Will you buy PS4 Day 1?

You don't seem to know how it works either. It's not unheard of for companies to push the game out fast just because they know it will sell and they don't have to put much effort into making new art assets or really spending much time on it. However, to make better/new games Devs cannot 'take their time on it'. There is such a thing as a deadline, not only does the game have to pitched, but very basic art assets and demos have to be made to then show the sponsors and investors. Those have to be made quickly but still to a high standard.

Once it's gone through the pipeline an by the time it's on the gold disc the deadlines are extremely tight and sometimes over half the assets created for a game are scrapped.

It's not a simple case of 'make this, make that and done'.

And how does this correlate with the fact that EA cut corners on BF4 and there is no other reason for it to be sub-1080p, than lack of optimization. And deadline is strictly business decision - you are not forced to release and it's completely within EA's power and a known practice to delay releases if more polish is necessary. Which clearly was, for BF4, since they failed to remove significant amount of critical bugs.

 

And prototypes for green light were put together 2+ years ago, so I have, yet again, no idea how this correlate with lack of proper optimization and QA for BF4, which is on the complete opposite end of development process.

Initially I planned on it being a day one purchase but I'd love to finish my back log for my ps3 first and I don't have the patience to deal with the software issues we all know will be there on day one
