I wonder if they Went lower on the graphics to make it more available to others. Still, they don't look that crisp from the one ScreenShot. I am still hoping this thing works out.
Even if they did, it still looks pretty decent to me. The rocks could use some work, and I'msure they could do a better job with the atmospheric effects... but still, not terrible, IMO. (I will stipulate, though, that I haven't seen EVE and haven't played many new games recently, so I'mnot quite up to date on what cutting edge graphics look like.)
