For the majority of time since the game was revealed they been showing the PC now we see PC and PS4 well its because both represent the game best.
However I don't think they be showing PS4 footage to represent the consoles unless both versions looked close.
So that's good news for Xbox One fans who are wondering.
 
So clearly meant to put Xbox owners at ease, so they don't worry.



Lol, it really feels like they are marketing a PC game, that oh by the way is also coming to consoles. I don't know, whether we end up getting Xbox footage or not, I may cancel my preorder next week. My hype level has dropped considerably, partly because of the completely unnecessary hoopla around console footage, and partly because I've recently been having a great time playing through my 360 backlog and don't really need a new game right now.
 
So was that the Xbox One version on Conan? It looked pretty good.

Yeah, I guess that is Xbox One footage. They show the box, and he's holding an X1 controller.
 
That was great, probably the funniest one yet and there have been some good ones. I do think that was PC footage though, not saying it can't be xbox one but that's the only time I've ever seen him use a wired controller on a new gen game, they do have a marketing deal with MS so showing the box really doesn't mean anything.

I watched it when it was on Conan and at times the framerate looked like it was more than 30fps... Not sure if recording it off screen at times can cause that? I didn't see anything visually where it couldn't have been running on the X1 other than brief moments of an unusually high framerate.

Yeah I'm not saying it isn't based on what was on screen but more so because he was using a wired controller. Being that CDPR hasn't shown the the X1 version of the game in almost a year it just doesn't make much sense that they'd pick the highest profile mainstream coverage they could get and show it now instead of the best looking version of the game which is the PC.

I don't recall them ever using a wired controller while doing those reviews, but I haven't watched many of them to begin with. I honestly didn't think the game looked all that great from what was shown is why I wouldn't be surprised if it actually was the X1 version...

Yeah, it's about time they showed some Xbox One footage. But it looked pretty much the same as the PS4 footage...good looking but not great.

Good catch. I didn't even pay attention to the controller.

Who knows? I guess we'll find out here next week one way or the other.
 
Conan's clueless gamer. Funny. Some minor early story spoilers.


I think we now know why we haven't seen X1 footage. It was saved for this bit. LOOKS FANTASTIC!

Edit: Saw the tweet.... :mad:
 
I saw this on the CDPR forum....it's better than nothing, and now i'm done with complaining too. Time to have some fun and play some great games:

Something calming: The cdp dev from the german facebook page, wrote in the comments that the xbox one version looks virtually identical to the ps4 version and there should be footage before release.
 
Now I'm even suspicious of why they're hiding the X1 version.

I don't think anyone should be surprised. That is the norm.

Pretty much proves my point and highlights how dumb this thread is.

Personally, I think the best way a thread should roll is where gamers put their game in their respective consoles and talk about he game play, the game hints and tricks, achievement help, the storyline. It is rare to see that kind of discussion happen in these threads, even after the game has released. It's usually a pixel contest these days.
 
I haven't decided what system I am going to get this for or if I am getting it at release at all, so to any of you folks playing the game early, I need some feedback!


I know you're out there...

Yeah, if that is the PC version, the PS4 and X1 version will be embarrassing.
 
Oh god, we're back to this already? Keep this crap in the other thread. You guys are making me not even care about the game anymore.

p.s. Moved another 30-some posts. Hopefully, all this obsessing about visual differences will stop, or at least slow down, once the game is out. The reviews are coming in 4 days, and that should help, too.
