, who essentially got you where you are now, resides there), the best it could be, and then pull options which "nextgen" (lol) consoles cant cope with.

Fans with monster pc's should be able to use all that powah to play witcher in superduper mode. Consoletards just have to do with glorified pong. Deal with it.

Apparently the industry doesnt work this way. Good thing there are still developers focussed on pc (larian).

Isn't it a little unrealistic to still lie to milions of people that the game was not downgraded? Oh wait it's not...
Forgiving them is not the answer,that's how many companies got away with so many lies in the past, because people seem to not care until they bought the game,then they proceed to bitch about it.

Firstly, it will probably run on my shitty computer: this makes me glad. Secondly, fuck graphics. How the fuck is the Codex even having this much talk about the graphics?

Last, it DOES looks like a coloured and less bleak version of the visuals of Skyrim. Haters gonna hate.
