Older version had shadows, better textures. New version is just brighter, no shadows and lower textures.

Don´t say just because there is sun there is no shadows anymore of that. Look at cop clothes... shadows... no shadows anymore.

The game must have been showcased using a PC during E3.

"Downgraded" = time of day changed leading to different lighting effects.

I think "downgraded" was word you were looking for, not "dumbed down" which implies simplified gameplay over its predecessors.

According to whom? Best looking open world so far, sure...best looking? No... KZ and Ryse still take the cake. For all the crap Ryse took for a little resolution drop, that is a massive downgrade in lighting. I digress though, I won't judge until it is actually out.

Look at all these fanboys saying that it still looks better than this , better than that . No one is bashing your precious console , stop feeling so insecure about it . This thread is clearly pointing out that how devs lie to gamers or falsely advertise it . Instead of admitting that there is indeed a problem that needs to fixed , all you do is damage control and make it look worse .

No, it does not what?

Are you challenging that fact that Infamous Second looks better than anything on shown on xbox one? If so lol please provide gameplay of something that looks better on xbox 1 so we all can see this mystery game that obviously no one else but you have seen.

YOU BLIND GODDAMN !"##&%""# SONS OF /#@¤&"/ :DDDD

it STILL LOOKS GOOD, YES, but it's the fact that bullshit like this is happening in the first place! it's not about console wars in this! happens accross platforms!

"it still looks good. i don't care". so you are bascily giving a permission for devs to bullshit you now and in the future. alright. i give up... what ever.

Dear god TC change your topic title. Its a graphics downgrade (which almost always happens) from the bullshots which are used to hype and publicise a game and that fanboys always seem to buy hook, line and sinker. When you talk about a game being "dumbed down" it means the AI or UI rather than graphically.

@PinkieWinkie: It crosses my Mind the developers downgraded the game because the system couldn't handle the lighting, textures, shadows, models, etc and keep a good frame rate.

Has nothing to do with just "changing the time of day." If you put the same scene it is now at the exact time of day it was at E3 2013 you would NOT magically get that E3 2013 demo.

bullshots used to be more just resolution-enhacements... this is getting out of hands.

well it's just more of gamers being more aware of what "Next-Gen" is capable of IE: What many of us were saying before Next Gen happened.

Graphics wouldn't change much, but the Resolution and Framerate will be better and so far that's exactly what we've been given.

This is not the result of a "time of day" change. This is an obvious downgrade. Not surprised though, it happens all the time.

"Dumbed down" doesn't mean what you think it means...

That being said, yes, that is quite a downgrade, especially the lighting. Never mind they changes the time of day for those cut scenes, the lighting behaves entirely different in those screenshots. Sad indeed.

Then again, the game still does look great while running. Looking forward to playing it nonetheless.

I think we can see that the time of the day is different and perhaps that is for a different mood with different light angles. Even if it did get downgraded, it still looks top notch no?

I remember killzone having a company mock up an entire fake video for E3, halo (i think it was 3?) did the same thing for its launch announcement trailer. Its the new norm in today's videogame marketplace.

You have GOT to be kidding KZ and Ryse look like second grade grabage next to Infamous.

Yes you need to digress because your, According to whom, comment would also apply to you when making your opinion heard. I am sure if we had a poll here on GS between the best looking console games so far Infamous Second Son would win hanidly, it is infact an open world game, that said it still looks better than everything else.

No pre-rendered cut sceen BS to hide behind.

This is Ryse, a 900p resolution, small closed area game with lots of pre-rendered cutscenes, quick time events and a frame rate that drops to 14fps.

and this is Infamous Second Son, 1080p large open sanbox world game with real world permanent real time destruction and amazing particle effects.

Ahh. Yeah, that would be a bum deal then. The textures seem more or less the same but the lighting definitely took a hit and possibly a few lines of res/AA change.

I posted a video fool, stop reaching. There is no downgrade to be seen in the game when it's actually in front of you being plaed. These screens are obviously tampered with.

I mean Infamous Second Son is a 1080p game and as crisp as a fresh baked apple pie so why are all the TC's alternate screens so blurry looking? It doesn't add up when none of the other pictures resemble the actual game, looking at other pictures, video *I posted* or any gifs of the actual gameplay.

Stop acting like a dumbass just because Infamous Second Son isn't available on your PC or xbox360. The pic I posted of Infamous is NEW and looks nothing like the alternate pics the TC post but rather like the originals.

I guess next generation bullshots remain. I admit devs should stop doing this. But if the game still looks like that gif then I'm more than fine with it. It think by now it's probably to take any game that's shown at E3 or similar events with salty side dishes.
