I probably already posted on this particular thread a while ago, but I want to add my two cents that I like the art style they're going for with this game. Cel-shading can look and perform fantastically... if done right.
So far, it looks like crap (at least some of the screens). In some screens you can barely see the character. But in others it looks quite impressive. I'm going to be hoping that it's simply because it's early in the testing and most MMOs don't focus on "final" visuals until late in development (a great example of this is WAR... I have to say that 4-6 months ago the game looked like crap. Now it looks pretty good if you ask me.
Cel-shading can work. I'd say at this point just give it some time to breath before you judge the game by it's graphics. At this moment what I'm focusing on is the general direction and ideas the developers are wanting to take this game (as right now, we really can't see much of what they have to offer). I can hope Cryptic can pull it off because they pulled CoX off pretty damn good, and considering this is basically just a CoX2 with a new look (reminds me of the drastic changes from TF to TF2 in it's early days and what it used to look like) it should be even better.
