Vote with your wallets, except maybe if 1000 gamers write 1000 twitter messages for 1000 years maybe Dark Souls 2 gets a new video game engine lightning system
You know, after the fact that the infamous XB1 reversal because of the twitter campaign, and after the fact that Dark Souls 1 was ported to PC entirely because of an internet petition of all things, you would think that people would stop feeling the need to post useless smug posts like yours.
It's only you who'll eat crow if anything ends up coming out of it. I know the snark comes from the comfort that they likely won't do anything about it, but you should know better by now after some recent community-driven events.
wait was the point that Dark Souls looks nothing like that real action reveal trailer #downgrade #falseadvertising
No. The point was that the trailers and demos, which ran on real PS3 hardware in many trade shows, were flagrantly unrepresentative of the final game and were perpetuated by their marketing department up until release. This not only includes one of the largest graphical downgrades in recent memory (it dwarfs the Watch Dogs downgrade), but it also eviscerates the lighting system that From themselves hyped to hell and back through their previews. This includes severe flaws in the game's level design (one of the most important aspects of the Souls series), the obvious issues with graphical fidelity that go without saying, and a drastic performance hit despite the downgrades (which affects gameplay). There are also any graphical oddities that are almost guaranteed to be linked to the fact that much of the previously pitch-black areas were now visible, such as enemies literally popping into view (likely an optimization that was assuming you wouldn't have seen that pop in a pitch-black area), and animations running in a lower framerate if the enemy is at a moderate distance away (same likely optimization).
All of these issues directly affect gameplay, the one thing the Souls series is most coveted for. And none of these were even vaguely communicated prior to launch, and there has been zero official explanation to these incredibly obvious flaws and direct contradictions to their hype to this day.
So yes, you missed the point.
