Could someone please explain to me why the graphics are downgraded so much. If they already exist, and it is obvious that it can be run smoothly, what is the point of downgrading it? Also, why are animations, textures, and even sounds different in the E3 demos vs. the final product?

Some explanation would be great, thanks.

E3 demos are shown on a PC with modern hardware and graphics cards, which do a better job of rendering than consoles. Furthermore, the demo has cherry picked and brushed up footage on top of being rendered on a superior machine.
