Anyone who believes promotional videos re: graphical quality is a loving idiot, see Watch Dogs E3.Roshnak posted:Ok, I see what you were saying. Yeah, the difference is that those effects are intentionally added to try to mimic film and not artifacts of the way that video games are rendered. Yeah phrasing it as VFX devs, even if it is technically their fault, was a poor choice.

The animations are pretty clearly the same for the two foreground characters, and the Hunt King in the back has probably just been changed to another Hunt regular for story purposes. The geometry is mostly the same, even foliage. Depth of Field change is present in the old footage, and removed for the May one. Daylight has been changed but it's possible the cutscene is differently lit based on what time of day it is or just changed for some other aesthetic reason. I don't like that it's not night anymore but I haven't played the game yet so it'd be dumb to flip out about it.

SatansBestBuddy posted:I'm actually more disappointed that it looks like they changed the design for that one guy in the spikey armour. He looks rad as heck in the trailer but just kinda "meh" in the game. Pretty sure that's the King.

I guess his previous armor was a little too fantastical, but his backstory might as well give him free reign to look like he stepped right out of World of Warcraft/Berserk if he wants to. That was some badass armor.

Hope at least some of it made it in game. I'm interested to see what CDPR's stance on this "downgrade" is. They're pretty involved with the community and I'd love to see if they can sate the savage nerds.

Well to be fair, the ones on the left look like zoomed out screenshots from WoW to me. I don't play Wow, so I don't really have any element of reference, but it's what I imagine it looking like.

I had no trouble getting it. And drat this game looks so good. I'm on a 780 and so am just planning to run it at whatever setting gets me 60fps at 1080p and even if that is high or normal I have no doubt this is going to be the nicest looking game I've ever played.

Yeah me too! That image by the way is of various Wild Hunt members as I've definitely seen the first guy in some trailers so I'm assuming all of those armours are for various lieutenants of the King. So with his costume change hopefully they've reused that armour on one of his lackeys.

"Downgrade" is not a part of the development process, it's entirely made-up by people who have never worked in dev and have no idea how anything actually works. Not speaking specifically of our game, but the thing is that promotional stuff is fake, it's always been fake and will always be fake. But it's not like, completely made up bullshit. It's saying, "Hey, this is what we think the game will look like when it comes out, but obviously we can't show you what it will actually look like, because it's not loving done yet." People are taking stuff from *years* before release and getting worked up about downgrade. No, not how it works. Never how it worked, never will work that way. It's not like the movies, where 95% of the movie hasn't even been shot yet, but you've got a couple of scenes or shots that are complete enough to show; a year before a game is released there's *nothing* that can be shown to the general public or even the press. Anytime you are seeing something that far out, that was made for the express purpose of showing it to people. There is no downgrade. I'm not speaking specifically of our company, and actually we've done a really really good job of showing things that *are* representative of the finished product. Though I'm super glad that people are excited enough about this game to get worked up over VFX on reddit or whatever. The game is awesome, it looks awesome, you'll loving love it.

I think the problem that people have is that they consider CDProjekt a small company without a marketing budget. And everyone only remembers the end of W2 development, where the end result actually looked better than the ingame footage rendered for a preview. I'm just glad I don't care that much about graphics.

I wouldn't call it a downgrade, but I do see it like a baseball player calling a home run but only hitting a double or something, yet a man on base made it home anyway. Yeah he was an idiot for pretend he was babe ruth but it still got us a run so whatever.
