I kind of wonder if the fact that this game was developed by different divisions or studios for different parts of the game fucked it up. We know that may have been the reason Metroid Prime 4's development was rocky, and that resulted in that version being cancelled and development re-starting from the ground up. Plus I believe Gears Judgment had it's campaign developed by Epic Games, but it's multiplayer developed by People Can Fly, and that game was received as rocky.

For what it's worth, this game is actually very beautiful in singleplayer. I might be mistaken but it seems to me like the campaign is a lot more detailed than multiplayer. So I don't really think the whole "it's such an ugly looking game" really applies to that portion of the game.

Also, the Digital Foundry video was nice.

Sigh... but the game isn't fucked up. Sumo was the primary developer of the campaign, I think other studios handled the engine (such as cloud tech), assets, MP, etc.

From my understanding Gears Judgement was developed by People Can Fly, period. Epic was apparently working on Gears 4 before selling it to MS.
