This is why I'm not all that impressed with the snippets of gameplay they showed off for FFXV PC edition, because half the textures looked muddy and rather low res, especially that mini boss mob with the scarred eye. His horn and skin decal detail looked like it was ripped from current gen systems, rather than being remade from the ground up.

Take that with the lack of improvements to the game's LoD and object render distance. The only things that stand out on the PC edition are the fluffy Nvidia hair strands (which will likely eat up a ton of GPU power, despite there being little fluff in that game) and a few texture details (rather than all the texture details).

I don't see SE pulling out all the stops for the XV PC port, just like they didn't with Nier. A lot of AAA companies hardly bother pulling out all the stops for consoles and for PC, as to them it doesn't make extra dosh for putting in that pinch more effort. To me, going that little extra mile would make me want to replay the game over and over, as well as talking more about it to others, but because most of them go with the low effort approach, I find little to gush over as it's all about cutting corners with game development to them. 



Nier: Automata, was an assault on my eyes.
I can go back into the game to get some more screenshots if you want.
Currently I only have these four; they are not remotely near the lowest lows that game hits.

An assault on your eyes? How do you manage to play early 3D PC games then?
