I don't get these graphics. No sense of depth or scale, but the game clearly has vista's and distance and size. This weird ass mix of materials and surfaces, too, with lots of plain surfaces against all reason and others with gradient/metal sheen effects, but all looking cheap and some even out of place.
Look at the concrete buildings compared to metal parts compared to the van you drive in and the characters you meet. Its... neh. All could've come from different games.
I actually don't mind the graphics, and if the story is good and engaging does it really matter?
Im already a fan, french soundtrack, very oldschool french looking game, windwaker esc cell shaded graphics.
Just looks liek a fun place to roam around in.
Course we dont know anything really about it yet but colour me intrigued.
