Enslaved Demo Impressions

I don't know what it is that people are seeing that I can't see.  I thought the game had some of the best graphics ever.  I was impressed by the scope, too.  Platforming outside of that ship with everything going to shit was exciting as hell, to me.  I didn't experience any glitches, either--or if I did, I didn't notice them.  And--this is the part that's going to make you all hate me--I thought it looked better than......Uncharted 2.  Sorry.  That's my opinion.  The only thing I had against it was that the analog controls felt a little loose.  I didn't even like the character design for the guy (Monkey, I think  his name was) before the game.  I liked the character a lot after playing the demo.  First impression: 9.5/10

-Am I too easy to please?  I don't think so. 

The problem with the graphics is the general look of the Unreal Engine, and on the PS3, if a game uses that engine, it's normal to have an unsteady framerate, some screentearing and dreadful anti-aliasing, all of which can really help make or break the graphics of a game. For me at least. The lack of anti-aliasing isn't that important, nor are the other two when kept seperate, but unsteady framerates and screentearing are both things I hate like the plague when you combine them. Then when you combine that with the lack of AA, it becomes a real nuisance.

No wonder I never win any of those "best graphics" debates.  I like to see the little things that make a game look like a game.  It's like I can see more detail, or something.  Even screen tearing has never been a big deal to me (and I only see it rarely, if ever nowadays--and not once in that demo).
