Breaking down some of the screenshots

[Ingolf]

Would you guys rather the graphics stay as they are right now and keep this busted ass engine?

They said the game would look different once the new graphical engine was in place, deal with it. That's a major reason why we're going to be able to recreate our characters in 2.0. Honestly if you thought the game would look exactly the same dispite them openly saying it wouldn't, then you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.

They openly said that the graphics would be worse?

They heavily implied it. They specifically mentioned that character models' hair would look "different", which to me means that they're reducing the complexity/poly count.

The build you are looking at there is an Alpha build. Make of that what you will sir. No clue if the screenshots are on a platform or PC. Also the article I got this info from says they are watching it on a laptop. I am not sure if the screen shots that were given are from the same source but they could be.

This runing on a laptop could be close to what ps3 specs would be no?

That is true. It's most likely running on the PS3 anyhow.
