@asmoddeuss: And people ignore things they don't want to hear ... like ignoring that the video of Murray saying that not all features talked about are going to be there on release. There's only one video where he states this (because he was specifically asked if all features were going to be in at release) from 2015, IIRC. But he did say it. In the other video's, when asked to "describe the game," etc... it looks to me like he was describing the game concept, not what was going to be released. What their vision of what the game would end up being.... not what it currently was.

Now, the screenshots/video's capture the *feeling* of the game (exploration). There is no way to give a representative screenshot. You could take a screenshot, and someone could never see anything like it in the game... would that be a scam because in their play through the engine never generated anything like what you saw in the game? Is it a scam because your screen shot had a blue deer looking thing, and the person only ever saw beige ones when they played, and they really wanted to see a blue deer themselves?

The engine itself is capable of generating those scenes... but it is hamstrung right now. Personally, I don't think the PS4 can handle it... so to give a consistent experience between platforms, everything was lowered to the lowest common denominator for running. Being a small studio, they probably had very little equipment, and most of their testing was done on a Dev PS4 which has a better CPU and more RAM than the consumer PS4.
