I seriously thought that text behind the Highlander said New Mechs: Annihilator (http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Annihilator) and I was all "WHAT" but then I read again and was disappointed.

they're also game marketers and art directors

What? First of all, game marketing should be the publishers job in this case.

And lets be honest here, the community will always make better in-game videos then the devs. I have yet to see where this hasn't been the case.

My suggestion would be to have someone from the community make the trailers. Saves money and encourages community development.

Game gets better and better and then they throw in the 3rd person mode...

wait. marketing a game has nothing to do with how good you make it look? someone being paid to do something is expected to do worse than someone who isn't?

We have discussed internally releasing 3rd person via the training grounds first. This would allow the player base to provide useful feedback on the implementation.

Modders where able to make skyrim more beautiful because of there own talents, not because Bethesda art director is terrible.
Do not under estimate the talents of a passionate community.

Nah, he just had to work with console limitations in mind.

It was entirely possible for him to make a great looking game, but when it had to run on that piece of horse sh*t console HW is, he had to make cuts, lots of them... or just never implement them in the first place.

That's one of the reasons you don't see all that many mods on Witcher 2. Graphically, there is nothing to improve, devs themselves provide content updates for free and as such, modders aren't needed.

I say again, countdown to MC-only music packs to go with that speaker system.

I'm talking about the aesthetics, not the graphical fidelity.

That's 3 medium lasers in the left arm. The right arm fires what sounds like a Gauss Rifle at the end of the clip. So from what we can tell, it has 1 Gauss Rifle, 3 Medium Lasers, 1 LRM 10, and 1 SRM 6 with a kickin' loudspeaker system to boot...

Uh yeah, left .. thx.

Underneath the SRM6 could be an another (med) laser.
