102020393023445948594 2,223 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 And, when you DO prioritize PC, you're being ANTI-CONSUMER. Especially now that PS5 is more powerful than every PC, there's no excuse to target PC as a base spec for your game, when PC's vary to such an extreme degree. For instance you have supercomputers, PS5-level PC specs, medium specs, low specs, and at the bottom, Lemij's Pentium 2 PC. the smartest way to make a technically demanding game is to 1) prioritize Playstation (market leader and highest specs) and 2) create a Switch-specific version with extra features and time added to development to offset the technical limitations of switch hardware. This would take care of 90% of the market. then, if you have the time, 3) down-port to plethora of low-spec Xbox console variations for an extra 10-15% marketshare, but this really isn't necessary since so few xbox owners buy retail games or even really care for games at all (They just rent on gamepass). 4) PC should then come last, it's a hazardous platform and has been known to sink development quality time and time again, Cyberjunk being a prime example. I'd like to ask CD Defekt: From now on, don't even bother developing for PC. The platform is losing support by the day, and really doesn't warrant the resources. Tl;DR: PC as lead platform will sink any project and is a lost cause from the start 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Long Ball Larry 1,378 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If it was PC quality on consoles it would still have been a flop. Game has some major issues that aren’t fixable IMO. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this opens their eyes and they are very careful with the Witcher 4, it should be a PlayStation 5 exclusive to maximize a closed ecosystem. CD Defekt needs to never make another PC game again. that's the best option for them. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Impossible 587 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Ugh, I agree with Bodycunt. I said this a few times but they should have put priority on the console versions first. This is the the last big holiday for the ps4 and XB1 which have substantial userbases. The new consoles are launching and people want a new game to with their new consoles. They could have then spent the post release time working on the PC version to take advantage of the hardware. It's so fucking simple it's maddening. Yes, PC gamers would be whining their asses off because their PCs give them some sad amount of pride but it's better than what they got. Link to post Share on other sites

Even if true, it would be the smarter way to go. They would barely lose any PC sales and this was the last ps4/Xbox1 holiday, so it wouldn't make sense vice versa, and releasing all versions didn't work, so what else is there? I know you're retarded but give me a break. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyberjunk maybe, but not Witcher 3 Witcher sold 43% on PC and 57% of its sales on consoles. 38% of sales were on PS4 PC only became the overall leading platform with a big spike with the Netflix release in 2019 Link to post Share on other sites

JonDnD 3,032 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Im 6 hours in on PC and have not experienced any bug except for a glitch in my movement and it lasted like 3 seconds.

JonDnD 3,032 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Though i havent seen anything groundbreaking in this game so far. I feel it should have worked on base consoles as well as any other big AAA game. But if they couldnt get it working, the should have scrapped it. PC version is fine so far. Curious to as when ill get these crazy bugs tho Link to post Share on other sites

Substatic 484 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) TC is trolling but it's actually due to CDRP trying to do both last and next gen consoles, none of the issues appear to be PC related. Edited December 31, 2020 by Substatic Link to post Share on other sites
