1) We aren't talking about Red Steel, who gives a **** about Red Steel? Different devlopers, probably different people handling everything, 100% off topic and irrelevant to anything being discussed anywhere on the face of the earth. No one cares about Red Steel.
2) No, they aren't touched up, what in the heck is the matter with you? If you've seen the videos, and you say you have (and not XBOX gameplay either, the Xbox360 videos, because that's where these shots are from), then you know this isn't touched up, period. There is no argument here, at all. It's made all the worst by your claims that Metal Gear, and worst of all Killzone aren't touch up fests.
More than likely, you're joking and not taking this seriously and just trying to get under my skin, because I highly doubt anyone who's not a ****ing moron could honestly see the videos that look EXACTLY like those shots (mostly because they're from the same damn videos) and still think there is some sort of "touch up" going on here, at best, the only the visual difference is the high resolution of your monitor compared to your TV, which, btw, is the reason why Ubi-Soft and practically every other company out there sends out over sized pictures to shrink down, to provide a more accurate representation of the game.
Either way, this whole argument is stupid. If you honestly believe those are touched up, then hey, however you wanna build your fantasy world is fine with me.
