This what people are up in arms about. There is a very obvious difference between the two photos regardless of the puddles.

This image also came out showing there was less detail in some animations than previously showed, again there is a pretty obvious difference between the two.

Insomniac and it's employees have stated there was no downgrade and that it was just a lighting change and a removal of a puddle.

The game looks fucking great my god you people are annoying and no wonder game devs hate the community.

How DARE people be upset that a VIDEO GAME looks different than when it was showcased! Especially after the likes of companies like ubisoft, who are notorious for this kind of behavior.

Jokes aside, the so called "hate" for it is well overestablished. People are not as "up in arms" as some are making it out to be. However, there is very obvious downgrades to the visual fidelity of what they've shown. Sure, it's not Ubisoft levels of fuckery, but it IS there.

But the game looks incredible still if anything spider man looking all glossy looks shittier.

Irrelevant. Watch Dogs 1 at E3 and Watch Dogs 1 at launch, both on their own, look "incredible" for the time. However seeing as they're both supposed to be the same game, it's ridiculous how much it's different. No one is saying the game DOESN'T look good. People are simply saying it looks downgraded, even if ever so slightly. And there's nothing wrong with making sure companies give what is promised at launch. This is something we've been lacking the past few years.

No one is talking about that shit game why bring it up? They aren't even made by the same dev sorry but insomniac makes great games and they've never done anything like EA or ubisoft plus it's a playstation exclusive I think anyone bitching about this dumb shit doesn't have a ps4 and is just butthurt because they cant play it.

You are incredibly ignorant and are the reason console users get such flak. Jesus christ.

THEN JUST DON'T BUY IT DUMMY!!!

Seriously though, why can't we acknowledge there is graphical difference and have a discussion about it? Most of the outrage I'm seeing is directed towards people just trying to talk about it.

Exactly. The post I saw about it was just people talking about the differences (which is very clearly more than just some puddles disappearing, but that was the easiest thing to notice). Suddenly it's "OMG PEOPLE ARE FURIOUS ABOUT LESS PUDDLES" And the reaction to that is "don't buy it"? What the actual hell lol

Because there is no proper proof there is a graphical difference as other people have showed differences to where current actually looks better graphically.

Instead of going off of a couple screenshots with different lighting maybe wait for a proper comparison between E3 footage and new. Going off of screenshots with lighting differences is not smart.
