In general, Cyan doesn't release a lot of screenshots for their games. It's a thing with them - they would rather you see them in the game. They have been like this for "forever", bu they have loosened up a bit, over the years, and release some screenshots, though never a lot.

I'm just guessing here, but my suspicion is that that the "people" are going to look great in the game - they will look "alive", and they will look like they belong in the game. Outside of the the game, in screenshots, they will still look good, but it's going to be obvious that they are animations. Maybe both Cyan and Ubisoft (the publisher) just don't want to have to put up with grief.

I have a theory on some of the issues with regards to games, FMV, 3D and all that. I think that adventure gamers vary in how much they want games to be, for want of a better word "interactive". Maybe the better word is "how important it is to them". I think I'll write more on this later!

Oh, almost forgot - really good article - adventuregamers!
