How do you like your puddles?

  • The entire game should take place inside a huge puddle

  • As big as Insomniac's artists want them to be

Yup, I agree. Another example they'll most likely ignore...

Classic gamers.

Anyone got death threats yet? This seems like one of those things that leads to these now, along with some stupid boycott.


EDIT: Nevermind. I've been convinced. I mean, look at this huge downgrade:

I see that the Xbox fanboys found a stupid, very misguided opening to throw their full hate at the game and their inability to play it. They'll be quiet after Tuesday when the reviews hit.

The particular scene was simply changed, as evidenced by other areas that we know are still completely filled by puddles.

That's kind of all Era is good for now, just a laugh, barely any nuanced discussion.

There's no way out, our backs against the wall
From somewhere down deep, overtaken like a storm

We can't take back the words we spoke
The promises we've released

Oh how, oh how we lost it, laid rest to what we once were

Change is sure to come, now that everything's gone wrong
A plea for how it was, before we were overcome

We can't pull back what's overboard
Sink into the black beneath

Oh how, oh how we lost it, laid rest to what we once were

All these walls are closing in
Borrowed time has found an end
Every piece falls to the wind, to the wind

Oh how, oh how we lost it, laid rest to what we once were

Actually we've seen proof of tons of upgrades. The game was improved visually from the initial reveal. Better lighting, better hair and facial details, reflections in windows, more details on the street for storefronts and other street elements, and so on
This.

Is it better to believe people who just look at one screenshot and not the numerous recent videos?
This. It might even be one thing if that was all we had and we didn't have the numerous very high quality videos we have of all of the upgrades the game has received and how damned good the game looks.

You do realise this picture was posted as a joke to bait out the people who don't know what they're talking about right?

Spiderman has simply moved position. He's lower to the ground (in the shadow) compared to the other screenshot (he's in the sun).

Look at the colour of the cars and amount. It's from the same video taken 1 second apart lol.

It's pretty LMAO that you 're posted this as a serious post.

Has the Internet been wrong about a downgrade so far?

Yeah the Internet is known to be correct about lots of things. Like when they misidentified one of the Boston Marathon bombers. That was wonderful.

No one gets as excited about upgrades as people get mad about any possible hint of downgrades. But people are dumb enough to call any change, upgrade or not, a downgrade because it looks different, if the comparison images were reversed i'd still think a lot people would get mad anyway . It doesn't require knowing shit to be mad about anything, i know because i was a concern troll and big huge fucking dumbass when Brawl came out so the talking points i had arguing with my friends were coming straight out of my ass and massive delusions i had about the game that were unrelated to game media i would consume, literal garbage was made up as i opened my mouth.

The lighting and suit definitely look a bit downgraded, but so many other factors it could be before saying it's definitely what happened.

I think the guys response tweet about "looking at the code" is ridiculous though lol. You, a non Dev, looked at graphics engine and lighting code and can confirm that there's no downgrade, even though it wouldn't show in code? Was there a line of code like:

var downgradeGraphics = false

That he saw? Lol

Mountain out of a molehill anyway. Game looks better in pre release carefully curated media, shock horror.

reddit could argue graphics on a fuckin blade of grass.............they are absolutely pathetic
Lol don't for one second try and act like this site is above that, or Reddit. Have you never been in a DF graphics comparison thread? Some people will argue that a one off 1fps difference for 1 split second makes the version trash compared to another even though it's running at twice the resolution lol.

People on the internet are toxic, and "gamers" on the internet are among the worst and most toxic. It's embarrassing.

Just wanted to mention that I went back and watched the " just the facts-new York " trailer again and it looks fabulous.
No worse than any previous showing in regards to anything really. Suit detail, textures, traffic density.. all seems intact.

I suggest you do the same: I was also in the "doesn't look as good as it used to" camp before.

Wow this is pretty bad.

This one is actually a much bigger difference & im surprised people are getting more angry at puddles instead, i think the early 2016 footage was more of a target render though, way too much density below to run on even high end PC's.

Yeah....em, no

I see a completely different set of lighting, a different traffic pattern, as well as much more aggressive DOF and Motion Blur. Not seeing a downgrade (there isn't one)
