Am i the only one who thinks the visuals get downgraded evertime new shots come out ?

No. I think about it too.
Very sadly

I am sure it will look better when i have it on my tv :D... but screen shots are looking worse each time :(

the game is complete?

Nope.

don't think they look worse... just a different lightning than usual.

Hey ugly! What's in the box?

cool~!

quite ugly in screenshots, but in motion this game is full of little touches that make it look great, chronicles of riddick was the same, so many little touches in game mechanics and graphics (although it also had amazing graphics for the lowly xbox)

They rely too much on the lighting and normal maps it seems. It's like the huge visual difference between Saints Row if you move your character into the shadows and then in front of a bright light source, massive difference in apparent detail.

I can't really comment on the screenshots since I prefer to watch things in full motion before passing judgement, but in terms of the enemy you fight they seem more human than anything else. From the previous screenshots to these current ones all the enemies were just deranged looking clowns. Not to say you can't have crazies in this game just that i don't really see where's the "bio" in bioshock.

I always thought it looked a little "plastic". The movies we saw looked a lot better with the lighting and all, but still the characters, except for the big daddy's, are not that appealing.

I think the reason these look worse is because they were probably taken by the person doing the competition at 2k, they might be using their own PC, and had to run it at meduim settings.

I can't wait till the game comes out.

The game looks way better when playing it, then again i can,t wait to play this amazing rpg.

So... this is also on PS3? I didn't know that.

Those of you complaining about the graphics: take a have a look at the pictures resolution. That might have something to do with it :)

Yeah... Well I sort of have to agree with some earlier poster (on other Bioshock related news) that the 'art direction' is going downhill characterwise. Big daddys looked great (and still do) when the first footage started coming out, but now all we're seeing is blue clowns and mental patients and other poorly done, weird mutants.

No comments on the graphics otherwise - it's in development and it'll probably look great when finished anyway. And yes... there still the actual content :)

This is what they call "soft landing".

C'mon guys, not so bad. I'm sure will look much better in motion.

Wow, MASSIVE downgrade. I really don't understand it -- that year-old, 15-minute walkthrough was obviously real-time and appeared to be running on the 360 (the HUD had 360 button mappings), and looked incredible. This looks worse than Condemned.

Well this looks on par with the Demo video.. Non?! no? I think it does ;)

Welcome to the world of video games

I said that too when I first saw those shots on Team XBOX. All the other shots looked much better then these lastest ones. I don't get why that would be though?

I think it's because there's a certain fogginess in most of these shots, compared to the higher contrast environments shown previously. It's like someone has the gamma up too high. Look at the grey haze behind the enemy in the 4th shot... This makes the areas (and the player's gun) just look a lot more flat. The last shot, which is higher contrast, looks much better.
