The fact that people were blown away and feel this was supposed to be achieved only on high end computers if at all gives information on the game's visual splendor.
They've done very well, but at no time watching the gameplay vid did I confuse it for cgi nor think it was possible only on high end computers.
It's one of the few games I would consider truly "next gen" at this point and I say bravo to the team for it. But IMO, there are still too many people comparing this to cgi which is causing the opposite end of the spectrum to react to such comments and hopefully bring the conversation back to reality.
I agree, debate/conversation should be about what GG has done with this game and where it's going as it is truly in elite class.
