Think this might be old. There was a teaser before that did not show to much. Also, your link did not work for me. Try this:

| Deleted User | Actually, this is old news and is why you will probably get no response. You can use the search function to see what has been discussed about this subject before. This teaser is really not worth the effort, IMO. I am however looking forward to this game.

Status : Offline | Well I guess you could call me a Point' n'Click nut but I sure wish they could go back to the old style of story telling game like the first two. I thought they were many times better for that kind of story. I didn't get to see much of BS3 because after trying it on all three of my computers I only got it to run for about an hour on one of them and that was it. But I did see enough that I didn't think it was a game that I could enjoy playing. I like the stories but I will be satisfied just reading the walkthroughs and reviews.

Where did you hear that? If I were certain it was I would definatly buy it. I loved BS1 and 2 and I thought using that using an action type interface was the ruination of the whole game idea. I have always felt and alway will that action or direct control interfaces are not for adventure games unless they are more action than adventure.

I will check it out. 3D is not a problem with me at all. I have a good video card. I just don't like direct control for anything except action games.

...never mind, I found some more here. I can't say I'm all that impressed with the quality of the graphics, but then the BS games were never intended to be photo-realistic anyway - I guess it fits in with the 'cartoony' style of the earlier games. Those shots could do with some serious anti-aliasing, though.
The character models are a mixed bag. I can't help thinking that Annamaria looks a lot better than George, for example.
Still no sign of Nico... :-/

I don't think screenshots tell the whole story.

Status : Online | I'm sorry? Surely the whole point of screenshots is to allow you to judge the graphics? If they look awful in screenshots, they're going to look awful in the game. I'm giving this one the benefit of the doubt for the moment, but only because these are the first screenshots we've seen and I'm willing to believe it's a very early build of the game.

Agree. Adventur-y with dated graphics.

Well..let me see....I think screenshots are better to judge graphics than radio or tape recordings.
Is there another midia to judge graphics?

Only a demo, I suppose, but that's not likely to happen for quite a while yet. So for the moment, all we have to go on are screenshots.

Fortunelly, my observation is refered ONLY on graphics.
...and beyond, I think a really good product (in case, adventures), need to be good in every aspect...and this INCLUDE graphics. As a demanding consummer, and the consummers are becoming more and more demandings in our consumm society, I like to see better products, improvements, increases.
IMO, adventures aren't just stories...they are a package of various atributs.

I disagree. BS2 pretty much sucked - with a few exceptions - in my opinion and BS3 had crates...

Unfortunately, you ain't getting no cutting-edge graphics in a point and click adventure game. I like the vivid colours and 'cartoony' style of the BS series and was impressed with how Revolution brought the style into 3D in BS3 (the crates and control system were the problem with that particular incarnation) and if the story is anywhere near BS1 and there's no damn crates then I'll be happy. Plus you can force anti-aliasing onto a game that doesn't have it with your graphics card control panel so no complaints from me.
And if anyone from revolution is reading this, please remake BS1 so it doesn't look bloody awful on a 19" LCD at 1280 x 1024
