3. The art style doesn't look quite as good as I was hoping it would in-engine. I still think the style itself is amazing, and it does look good in-engine, but it's not as clean or poppy as I was expecting it to be based on the CG preview and concept art from last year. Cody said it best: It feels much too flat and understated. Certain objects and enemies also seem difficult to read based on the footage we've seen, particularly in low-light areas, which is uh... not necessarily good for gameplay (unless that's what they're going for in those areas).

All the stranger, when they bring out art from Craig Mullins, and specifically highlight how he visually defined marathon. Then they go and create a game that looks nothing like what he did. They even put his piece beside two others from the current team, and there is no resemblance at all but for the pose.

Why do that when the game doesn't look like this?

I'm not saying that the game has to look any certain way (as I said before, I quite liked what the earlier trailers did), but if you're going for something new why not just own it instead of bringing out art from the OG Trilogy that has nothing to do with your current game?
