Why are people complaining about the lack of next gen update?

[Shocker]

Seeing them side by side the only difference is that the next gen version has more washed out colors, which is a subjective preference. I really don't see what makes it more superior in any way. Some people are making a big deal about this for literally no reason.

they have better updated textures, there are more grass/objects able to be shown. "washed out colors is the only difference" is just factually wrong

I really don't see better textures anywhere.

nope

The next gen update features more foliage variety, a few improved environmental textures, new water rendering, and tweaked lighting in some areas. It's nothing extraordinary, pretty minor stuff actually, but would still be nice to have the update on PC.

I enjoy the game and as you can see in the video there are no upgrades in the new version, just more washed out colors. Every other change is subjective.

you are incorrect. its a pure lie to say there was no improved texture changes. im unsure why you have to lie about something that can easily be proven with facts?

When Goku gets out from his house you can see that the ground is more detailed on the PC version than on PS5. I'm not lying. I have eyes and I saw the video. The next gen version is nothing special at all.

It does make sense. Adding some next gen improved graphics on a system that only has spec is easier (why? cause the testing will need to be done only on that spec and fixes are for that spec only).
For PC, given the wide variety of specs (different cpus with gpu with ram etc.) its harder to add them and make them work for every spec (some will either not work properly or a vendor has problems with rendering specific features, not to even mention the possibility of the features not working at all or displays artefacts or other visual bugs when enabling dlss/fsr/xess).
If they do not add the next gen patch to PC at all, then you might want to raise questions as to why, but if they will add it at a later date, hopefully you will understand why it takes more time to add stuff on PC than on a console.

First of all this has nothing to do with my question. Secondly, the next gen version is not superior. Period. It has more washed out colors, and a little bit different water effects here and there that is also subjective, and that's it. The water on the PC version looks more in line with the art style anyway. I never asked for the mediocre next gen version. It's also complete BS that they have to optimize games for every single hardware combination. Why do you think many 20+ year old games work perfectly on modern rigs? The wast majority of them wasn't even touched and they still work flawlessly. It's because they only have to optimize them for the minimum and recommended specs.

[kripcision]

yeah the difference isnt huge. not a deal breaker in any way. just a difference in water, small difference in textures and some of the foilage is a bit different. still the same game, nothing like how the next gen update for the witcher 3 was.

[Rekkie]

Funny, but I like PC graphic way much better than those ones from PS5.

These Next Gen graphics are kinda,,, Dissapointing, to say the least. And, honestly, it not just barely lives up to it's name, it's just straight up pain for the eyes.

[the shape is wedge-like]

People complaining about this are just trying to find justification for the $1000+ they spent on the GPU alone. Just buy the game and enjoy it, stop being a dork and spend your money more wisely.

A simple solution to this is offer the upgrade as a separate free downloadable dlc like they did FFXV 4k resolution pack or allow users to downgrade like RE2R did with their dx11 non-RT version.

Really there's no excuse.

Here is the reality. The supposed upgrade is not even an upgrade. To me it's pretty much a downgrade with washed out colors.
