I'll tell you this with a straight face. The 2018 picture is using a different shader and blurred altitude effects. Probably to cut down in rendering with PS4. That's my take in it any way. Regardless, it will be fine.

All things most likely true. For example you see a lot more detail at a distance in 2016 (the trees, cars, etc) while 2018 uses a depth of field blur to most likely reduce the strain on the hardware.

I know limitations need to be put in place, but that's why I'm a little annoyed in the first place. They showed us stuff 2 years ago that even at the time I thought "no way is the final game going to look like that."

Every texture on that roof and removed pipe+smoke, that's also "different shader and depth of field blur to hide things in the distance", too?
