Why is everyone blowing their load over those screen shots? The graphics really don't look that good. Games like Gears 2 look better in every aspect but scale.
I'll repost what I said in the other thread:
This shot shows what I mean. There's nothing amazing about the character models, and even with the downsampling you can tell that the textures aren't anything amazing. There's a weird shine to everything, and the game appears to suffer from the 'grey is real' syndrome.
Shots like this, however:
Look better. The sense of scale is really amazing, even with the copy/pasted character models. Look at that sexy draw distance for characters!
Even though all the problems I listed for the first pic are still there - cover up the far away battle with your hands, and just look at the soliders near to us, and you'll see what I mean - the sense of scale is enough to make up for it, IMO.
And for another example, compare this character:
With this:
I'd definitely say Marcus looks a touch better.
And when you compare KUF with other upcoming games like Uncharted 2, Alan Wake, Final Fantasy XIII, The Last Guardian, etc. it looks even worse in comparison.
Not to say it's a bad look gaming at all - it's not - it's just just as mind blowing as many of you are making it out to be.
