My 4 am 'no PC announcement' fueled shitpost is a thread. Fuck.
Look, it's honestly understandable why they had to do that in the demo. Everything is cut down because its a single area. Everything outside the citadel is probably built like the Destiny Islands town in KH2 or a Smash Brothers stage: loads of 2D assets and scale fudging. As soon as you break through the floor a message pops up and they take you back, no loading. This area is way more optimized than Duscae's several miles long expanse. High poly versions of anything outside that area are most likely not in this demo.
Not to mention, you're really not supposed to be up that high. These assets weren't built for it back then, much less now. I dunno why they left that function in this demo. If you can in fact step right outside the citadel in the actual game, it will definitely look better.
LOD scaling for performance reasons is also something to be considered regarding content inside the actual arena.
Granted, there is plenty to complain about in regard to many of the other technical aspects and shortcomings of this demo.
