I think Platinum is the kind of company that would like to improve the performance and graphics of NieR, but they can't really afford it without S-E paying them to do it.

After all, they're not charity and they need someone that pays the expenses related to work on an already released game.

Have you seen the textures in the game.
It looks like they just took the PS4 textures (they look pretty bad for a PS4 too), and slapped them in the PC version.
Platinum should have been mastering the game's textures at a much higher resolution / quality.
High res assets should be sitting on a hard drive, in their office.
If higher res assets don't exist, then it is incompetence.

Assuming the higher res textures do exist, Square Enix is most likely at fault.

I haven't payed too much attention to NieR, so I can't really say anything good or bad about the game and its graphics.

That said, it's all about the budget Platinum had. If it was high enough then I agree that they should have worked on better assets for the PC (and Pro & XoX) version, but if the budget was tight then I understand why decided to use the same assets for all platforms and concentrate on other aspects of the game.

Except of course Nintendo fanboys. Their standards are garbage.

Careful there! That's a forbidden word around here, specially with the one you've put before it.
