@Sinha,
None of those are particularly impressive. Especially when you consider the lack of HUD which means some of them could be pre-renders. But some of them look like art direction pictures and not even shots you would ever see playing the game.
I think there is a very good case in the idea that the game looks good so who cares about missing pixels so I don't see why you need to justify it to other people. If you like it just play and ignore these guys.
@FishyJoe,
I agree there is a lot of screen real estate being lost here but I don't know that it really matters all that much. When you really think about it how close have most games really been to HD quality so far? I certainly haven't seen anything that is on par with Blue Planet. Games may be outputting in these HD resolutions but the textures and everything else they are using have yet to truly come together in something I would look at and not be easily able to identify it as a game. I am hoping that Crysis is the beginning of games that look truly HD, but even Crysis has some issues with the NPC models that I have seen. Ironically I think they have pretty good models but next to their environments and lighting it looks fake and out of place.
To summarize, this is nothing new really. And if people are happy with the way it looks I don't see why there should be a stink over this game any more than there is for every other "HD game" that doesn't look nearly as good as most HD programs.
