This game is just incredibly inconsistent modeling. Blame it on the developers, but surprisingly enough, they hit more notes than a lot of others so it's hard to completely bash em. Check it out though.
The face modeling is actually very good. Skin looks good, lips are glossy and real, eyes look good.. Then we get a shitty plastic wig. Then to boot, check out the shitty tree in the backround, the skewed looking geometry, and the lack of a consistent light source. The whole look is pretty lifeless. So you get some good some bad. Incredible work put into the cleavage though. Why waste time on hair when you got cleavage to model.
Check out the texturing on the main character's suit. Also characters in the backround naturally acting out whatever. Decent cityscape. Not bad. The weak.. ground textures, the tendency of jaggy polygons(completely the fault of developers now, hardware's all there), Insane hair for a black man, and the coat on the black guy. Also, those glasses just are not physically on tom cruise. They don't lay on his nose right, the light isn't reflected the same off the character and glasses.. they look like an extra a 7 year old would have thrown on his create-a-wrestler in WWF No Mercy. Also, the characters are all stiff in their interaction. They don't exist. Some of the better games next gen will certainly fix that. Kojima for one..
Ok, the good, really good actually. The character's texture. Light shining on the suit, the completely natural look of it, the shadows on him.. The bad? The wall texture! How does something that finely detailed look laying on a blurry wall like that? Like a beautiful thumb, on a sore hand. And overall the design is pretty generic, uninspired. Map, gun selection, etc. But I mean, you can't expect more really from this game but it could be fun.
Probably the 2 best shots. Good environment textures, character models, lighting, decent trees. Though the ground is just a massive blur in the 1st. But anyway, it's coming along. They're showing impressive aspects at least, within an inconsistent package.

The only place you see shades like those is Texas. And usually they come bundled with a wifebeater shirt, not a suit.

It looks terrible.
I could understand if it was a game from Namco Hometek, but with the Japanese text it looks like a game from Namco Japan, sad.

Terrible compared to what?
Some of you guys are so demanding and critical when it comes to graphics, it's ridiculous. Those screenshots are well beyond anything I've seen in a free-roaming console game this gen. It's running on hardware that's less expensive than a high-end graphics card, let alone a high-end gaming PC. Yet despite this, people will still complain that a title like this looks 'terrible'. WTF did you honestly expect in one generation, a jump from Xbox-quality graphics to visuals indistinguishable from your favorite movies and TV shows? People really need to start scaling back their expectations to something approaching reality.

If you compare the shots with GTA San Andreas they certainly look good. But GTA SA was as we all know built on the PS2 and the graphical improvements on the xbox aren't that dramatic.... Compare it with Riddick or some other good looking game on the box and I say it's quite unimpressive.

Right. People tend to "forget" this is an open-ended GTA-like game: it's all about wide open and fully populated cities, and such graphics for a game of this kind is really, really good.joaomgcd said:How anyone can say this could easily be done on Xbox is beyond me:

So THAT's how they got the name:
Frame = Shades
City = D'uh
Killer = Yeah...
Frame = Shades
City = D'uh

Personally, I agree with a most here- this game looks OK. As for the wall textures though, isn't it possible that they just don't have all of their art assets in place yet?

It has been nice so far to see steady improvement from each batch of new shots to the next. And seeing what they've got going now, she should look pretty damned pretty in-game...
Lighting and material shaders are much-improved. That girl's top actually looks like leather. 
Environments could still use some work though. And I hope they use more variety for the crowded streets, instead of just using the same characters over and over. At least pallete swap some of it. PEACE.

This game looks great in motion, If I were getting a X360 this year I would get FCK. I hope Namco fixes the rag doll and the physics

Some of you people are tragic.
This is an open ended game not some hallway shooter.

Embarressing!
Won't be touching this one at all.
Shenmue looked more impressive, and that's a 4/5 year old game on last gen hardware.

You must have the downloaded patched texture replaced version of Shenmue.
Link?
Indeed, sometimes I doubt some of the people here use any logic before they post. Nitpicking on character detail when:krypt0nian said:Some of you people are tragic.

- Everyone in the whole city is of that detail and they still look better than these 5-6 people on screen max that feature in the current gen game(s) they're comparing it to.
-It's a free roaming city, not a few 20' x 20' rooms stringed together.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm pretty hyped for this game. I think it's in part that it's a launch game that doesn't fall in the standard FPS/Racing/Sports genres that are done to death at launches.
