I really wish that would happen, but from what Miles said, I think they feel obligated to “not leave anyone behind” and so lastgen base consoles will be dragging the game down for good, including the expansions. I really hate their decision to release it there instead of delaying the game further and making it nextgen only.
PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbone, Xbone X, PS5, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, Stadia, PC.
9 different SKUs, I do not envy the programmers and QA.
The modders couldn’t fix the map streaming rate which the minimap relied on and was why a significant chunk of the expanded (modded) minimap was blank or blinked.
I selected to have the game shipped to me, but apparently you have to physically walk into a Best Buy store to get the steelcase. So I’m debating if it’s worth the drive.
It was apparently a heroic effort to increase the minimap zoom level on the last generation consoles, because of memory limits. That’s why they made such a big deal out of it.
Once they get it somewhat bug free, they really should just pivot to an ‘Enhanced Edition’ like the Witcher and leave last gen consoles behind. They can’t keep developing if every tiny tweak is a herculean task.
Yeah; I honestly wonder how much of the struggles and delays stem from having to engineer for older platforms. I totally get the desire to sell to as many people as possible, but perhaps it was an overreach for a game like this.
