the game looks really good and u can tell by just looking at the video that this game is only possible on next gen consoles. can't wait to get my hands on it :)

Am I missing something? This game hardly looks next-gen to me in terms of gameplay. In fact, if you'd tell me this was a PS3 game I'd believe you for a moment. I wanna say that the graphics aren't really that impressive, but I think it more has to do with the animation. I think animation is gonna need to improve alot with this upcoming generation. 

I think the main thingis the fluidity of the smoke effects and extent of the particle effects that to me says "not possible on current gen machines". I wonder what people mean by next gen gameplay. I'm not sure we're looking at any sort of gameplay revolution going into the next generation, the way things look to me is mostly moreof the same, but better, more refined, smoother, sleeker.
