This thread has got me rewatching the early footage a lot, and I'm noticing quite a few little technical hiccups I didn't pick up on at the time, which have since been smoothed over. Just typical "unfinished build" type stuff like glitches and placeholders that don't really show up in screens, but in motion are jarring. That's why I don't really see the overall product as having been downgraded; some elements clearly have been, but the more I watch the original footage I notice flaws that are conspicuous by their absence since around E3 2014.
