Would poor animations really be the end of the world for the game?

The best thing is none of it is CGI. All in game. You can tell Microsoft have left this in Dev to push the boundaries of graphics like KZ2 is trying to do.

Man that is seriously good in game engine graphics.

No, but with the extremely savoury visuals and the amount of time they've had to nail it, it should be a given with solid animation. The physics and tech behind the engine is very advanced so I don't see any reason to have Half-Life and S.T.A.L.K.E.R quality animations to be perfectly honest.

I'm not bashing this game, I've been wanting it since day one (which is, should we say, a good while ago), I just found it odd and slightly off-putting, is all!

We are looking at a christmas 2009 launch, at the earliest. I'm aware it's a cliche, but there's plenty time...

This might be the BEST looking gmae of 2009, which would be a REALLY interesting event, given the circumstances...lol.
