I'm currently replaying Metroid Prime 1, and I re-remeber why the graphics are timeless; primarily because it's strength is in the art, not the shaders. I have every confidence that while it won't be the highest fidelity and realistic game ever made, that Retro has a good chance of making it the most immersive.

999301573, it's not all still-effect. RE4, for example, looks muuuuch better than that in stills.

"wouldnt it be better to compare it to dead or alive 3 or something?" no.

Yes, I noticed that too. Good point

 Link doesn't work.

I guess I shouldnt expect you to elaborate?

Here's some pics to remind people how good RE4 looks in stills:

Hoh hoh. Kärsin satunnaisesta repeämisestä, kun yhtäkkiä tajusin mikä pointti tuossa nimessäsi on. =P

Resident Evil 4 has an excellent art style 0.0.
