The Darkness - Video

(My opinion)
It represents what i really hate about the PC_ish graphical approach :low poly everywhere ,bumpy-shiny on everything (even on the velvet of a pool table) ,and genereric assets /surfaces /locations ,the 'standard FPS check list...


In these bad quality videos it look better than in screenshots ,it gives synthetic homogeneity ,also some screens have good post processing FX ,but overall: classic not outstanding by any standards..

I agree. There are some shortcomings and the general pc-ish graphics statement is spot on not only for this game but in describing the general "look" of pc games. I couldn't quite put my finger on it but most pc games have a certain "look" which in my mind is somewhat sterile in contrast to many console games. There are of course exceptions to this (farcry, crysis) but in general, this is spot on IMO.

The good thing for this game though is the concept is interesting enough to warrant looking past any graphical limitations which have been shown thus far IMO.
