This would make a lot of sense if the game had actual dynamic time of day.
Ohh well I guess its just some lighting changes to the game itself.
But the images def have a different set of lights in different places.
Looking at the shadows being cast in all the images, the light positions have changed for sure....reason why who knows.
But i def dont think its just a global downgrade.
That.....that isn't shiny.I dunno the animated series made it look kind of shiny.
Here's the image in question:
Art changes aside (and art changes are not a downgrade in any world), the two screens are captured at different resolutions.
The lower screen also has additional compression artifacts, that are not present in the first.
By going brighter or "more forward towards the scene. That is obvious and if you took the time to read, you'd have seen I never said that. What the sun hasn't done, is a ToD change (my whole arguement, which further proves you didn't read anything).
It hasn't seen a time of day change where the sun has moved POSITION across the sky. You know... actually how the sun works.

lol
Because water has reflections. People don't see the reflections any more so assume downgrade. Water and rain is one way to trick people into thinking games look better than they do look.
It'll be Puddle DLC.
You want bugger puddles and more of them, expect to pay!
For sure. Next gen devs should just make it raining all the time so everything is wet and shiny as shit.
Keep'em coming.I really don't care about the puddles but this one offends me and leads me to believe downgrade.
Yeah. Since Witcher 3 I stopped caring about graphic showcase before release, there are always different stuff.
There are probably a bunch of improvements that are not apparent in this kind of comparison.
At least minus a million imaginary pre-orders & counting. The puddle outrage is real.
Here's a less compressed version of that scene now.I really don't care about the puddles but this one offends me and leads me to believe downgrade.
But will Spidey's enemies close car doors?
Wow at all the folks unwilling to listen to a direct answer from the devs :(

The worst and more entitled audience in any medium. As if it mattered when you are actually playing the game.
Seeing things like cursing in Cyberpunk and a puddle in Spider-Man being the biggest talking points on this forum makes me question the value of forums like this in the first place.
I think the dumbest thing is people shout downgrade when the developers are simply tweaking the final look and presentation of their games. Changing the time of day doesn't mean a downgrade or how many of a certain item are in the environment don't mean there has been a downgrade.
Hopefully they'll bundle it with the "too much bloom" and "weirdly shiny everything" and call it the E3 package.
Didn't you hear?
The devs are liars because of one shitty photo.
His eyes don't close is why I say downgrade. Not lighting and texture which is what everyone is discussing.
They could have that alpha watermark & verbally say it every 10 seconds during the footage & it still wouldn't matter tbh.
I guess this is the hot controversy, right?
We always need a Filip Miucin controversy on the gaming community… the Filip Miucin Downgrade Controversy

No, the shadows hide the details.
Here's proof from the same build.
I'm pretty sure that's still in the game, and even if it wasn't, that's not a downgrade...
To be fair, the e3 screenshots look significantly better then the current ones. Whether that can all boil down to strength of lighting effects, time of day, etc. is up for debate and will soon be apparent when the game is in the hands of more gamers. That being said, if this were the spiderman console screenshot thread and someone had taken all those screenshots independently and was trying to choose which ones to upload to the thread, i would argue they wouldn't hesitate to use the E3 ones over the current ones. In either case the game still looks like its going to be an absolute blast. If Insomniac makes Spidermans movement through the city as fluid as the movement in sunset overdrive was, the games gunna be a hit regardless of any potential graphical downgrades.
I've got news for you. DF doesn't think there's any downgrade.
For the people that have been around for a bit longer, I give you a throw back to a previous Time of Day Downgrade discussion:
Was this a legit comparison? lol
Dude. In the other comparison, same scenes, the sun is either shining straight on the street leaving no building shadows on the street or the sun is behind the building casting vast shadows across the whole street. That does kind of imply a position change
