TW2 got a makeover ?
The graphics were more or less always as good as they are now.
AC is basically COD now.
Keep on milking. After AC2, it felt like they just wanted to keep iterating on the same damn thing - making the assassin able to jump twice as far, and kill twice as many people every game.
Sailing and ships can only go so far to cover up the fact that the core gameplay - the parkour, the combat is often just plain boring.
By this point, I couldn't even care about the parkour. The animations look nice, but what's the ...
Are you kidding me ?
Who the hell cares ? If they don't include female characters there's a shitstorm. If they do, this ?
Honestly, no one cares. Assassin's Creed is the same with a male or female protagonist. This isn't an RPG.
If they want to include one, let them. If they don't, that's fine too.
Making issues out of non-issues.
Why ?
Nvidia hairworks is Nvidia technology, designed specifically to work on NV hardware.
Ofcourse they aren't going to optimize it on AMD hardware.
It's unfortunate that the PC version isn't being used to it's full potential, but
1) 60fps is sooo much better. Just watch youtube PC videos. What a difference
2) Resolution. You really think higher resolutions don't add much to the experience ? Think again.
3) Draw distance and image quality, anti-aliasing. Whatever said and done, all make a HUGE difference in final image quality and visual experience.

What does it have to do with being happy ? Everyone will enjoy the game, regardless of downgrade.
However, if their has been a downgrade for the sake of parity, then that is sad. From a graphics point of view, it is unfortunate period. Nothing will change that.
"Stop whining about graphics and enjoy game"
"You're never happy"
All of these things people say are completely irrelevant. We're not stupid, we kn...
Why not give users the options for more grahpical features ?
So what if most people can't run all of them. Let them choose what to enable. Let them choose what resolution. Let them choose what framerate they're ok with.
No one was ever hurt because of extra options for graphical features.
Well, in the case of Crysis, it was the gameplay, simulation and complexity that suffered the most. That was the biggest problem, in fact.
reduced processing power means limited gameplay as well.
I do agree with what you're saying, but just adding this in there as well.
If there's a downgrade on PC, its parity that needs to be blamed.
If they did remove features even when they could have left them on PC, that's really bad.
"Well, blame the millions of players playing the consoles as well then. "
I agree. However, you have to understand, often times its not about bashing consoles, it's just the fact that many games have lost their potential because of console.
This includes the...
Not too happy with the graphics options menu to be honest. There's just a few sliders and that's it. Where are all the other usual options ? Oh well...
On the bright side, you can customize almost EVERYTHING about the HUD and stuff. That's absolutely brilliant. You can remove enemy health bars. You can remove the quest pointer thing, rescale the hud etc etc. I know lot of PC gamers going to be really happy about that.
lol
Some youtubers have it enabled in the videos they recorded. You can watch those. It does look pretty good.
Certain PC fanboys don't like the fact that the PC version is missing features that we saw earlier in trailers and the 35 minute demo. It's that simple. None of us are angry because you're getting a good experience. Stop making us out to be jerks.
If the PC version is missing those features for the sake of parity, then it's bad. CDPR should get some flak for it. Parity for the sake of "We want the same experience on all platforms" is just bullshit....
No blood on water ? Oh right, they removed that -_-
Still looks pretty damn good though. It's actually one of the best looking games I've seen in some respects
That's absolutely necessary. Given the density of bushes and trees, combat and navigation would be impossible without this feature.
You'd keep losing your character behind branches and bushes, and have no idea what he's doin in combat.
This argument doesn't work.
We're not comparing trailers and gameplay. We're comparing the 35 minute gameplay demo from 2014 to recent PC 'ultra' footage. Some things have been downgraded. I'm not just saying that because I vaguely like the way it looked before.
If you analyze it you can see that certain things are downgraded/ removed even.
Downgrade is as quite clear, and we have insider information that prettymuch confirm...
A downgrade on a platform for the sake of parity is bad and retarded. People should complain about it.
"Play games and stop giving graphics so much importance."
That's not the point. Everyone shouting downgrade knows graphics aren't everything. They will also play the game and enjoy.
Doesn't change the fact that there is a possibility of a significant downgrade because "we want the same experience across all platfor...
'Downgraded ? Not a chance'
From when ? If you're comparing it to the 35 minute demo we got in 2014, then yes, it's been downgraded. That's not me being whiny about the visuals.
It's just that specific features which were present before are gone.
That's fine on console. What bothers people is that these options weren't retained on PC either. Parity for parity sake is plain retarded.
Second, why is the arti...
I think thats how the grass always looked - in shadow.
If you remember looking at the more recent screenshots where it was overcast, with no direct sunlight. The grass looked pretty good there. In sunlight, it tended to look weird.
When there is direct sunlight on the grass, that's when that bad effect you are talking about seems apparent. Maybe they've changed that, but this video doesn't tell.
Well I'm a sucker for screen space reflections :P
No, I didn't see your comment. What did you say ? I'm really sorry, I made a bunch of comments on a bunch of graphics related articles in my 'pissed' state of mind. Needless to say, it's a crime to talk about downgrade on N4G (and fair enough). I don't feel like sifting through all the comments condemning me for it :P
You know what really sucks though ? no more blood on water. Out ...
If the PC version has been downgraded for parity, then yes, it's sad, and CDPR should get flak for that.
However, what does this have to do with this thread lol. This has nothing to do with downgrade. On top of that, this doesn't even have anything to do with the PC version.
This comment has no place here.
