yes, god forbid a staircase look blocky it should be silky smooth like a slide

He's right though. More recent stuff would probably model plaster chunks missing from walls, the sag of wear on the stairs, the balustrades would be all bent and fucked up from rust.
They've done it some, but I expect a new game would do it a lot more. It'd have larger, non repeating textures etc
I do reckon it looks really good though. It's not the stuff that's likely to bother me. They've clearly gone to a lot of bother, one way or another.

Yes dethtoll, god forbid you actual address my point instead of mocking me with a crappy example.
Least Muzman's got my back *fistpound*

Well you should have clarified in the first place so I wouldn't have had room to mock you. Go back to drinking.
And for what it's worth, I have yet to see a single game that has all or even most of what Muzman describes. Not even Stalker. SO kindly stuff it.

Clarified what? My question is what is so impressive about this trailer and all the answers you provided me with so far are shitty ad hominems some of the 18 year old still-high-school-mentality students on my campus could outdo in creativity.

It's weird to see STALKER in Source, but that's about it.

For someone who likes to cry about ad hominem you sure have no problem resorting to insults yourself. And judging by your response to my slide comment, it's clear you don't really know what an ad hominem actually is.
"Look at the staircase, it looks very blocky and polygonal compared to any other game coming out these days." It's a fucking
staircase. In the absence of any further clarification as to what you meant, naturally I'm going to assume that you're whining that the staircase looks like a staircase. So no, my comment about slides is perfectly valid.

I agree with the Stalker sentiment. I guess everything with ruined and desolate buildings and empty countryside set in Russia/Ukraine would garner that comparison now.
But weird? Nahh. I think they pulled off the look very nicely.
