Really is mixed bag. From an art stand point I think they improved some things for sure. Delsons face for example looks slightly tweaked in a good way in terms of looks but if you zoom in on detail he clearly took a hit technically with less skin texture detail.

Also certain things like shadows took a huge hit. They may have been a little too overpowering in the earlier trailer but now they are nearly non existant.

It looks like Sucker Punch were forced to downgrade the game from a technical point of view but made some pretty great artistic choices to help cover it up.

My biggest issue is the retail version is noticably blurrier.

lol shadows didnt just take a hit they gone XD

If you go watch some of the recent gameplay it seems likely that part is due to the time of day. Without a direct source of strong light (which none of the screen in the 2014 version seem to have), the light becomes lightly spread. In gameplay where there is a strong single point light source (such as the sun :p), the shadows are back.

Yep. Just speaking about the shots in OP.

The gameplay vids still look good to me.
