Unsure why they went for PS4 though, with these graphics. Surely they could have gone PS3?
Who has a PS3 these days?
I mean, I know like, 80 million people do, but software sales for it are way down. All the press is on the new-gen. The timing is just too late for PS3. You might be able to develop it for both but the way the PS3s architecture works is waaaay different to the PS4/XB1, so it would take a lot of effort (i.e. $$$). Also I get the feeling they're not putting too much resource into optimising this game - most of the time you need to spend lots of energy into squeezing all the power you can out to make the game look it's most shiny.
If you don't set the bar for fidelity so high, you don't have to squeeze so hard. Achieving the same results with the less powerful PS3 would require much more effort.
