If these are ingame shots then they are far more impressive than you realise (and this is unlikely to be the best the XBox has to offer).
The first thing many will notice is the excellent bump-mapping, however, look very carefully at those pics and you will see real-shadows
throughout, not just shadows cast on walls and falls, but shadows cast from EVERY polygon!
For example, the character\'s hair casts a shadow onto her head, in the last pic you can see her shadow on the robot\'s foot, and look very closely at the shadows in the 4th and 6th pics above! Awesome. This kind of lighting has ONLY previously be seen in pre-rendered images. No PS2 game I\'ve seen demonstates lighting like this!
I\'m really looking forward to movies of this and other XBox games following CES today.
