After The Suffering, Psi-Ops and the recent Mortal Kombat games I've developed a real keen eye for Midway. It's great because you just know they put more stuff into this kind of game than you sort of.. expect from this kind of game.

They have a very lighthearted, consoley, interesting and exciting approach to their games these days, and that's a unique quality.

Psi-Ops team is doing Stranglehold. Psi-Ops did rock btw. So does The Suffering, Midway did alright last gen. Would love to see a new Suffering as well.

Is it me or is there a varying quality in those screens? I mean, looking at the gun in this:

... it seems a lot better than the one in this:

Maybe it's just a change in screenshot resolution or something. Nonetheless, the game looks interesting. I agree with the Midway comments, they have been on good form lately.

One is captured from the January trailer, but you'll notice a lot more aliasing in those shots. This is primarly why I don't believe in most of Midways recent screenies, that WW2 game looks extremely crisp too, for a UE3 game that shouldn't have any AA on the platform.

They've got a nice line-up though, and everyone does it, so I guess it's forgivable.

Nope, that is the difference between a dolled up press kit screen shot and a real game play screen shot.

That's pretty shitty if you ask me.

or its the difference between versions. One could be from a PC the other the consoles. Or maybe the one with the crappy textures is from the ps3 lol. Its known for that sort of thing :p

The crappy textures one (from the trailer) is surely from the pc version. Because you can clearly see it from the aiming, that it's done with a mouse.

First Area 51 was a TOTAL CRAP! This one has to be MUCH MUCH MUCH better to have my attentions. Hopefully it will be intensive enough and have some variety...

Really? I was under the impression that the first Area 51 was pretty good. I never played it myself though.

It was decent. It had some cool features and graphical effects, but was a rental at most.

Ha ha, "Releaseeeeee Meeeee" (Independance Day)

Looks good!!! very good infact... I wonder if SCEE can get Killzone looking better? especially if they want to compare to that original E3 trailer. Motorstorm did it pretty well!

This reminds me of Resistance.
