Exactly. It's kind of like a varsity-team AA title got a AAAA marketing push and hype. It's a rough-looking cross-gen FPS full of emptiness and mediocrity, polished up with respectable art direction.
I hope they actually invest in a decent engine for the next entry, but they'll probably ride this thing for years before making any real upgrades. If it was 60fps, then some of it could be forgiven, but it's a pretty ugly game to be 30fps. The models during character creation should be possible IN GAME if they actually optimized it for 8g consoles instead of cross gen.
God cross-gen is cancer. At least when a game is aimed high on cross-gen it can look pretty decent. BF4 looks next-gen, this looks like an up-rezzed 360 title all the way. But the best will be just NOT having 7g versions at all, and using engines/tech specific to 8g consoles. Drive Club looks like it belongs in 2014, Destiny looks like something that could have come in 2008. Hell Halo 3 and 4 are more impressive in many respects.
