I just love how casually this guy walks in a power-loader WITHOUT SLIGHTEST FACIAL EXPRESSION!!!

Awful eyes without any expression, they are simply blank, plus they are lo-res.
The smoke is obviously 2D - I know it's all about smokes and mirror and making things look nice with good frame-rate and certain sacrifices have to be made, but - at least in the trailer - its flatness was very obvious...
The design of the bigger spaceship is to me very uninspired, both in its architecture, its textures and relative lack of bump-mapping...
Your thoughts?
We'll for the most part you are right but it's all about perspective.
The marine you see is only a stock marine (like stock villians they are generally going to have to look the same and not at all expressive only to make it seem that they are generic) If they were expressive, Jim Carey like, then you'll have a whole army of Jim Careys no?
The smoke you see is actually really good quality rendered smoke in 2d much like the other from the start of the trailer.
No complaints there.
The ship looks uninteresting mainly because it is from the era of the Sulaco and is a military ship. Its meant to look armour plated as compared to the nostromo and its cargo (these would have to look much different).
I don't see these gripes as nothing more than subjective artistic measure. They look fantastic to me. But you're baffled so maybe you can elaborate your fustrations.
