The downgrade is massive. Such a pity it was all bullshots It's not like this downgrade changes my decision to buy the game, but damn, the first version looked so much better!

If i had to guess, the 2014 trailer was pre-rendered using in-engine graphics, whereas the "downgrade" comes from texture pop-in and differences in lighting. A better comparison would be the snips of gameplay footage from 13 and 14 compared to footage of the live game.

But we'll be able to see that in a few weeks to really know.

This!  Seriously people, this.  However, I doubt the entirety of the 2013 E3 trailer was prerendered, probably just that opening segment since they wanted a very specific set of circumstances for that one shot where as here in this presentation that wasn't a concern.
