You mean you liked the popping?

Edit: never mind, there still is popping, I just didn't notice because I can't get more than two frames per second playing back the video on my suck computer. It's just not as bad as with the Xbox.

Me too, I want it so bad... the problem is though that I dont have Vista yet, and my computer I have right now probably cant have Vista installed on it. I need a new computer, : (.
BTW I think he went from Keyboard to Xbox controller, near the end I started seeing the x's to pick up weapons.

Those graphics, though improved, still look like ass. Perhaps it's the small size of the video clip that makes it appear like that, but I hope that's not all they can do.

"Popping" is the phenomenon of seeing resources load before your eyes (such as an object with low resolution textures, lack of bump maps, etc, and then suddenly appearing with high quality textures and bump maps loaded). It usually occurs when the camera changes angles or position abruptly. The "pop" lasts only a fraction of a second. It seems to be especially apparent during cut scenes.

I thought they would want to take advantage of the roomier PC and keep those things in memory all the time, but I guess they didn't... at least not yet.

Well, in those new pictures, you can tell they had anti-aliasing enabled, and it looks much better.
