The graphics update has me worried it will leave some PC and PS4/Xbox users behind

Like my title says, I am very worried about this upcoming graphics update. Not all of us can afford to upgrade our PCs, or a PS5/XboxS so what will happen to us? Can we get some reassurance from BHVR that this is being taken into account?

    it was just an intentional exaggeration to say people want to run current games on the old configurations they own. It's disngenuous want to prevent the company from modernizing and evolving to the present day because someone doesn't have something. The world is dynamic and everything needs to evolve. I'm going to ask Rockstar to dowgrade the GTA 6 quality because my PC certainly won't run it. Do you see how absurd that is? The game can't remain stuck in the past.

    Except this is a 2016 game, not a 2027 game.

    Yeah and I may Quit DBD if they discontinue The Switch. Im not gonna put my time in another console just to keep playing. I spent 3 Years Getting my Unknown up To P100 and im not gonna spend 3 more years getting him back up there.

    Also I highly doubt that they will. Because it might result in losing a great chunk in there player base.

    But it will result in huge Delays in Updates on multiple platforms

    That's what the cross progression is for

  • It's bizarre to see people arguing against graphical improvements and game improvments. It's no secret that technology becomes obsolete quickly; doesn't anyone consider this? Instead of just complaining, people should organize themselves and upgrade when the time comes. If this isn't a priority for them, or if they don't want to spend money on it because of a game, the fault doesn't lie with the company that wants to evolve. People are acting as if they're starving and don't even have money for food. Save your weekend expenses, your fast food, etc., reschedule your spending, and upgrade in a year and a half. If you can't do it now, there's still time. Will people organize themselves? No, they just want to complain. There's plenty of time to reorganize; will they do it? No, they'll spend on nonsense, and when the change comes, they'll just grumble.

  • Their comments at the event re DBD2 seem to indicate they know the game is dated. Their reasoning for not going the DBD 2 route is sound (and appreciated) but the fact that they were considering it shows they want to meet modern standards. They could give us a 2027 game in the form of DBD 2, but instead they're giving us the next best thing by evolving this one instead.

    Not everyone has the game on more than one platform nor the financial states to get another platform. That's the entire point of this thread, which you seem to have missed.

    You seriously cannot spare 20 bucks (game routinely goes on sale for 5) for a game you have been playing for 3 years?

    You need to keep in mind that the PS5 came out in Nov 2020. That was almost 6 years ago. How long would you expect a game to support a legacy console? We are probably only a couple of years out from a PS6 announcement.

    It will be announced and released next year, probably late 2027.

    Sony Console cycles are 7 years.

    2006 for PS3

    2013 for PS4

    2020 for PS5.

    You seem to misunderstand that for some it's not just $20. Even cross progression doesn't go both ways with Nintendo. If you are on Switch, Nintendo won't let your DLCs transfer. Not a problem if you are going from PC to PS5 or Xbox or whatever. But if you are coming from Nintendo, nope.

    Fair enough, i was more of an xbox and nintendo person for consoles after the PS2 since xbox had online and system link play, though now i mostly play PC and have a PS5 for a few console exclusives.
