Just a reminder of the previous showing
What's so hard for you to understand? It looks good just not as good as the previous trailer. That is not a controversial opinion so move your insufferable self along.

Besides the fact you're not even taking into consideration lighting and minute location differences, if you paid attention it was confirmed the stuff last year was in-engine. But it's also well-known that in-engine cutscenes are still going to look a slight notch more detailed than real-time visuals, and that's for any game.
What they showed today was in-game, and even with some of the lowered facial details it's still the best-looking stuff that's been shown for a game coming out within the foreseeable near future, at least out of what has been officially revealed anyway. The nitpicking and pointing-out-obvious (possible) "downgrades" is just annoying and serves no real purpose for a game obviously still in the middle of development.
And before you make this a console thing, I hated the nitpicking with the gameplay for Horizon: Forbidden West some people did back in May, as well. That pop-in didn't even get noticed by me watching it at first because I let the game's charms do what they're supposed to do. The overly nitpicky analysis can come later, like when the game's finished and officially released.
Anyone who looks at these captures and still has the nerve to say there was no downgrade is a total bulshitter.
Ah yes, a downgrade for a game still at least a year away and still in development, over gameplay shown this year compared to in-engine footage from 2019. Do you even know what in-engine is?
The only "bullshitters" here are people such as yourself.
