What area does this unlock first?
Because CDPR have already stated this is the case?
No they have not. A CDPR "insider" allegedly said that with no confirmation who he actually was. It also says to take the info with a grain of salt as it cannot confirm the identity of the author of the statement. It maybe is the case that CDPR coded to the lowest common denominator. It still doesn't make it the fault of the consoles and is purely at the feet of the devs.

Surely if the day 1 patch was going to restore the game to its previous graphical quality, they'd be shouting about it to try and keep people happy?
There's so much denial in this thread; "wait and see", "all the screenshots we've seen have been on low settings", "they're console screenshots", etc. but I think that if the PC version on max settings looked like the original shots/videos, or if the day 1 patch was to restore those settings, then we'd have seen some evidence of that by now.
If you had a product that had half of your customers up in arms about it's lack of quality, and you had an answer to those concerns, wouldn't you do everything in your power to alleviate them? Not flat out deny that there was a quality issue in the hope that everyone would just believe it despite all evidence to the contrary?
Given it's now less than 2 days to launch, the PC version must be finished, and the day 1 patch must be at least close to complete - all that would needed would be a video/couple of screenshots showing how the game looks in all it's glory, but instead we have simply a wall of silence punctuated by the occasional denial.
I hope I'll be pleasantly surprised, but due to the above, I have very little confidence in that happening.
I'm not by any means saying it will be a bad game, I'm sure it will be awesome, and I'm looking forward to it, but quite frankly, the responses from CDPR (or lack thereof) are very disappointing.

As for blaming the devs, do you think they want to release something that isn't as higher quality as they're able? Developers are just driven by the publishers, in this case it's the same company, but the actual development team is merely a scape goat.
I understand that, I work in development, and know exactly what it's like when management promise customers the world without consulting my team!![]()
Denial at what? Have you even read what I wrote
My point being that us as PC gamers seem to think the big bad consoles are to blame for everything when without them, the gaming industry would be a fraction of what it is today.
Regards your edit, where have I said the game hasn't been downgraded? Every post I've made in the thread has been condemning the downgrade!
I completely agree.

It's the publishers that foot the bill and are only concerned about the bottom line, just look at EA and Ubisoft for examples of that.

I'm not defending CDPR, I'm clearly leveling blame at them. I am just distinguishing between the development and the publishing arm of the company.
Can we start a new thread on Tuesday that only contains comments on actual PC gameplay?
Andi.
Well we can't exactly discuss gameplay just now can we? We all know the gameplay is going to be amazing, we're just a bit peeved at being lied to.
True, didn't really mean that. I should have said graphics in actual gameplay. Let's separate all this hear say and suggestion.
