You can easily see the quality of the textures in those pictures. It changes nothing. The detail won't be better, and bump mapping wont magically appear but I guess I will have to kill your denial even more: in the first picture I showed:
http://i.imgur.com/Ci2O4te.png the angle is the same. In the further parts of the crysis2 screenshot (and the others too), the angle is really extreme and the texture still looks great. In fact, it looks even better, because you can appreciate the depth and bump mapping. The textures in the video have painted rocks, but without bump mapping they look terrible.
Comparing graphics to other titles is not off topic, since it is useful to get the final level of detail, opposed to the expected level of detail. A downgrade is far more likely when there are indicators of low graphical quality. Rules seem to be reaaaaally strict when comments are critical and not to exist when they are trivial fanboyism. This is something that happened constantly in the SW:tOR forums.
Anyway, there is nothing else I have to say. If this is the PC version, we have been lied about the detail we would get. I expected, in all aspects, quality typical of a 2015 game, not a 2007 one. And no matter how many times someone tries to hide this, the pictures are there, and they don't lie. No amount of marketing, or poetic videos with epic phrases will change that.
