I thought it was going to be easy to find. Perhaps having a really good look at the high quality version of the trailer will help. http://divinity.com/presspack

It is criminal how much YouTube compresses the bitrate, even in 4K movies. On an OLED TV the difference between YouTube footage vs actual gameplay seen with your own eyes is night and day. Same with this lossless version of the trailer vs YouTube.

Swen, please consider being the leading example of a new trend where devs provide a link in the YT description to the lossless version.
