From Damien twitter:
Odd that they say "part of improving" when many have said that the original screens were better. Obviously there's people who think otherwise, that the newer stuff is better/the same.
I honestly don't mind the graphics as they are currently. I find they don't fit the "theme" I was hoping for (dark and gritty, akin to earlier screens), but the game still looks good. Hmmmmm, the lighting. <3 I just wonder why there was a change in the way they went about doing things graphically.
I think it's a case of accommodating the lowest common denominator (Xbox One). Such a damn shame.
