These screenshots look better than the old screenshots....HS never looked nearly as hot in screenshots as it does in motion...the game looks really good...seriously bitching about the graphics...have you seen it in motion? Even the E3 build looked really great...and these environments look a hundred times more interesting

It was artistic. That's what made it different from the other games.

Hopefully you can undress her and then go for a swim. This game needs to more adult! We need nudity and gore, make it like Ninja Scroll

eh what? Everything is clean and well modelled. Looks good to me
I mean to say the pictures haven't suddenly become awesome. What was true before from the GamePro shots in terms of positives and negatives remain, but some of the negative aspects we were inferring from the quality of the small shots haven't been quite as accurate when we got the full resolution shots.nelsonroyale said:

Am I the only one who gets a weird Alice in wonderland vibe from this one shot, the sense of scale to be precise. I can' help but feel that she's been shrunk to a fraction of her size :|Nozi said:

In my opinion, aside from the cuts, HS never looked like a graphical powerhouse. Where it has always seemed to impress was in the animation department, where it has looked incredible. That said, it's not finished up just yet and I expect that it will only get better as the dev process comes to a close.

Gamepro has the so called "blow out" right? I hope they release at least one new video to get me excited again. Getting her naked or at least wet would be a big plus.
What's disturbing is textures resolution, the ones close to the character have normal mapping applied, but it's not going as far as it should. I think we will see lots of improvement, at least I hope so. Cause if we won't, then HS won't be able to reach quality of other SONY 1st party efforts. Uncharted, Lair, Ratchet And Clank, LBP, 8 Days - they are ahead in terms of technical achievements, some even surpass HS in animation department IMO(Uncharted).
Everytime I make a post, I start to thinking about things I'm commenting, and actually I remembered that Andy Serkis is doing all those awesome cut scenes, and that story behind HS is epic as hell. I'm excited yet again

They could have done much better with the mountains, it's not difficult:
Take your basic mountain model, add a normal map, model the volumes onto the model based on what the normal map shows. Done. It can usually be done with few additional triangles unless the original model was old-genish. And since they are mountains you can make the texture tile less, the player won't go next to it.
As for the rest, tile your textures moreso cause that is some bad texture resolution, and no we won't notice they are tiling because we are close to everything. Add more polys to the scene, it's very blocky, add them especially to anything that is supposed to be curved. Can't believe they can't add more to the scene than this. One part where some could be saved would be in those mesh-smoother branches at the top that still look like meshsmoothed branches (with the wide junction).
And who am I talking to?
EDIT: I'm talking about the scene where she looks at the natural stairs.

it didnt look that good in pics though, this will look even better in motion probably
nelsonroyale said:
No I think something is definitely off. The new pics look flat and lifeless.
Look at the screen below - it looks so vibrant.
If nAo is saying that nothing has technically being downgraded it means the artists have tweaked things and it doesn't have that pop anymore.
Anyway I still have great expectations for this game - hopefully they'll realise this and the new videos will impress.

concept arts looks absolutely awesome but i don't think they translate that well in the actual game, don't know how to explain...
as for the new screen shots, i don't know if it's just that some locations look better than other but i like old e3 (isn't that the e3 build?) shots much more
