There was that recent interview where they said it isn't fair to compare a trailer to gameplay, so the implication is the game probably can't replicate the quality of the Sword of Destiny stuff. Not entirely surprising, since the 35 minute demo didn't look as good as Sword of Destiny, and the game looks worse than that now.
Well,the demo was pretty close to the SoD quality IMO.Back then that was the 'high setting' and the game should've looked much better at the release.And here we are now.I would defend them but I really don't know how.Every criticism is justified.
