He is right. Lots of things in the demo that people are focusing on should improve a lot.with around 4 months until this ships the polish isn't going to happen even with a day-1 patch.
Grass popping off screen? Just a simple culling issue. Unless they are doing something funky, the fix is just increasing the bounding box.
Grass and geometry draw distances? Again very simple to improve down the line. Doesn't mean they'll be great, but they will be improved.
Fog pop in? Don't know what is causing that but it's just a bug.
Game will not become a next gen showcase but it can def get another layer of polish.
The hardest thing though is that the game looks nice. I want to play it. People would not be mocking these graphics if it was a smaller studio with an unknown ip. The problem is that for ~2 years, this game has been pushed as a tour de force for Microsoft and next gen.
