I would never read too much into screenshots. They are always taken at a very high resolution long before the game is released (see GT4), and when you actually see the game in motion, you don't really pay attention to the substandard graphics that the previous screenshots didn't allude to. While I have no doubt that next gen games will look fantastic, I do doubt that these screens are just mockups of a game that may currently be in development.
The problem is that we know those shots are doctored to the Nth degree and it will never look like that on the Xbox 2.

As the moon slips up, and the sun sets down,
I'm a highrise jockey, and I'm heaven-bound.
Do the workboot shuffle, loose brains from brawn.
I'm a monkey puzzle and the lid is on.
Can you guess my name? Can you guess my trade?
I'm going to catch you anyway.
You might be right. I'll give you guesses three.
Feel me climbing up your knee.
Guess what I am. I'm a steel monkey.
Now some men hustle and some just think.
And some go running before you blink.
Some look up and some look down
from three hundred feet above the ground.
Can you guess my name? And can you guess my trade?
Well, I won't rest before the world is made.
Arm in arm the angels fly.
Keep me from falling out the sky.
Steel monkey.
I work in the thunder and I work in the rain.
I work at my drinking, and I feel no pain.
I work on women, if they want me to.
You can have me climb all over you.
Now, have you guessed my name?
And have you guessed my trade?
I'm cheap at the money I get paid.
In the sulphur city, where men are men,
we bolt those beams then climb again.

If you believe those are in game shots or anything close to what in game shots will be, you should steer clear on the next gen consoles. It will only disappoint you.
Yeah dude. :roll: Project Gotham and Dead of Alive 3 were pretty much exactly like their screen shots. These are HD games (up to 1920x1080). Don't expect for it to look like that if you have some sh!tty 27" crap TV.
Those are concept art pieces, not exactly screen shots you're thinking about. Again, you're going to be disappointed if you expect anything like those "screens" suggest. This isn't rocket science. It's one step up in video cards. I'm speaking of the "2 days to Vegas' shots. The other games could very well be accurate shots since non of them look impressive.

Basically, 99% of promo screens are rendered. My guess is that these are HEAVILY rendered and nothing like gameplay.
Lol even though they loo nice, the reflections are used WAAAY too much that it makes me think LV is squeaky clean and shiny everywhere, not the dirty buildings with smog all over them
Where are the screenshots? And at any rate, bv is on the mark with his post. Further, I already have two PCs more powerful, capable & versatile than any console we'll see anytime soon. Why buy another (ie. a console)?

A. Microsoft's intentions with the 360 is for it to usher in HD gaming, which means up to 1920x1080 pixles of resolution, current non HDTVs are 640x480.
B. This is next gen hardware, the 360 will have a GPU more powerful than $500 videocards you can buy today, and we know what games like HL2, Doom3, and FarCry can bring at high res - these screens are only a step up from that level which is only logical.
C. Because console game developers can program their games to utilize the full power of the console - as opposed to PC game developers, who have to assume an average hardware power in order to include a large enough player base to actually make money, PC games developed for only the fastest systems could probably look as good as what we see here in these screens, but it wouldn't make anyone much money considering it'd cater to so few users. When the average hardware on the new consoles is supposed to be faster gaming hardware than anything we have for PC today, is it so hard to believe these screens aren't real game shots? If you ask me, if they're doctored or cut scene screens, they aren't very good...

it looks closer to HL2 graphics cranked up more than anything. IMO if you have a high end TV I think you could expect graphics similar to that. But as mention before if you have a low end 27" only expect it to look half that good or less.
I think if it wasn't for the vehicles it would look more like in game screen. Those cars look real aside of some looking way to clean.
