i don't think its really been downgraded, just the first trailer we saw looked more like pre rendered fmv so of course it's going to look better.

Yes, although the servers are being hammered so it is pretty slow atm.
It isn't just the first trailer though. The Sword of Destiny Trailer came out in June 2014 showing amazing in game graphics and the game's original release date was fall 2014.
I suspect either they realised too late that a titan (no pun intended...) PC was needed to run the game or Microsoft/Sony don't want the PC version to look too much better than the console version. Though that doesn't explain the art direction/style though which is clearly a lot grittier and darker back in 2014.

How come its preloading so early?
Its only a week before release. I thought a week before was pretty standard these days?

Because at this download speed it's going to take a week to finish!
Going to be gutted if this fails to deliver, been really looking forward to it, and to Cyberpunk... will not be pre-ordering that if TW3 turns out to be another Watch_Dogs...

Honestly, after watching some of the new PC "ultra" gameplay videos I can't stand W3's foliage in certain areas;/ The grass looks so cartoony and artificial compared to Flotsam in W2. I know the latter is not open world but still... I think the game will be good but the graphics are disappointing considering all the hype, especially the colour palette they went for. The locations give off a completely different vibe than in the trailers and i think it has a lot to do with the downgraded foliage and lack of fx. It really does look a bit like Fable. And bloody GTA5 has better water FFS;p

I agree . It is odd. The foliage looks so low resolution and out of place. It really stands out as odd rather than blending in with the world.
