Have you been following different game? The models look great and the animations smooth. Washed out texturing? Colors yes, textures no. Every environment is also handcrafted. This will make for a much more detailed game. Sorry, but id are very much in the game with technology and they know their craft. People who have played the game have constantly talked up the balance between visual fidelity and smooth, consistent gameplay.
I am not sure how you can compliment the game's graphics in view of the shot above. Handcrafted environments are not anything special these days; they were back in 2006 when Id first showed off its "megatexture" trick. Animation is quite good ? I will give you that.
There's lots of screenshots floating around, many of which look leaps and bounds better than the one you posted, and a lot of gameplay footage which looks phenomenal.
With the updated megatexture tech behind Rage, the level of detail that artists can handcraft into a level is unprecedented, and it even frees up more resources for a system to use. Add to that all the mondern graphical features you'd expect from a top of the line engine. It really is genius tech. Don't get me wrong, Crysis and Metro 2033 were and still are wicked looking games, but id's new tech will stand toe-to-toe and bring in some innovations of their own. id have even gone so far as to say that Doom 4 will blow Rage out of the water.
Given what they're aiming for and that the game will be multiplat, I think it's quite an achievement.
