Honestly there isn't much to suggest an actual downgrade. It just looks different in some areas. Now I'm not saying it isn't downgraded. If the E3 demo was running on a PC, chances are that graphical features have been cut.

However, so many times people keep saying downgrade even though it's just a change in tone or lighting or something like that. The best way to know if something is downgraded is to look at specific features like number of shadows and shadow quality, screen space reflections, ambient occlusion,texture quality, geometry detail, object and effects density, volumetric lighting and so on.

Are you serious? That's the most blatant downgrade.

The lighting (flying through the jungle), some texture work (Brontosaurs skin for sure), and resolution (look at the draw distance) have been reduced significantly, and like I said years ago when they did the first reveal this game wasn't going to look as good as the trailer, because the graphics were too demanding and it was going to have to run at 60fps for VR, yet fans claimed otherwise.

That being said I must say the downgrade isn't as big as I was expecting it to be, and the general art style is still there. It's instantly noticeable side by side, but it still looks good overall.

for those of you who are complaining about the graphics of psvr, have you missed the disclaimers in a lot of videos that recorded resolution is lower than whats actually in the headset? of course its not going to be as sharp as what we are used to seeing on our hdtvs, but it should be better than what this video shows.
