Do you think GTA6 and The Witcher 4 will look as good at launch? (Poll)

Yeah, CP 2077 on PS4 is one of the most embarrassing releases of the past decade. It's always a concern when cross-gen time arrive; you run the risk of either lacking an actual audience for your release, or having to compromise too much on tech. It's not an enviable position for any developer to be in for sure. 

RT has much the same issues as UE itself; it's wielded by many as blunt instrument, when it has potential to be implemented in a much more productive and sensible way. Indiana Jones has mandatory RT, it ran quite well by most accounts (but that's built in some form of idTech, I believe).

It was quite a bit worse than embarrassing, deliberate deception to get those million pre-orders cashed in. It's one of the very few games ever taken off the PSN store with refunds given. It led to lawsuits etc. Criminal would be a better word. 

I wouldn't buy TW4 at release for current gen systems, not a chance. It's already on the same path as CP2077, early announcements / 'gameplay' footage to start the hype machine with bullshit trailers. CDPR is putting themselves in the same position again, delay and anger the hype machine or release prematurely, likely with inhuman crunch again and thousands of bugs still to solve.

And now they can blame UE for performance issues.
