I said it before, and I'll say it again: It's called making a game future-proof, which was very normal for PC games in the past. If you can't play it, you tweak the settings. Simple.
Nope, except for somes few games it never have been like that. Even if sure "pc only game" tend to puch graphic evolution faster because hardware evolve faster.
We can take Crysis1 as exemple, but even for that game, Crytek themself recognized that somes filter / shader / effect wasnt well optimized AT ALL. Explaining why even nowday, it requier a little beast PC to max it out and run it at 60fps++. ( and so far, speaking about the vanilla version even if its still look good, its in the same time kinda outdated )
So releasing a "futur-proof" game, only aviable at full setting in 3-4years for the many and aviable now for somes random PC gamers elitist who spend 5k on their PC every 2years. Its totaly pointless for buisiness.
And even more pointless seeing how the tech / game evolve fast.
Also, as i said, ( nearly like 5-6times ) and many look to have very hard time to understand that.
There is no need to use the lastest "
ultra expensive resources wise effect tech demo only" (=not optimized) to have a awesome looking game. -> look GTA 5 PC, look the Fox Engine, look the CE3 when used for "small univers games", look Alien Isolation.. etc
I'am not sad to not have TW3 look exactly like their "fake" tech demo. I'am more sad because CDPR tricked the player like UbiSoft do with The Division or did with Watch Dogs.
And because they barely spend time on the REAL game.. at see how it look like a 3years old game and how terribad the optimization is....
