ThePunishedSnake: http://whatifgaming.com/developer-insider-the-witcher-3-was-downgraded-from-2013-list-of-all-features-taken-out-why So first there was no downgrade, now CDPR admits the downgrade and explains why there's one?
Really, CDPR, you screwed up some things with Witcher 3, and I'm not referring to the downgrade.
I think they'd rather avoid admitting that they downgraded, though the parity has been known for a while, which is a shame. I guess the physical release deals stated that they should get the console versions out at the same time so they went with the terms of a console instead terms of their vision and pc.
Although this is a rumour which should be taken with a grain of salt, the lack of real PC screens is worrying, and I'd personally would like to see the Live game, before condemning CDPR, albeit the evidence is showing beyond reasonable doubt.
I wonder if they would release the 2013 assets rumoured in your link as a mod, so PC gamers could mod the game to closely resemble the original vision.
Saddest part is that they are either unable or unwilling to state what is the truth behind these matters.
