EXACTLY. I don't necessarily care that much, since I've seen far worse downgrades (Dark Souls 2 for example), and the gameplay still looks great to me, but people are in denial or something.

Here's a different scene that shows it better IMO. Someone tell me with a straight face that this 2018 scene looks better than what we saw in 2016:

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."

The words "honey dicking" come to mind
