Comparing the graphics via screenshots

[Soukyuu]

Very unlikely. The fact tat playing with contrast/saturation/blur like that is very popular between people that like to photoshop game screenshots doesn't mean they can't very easily applied to a game in-engine.

Might be, however the difference between the effect in the upper and lower pictures is way too high. Background matters, I guess.

But it's not only the effect, the textures are higher quality, maybe cause of it being a close-up image vs. screencap of a trailer.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean by pixelpup?

Could you point which one you mean on this screenshot?

Thank you for taking my comment out of context. Obviously, it was a sarcastic way to say you need BOTH if you want the game to look good.
