The game does look modern.
I think everyone will agree with me on that.

Its not there fault the game doesn't look as good as you expected.
They started development a few years ago on the Gamebryo engine.
Over the course of those years theres new engines and improved engines but its too late.
Also how do we know those screens are not a mixture of previous code and final code screenshots?

I never said gameplay only matters I said I would take gameplay over graphics.
Although graphics do sell units.

The game will looks better in motion anyway.
Graphics do look good to me.
