Talking about landscape and weather at all... does this game have a day and night cycle with changing weather? I don't know, just inform me. Of course, there are games that look amazing - they have totally photorealistic landscapes and clouds, like Battlefield 3 and other titles. But, trust me - I work 4 years in games development. The maps in this games look so great because they're static and not changing - no weather changes, no sun cycle. In this case it is much easier to make the environment looking perfect. But in case of day cycles and changing weather, it is incredibly difficult to make the environment look good at all conditions. You notice that the environment looks great at noon - but then you move the sun to sunset and change the weather - and everything looks strange, trees are too bright/dark, water does some funny stuff... it is a nightmare for a developer
