Why Do The Preview Screenshots Look Nothing Like The Actual Released Map?


Recommended Posts

I agree that screenshots and promotional material should reflect the actual state of the product. (Real screenshots available to the users now, or at the time of release).

However - in saying that - I'm kinda hoping that what is provided is a real screenshot, of behind the scenes development that is currently waiting on Vulkan to be released before it can be delivered to the end user. I get that maybe lips need to be sealed under NDA's, or until there's official confirmation that it can be released. This isn't to excuse that the screenshot should be reflective of what's available now - but just hoping that there is something more to this than meets the eye we're not aware of yet.

This “big update” seems to me to be almost unchanged from the original bad textures, the weeds have been fixed in some places, but most of the airfield textures across the map are still bad!

I asked in OrbX Discord. I got my replies:

I don't complain much about the EA products, and I've enthusiastically purchased quite a few of them. That being said, I can't agree more with the opening sentence above. Show previews of the product in its current state at release. This goes for all products. If the textures are weak... show them with a detailed plan of what is in the works and a honest and realistic date when we should expect those changes. Then, when a major update is released and there are beautiful 4K mountains, airfields and terrain covering the map, "Update" the advertisement/promotional photos and videos. While that might deter some from purchasing products in EA, it might also create an environment where the studios and ED are having to put in the work up front in order to sell their product.
