watch the trailer again and pause it a few times and take a look at the graphics. because its in movement and far away you wont notice the textures as you would with a screenshot since the in-game videos always move around and dont focus on the little things like hands and facial features. but if you pause it they will look no different from these images. and to everyone else, just seriously think before you say "did they downgrade the graphics?" because they didn't, its the same as it has always been if not better.

You're 100% right, ugly pics should b scrutinized, but shouldn't be used as "evidence" of a downgrade.

I'm not arguing, these pics are terrible.

I almost get mad when ppl say its not looking good. Compare with other games with the same grade of detail and open areas...

The city is kind of huge, so if you expect graphics like in Gears of War you're stupid. Compare to Saints Row instead.

Compare it with Crackdowns character textures.

Nobody expects Gears of War-level visuals in a game this big, and *you'd* have to be stupid to think that people expect that.

Also, nobody said the game itself wasn't good looking; they did say that the ugly first screen is, in fact, ugly.

The trailers out.
