Comparing it to the original The Crew it's also a downgrade, less world detail worse pop-in etc.

I don't know. Could be but not having the same TOD makes the comparison itself look bad, not the game.

the boat shooting out water in the newer version looks better to me tbh other than that it looks like the main difference is time of day. Ill reserve judgment until the actual release and the PC is compared because honestly everything looks pretty much the same except time of day, LQ LOD's are much easier to hide at night.

not that bad IMO. watch dogs looked like a completely different game engine compared to its previews

This. The watch dogs demo almost felt like it was being made for hardware a generation ahead of the final game. Mainly all the smaller interactions and crowds that really breathed life into that original demo. This just looks like stuff they changed for performance reasons but pretty much the same exact game.

I haven't watched, but isn't this the channel that compares press screenshots with low quality youtube videos and then the cries of "downgrade" begin? It happened with both God of War and Detroit: Become Human, and this channel was the source of the complaints. Should this channel even be trusted?

Edit: God of War was a user who took images from a low quality video, my bad.
They aren't even comparing the games on the same platform so it's definitely faulty to begin with.

How to eliminate color. Went from lush and colorful to a grey filter. Also removed dynamic lighting.

This YouTube channel is known for fabricating videos. He tried to pass off Detroit as a downgrade. He is known for stealing already compressed YT videos and using them as source of comparison instead of capturing his own. Stay away from this terrible comparison and instead wait for someone like Digital Foundry who know what they are doing.

Also as others have said, TOD is different so not an accurate comparison at all.

Game still looks pretty great, obviously stuff like Forza Horzion 3 look better but for a third party game targeting all platforms, it looks darn good.

Time of day difference makes it hard to really see the difference but the lighting looks much more flat in the newer version.

Not saying there is or isn't a downgrade but this channel is well known to be disingenous and has had its thread closed every single time.
If a mod could look into it thatd be great.

1) Different TOD
2) You have to compare it with maxed out PC version which wasn't the case

Still looks great to me, and could the E3 demo not be from the maxed-out PC version of the game?

That said I agree downgrading is a shitty practise if that's the case here.
