You know what, it's stupid comments like this that piss me off, have you seen the game running with your own eyes?
Yes, I've seen many of their released trailers.
Are you actually judging the game based on some screenshots?
Yes, I am judging the
technical aspects of the game. That is one of the things that PR-intended screenshots are supposed to, i.e. convey information about aspects of a game.
Who are you to question my vision or the vision of others.
Well, I think I am allowed to point out when people fail to notice somewhat obvious graphical deficiencies.
Screenshots are just there to give you an idea of what the game looks like because these days it's all horrible bull shots anyway.
I'm glad that they didn't releas bullshots. I'm glad that they are honest. Too bad that the textures, the aliasing, and the geometry in those screenshots are really subpar compared to temporary AAA console games. For example, the texture of the walkie-talkie or her white shirt - it's incredibly lacking for something as imposing in the overall visual frame of the shots and/or gameplay.
The game looks FINE, trust me I've played all the major games and Tomb Raider is one of the better looking games on the market as far as consoles go. Suggesting everything looks terrible is just plain idiotic on your part, the Xbox 360 is seven years old so what the hell were you expecting?
I expect what is considered standard geometry, adequate resolution textures, and occasionally a bit of anti-aliasing (although the latter is not the norm). The shots in the OP are not very good in these aspect.
I would prefer if you didn't respond to my reply, I can't tell you how little I care for your tone. If you have an opinion then bring it forth and be smart about your choice of words. Moron judges game based on screenshots, very poorly done mate.
Whoa there. Ease up. I'm judging the graphics, not the gameplay. In which part of my post did I mention anything about gameplay? Nothing. So I fail to see how I am a "moron that judges game based on screenshots".
I think you're too invested in this game, since you have such a problem with taking criticism of some technical aspects of a game.
