That is what devs call "streamline development". Developer don't want to have different builds for each machine 'cause that would require more people,and more people = more money. Basically they have one set of assets(textures,models,animation,etc...) and most of it NEEDS to work on all platforms.In the worst case scenario,they would rezise the textures lower in order to fit consoles RAM(like last gen). In most cases though,they only change IQ features like LOD,AA,AF,Resolution or Framerate cause that doesn't require assets modification. The reason why PC version doensn't look like the teaser is because that would force them to have a build with exclusive assets for PC and other for consoles.And everytime they created a new place in the game they would have to create one version for PC and other for consoles,otherwise people on PC would complaint about quality consistency(aka why place A looks so good and place B looks so flat?). I can understand why they pushed the graphics bad,i really do,but i can't stand for bullshots.
Sony,MS,Nintendo and other publishers like square enix love to announce games too early with Teach demos or "ingame footage" before they actually test to see if that is doable.They need to learn how to keep the mouth shut. |
Just read several "insider" reports that elaborate on what you're saying, I guess its time to accept that these consoles are weak. Honestly the first time its ever felt like this so early in a gen. More then ever I'm hoping someone comes to our saviour, either Microsoft abandoning the Xbox One early for a new backward compatible system or Nintendo doing the unexpected and delivering a beast with the NX. Anyway the game looks merely ok now, if the GPU was the bottleneck for console I think I might be one of those crazy people who would take better graphics over better resolution not that 720p downgrade would have made a huge difference here.
Hopefully at E3 third parties will prove that they can actually deliver next graphics on PS4/X1. So far I've seen a notable but dissapointing half step
