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.

I don't think that's a fair representation. Many things in the matching part of the trailer were changed to be less detailed, including Spidey himself.

The puddle was notable for being removed completely, the presumption being that they removed it and downgraded a lot of other things because they ran out of time/ money/ fucks to give and things like realistic lighting and rendering reflections aren't easy.
