Yes.
Not to me. It looks half a gen ahead of everything else, not just Ryse or x1 games.
nothing has come close to that original reveal:

I'm not saying Ryse looks bad though. It looks good, it's always looked good (except for MP), but KZ looks better.
that's getting a bit OT though. I will say though going from 1080p to 900p I don't think is a big deal, but I am curious to see if anything else has changed like lighting, shadowing, etc. For example this info is not bad in itself, but combined with the drop from 150k polys to 85k polys could mean the overall look of the game is different/downgraded.
