The first one was pretty fun, I thought. The best GTA-like from last-generation, I think. Easily the most original--and the destructive enviroment is good stuff. Can't wait to play the new one. Is online co-op in?

Drop-in, Drop-out Co-op like Crackdown/Gears.

Great stuff, nice to know it will be released at the same time as well! To think that this game was only possible with the power of the Cell™ at one point! :P

The lighting looks amazing, textures and aliasing not so much.

To be honest the first game looked pretty poor (even with the massive amounts of fog) but once you get into blowing the snot out of everything you don't even notice.

Mercenaries was really cool game and I finished it twice and each time I played through missions in different ways. I'm really happy that Mercs 2 are coming to 360 as well.:)

The difference a few months makes. Last May at E3, this was one of the most impressive games shown at the show. Looking at it now, it looks like quasi-last-gen rubbish. The lightings off, the colors wash, the backgrounds are barren, the backgrounds with stuff in it are filled with low poly, non-procedurally created faux-liage, and look at all this next-gen jaggies!!!! This game's visuals really are a mess.

That said, the first game was fun, even if the controls sucked. Rumor has it you'll be able to remap your own controls this outing - thank goodness. I have little doubt the sequel will be just as fun or even more so than the original. And it still has until Q4 2007 to fix all of it's graphical inadequacies. And these screens, even though they are from IGN's 360 site, are of the PS3 version - so the 360/PC version should be jaggie free by default when the game ships, if nothing else.

Pandemic is very pleased with the power of the 360 I don't think this game will end up half assed on the 360.

A lead designer from Pandemic several weeks ago:

IGN: The Wii bowed out of the graphical race, whereas the Xbox 360 and PS3 have roughly comparable power. Are the difference in platform capabilities forcing your team to lean towards strictly next-gen style games?

Morgan Jaffit: If we were to do a Wii title, we would want to take absolute advantage of the Wii's abilities. Likewise, if we were to do an Xbox 360 title then we would want to make it as strong graphically as a 360 title can be. But we'd also want to make it something that could easily be ported to the PS3, and vice versa. In our perspective those are very similarly linked SKUs. Particularly when you're looking at a game with a 15 million dollar budget, we would want to be able to make it work on both.

If you look at the on-paper specs, the PS3 doesn't have this mythical, untapped reservoir of power. There's been a lot of talk about that, but it doesn't seem to be there. I have yet to see the evidence of this. It's always hard, a generation out - I'm not suggesting it won't happen, though.

He's not working on Mercenaries, he's from Pandemic Australia known for Destroy All Humans! series, but I think this quote can tell us a lot.

You can have as much power as you want and you still can not perform graphical fidelity on the screen. Graphics is much more thatn just power calculation.

To Everyone who says the textures and Jaggies are bad: The screens are blown up to about %10^1000, which makes it look real horrible. That's what I ahte about sites and people blowing up things when that's not its native size.

I actually think the game looks great, but without videos we look at it and assume the worse.
