graphically it doesn't really look bad at all. 3 had some hardcore AA issues and everyone was so polygonal you could count their triangles just by looking at them.
and how do these screenshots look worse than 3??
I wont be buying this game on release, mind you. I dont know enough about it to judge whether or not it'll be fun, but to be putting the game down for its graphics comparative to the older games is completely absurd.
