But breh, this game started development in 2013, literally the start of last gen. There was no “next-gen” hardware for which to optimize it. They literally had only last gen hardware as a guideline. This is totally on them.
You realize this thread was created in 2013? two years before the witcher 3 even came out.
Next gen dev kits have been around from 3-5 years. They could have abandoned this generation or took the bold stance to develop only for this generation. The game has literally been in development this long solely because of the number of platforms they've had to develop for.
The problem is, development proved this game was too optimistic for the current generation so it would have been a fraction of the game we expect to get - whenever we actually get it.
This would have been an easier decision to make if there was an established cut-off.
