Ps,
They are working on making the grapics alot more real with larger skeltle structures,facial features,realalistic world mapping,and human motion capture .
The game will look 5x better when finshed.
They haven`t finshed the world maps yet!

Impressive. But then again, for a 2003 release, this game might become pretty crappy in comparison. Strictly going off of what we've got today, simply impressive.

heck yeah! those trees look great, but i'm not all that impressed by the buildings and textures...i wish games would incorporate more lif-like colors....like the ones in the nature scene of 3dmark2001
