Electronic Arts released these three screenshots of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix running on a PS3. We're really looking forward to seeing more of this game.
That looks like the environment is unfinished and missing a whole lot of stuff like diffuse maps or lighting, UNLESS this is a deliberate effect in which case there is just one thing to say: It looks shit. ;)
I think the backgrounds look weird because...i don't know if you have read the books so i'll try not to give anything away...but the place they are in is, if i remember the description correctly, is like glossy black stone, which is why there is a lack of texture detail, and i also think they are trying to make it look sorta magical because they bricks i think move around or something.
As for the player models, yeh they look good but slighty off, like look at Ron, there is something a bit wrong with the colours or something...i've noticed this in other screenshots. Maybe its that thing that is happening now with games, that the graphics look so real that when something is slightly not realistic it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Sure they do; it all depends on the strength and angle of the light source.
More specifically, depends on the ratio of direct light to difuse light. Even a penlight will cast a black shadow in an unlit room. Conversely, A spotlight won't cast much of a shadow on a bright sunlit day (depending on distance of course).

@Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)
