Your blind persistence in defending Nintendo at every step, even when it's totally unnecessary, is amazing. As of late, nothing in this forum brings me more joy than your posts Keep it up!

 

When it comes to these screens I believe that comparing this to ps3 vs ps2 versions of the same game is the best way to describe the downgrade. It's less glaring in the rest of the video, but it's still there. Pity. Would be incredible if they managed to keep that level.

There's where I have would step in and disagree.  There's no evdence of downgrade or reduced quality elsewhere.  Some aspects have seen upgrades, like a wider use of fog and godrays and more examples of dense foliage.  While this one shot shows a blurry floor texture, other shots show perfectly fine textures that look exactly like those.  The exterior lighting is the same or better throughout the presentation.  LODs are better.  The list goes on.  This one shot is an anomaly in the presentation and not representative at all.  That people are obsessing this much over less than one minute of video without considering the other 28 is just sad.

In my personal opinion every single scene in the video from the OP shows a bigger or smaller downgrade, not just this one screen. It's very clear near the end when the Doll is starting up.
