The final game has fields with tall grass. Stop being dishonest.

I'm not even sure if I would consider that downgraded. The real game probably would look like that if you made a custom map that looked the exact same. The gun animation is a bit different though but that really doesn't matter.

bullshots have been a thing going all the way back to the 80s

2007 just happened to be around when the new consoles were hitting and people were excited to see what the "next generation" of graphics hardware was going to bring so people were more susceptible to bullshots. Same thing happened with Killzone 2.

>>385913329

If you look closely at the top pic, those assets are still in the game

The biggest issue with Witcher 3 is the shitty color grading, it makes it look like a Wii game at times, don't even get me started on Toussaint aka Piss filter land

Horizon Zero Dawn for example has a very similar level of technical visuals to TW3, but the artists really knew how the make the lighting pop by complementing it with good color grading

Most of the "graphics mods" in TW3 are just that, color grading & people think it's some fancy new lighting mod

>Maybe we shouldn't have shown that [trailer], I don't know, but we didn't know that it wasn't going to work, so it's not a lie or a bad will - that's why we didn't comment actively. We don't agree there is a downgrade but it's our opinion, and gamers' feeling can be different. If they made their purchasing decision based on the 2013 materials, I'm deeply sorry for that, and we are discussing how we can make it up to them because that's not fair.

>>385921327
Not any of the above anons but who cares? It's not a difficult plot to follow and the journal exists for a reason.

>>385921512
Wasn't specifically talking about the story. It's just a game in general that needs to be taken in all at once. I've seen so many complaints about, for example; the combat. And the fuckers don't even realize they can use a crossbow to shoot down flying monsters, some don't even know they have it.

That's the extremely short version of it. But perhaps you can manage.

>>385919406
I think this downgrade was the most unforgivable.

Other downgrades we got tastes of before release, the game would look worse in a second trailer released later than the first and then it would look worse yet again for another trailer and then it'd come out looking roughly like that most recent trailer. That way you knew the downgrade was coming. With Witcher 3 we all saw the downgrade before the game actually came out. People weren't fooled into buying Witcher 3 thinking it was going to look like the VGX trailer because they saw the E3 trailer that looked like shit before they could.

Not with Dark Souls 2 though, the downgrade was revealed only when you brought the game home and put the disc in the console. They even had a network test a few months before the game came out that didn't have the downgrade. So everyone expected to get the visuals they were seeing in the trailers, and why wouldn't they that's all they ever showed and the network test proved it was running on PS3 hardware. Then the game comes out and it has shit lighting, all the assets are lower quality, and everything just looks worse. People even thought, no no, this is just the console version the PC version will look like the trailers, six months later the PC version comes out and we all realize, no the game got a downgrade that permeated every version and we'll never get what we saw in the trailers. And then on top of that they put out the updated re-release SotFS for PC and Next-Gen consoles, promising updated visuals, except nope it's still downgraded compared to the trailers.

Scummiest downgrade in the history of downgrades right there.

The only changes are resolution and lighting, only minuscule changes to texture filtering and LoD were made.

Doesn't really matter unless it's a faster paced game. Also it's either locked 30 or 60. Unless it can reach a consistent 60fps (not 55) it will be set at 30.
