CD Projekt RED's Co-Founder talks about the Downgrade Accusation on The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
CD Projekt RED's The Witcher 3:Wild Hunt was acquiring lots of complain because of its initial trailer on 2013 for PC, our fellow gamers are suspecting the game was graphically downgraded based from its 2013 trailer.
"Maybe we shouldn't have shown that [trailer], I don't know, but we didn't know that it wasn't going to work, so it's not a lie or a bad will — that's why we didn't comment actively," Iwinski said. "We don't agree there is a downgrade but it's our opinion, and gamers' feeling can be different. If they made their purchasing decision based on the 2013 materials, I'm deeply sorry for that, and we are discussing how we can make it up to them because that's not fair.
Eurogamer was told by CD Projekt Red that the change amidst the announcement and release was affected because of a couple issues. The multi platform development was involved, with the sluggish specifications of the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 cutting down the PC adaptation. There is something that has been seen before in titles like Watch Dogs there's an ideal model for initial marketing plans, however when the developer takes a seat to truly make the game work, things change radically.
"If you're looking at the development process," CDPR co-founder Marcin Iwinski tells Eurogamer, "we do a certain build for a tradeshow and you pack it, it works, it looks amazing. And you are extremely far away from completing the game. Then you put it in the open-world, regardless of the platform, and it's like 'oh shit, it doesn't really work'. We've already showed it, now we have to make it work. And then we try to make it work on a huge scale. This is the nature of games development."
