Pandemic releases some new images of Mercenaries 2. The game seems to be coming along quite nicely, and we can't wait to see how big and destructible the world really is.

Nothing on Xbox can come close to those graphics.
I know, but it just doesn't look like a 360 next gen game, more like a Xbox1 port to Xbox360 made by lazy developers :P
sorry thats just how it looks to me :)
I do know that some of these games look better when in motion or from player view. Cinematic screenshots just make a mockery out of these graphics.
Anyways, I know I should shut it :P since I always say gameplay comes fist, but that doesn't meen that ugly looking game is ok... They should put some full screen filter on it or something, and desaturate those colours a bit.

Looks like a next-gen game to me. Look at the 3rd screen. I haven't seen a jungle look that good besides Crysis. The 1st screen reminds me of a GRAW multiplayer map, with much better graphics.
Its one thing to make an open world game with good graphics, but one thats FULLY destructible is an even harder thing to do. Lazy developers is certainly not the case here.
You guys should seriously watch this game in action. The destructability of environments is most impressive. And that jungle looks amazing in the 3rd image. Plus, controlling boats like in the 2nd picture, will be awesome.

IIRC the jungle level in Perfect Dark Zero looks almost identical.
i really don't understand how people can say these graphics aren't next gen. These are pretty good for a sandbox game. The lighting is pretty neat, especially in the forests. Not to mention the amount of destruction you can do.
I hope you can pick your persona, like in the original. Because that guys looks as stupid as ever. He was lame in the first one and he is still lame in this one.

World in Mercenaries 2 will be as big as world in Mercs1, but it won't be separated into 2 areas this time.
Wonga, they were massive in Mercs 1, except you couldn't see very far because of the 'fog of war' or something. I never really got a chance to explore the second area though.
I think it looks good enough, and if the destructabilty is there, I could care less how a building looks before I take a RL to it.

Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (5 Weeks ago)

By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (7 Weeks ago)

Its one thing to make an open world game with good graphics, but one thats FULLY destructible is an even harder thing to do. Lazy developers is certainly not the case here.
