to me the question is how long are they expecting this game to last? the other question is isn't this supposed to be a next-gen game?

if they want this game to be viable for years to come they would have made it have the ability to use the stuff that is out NOW. if it cannot handle what is out now what makes you think it will be able to handle the upcoming stuff?

the other question goes along the same line of thinking. how can something be called a next-gen game when it uses something that is 7 years old. it should be using the newest stuff out and having it be able to be ran on the older systems.

it's nothing more than a compatibility mode on your windows programs. if it doesn't work properly they have ports for older versions that can be used. it's not a hard concept, but this staff seems to not be able to understand it.
