It's THAT good.
If an old schooler like you can be converted by this game, that's a mighty accomplishment by Cave.
Anticipation points +5 to play this now. (But still looking forward to Homura more )

Something's screwy about Watch Impress's creen-capture methods. Either the game is low resolution and it's giving them trouble because of that, or they hired some Photoshop-n00b intern to convert and post those images.
Eek, I hope the final game doesn't end up looking like that...not even Cave's earliest stuff is that pixelly. Hope some better-looking shots appear closer to the release date...
As jiji said, I think it's just poor screen capturing/poor photography. In the photo you can see the curved corners of the TATE'ed screen. It basically means they had someone stand in front of their tilted dev screen, take a somewhat unprofessional picture and then high-res'ed it up which makes it looks crappy and pixelated. Just my guess anyways. I don't see a huge difference between Mushi's visuals and Galuda's (in pictures and video anyways I have yet to play either ).
As a once video-game mag insider, I can confirm that the screenshots for previews are, 99% of times, provided by the game company itself. And yep, they upscale them in order to make them bigger for the media.
I'd go a bit further. This screenshots aren't, I'm pretty sure, from the PS2 version. If they were, some of them would be in 'yoko' mode.

what photo? if youre talking about the one in recaps post, looks like he just photoshopped/filtered it. hell it actually looks better than the shots they provided cause it cancelled out the crappy scaling they did to it.

A note to look at the 9 pictures on the middle/lower part of Play Asia's Mushihime ordering page, as for whatever reason, they seem to look at least somewhat better there. A few examples from play asia's site, same pics but looking smoother:
Anyone know if the "normal" version will have a different looking cover then the limited?. If so I might buy two copies of this game, just to show my support and because caves games usually have pretty coverart

It was. Famitsu online is a bit retarded. They're reporting now the forthcoming release of Taito Memories Joukan.
