As ever, I think expectations played a big part in that. Personally, I think most videos look rather crappy - they are low resolution, quite small, have poor picture quality (I watch DVDs on the computer while working; everything looks worse :D), etc. Basically, the game often looks quite a bit better and I normally discount the obvious flaws due to compensating for the video format.
However, I think that IW more or less showed exactly what the game would be like, sans framerate. Things did already look a bit worrisome (why was so much preview media at such resolution, those textures seem a little low in quality...), but I made the same assumption I detailed above. Surely, I though, the full retail game would be X many times better looking than the video.
Alas, the video really was a case of "What you see is what you get" and the final product actually ended up looking worse. An already poor-looking material just (more or less) got enlarged to fit my computer monitor.
Wanting to play UT2K4, SP:PT, and FC now! :o,
Ray
