although i agree with this sentiment, again we see the boards biggest Sfag throwing previous heroes to the wolves.
The PS3 is in trouble if this shocking trend continues
Not really. It's not getting any Japa support anyway. When FFXIII is really unveiled, I predict either massive tears or massive braggadochioooo
What happened here? I remember some of the trailer movies that looked utterly phenomenal... go figure, them graphically scaling back a PS3 game. I'm still really hyped for it, it's still my most wanted PS3 game.
The game still looks excellent.

Not really one exception-- maybe Project Aces.
For a game that needs more then 50GBs of space, I'd expect greatness. I'd expect it to be not green and have textures/visuals like the first tech demo(LOOK AT THIS MUSTACHE!!!). the second shot isn't too bad but alot of stuff is really flat. The 3rd shot confuses the fuck out of me and the leg(?) looks kinda poor.
I don't understand where the green comment comes from...it's poor CMYK compression or artistic choice. Take your pick. Has nothing to do with, like, polygon pushing power.
Textures/visuals have nothing to do with the size and more to do with the power. RSX is obviously not what Kojima was told the PS3 had. The third shot confuses you because it is meant to confuse you. It's a bad shot. If it was part of a screenshot package released by Konami, they suck. If it wasn't, then it's obvious implicit trolling.
Furthermore, the mustache is still there. I still think the hair and mustache and musculature in the final snake model is very impressive. It's obviously where the poly budget is.
Kojima never said it filled a dual layer BD....it was never specified. People just ran with it.
