Which would fall under presentation. If the recently captured footage is running on a different graphics card at a lower resolution, that doesn't mean that people playing on PC won't still be able to yield the same results if they have a Titan RTX graphics card. The question is, should it be considered a compromise though? I don't believe so.
That's certainly a possibility.
During TW3 marketing CDPR only showed console footage when release was fast approaching and they clearly stated what platform it was recorded on.
Bt contrast:
- We are 8 months ahead of release.
- All public demos played so far were on high-end PCs.
- Nvidia released
the exact same footage and stuck a "RTX on" on it.
- Platform and settings were not disclosed
So you tell me what seems more likely, console of up-to-date PC footage with RTX on.
Again, there seems to reasons for the apparent difference, and it seems more likely to be a result from a difference in graphics card settings, rather than CDPR downgrading the actual presentation of the game, full stop.
Why?
The recent footage even has better reflections than we saw in last year's demo. The lighting and resolution are not the same as seen previously, but the actual assets have not changed to my knowledge.
The reason why I talked about having some latitude when deeming this a Downgrade was exactly this. It was the first time we saw Johnny's in-game model and Pacifica at large. So when some deem the lighting sub-par or Silverhand's model and textures puzzling, no one outside CDPR is in a position to cry Downgrade because no one had seen them before. But anyone is certainly in a position to deem them not up to theirs or even CDPR's standards.
Right...Which is why I'm calling out people who are assuming the worst case scenario and labeling it a downgrade.
And that's why I have called you out.
As of late, CDPR behaviour has been downright baffling, much more then almost anything I've witnessed from the fans you decided to point the finger at. Maybe this is an obscure backhand strategy of them to lower expectations so to surprise everyone later on or something as Machiavellian as that. Otherwise, their behaviour hardly makes sense.
How is my sentiment not justified exactly? I'm not being unreasonable at all here. Also, that same argument could be used against you.
I didn't exactly say you're being unreasonable. I'd say the few facts we have gramt, tentatively, a different conclusion.
They technically didn't though. On both occasions they showed off the game behind closed doors to press and attendees. After which they released the first 48 minute demo to the general public.
Showing the full demo to journalists and thousands and thousands of people both in Europe and the States qualifies as showing it to the general public. The demos have been described in great detail by the press and influencers. The issue of spoilers seems almost vapid at this point.
Once again, they technically haven't shown the second demo to general public. The E3 2019 demo was showcased behind closed doors to press and attendees.
See above.
I'm very much aware of Gamersyde lol. I've already mentioned Blim Blim in previous post. My point is that Sony have typically released less compressed footage captured at a higher resolution to sites like Gamersyde,
We're discussing CDPR bahviour, not how Sony does things. As you know, in the past CDPR did release uncompressed footage and screenshots to Gamersyde.
This time they haven't.
Is it overly sensitive to think there just might be a reason behind this apparent change?
but haven't done so recently. It's not a situation exclusive to CDPR & CP2077.
That logic is very peculiar.
To gauge this instance one compares it with past instances, not Sony's track record, mind you, but CDPR's. And what do we learn? We learn that CDPR have released crisp uncompressed footage every single time.
You'll just have to consult with someone from Gamersyde as to why.
No, the question is actually to be addressed to CDPR: Even, let's go with the absurd, even if Gamersyde had refused to host the crisp footage, CDPR could have easily distributed it via other outlets, all of which would give their right harm to get those waves of clicks.
