so far this game has looked less then impressive and that's being kind. very bland looking but i'm not surprised at all.

Do you even know why the game doesn't compare with some games out there? It's because it's FREE ROAMING. You know GTA? Imagine playing GTA where your car transforms, and you can destroy anything in the world, including buildings. THAT is why the game doesn't look all that impressive, because they were focusing on gameplay.

I don't think it's even Beta yet. They probably won't get the details in until just before launch.

Right now their main concern is tightening up the gameplay, graphics come later. Though, keep in mind, graphics only matter in trailers. What really matters in a game is gameplay and a good story to go with.

They've got to add stuff to the story even if it's based on a movie. (A two hour game is not fun at all) And they probably have to do a little more on gameplay. (They can't all be Prince of Persia) Graphics come later.

EDIT: And don't forget, it's in Traveller' Tales' blood to add in tons of extra features, and I do mean tons.

sorry this is unrelated, but:

Why is it that 90% of why people rate/comlain about games is about the graphics?!? Yes the graphics are nice to look at, but would you rather have a game with great gameplay or great graphocs??

its almost the same thing as before.

I wonder if everything will blend better in actual gameplay?

Looks good though.

That's because it is. These are all test screens before the actual game is finished.

TF look great.

Buildings look good.

Cars and people need work, badly.

The environs look a little bland too.

Anyway, I'm stoked for this game and when they drop the prices on the PS3, I'll be picking it up fo' sho'

edit: Blur studios is doing the cutscenes! Thats GREAT! Go look for their Rockfish short, it's awsome.
