OK will look at black levels now - didn't know that.
Concept, not seen the PS3 version so can't obviously can't compare. And going by this thread, there are only a few people saying the graphics are a bit ropey - which makes me think everyone is blinded by hype TBH
I just want to make it clear, I am impressed in so many ways with this game. Up close, the interaction going on is superb - how crashes jolt car occupants, the particle effects, the fact I don't recall seeing a repeated pedestrian or car in any single scene. This is all good stuff.
My complaints are just balancing out the hype a little. The more I play the story, the less evolved it seems - we're repeating previous games quite a lot now, not just in the missions themselves, but the cutscenes and how they're written and "edited" together. It's not as mature as I first thought. I was expecting a more evolving, interactive storyline, and maybe it'll improve.
The shimmering graphics are there. mainly if you look for them. Keep your eyes firmly on the front (bottom) of the screen, it's fine (just ignore the low res shadows). Start looking around and it can fall apart, but the more I play it, I think that may be more apparent at certain times of day and with certain weather conditions.
There are times up close, where you could mistake this for a blurry VHS film, it can look that realistic with the animation (though the interpolating between animations isn't that good) and all that's going on around you. Now if this looked as sharp as those screenshots that were released, then it would be awesome!
