That main character girl looks just like my mom when she was about 16.
I hope I can for get that while playing the game.
Give the game to her. She will have a blast...That main character girl looks just like my mom when she was about 16.

your mom was hot.
Hmm, someone pressed the 'on' button on the marketing machine
"Hell... it's about time!"
They look totally ingame. Pushing the limits on everything, but still completely possible.
Some of them do indeed loko ingame, but the ones in this post : http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1025617&postcount=490 I find a little hard to believe that it will look that good while running smoothly.
From an action perspective, those shots look very in-game. The character close-ups are most likely cutscenes. Cutscenes are realtime in this game. IIRC, some special-case rendering is done for characters in cutscenes, however, versus their in-game rendering (to get them ready for their close-up, so to speak).
It is amazing that the realtime cutscenes and character models therein look better than that close-up CG face-shot of Nariko from 2005. Stylistically, obviously a lot has changed... beit through that or otherwise, it looks a lot better now.
edit - this comparison, stolen from GAF, tells the tale:
I remember how that was always the caveat..that this was always the bit in the E305 demo that was questionable because it was purely CG, but they've ended up far, far exceeding it.
(Well, the other bit often called out was the army scene, but that brief glimpse in the admittedly crappy youtube video suggests great things there too..)

The enemy characters seem to be quite low-poly actually, but clever use of normal maps hides it well. The game should be able to render a lot of them...

Absolutely gorgeous!
I hate to nitpick but did anyone else notice her running animation makes her look like she's in a full sprint but is barely moving, and when she gets caught on obstables she's spins out like scooby doo or the roadrunner. Anyway, I digress. The fighting looks very good and the art style is outstanding. Definitely looking forward to getting this. Amazing work guys!

I don't know if her Mongolian/Russian background would make her any better a warrior.

Any chance of getting some of these at the full 720p?
Love this one:
Hey nAo I LOVE YOU MAN!!!
This picture just makes me want to cry. Can we please get this in its 720p holiness?
That's not going to help.
You must have had (or are having) a tormented adolescence.
I think that's a rather stylistic choice, representative of the genre. (Samurai/ninja flicks frequently have full-out running where the upper body is rock-steady.) The "spinning about" bit, however... maybe not so much.
Personally, I just found the HDR to be a bit much in some scenes. (Like where it was effectively gleaming off what look like cloth shirts some prisoners/peasants were wearing.) Pretty effective for "fake HDR," tho, amirite?
