Wow, that's the first genuinely impressive screenshot I've seen where I can honestly say if the game comes out looking like that I'll be totally happy with it. I've always been a fan of the way the art direction for the game was going, but up until now it really hadn't clicked and was just a hatful of potential. If it had stayed as it was looking up to this point (which was really never going to happen given how early we are in developments..but just humour me 
) the visuals would have been something I would have tolerated rather than luxuriated in, now it looks like they could end up being a real feature.
It's really amazing how much difference lighting makes to in game graphics. I've got a friend who's making a map for TF2 which I've viewed all the way through development and the point at which lighting gets added really gives the biggest leap in quality than any other stage... it really is as big a difference as someone turning on a light in a darkened room
