The simple fact is, the studio's with good enough coders to make a game with great gameplay, also have the people to make a game look FAR better than that.

The studio's with basically, crap people working for them produce games that look like that and play like a 10 year old piece of stinking turd aswell.

Off the top of your head(i'm sure there will be some games) can you name any newish games that have come out with graphics looking like they belong in a game from 10 years ago, yet have great gameplay?

Can you also name a list of titles that have been rushed into release, are crap, look like crap and play like crap.

I'm thinking things like SOF3, completely budget game, very very poorly done, looked and played terribly.

That screenshot says most of what needs saying, the companies put no money into the game, studio's don't hire better more expensive and experienced game makers to produce a game that plays great but looks like crap. YOu might get the very very rare gem of upcoming names in the industry in their first job that somehow make a corker but don't have the money to get everything in the game fantastic, those are 1 in a million though.

EDIT:- though the IGN screenshots look unquestionably better, like massively ridiculously better, but who knows, maybe those aren't representative of what you get in game, meh. Lack of reviews of any kind is generally a very very bad sign, we shall see soon enough.

Please do not mention SOF3. It was a disgrace, I waited years for that game and then it was pap. I could have designed a better game.

Sof3 was the end of my childhood :p
 
Reading this I'm a bit gutted.

I loved the RTCW single player and wanted more of the same (long, fun and shooty with a good-ish storyline).

What have these clowns done? How on earth can any semi-competent, commercial enterprise make such a (apparently) **** job of such a great franchise?

Isn't this the same lot that's making Rage (the setting of which looks strangely familiar). Maybe they shoulda focused on this!
 
well mine is on the way and should be here tomorrow.
I don't know how people can knock it when they haven't got it /played it yet and can only go by a few screen vids /shots of the console version.

Primarily, though not completely, it's a Raven project. There is a little i.d.software involvement and also with the help of another developer for the MP.

I'm not going by any videos nor are a lot of other people in the thread, to put it simply the game is average at best which it shouldn't be.

I almost creamed myself when I heard an SOF3 was coming out, I was thinking SOF 2 multiplayer, up to date, with graphics that are decent, and shooting leg's and nuts in the pretty decent single player and wasting.

Thing is there was really money to be made for a decent SOF2 style fps, i think SOF2 got so much play as CS was really old and there wasn't much else about in the same style. Same would be the case now, CS:S has been played to death, a newer alternative would have been great with little competition.
 
I'm not a big fan of the mouse movement but overall, it could be worse.
I forced myself to play it for a couple hours and have now actually gotten quite into it.
 
tbh ive just played for about 1hr and its had me hooked! its really is not a bad game! cant comment on MP tho but im not too interested in that

No you are getting confused with the Publisher.. The original developer was Grey Matter who are now Treyarch. However, Activision bought out Grey Matter Interactive Studios which effectively gave them the franchise.

Well I dived straight into the Multiplayer and initial impressions are: oh dear :(

First signs weren't exactly positive, I think it's 12 or 16 player maximum.

Sounds are terrible and the death animations are laughable - controls aren't exactly fantastic either.

I was only playing on my old X2 3800+/2GB/7600GT which is having some issues in general so I wasn't able to test it out properly though, I kept getting BSODs when I changed from 1280x1024 -> 1024x768 so I couldn't really get a smooth game, added to the fact my ping was over 150ms as there don't seem to be many local servers yet (to be expected at the moment).

Fingers crossed the single player is as decent as people are making out, the multiplayer certainly doesn't give the impression of an instant classic.
 
Considering how great Prey and Quake 4 looked several years ago, (using the same engine), I'm impressed at how they could have got it to look so bad...i'm speechless tbh.

Had to disable V-sync for my mouse movement to be normal, which of course produces massive tearing now :/
 
idtech 4 is a horrible, horrible engine. Mouselook is just plain iffy, the tearing without vsync is despicable and with it just makes mouselook even worse.

It's quite ironic that infinity ward managed to take tech 3 and make a better looking, better playing game out of it nearly two years earlier.

I'm glad I cancelled my preorder, I was hoping for a good multiplayer but yeesh, it's tragic what they've done to it.
