Hi all,
I'm the author of this article--something that might be hard to prove, since Edge doesn't attach author names to its articles, but I have the war wounds to prove it.
Didn't see this thread until a few weeks after publication, but thought I'd clarify: none of those screens were representative of the demo that I was shown at Gearbox's studios back in March. You find me an Xbox 360 game with textures that high-res and I'll show you a very well hidden, high-end PC.
Thanks for reading. Cheers -SM
