grrr, i know im going to be treated like a scapegoat after this; but is anyone not as impressed as i am?
gameplay aside (which looks like great fun in my opinion), the graphics dont really impress me too much. the smoke/explosion effects do look nice, but everything else just feels like a minor step of next gen.

the background feels very low poly, not that much detail besides high textures. Something about the lighting seems odd, not the blue, but id figure those huge yellow pods would be giving off alot of ambient light.

everything so blurry like that, doesnt look too much better than a ps2 game. minus the high resolution ofcourse.

low textures? something doesnt seem right about the fur, looks like a cheap way of doing it. looks like blurred alphas or somthing. reminds me of a cutscene out of mgs3 or somthing, besides the lighting.

faces look nice, but not much as id expect after the RE5, MGS4, GOW clips.

pretty nice, but current gen faces dont look too far from that.
remember Jean Reno and Takeshi Kaneshiro from Onimusha 3.

The main character has a huge RE4 vibe coming from him, but I really cant say much considering its the same company making the game.
the LP face is alot higher poly, probably more detailed no questions asked, and playable at a higher resolution, i just figured it might of been a bigger jump.
animation and design looks great though, i wont lie. the part where he cut off the monsters arm was pretty impressive. i think ive only seen that once or twice done before, but when i did it was probably very much scripted.
story looks ace also, im sure this will be a great title and i hope it comes to the US. hope you guys dont mind me picking apart a few screens from a game that isnt done yet.
