I think I just don't like that you used the word upgrade in this context, because it implies an improvement, while the use of blur can be very subjective (is it an effect as you said and they require processing power) compared to many technical advancements (higher polygon count, anti aliasing, higher texture resolutions, higher frame rate).
My initial post wasn't fully serious, I'm not bitter about the changes since the 2013 trailer, but I don't see the benefits of motion blur in that scene (the director might). I'd disable any kind of motion blur in games if the settings allow me to do so.

Truth be told I'm not a fan of motion blur either, at least not in instances like this, (I think it works best for arcade racers or in games like Uncharted) I was just saying that it is an additional effect.
