Out of the loop, what happened?

An old gameplay trailer showed a puddle on the floor. A new trailer showed the puddle was smaller. Some people said Insomniac was downgrading the game just like Watch Dogs and want their heads on spikes.

EDIT: Even if they had to make graphical concessions in order to improve performance/gameplay I think it's funny how many people are vehemently upset by this.

There's no downgrade, in fact the game looks better in many ways than the old build.

Many more shadows:

Spidey suit now looks like cloth, not rubber:

Same, I consider the updated look to be a downgrade

EDIT: when people disagree with a harmless comment so they downvote it.... reddit logic sigh

I don't think you can call it a downgrade, aesthetic change is more accurate and imo it's up to personal preference.
