The only hope for release is that they are showing an old build on purpose. So there is more pop and excitement when it finally releases.
I have not played it, but downloaded it to examine the graphics. The image histogram shows that every map is using a dense fog. So all colors are being pulled to the fog color. In a bright day scene there is not a color anywhere over 150 brightness generically. This has to be intentional because every picture on the Steam page looks amazing.
The weird green text on point flags looks like someones kid did the graphics for them. No longer are we seeing nice white/black contrasted UI sprites. But these bland horrible colored garbage. This has to be on purpose. There is no way this got out the door unless it was done on purpose to lessen the pop.
My guess is a good many things will be fixed upon release. If they are not, I would not even bother buying this game because Relic are so disconnected from reality they dont deserve a dime.
Sadly, that has been my fear all along with my few workings with them. They live in a "Relic is cool bubble" and cant see that we are throwing them a life raft to save them.
