Unless we're already in Orwell's "1984" with the Thought Police
You would be surprised how close we are to Orwels masterpiece when you open the eyes. More and more censorship of "not official sources", massive efforts from gouverments are done to get rid of cash, and get simultanious digital currencys running and under controll, restricting traveling and binding to to a QR code/poison jab because of a ridiculous flu blown up to a pandemic, a cursade against individual traveling in the name of the alleged climate change.

Sounds lovely right, for every point I have said I could name example alone from the EU, and don'T even talk about China.

It would be nice but won't bother me either way, it's unlikely to be the full chapter and I don't waste my time with beta's, knowing how Ocean works, if it is only a beta, there will be a number of changes for the final chapter release. That's when I'll dive in.
I get you but after all this time I will gladly take this beta x)

Considering in the beginning of this dev cycle Ocean said WIAB update will come out faster than ch 2, i won't hold my breath for faster releases ever.
He is the type of dev who facing the release faster VS make updates bigger and "better" question, will always pick the latter. Always.
Maybe He's indirectly implying that this is the fastest he can do

I also thought that Ocean was fighting for quality, but SG 5 convinced me otherwise. Many dark pictures appeared where it is very difficult to see what is drawn there. Perhaps this was a failed experiment by Ocean with graphics. I hope this won't happen here.

I'm not quite sure what are you exactly talking about, because I have not encountered renders that would fits into the category " it is very difficult to see what is drawn there " No offence meant, but, can it be that your graphic settings are wierd, or you playing a screwed up comperssed version?

Or it is simply the time of the day where the scenes are playing, most of the scenes are in the evening and or even inside with a dimmed lighting.

Go to the SG forum, they have already written about this several times and compared pictures. There is even a comparison of old pictures that Ocean replaced after the rework with new, darker ones. At the same time, it is unclear why he did this, because the old ones look better than the new ones.

Post some examples of old renders that look better than the new ones.

What’s stopping you from going to the SG forum yourself to find and read? You should rewatch chapter 5; there are a lot of dark, low-quality shots there. Like when Bella teaches MC how to drive or when Bella's head goes through the glass etc......

I am sorry to say, but you're flogging a dead horse by engaging with this user. They simply troll the SG and WIAB threads saying how bad the games are, all because Ocean took their candy away a few years ago.

Specifically - they have an axe to grind on how bad Ocean's renders are. It's actually comical to read, given the most common compliment people have for both games is how good the renders are since the reworks. I'm almost looking forward to hearing about all the bad lighting in Wiab CH3 in the nightclubs or cinema that Ocean has teased :sneaky:
