Your can't prove that at all, can you?
I saw that myself. What I intended is that it tells me that the first version was more crisp and clear, while the new one is more muddy and confusing (based only on quick glances of course).
"Ah, fuck, who used the release version for the trailer!? We have a bullshot version to avoid this exact fucking situation. The Far Cry guys don't make these kinds of mistakes. Fucking amateurs".

* - In my imagination.
Considering the trailer we received earlier was reportedly created using the PS4 version of the game, I have my doubts.

The building in the new car chase scene looks ridiculously bad.
What a surprise response from you. Amazed, I am. Amazed.
Not surprising, it looked too good for the time. Here'es hoping Witcher 3 isn't next

Remember this guys?
exactly this. look at the wind and dust in the original footage and how much depth and atmosphere it brings to the scene. compared to the 2014 footage that has none of that.
I mean, look at this:

Have you seen Infamous Second Son or The Order: 1886? One is open world and the other is not, but both look impressive and truly next gen.
Again, i don't want to start a useless discussion here but i really hate when people post statements like these.

Infamous says otherwise.
Regardless, even if it's a bit too much, this level of downgrade is absurd.

Nope. It is simply my opinion based on the level of detail on display.

Back in 2012 I thought consoles would be able to get to this level. :/
Shame that the PC will be gimped equally.
There weren't even final specs by that time, these consoles can not handle that game as it showed in 2012.

Maybe in some ways, but I highly doubt that everything that was going on there and transitioning to an entire open world structure is doable on these systems. The only reasons I can think of anyone being fooled into thinking otherwise is that they have zero grasp on hardware limitations, or allowed the 2012 footage of this, 1313, and the following year's The Division to fool them into thinking this.
I'm always surprised when people pre-order and pay in advance. Why not just pre-order on amazon for example? There you can cancel at any time and don't have to pay upfront. Or does that vary from country to country?

This type of shit makes me want to just give up on video games for good. It's completely shameless, and I have no idea how companies are able to get away with it year after year.

No... The gameplay in this vid http://www.everyeye.it/ps4/articoli/watch-dogs_hands-on_21862 looks a lot better than what is suggested in this thread.
Again, not defending the game or Ubi here. Just filtering out the bullshit that the game suddenly looks like a last gen game now on PS4.
It's not the best looking game in general for next gen, i'll agree on that. And it certainly doesn't have the impact of the first reveal. And there are also parts downgraded compared to the reveal. And some things are a bit upgraded.
Killzone and Ryse both look very close to their initial footage. This is way worse.

"I have no idea what happened so I'll blame 'cross-gen'".
What about games this generation specifically designed for PS4 and Xbox One that look terrible?
That said, it's coming to Wii U still.

I've seen that demo running on PS4 hardware and it looked much better than this. I couldn't tell the difference from the E3 demo.
But that E3 demo was just that. There was no 'game' running in the background, per se, which is likely the reason behind all this.

As far as I can tell inFamous is a much simpler game and WD has more going on under the hood, more data to manage.
I think he means Killzone 2.

That surely can't be PS4, GTA5 looks better than that on last gen.
They really need to get hit hard with all this image manipulation they do, i wish it actually hurt sales but it seems like it only boosts them.
pretty much

God damn, these lights are PS2 level.

Be that as it may, in the past year alone my totally-not-surprising responses have been proven right multiple times.
Disappointing, but expected.
It's funny how people actually thought it would look as good as it did during the initial reveal. The downgrade was already made apparent when PS4 footage was shown last year. We didn't need that gif in this thread to confirm it. It does suck that we won't be getting what was originally presented though, at least not unless you own a really expensive PC.

That looks like PS3 version for sure. Would be hilarious though if that was actually what the next gen version looks like and we were currently looking at PC footage.

Ryse actually looks better than its first showing in a lot of ways.
This has absolutely killed my hype for the game. They announced the release date earlier and I was all, 'Cool, I'll bite, sure.'
But this... this isn't a downgrade. It's a plummet-grade.
I haven't been following the entire thread... we're SURE that the OP's gif is from next-gen consoles?

I was gonna say. Killzone Shadow Fall's downgrade was barely noticeable.

No time to read through the whole thread atm.
Do we know if that is just the last gen version? If that is current gen/pc, that would be soooome bullshit that would make even Gearbox blush.

I think it's to indicate 'hackable infrastructure'.
So it's kinda worse because it's actually working as intended.

Exactly. Also 2.25 in the video.
GTA V looked so much better than this, and it's not just the quality, but the density/population too.
He hacked it. Hacked objects flash white.
