Just a tiny bit of scepticism from the community can go a long way to help this company get back on the course many of us feel they strayed too far from.
I must be bored as fuck, I'm still in here.
Okay, Marcin is pretty cool. He thinks I'm nuts, but other than that, cool. THEREFOR, it was a live trailer. At the time. As far as he knew. See how many layers there are already? STILL don't trust trailers! What, this is basic consumer advice I'm giving you here.
Even non-CGI trailers are advertisements. They are! As such, they are designed to replicate optimum conditions on optimum equipment and not worry about framerates.
When you have a $5000 computer running a $1000 monitor AND they engine they used to make that trailer and STILL cannot replicate it, then, yeah, that sounds liek they made shit up. We don't have those things! We -don't- even have the game yet!
Still don't trust trailers. Like, ever. Movies, tv shows, video games, basically any advertising. Even from CDPR.
As for constructive criticism, that's really hard to get in pagesand pages and PAGES of angry posting with words like betrayed, lied to, backstabbed, downgraded, console this or that...where is the constructive part? What are you going to say that the engineers aren't aware of as soon as the first person posts the comparison between the VGX and that horrible reddish shot? I mean, everything after that was redundant.
Criticism has not only not been lacking, it's been frothingly, droolingly, red-eyededly apparent. Message. Received. However, that criticism has also been clumsy, lacking in data, and polluted by prejudice against platforms, control schemes and viewing distances.
I do like CDPR more than the Witcher. Of course! One produces the other! Perspective.
Our community manage isn't infamous - he's famous. Famous for his warm, loving embrace. Hugs for all!
Lastly, "many in the community" is, probably, about thirty? Tops? Who post their anger all over? And say another...120 that don't? That is many...but compared to the many who avoid these threads like the plague they are, still a teensy minority. CDPR hasn't strayed from anywhere they didn't already plan to go. Probably.
A page back in that thread this is what you posted off the net

Though when I get the game I'm more interested in replicating this shot

Oooh! Both excellent. I'd like to try to replicate both, now. Without using filters, of course. Probably too easy then. I'm thinking 4K, of course, Ultra everything and...morning and dusk?
