Yeah. But unless there are some major (like "I cannot believe we released that beta code"-major) changes to the final game, there's absolutely no fucking way the E3 reveal was running on a One X. Which is what was advertised. That is different from having downgraded assets.Do people not understand programming and efficiency? Finalized game full of assets and objects = less GPU less RAM than an early demo. Why is “downgrade” the term as if it were running nicely and they purposefully made it worse?
This could be the case or it couldve been a really well designed tech demo. Not saying that I agree with the practice or care about this game but “downgrade” is the wrong term. Bullshot is what people should be saying.Yeah.

Usually (Witcher 3, Watch Dogs) controversies like these have related to the PC version - where there (theoretically) isn't an upper bound for graphics. But this was supposedly on a fixed hardware target. Which it obviously never ran on.
...and you think the final game will be up to E3 reveal standards? A game that is releasing in... a little over a week from now?The demo was not even the final version of the game. It was an old build that people were playing months ago during the closed alpha.
Its Dark Souls 2 level downgrade

How you dare to not be affected by downgrades and care about gameplay?????Nah I won't be disappointed because I don't care about graphics or downgrades. I am about game play and content. If it's good, which from the 20 hours I played across both weekends it is, I'm happy.
Didn't try the Anthem demo, but how is the downgrade compared to UBI's famous Watchdogs BS?
LOL what? Was Trump president when the exact same debate happened with dark souls 2 or watch dogs? So in that case you'd have to write:Fearmongering. Trump's America, y'all
I'm so in agreement of keeping politics in the politics section. As a matter of fact - I think many threads regarding $WHATEVER_PEOPLE_ARE_GETTING_UPSET_ABOUT, usually per-emptively, should be there too.Jeez, keep stupid partisan politics in the politics threads...
That's why it is a target. You aim for it. Sometimes you miss. Sometimes by a lot.![]()

If you look at an AD you are being lied to, it's quite simple really.
went to gamestop yesterday and cancelled it.
Hopefully, you kicked over a few racks of games on your way out!
There is a mod for the original dark souls on PC that replaces the "YOU DIED" with "THANKS OBAMA", after a while it allowed custom dead screens, you could also have e.g. "REKT", "YOU'RE FIRED" or "REEEEE".I'm so in agreement of keeping politics in the politics section.

But did you just make that image up or did it exist? Because if it did, oh my $DEITY.
Imagine saying this when referring to Anthem.I am about game play and content.
Gosh, another downgrade situation. For whatever reason, this stuff never bugs me at all. Am I the only one? I find it fascinating - a window into development. Outside of something like Aliens from Gearbox, I don't believe any developer is out to deceive anybody (and even then, I don't think those doing the actual work on Aliens wanted to let people down). I get why people would be disappointed, of course, don't get me wrong but it somehow doesn't bug me any longer. The Spider-Man puddle thing was especially insane - it felt like people were descending into madness.
Funny you mention the PS2 era. I remember people thinking those reveal demos were all faked but, in reality, they were actually entirely real-time. Running at 60fps using field rendering even and were surpassed by retail software. I think it was the fact that they were mostly shared through super low quality video that maybe helped cover-up the flaws?I dunno, I think it's been a thing since the PS2 era for sure where people see trailers for games and react like "the game won't look like that".
Feels like back then I saw a lot of people annoyed that the trailers would contain like loads of cutscenes that look great but no gameplay footage that everyone knows will look worse.
Nothing will top the PS3 reveal, though. Good lord. The king of faked trailers.
Yes but the key is it's never advertised as a target. It's specifically stated as "taken from the game while running".
I honestly don't care if it seems petty, I love laughing at dowgrades, I drink it all in, because it serves them right. While we all joke, and some of us defend, these idiots are actually making money from false promises, faked footage, bullshit builds on 5 grand computers being passed off as ps4/xbox...and even a current 5 grand computer can't make Anthem look like the target demo. But EA made share money off the back of it, off the back of their "successful" E3, bonuses will be paid out to SJW Bioware management and EA execs....ALL based on a completely bullshit trailer than any decent game fan can tell is not going to be remotely real.
That's why I laugh hearily when they're exposed. It's fully deserved and I love it.
Yeah and it's a good example of publishers screwing over developers since GG had nothing to do with that teaser being shown!Killzone 2 will forever be the king of bullshit. Good god that reveal trailer was something else.
That's... quite ingenious really. I approve.There is a mod for the original dark souls on PC that replaces the "YOU DIED" with "THANKS OBAMA", after a while it allowed custom dead screens, you could also have e.g. "REKT", "YOU'RE FIRED" or "REEEEE".
Yup. Well, and us for receiving generic bog standard boring safe investor friendly games.
That isn't how I'd describe Anthem, although it might be more accurate for other EA properties. It isn't a sequel. It isn't from a developer with a track record in that particular genre. It isn't in a genre that is showing increased demand.
If anything I'd say Anthem is/was a pretty big risk.
With respect to EA's effect on Bioware itself, almost everybody who made Bioware what it was has departed since the acquisition.
I'll have to disagree, I think Anthem is only risky in how boring it is. Its not a sequel sure but it's the most generic AAA game of the year. I think it flops.
Why exactly?
Imagine saying this when referring to Anthem.
I'm curious what wires had to be crossed for Trump to be brought up in this subject...I mean outside of the word deceptive if you're really reaching lol
SO what ,its nothing new,that always happened,seriously I don't see any issue with this,the game was made to run good on all platforms.and consoles aren't high end and they will never be,complaining about this doesn't solve anything,like I said this happened every time when promoting multiplatform games,if by now you didn't learn the lesson that means you're really naive.
Words are violence, get with the times, it's the current year.The world where you got upset at an obvious joke
Why exactly?
Haha never been jumped on for bringing “partisan political conversation” into a thread, but yep I guess that’s 2019 for yaWords are violence, get with the times, it's the current year.

But to stay on subject since people are touchy, complaining about downgrades pretty much shows how many people don’t know how tf game development works. And even if you do have any sort of understanding, there’s no possible way to presume to know how they structured their initial showing of the game unless you have some sort of inside source, which nobody here has. Downgrade freakouts are pretty annoying imo.
