DFYB, upgrade your 5 yr old PC hardware and you won't be so easily impressed.
I'm wondering, exactly which games have you played on your PC that present such high quality models? I've played pretty much every major PC release of the last year without any problems. Crysis was easily the most impressive, though you can't really compare the two as they are focused on different things. Even in the face of stuff like Crysis, this is one of the best looking games I've ever seen. Your PC may be very powerful, but it doesn't mean a whole lot without the software. The majority of PC exclusive titles over the past year really haven't pushed the platform all that hard and certainly aren't going for anything even remotely similar to this.
In reality, I find that most of the very BEST looking PC games are actually console ports that end up running at 60 fps on the PC. Crysis really is the ONLY exception that comes to mind, so that's why I'm wondering what I've missed out on.
Wow. And just wait 'til it's running on PS3.
That kind of comment can be made in reference to just about every new title, though. You develop these games on the PC. I highly doubt they would waste time designing things the target platform is unable to handle, however. I'd imagine the only difference in visual quality you'll see when direct feed PS3 shots surface is image quality. These are heavily anti-aliased shots, which isn't going to last, but (if virtually every other early game showing is any indication) the content should remain. It's not as if the visuals here are really that far beyond other Japanese games focusing on character models. Devil May Cry 4 is very close in terms of model quality as is MGS4. The main difference here is the quality of the hair. Beyond that, there's nothing other-worldy here.
