meh, just something about the game that isn't impressive to me personally. From what I've seen it just seems, idk, underwhelming. For some reason i was completely blown away when I first saw Uncharted on an hd tv, blown away, this though? Just another hyper realistic shooter whose only real draw seems to be its engine. Even Red Steel 2 has more going for it then that.

Maybe im just looking for something more at this point

Well to be fair they haven't really shown the game to the public. Outside of a few teasers we know very little about the game itself. We have seen tech demos but those aren't a very good measuring stick for what the game will be besides on a graphics/physics front. Did you see the new trailer? It raised my eyebrow in terms of the story and setting; and I've played the first Crysis to death and can fully admit that the story is terrible so that's saying something.

 

 

 

based on that, U2, KZ2, GOW III are VERY MUCH ahead of it visually.. which is why I am not buying CVG or that other very low known site's impressions.

Again as I said they've only shown tech demos. What you posted is a tech demo. When games are developed set pieces and locations are designed to showcase the technical abilities of engines. That video is only representative of what to expect technically from the game. Since it's a tech demo they use a lot of placeholder assets. Asset creation is done for the game which is still in development and has quite a bit of time left in development, thus assets are still not finalized.

If you recall people were downing GoW3's graphics too based on the the E3 demo and released screenshots. Near launch when they started showing more recent builds with more complete assets it was clear that GoW3 was quite a looker. Comparing a tech demo utilizing unfinished assets that aren't combining the many capabilities of the engines to create visual set pieces to completely finished games isn't a proper comparison.

I'm aware that my initial post said "graphics/physics front". Excuse my improper wording. By graphics I meant things like lighting, effects, and ease of adjusting the aesthetic of the game through filters.

And you gotta chill out man. Graphics are at the point where it doesn't even matter what visual effects are being used but is more about what the viewer prefers aesthetically. Crysis 1 is still the most technically impressive game out due to all the features the engine can push on a well equipped PC. I don't think anyone can deny that. Is it the best looking game? That depends on the person.
