I'm with the author to an extent. The developers have to show the public something, and often what they show is either placeholder assets or high quality assets that will have to be adjusted later. Now, it was completely obvious from the moment the first trailer was released that the console versions would never look like what they advertised. I mean come on guys, these consoles were outdated the moment they came out.

However, I understand that as a consumer it feels like a bait and switch. Developers need to be more transparent in their videos/imagery about what is and isn't placeholder.

The amount of threads complaining about "downgrades" as of late has really gotten out of line.
