Does anyone else think the visuals are almost 'too' good for the platform?
Why does nothing else look anything like this? I'm not saying it's fake, clearly the beta is running on peoples home consoles. But I wonder if the game would have looked like this had they not decided to show that CG trailer. There was so much pressure for them to deliver that standard of visuals (and I think the pretty much have, it's a lot better in places) I think they put more resources into it than anyone else. I can't imagine they always knew they could get it looking like this when everything else is miles behind them.
Just looking at it in comparison to something like MGS4 (which I adore, I'm not shitting on it), both games are kind of similar in level size and the whole battlefield feel to them, but this looks like it's on a completely different system, and Kojima claimed they maxed the PS3 out. It's also running much more solid, and at 720p apparently, which MGS4 missed on. It's an interesting comparison, because just after the E3 CG KZ2 trailer, we saw the TGS'05 MGS4 trailer, which was considerably beyond what they actually achieved.
