Nope. Looked fine to me. 

i thought it looked good. also demo was great! cant wait for full game

I'm personally "underwhelmed" with the whole game. I  haven't really seen anything from the available coverage that makes it worthy of a day one purchase.

Underwhelmed? Not at all.  
Then again, I don't really care much about graphics, so maybe my opinion doesn't count.

Looks fine to me, not every game can look like Crysis.

" Underwhelmed? Not at all.  Then again, I don't really care much about graphics, so maybe my opinion doesn't count. "

I wonder why they didn't release a PC demo - it's like they want their game to be pirated. :/

" Im not saying it didnt look good. im just saying it didnt look like a GOW 3 or a Uncharted.  Im not saying Graphics mean everything, im just saying it would be nice if they impressed. "

I was shocked at how bland it looked.

It looks good to me, except for the jaggies. Apparently, HDR and anti-aliasing don't work together on the 360.

The NPC models looked very bland and almost "Last-Gen". This game should look on par, if not better than, Assassin's Creed 2. I thought the game play was pretty good. Hopefully you can customize the controls because the defaults felt "wrong."

It doesn't have to look like Uncharted. It looks awesome, games don't need to have those kinds of graphics as a standard. Gameplay is what matters.

i think it looked great

" @sopranosfan: But to the hardcore, dosent it having the worse graphics seem like a Negative thing? A weakness? "

I thought it looked good

I care more about a smooth frame-rate then pretty graphics. Double Agent had a poopy frame-rate.

" @MB:  So, you dont think it makes 360 the worse console if it dosent have the best graphics compared to PS3? "

What the fuck is with this kid and graphics?  Cheese and Rice.

Not really. Kinda underwhelmed by the gameplay, but no, the graphics seemed good enough.

you cant expect games to leap frog each other with every new release that comes out. Uncharted 2 and GOW3 are currently at the peak of where graphics are now but you cant demand that every game hit that level. There are certain standards people have of what a game looks like but those two games should not be your standard for all games to look like. I have yet to play the Conviction demo but im looking more toward how the game play is than thinking this will be the best looking game ever.

" But let me ask you another question: Do you think 360 games will continue to Advance graphically to compete with PS3? Or is it going to hit a wall on 360 where they stop improving ina  meaningful way? If 360 stopped having graphics that competed with PS3 exclusives, is it going to hurt the 360? "

Aside from the occasional animation issues (Sam pausing and snapping into a kill animation sometimes, execuitions pausing for a second while the computer decides who Sam should shoot first), the games looks really good. Best of the consoles? No. Best of the Xbox360? Also a no, but its very good overall.

I thought it was fine, nothing amazing of course.  Graphics are nice, but they're not required for a great game.

I was somewhat underwhelmed. I thought it looked fine, but Splinter Cell games have traditionally been among the best looking upon their release. Conviction looks fine, but is a step behind the games you've mentioned. If 360 fans want a graphics king, they'll have to look towards Alan Wake.

Duder, can I ask you a question instead?  Why are so many of your posts driven by graphics obsession? I ask because I think you don't really understand what drives success in the gaming business, in many cases the most successful consoles historically speaking  have been the lowest powered systems(Atari 2600, NES and Wii).  "

When you're worrying over graphics in your video games, you might want to stop, turn the console off and relax by watching some of that HD porn. But be warned. There might be some visible compresion artifacts. Suicide may be the only option.

Graphically I thought it looked fine but I was somewhat underwhelmed with the new mechanics in the game (last known position, interrogation) and I really hope in the final game the controls are customizable because I threw down a bunch of pocket EMPs and sticky cams trying to reload with the X button. I mean what the hell, L2 to reload? Really?

Oh there is no high contrast shadowing... Not a big deal.

Graphics should not be the first thing that you consider about a game. It is just icing to the cake.
 
And why are random words capitalized? It is so confusing...

" @sopranosfan: But to the hardcore, dosent it having the worse graphics seem like a Negative thing? A weakness? "

well i can't speak for the graphics of this game but a lot of developers say they have maxed out the 360 already so i doubt any improvements for years to come. but to be honest it is a exclusive the 360 is getting and if the gameplay is top notch then the poor textures shouldn't take away from the experience

Chaos Theory was, to me, the best looking game on the Xbox, best looking game of last generation consoles, so in that sense you could say Conviction doesn't live up to that. 
 
That said, I was happy with them, they look good. The only thing unexpected was the frame-rate, which didn't seem to get bogged down all that much.

" I wonder why they didn't release a PC demo - it's like they want their game to be pirated. :/ "

Yeah I  was kinda disappointed in the graphics, but the game was pretty fun.

yeh it was kind of mediocre. I loved splinter cell and the demo was a bit of a dissappointment. Lets hope the final game delivers

the bathroom scene was look really good, although i get what you mean, outside it just didnt feel like.. splinter cell

I found the controls to be a bit weird at first. If there's one thing it's how easy it is, you can just bullrush and hand-to-hand kill them all.
