No, never implied that it should. I'm saying they changed the time of day to lower the graphics a bit. Like I said the game still looks great, and I honestly think I prefer the 2014. Never been much of a graphics whore so I honestly don't care.

ahh True, I guess we'll see. Either way I think the game looks great.

Dam that's huge, I remember people telling me, Sony exclusives get better as time goes on they dont get worse, looks like I was right.

It happens.. When you wash your clothes an entire year they'll always loose color and its freshness.. It get duller.. Should have used a better washing powder..

Did ANYBODY actually read the source article?

=========
One thing is for sure, I had quite a lot of hands-on time with the game just two days ago, and it looks absolutely stunning. You can expect my preview very soon.

Update: Since some will take every possible chance to flame (or to be overly defensive), I feel compelled to clarify something: Not once the article mentions a “downgrade” or an “upgrade,” and that’s because there isn’t ground to mention something like that. The article mentions differences, and there are indeed differences in lighting, time of day and environmental design. In addition to that at least a scene has been changed in its content. The comparison is not about quality and visual fidelity. It’s a simple before and after face-off to show how a game evolves in nine months of development.

“Difference” does not mean downgrade. It doesn’t mean upgrade. It means “difference.” That’s all there’s to it. The scene portrayed simply looks radically different. It doesn’t look necessarily worse or better. Just different.

Update 2: Sucker Punch firmly denied that any visual downgrade has been made since the E3 build.

are serious judging the quality based on compressed youtube screens? seriously?  

What does Snow White have to do with this?  Or the letter F, for that matter?  What are you trying to say?  Don't be afraid, just come out and say it.

How is it that the gif looks worse then youtube vids ? those are already shit nuff comapred to reality. 

The cut-scenes are in engine. What you see will be pretty much what you get. I'll take shots from my PS4 when I get it to prove it.

Nothing is final until you see a finished version of the game.
