Well they said the game was completed from last year and since then they are working on performance, bugs and other stuff like that

Not bugs it's dragon age inquisition. They saw what they did with huge maps with unneccesary content so they want to keep up with them. They have probably added more quests and filled maps more crowded after DAI i suppose.

uncompressed trailer

Thanks a lot! it's gorgeous, one of the best graphics i've ever seen, check the cloth in game motion and detail! how can ppl say it's bad wow

That is probably from pc maxed out settings compared to this gameplay trailers they showed unless the game didn'n really get a massive downgrade

Also i give it a thought and maybe they wanted to show pc graphics on par with ps4/xb1 so that console players don't get disappointed so early of the graphical differences between pc and consoles

Ofc these are only my speculations until game release

1 graphics do not make a game
2 skyrim with mods really- have u seen any good ones some of those mods require a hefty setup due to some of them being photorealistic
3 the downgrade isnt that bad, they are trying to apply it to many configurations if they only put it up for the people with hefty pcs they prolly wouldn't make their money back and then kiss cyberpunk goodbye. (pure speculation though)
4 the gameplay is what makes a game. if the gameplay is good people will keep coming back, look at system shock 2 for example.
5 CDPR is known for customer satisfaction for all we know they may release ultra HD PACKS or something
6 this game from the beginning was about STORY. Not graphics.
guys this game isnt out yet, please wait to develop opinions till the game is on your pc in front of you. This is a game thats bigger open world wise then Skyrim with all expansions. Theres still more to do and we dont know what the finished project will look like yet, Square Enix has proved that just good graphics dont sell games. BUt the 30fps thing... ok that freaking bugs me. If they d0 downgrade, why not 60fps? and if they do downgrade like this the system reqs should be lowered drastically.

Don't be mindless, we all are expecting perfect story with perfect(as teasers showed us from devs) visual quality. Why to change now our expectations about this game ? Many games were so-awesome graphics as demos at E3 events, yet when released they were downgraded,why? It's called marketing...

1. graphics do not make a game.
2. the gameplay is what makes a game. if the gameplay is good people will keep coming back, look at system shock 2 for example.

also most of the pax footage that i have looked at is xbone, can u please give me the source of the downgrade.

1 graphics do not make a game

'' It still looks good to me!''
'' I don't play RPG for the graphics''
'' I don't know why pepole complain , it looks amazing!''

sigh so apparently CDPR will not show ultra at all until the game is out and only then.... that now worries me.

sigh looks like textures run across all platforms now... there will be more options on pc but someone may have to mod in a texture pack ... damn it hades im starting to agree with u i ended up buying a whole new pc for this thing and now it seems like it may not be actually needed

BUt the 30fps thing... ok that freaking bugs me. If they d0 downgrade, why not 60fps? and if they do downgrade like this the system reqs should be lowered drastically.
