They still need a lot of work on that. Fire in last trailer was at 10fps or something.
Still they didn't even mentioned release Q so they have a lot of time to improve things.

Well, in this shot, that explosion looks like the same old effect, combined 2d, animated planes. (or however it's done, I know shit about 3d technology.
Edit: Also in this video, around the 1:28-29 mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZBTBQYrqek
And don't get me wrong, the game looks decent, it's just that it looks nothing like the reveal video.

Just like Demon's Souls.

I think someone should tweet capcom about this games rendering resolution.
Looking at this latest batch of screens... it is really looking almost like native 720p....

I think they're at a pre-pre-pre-Alpha stage.
Oh wait, online only?... That sucks.

I really hope this is not the case. Footage seems to me to show a blur over much of the textures. Up close textures seem pretty high res to me, but there is a layer of vasaline over them in the direct feed trailer. Maybe they have a crappy AA solution at the moment? Either way 1080p with high res textures, and I think this will be one of the better looking early next gen titles. Otherwise, the visuals may look muddy... IQ in those images and the trailers look worse than a lot of PS3 games to me, so hopefully their capture equipment is to blame.
Those screens are in low resolution but you don't see usual 720p aliasing which means it is either 720p sot downscaled from much higher resolution or some amazing AA without subpixel shimering problems.
Usually it is the first.

I like the aesthetic, but I was expecting something of a bit higher fidelity considering the quality of the debut trailer. If the game does look indeed as good as that trailer, or better, these images don't convey it.
Still looks like a very interesting title though, and one that I'll probably be purchasing in the future.

Actually I see a number of cases of aliasing which implies a non-1080p resolution. Either that or I have a hard time knowing why those edges would look like that in a downscaled image!
Here:
I can only hope that I am wrong and those are artifacts from a crappy PPAA.
What build did they show back in Feb? They said the build back in Feb was runnable on a PC with a 570. They have also said that the graphics quality back then is "easy to achieve". But then they show screenshot after screenshot of a game that looks nothing like the Feb reveal. What happened? And you don't understand that people are a bit concerned?
If you go into a restaurant and look at the menu and order a steak meal that looked absolutely gorgeous on the picture; then while the chef is cooking the meal he allows you to peak into the restaurant; and you can see that he has a few test plates that has cheap pork sausage on them instead of steak; wouldn't you be concerned?

The textures are muddy looking
So far I've facepalmed anytime someone mentioned 'looks like current gen' when talking about X1/PS4 games.
In this case - looks like current gen. I'm sure those screens are far from representative, in which case, they were better left unshared.

Dont worry, they said that making 60fps from 30fps is so easy
So easy that they had to drop the res? Hope not. Maybe they should do that with COD Ghosts and get 120 fps....
Seanspeed: Lighting looks nothing like anything on current gen. In fact, looks better than pretty much anything else on next gen. Everything else in those screens though...I hope it is the capture...Could be a waste of a good lighting engine if everything else is rough. Gameplay looked good though...

I was really hoping deep down that they weren't jerking us over with that debut trailer, but alas.
Motion blur is giving you that impression.

They really started this generation with a bang by releasing Resident Evil 5 but then under-delivered with Resident Evil 6 and now Deep Down =/
For comparison, here is Resident Evil 5 on Xbox 360

It was native 720p with 2xMSAA

Resident Evil 5 still is one of the best looking games out. Image quality is outstanding. Genuinely surprised at how clean that game looked on my PS3.

I am not saying it looks bad. The lighting is mighty impressive. Really adds a lot to the atmosphere. The problem is that the IQ on a whole isn't that good. I am hopeful that they can fix it before the official release.

The new shots in the OP look much better - textures look sharper, IQ looks better.
However, the shots posted by Ono look pretty bad by next-gen standards. It doesn't even look better than GOW3. The only saving grace is the lighting. Besides that, everything just looks substandard.
They are probably not indeed. That's true, as true as to say that the first screens from that thread don't show it. People always love to assume things when there is nothing showing it. For exemple, in the dragon shot in the OP, there is too much bloom, not enough details to actualyl see if this is a high poly tessellated model or a normal map mess with low res textures. It could be a PS3 game for all i know. It's an IQ and filter problems.
And by the way this kind of logic works with the reveal trailer to. Everyone was assuming this was cgi but again, the reveal dragon could be perfectly reasonable in term of geometry, as the backgrounds.
People decide what something is based on their imagination alone.

It's as if they're trolling us with these low res jpegs.
It's not an artistic choice, it's probability vs. current reality.

The lighting is incredible. This screams next gen to me.

The gameplay shown at the conference seemed to look sharper at least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJL5jTTonfU
Definitely looks pretty clean in the future, and textures look good. The dragon fight at the end is a little unclear, but the motion blur on the dragons movements is pretty damn impressive...

The boss fight with multiple people reminds me of this DS shot I took a long time ago.
The largest "next-gen" difference in these Deep Down shots to me is the volumetric lighting.

Deep downside?
This. Obviously it's not going to match the target render as that was running on a PC but the game still looks damn good.

We are probably going to see a whole lot more footage. One just tweeted this image.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Oh boy ! Excited!
I just know that this'll be one of those games that I'll either really love, or really hate. It's all gonna be about the gameplay...

Why do game companies keep doing this bait and switch crap? It in no way helps the game they are pushing and only pisses off gamers. You'd think everyone learned from the Killzone incident.

This game looks freakin incredible to me !!! and it's still in development... The dragons look sick !!!
Sadly, it's an online only game... i wish for a Zelda like adventure that looked like this.

Na we just don't like being lied to. Hey let's paste this little HUD on a CG target render and call it Gameplay.

Sold.
I hope that the game doesn't look like the soft and blurry mess that are the screens without visible tv, though.
WTF is armor select?!?
Do you select a character style in this game??? It looks like the one behind is the next character? And there appear to be four selectable nodes on the top, not sure if it is characters or next stage (say skills) though.
Still, seeing that screen makes me wonder.
UGH, my only gripe with the Souls games, my mind just doesn't work well that way.
