I really don't think that these screenshots are below the AC09 standard,it would be really hard to believe that they didn't work on their graphics from their previous titles.
Some people say that these are shots from a Beta version(I really hope they are right) but I don't understand why would they release 'the first look' from an unpolished version of the game.
Part of me says that this shots are from the final version taken on a low end PC and the other half argues that they released these as haven't yet finished their game so they may be dela...

Now the pessimist part of me is mocking the optimist one . He asks " why did they release the shot from the beta version when this was the first time the world was looking at their game?" He suggests that the game is del...
The optimist me is happy that Chief fixed those "Bugs".

Part of the licensing clearance of screenshots is that there will be a time delay between when they are taken and when they are approved for release.

I'd guess after backwards bat and floaty head, the approvals process might take a little longer for the next round...heh...

Chief said that the issues(bugs in screenshots) are fixed in the release version of the game.Does that mean that the release version in ready?

I would love to have a floating-head keeper.

maybe they are thinking of releasing a zombie version of the game, like in Red Dead Redemption. Dhoni without a body, and he wants to eat your brains...

Just like you can't judge a book by it's cover, you can't judge a game by it's screenshots.Will be definitely buying if this get released on the date mentioned, who doesn't want to get hands on the latest game of your all time favourite sport and especially if it releases during vacations.

However if the the book had a cover on which the title was spelt incorrectly or the photo was blurred it would make me think twice before buying, especially after having read two earlier books in the series I was left with a rather strange feeling of "was it worth it", and furthermore especially if the representative of the publishers had stated a long time ago that he would be expecting to show previews and content of the book " some time around February"...,.

But of course I speak hypothetically....
