Does anyone else feel like the graphics of CS2 has gotten worse with every preview?

The first teaser video showed incredible realism, like how some PC cities look after heavy graphics and asset modding.

But the latest videos have looked like CS1 quality.

If you're talking about the announcement trailer, it's not gameplay footage.

It’s been 5 months since the announcement already?! 💀

I agree, but I think it's the same as the first game or any game where shot selection matters a lot. We tend to like sweeping panoramic views, especially in video games where we can't see the details of the models. Focused on particular models, especially people and their animations will always show how ugly a game is unless a huge amount of budget went there. I think this game does look better, but the first one looked pretty good too.
