That said the textures are really low res & specularity on metals is quite off.almost makes them look plastic.Light volumes have noisy edges, shadowing while not jagged are still poor with dithering & lots of noise/flickering and they also seem to have their LOD switch occur as soon as the player move just 3 meters from them. daytime sequences are easily the area that gets affected the most due to the low resolution. I must stress that the game looks extremely nice in the night sequences, switch to day sequences & the cover's blown. The animations for movements & facial expressions are okay at best. Lightning,Fog & mist are great and lastly interactive foliage ! finally a console game where interactive foliage is done right. Now on to the visuals.first off, the game is a nice looker overall & the subHD resolution doesn't seem to effect it "that" much aliasing is surprisingly quite minimal here, shader aliasing & some aliasing on edges covered with fog/mist were probably the only cases where its obviously noticeable. Ammo supply is "just right" so any wastage means you will fall short of ammo & special items like flare gun & flares are pretty scarce for now, but atleast the game makes sure to give you plenty of batteries for your flashlight. The game hints you in loading screens that you should just run away if you are way outnumbered but the problem is my character couldn't run for more than 10 meters & these enemies can teleport & seem to have unlimited supplies of axes to throw. The Gameplay is good but the combat is kind of clunky imo, I started on Hard & I found some places very difficult. The best part of the game are the environments they are sooooooo well done that you're just going to get sucked into the game & loose track of time just because you always want to see more & more.kudos to Remedy for getting this part spot on ! While the voice acting may not be as good as other games but its convincing enough. The writing is really great in this game & so is the sound design/music, really gives me the creeps. Excellent Game ! I know I said I won't be playing it while I wait for my LE to arrive, but seriously the game so good & gripping that I couldn't resist.and I played 2 episodes straight away (took me 2.5 hours).
