Watching a twitch stream of the PS4 version right now and the dude died. Could have went and made a cup of tea in the time it took for the game to reload. Fingers crossed this will not be a problem for us if we install on SSD. Oh and the music in game was smashing.

It's like they were building a bridge and now people are dying because of their poor job ._.
It's the Internet, why am I surprised.

Looks lovely to me, but god the twitch chat is draining my will to live, turn that off is highly recommended for all who want a peek

I don't think the more sales argument is what is going on, sure some wont buy it on PC but a lot of people are simply going to get the console version so it isnt a lost sale.

It is whether or not microsoft/sony are paying/demanding parity so there machine doesnt look naff.

this looks great

Did someone really just say are we boycotting? lol!
This will be a game of the year contender. Why would anyone want to miss out on that? Nearly all the reviews are between a 9 and 10. I cant wait personally. Im more excited for this than I was for Bloodborne.

some good news hopefully

The Witcher 3 – XML Will Let You Enable Sharpening – “Uber” Terrain, Textures & LOD Options Found

Anyhow I am bored of listening to people whine if you believe it to be a massive downgrade then don't buy it.
It's up to you show what you think with your money and its the only way you have to show what you think of a company's product.

Nope! i cant wait for this, had my collectors edition pre ordered since june last year. If the graphics arnt what they were supposed to be who cares.
It still looks great! graphics arnt the only important thing for me.

I think the internet will actually be more likely to implode if The Division is even remotely close to what we were shown in the announce trailer, I'd be very surprised if there's anyone who really believes Ubisoft will actually deliver!!

Means more sales on console rather than PC = more profit

surely if you had more pc sales than console, you'd have more profit because you wouldn't have as much royalties to pay to microsoft and sony!

Found a very good video courtesy of a chap on neogaf forums - Basically, all of this good stuff has been removed.

Look at the "off" and "on" comparisons. The parts where it shows the effects as "off" are basically what we have now

Such a shame

Oh what could have been if it wasn't for the consoles

- though I will admit, I reckon you would need a couple of 980's just to get 30fps at 1080p if the game looked like it did in the 2013 trailers....but that is what PC gamers want! We want a new Crysis, a technical marvel that we can wow out once we get a system powerful enough to play it! It is a shame for the GPU manufacturers as well because if the game looked like it did back in 2013 I can guarantee they would see a nice little jump in the high end segment. even I would be tempted to get another 980 if the game looked like that!

just found this, as the article says take with grain of salt, we could be surprised upon release.

..Then i also found this.

A forum post from a guy at cdpr basically answering yes to "will the game look as good as it did on early trailers like sword of destiny on high end pc. if it doesn't he'll be caught in a blatant lie.

I'm confused. Is that video showing us options we will have in the PC version? It looks like one of they NVidia videos showing off fancy features.

Nah, I'll probably just enjoy what looks to be a great game.

Don't think anyone knows. the only thing I do know is that I have not seen any recent photo's or videos in which the game looks like that.

Heisenberg · 13 May 2015 at 19:17

It looks like a video made to show different effects. Why would they make that to then remove all the effects. Fingers crossed.

Different effects that have seemingly been gutted from the game apart from hairworks.

Yup, as always consoles are throttling the life out of the PC gaming experience. As I have alluded to in a post in the console section - the current crop of consoles do not perform anywhere near as well as they should in my opinion.

R* are heading in the right direction. There should be a two phase development cycle that allows for the PC version to be tuned and optimised along with addition of better textures etc etc, and GTAV has shown there is an appetite for it, even if there is a longer wait.

Without consoles PC gaming wouldn't be where it is now, it would be quite a bit further back, with worse graphics and probably higher prices.

Consoles aren't throttling anything, they are inanimate objects. Blame developers for being lazy, not consoles.

Same here. Looks like this game is just a console port. But I hope they bring out a HD graphics update.

Nope, it's not a console port as games aren't really ported.

Look at this blatant dodging of the question regarding graphics from their community manager:

What exactly are you suggesting is being dodged?

He said these are just rumours and aren't true. Did you even read it before you started foaming at that mouth?
