Another request. Not like you guys haven't thought about all this, but just a reminder...I'm someone who doesn't really care if the graphics are blazingly realistic. If I want realism, I'll look out the window. If T3 looked like T1 with great maps and enhanced gameplay, I wouldn't be bothered in the least. Companies these days seem to be obsessed with pushing the graphics boundries. Sure, it's nice eye-candy and might get a bit of interest, but I truely believe the kind of gamers that hail from Tribes and games like sof2 are far more interested in physics and playability. We want intense, fast based action that stimulates our minds and tests our reactions.
pretty graphics: eye-candy, immediate interest
great physics/playability: long term interest
blah, blah
