Forums - Gaming Discussion - Why the Witcher 3 was actually downgraded.

Now I recently found something really interesting in terms of a the witcher 3 downgrade. Just read it: 

So it proves this, the next gen consoles where far to weak. Microsoft and Sony should've accepted a hit to their profits and make the consoles more powerful. I agree with the Witcher team here, the consoles where just to weak to provide an experience everyone hoped for.

Of course the next gen consoles are too weak. Anyone that thought otherwise just didn't want to accept the truth.

I've been saying that people are overestimating the next gen consoles power too much for a long time now.

People need to stop hoping for PC-like quality on consoles, because it's not going to happen because PC is advanced in every way. That's not to say that consoles don't get great quality ports, they do and they still look amazing, i'm just saying though. 



I don't care. The Witcher 3 is an awesome game and the graphic is good.

I don't either (it looks awesome on the XB1). Its just so many people are pissed off at this.



Yet it looks better than most games this gen. I don't care for these talks, people always underestimate consoles every gen but the developers always find ways to solve problems and improve graphics along the gen.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

No amount of downgrade (obvious from footage) can take away from my enjoyment of the game. But yes, the consoles are fairly weak and most PCs wouldn't fare too well either. There's not much they could do to be honest.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Really good looking game.

They didn't have the resources to optimise completely on Console AND PC. That's the problem. Consoles do not 'hold games back' it means they have to spread their resources more finely. If the game was a PS4 exclusive it would look better than it does now on PS4, but it would be ridiculous to say 'PC is holding PS4 back'.

If developers can afford to fully optimize on all platforms this wouldn't be an issue and no one would be 'held back'. Anyone complaining needs to sit down and enjoy the beautifully crafted experience CD Project Red created.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Personally, another 2 years I think would have done the job (at least for the average PC). As for consoles, well I don't know about that.



Yeah, it's from here

its not a totaly new chipdesign, they  cant learn so much because they allready know so much.

the biggest problem is that the consoles are just to weak in comparison with mid level PCs.  the ps3 and xbox 360 were alot stronger than those

pcs, this gen is weaker than normal budget gaming pc.

 

we will see massiv problems with the CPU,  its just bad, but intel isnt makng the kind of chips they wanted for the consoles
