Incredible, I never really looked up the new game scene polycounts, & this game is from 2007 so it's not really that new, but this is amazing.
..so that's why some of the newer games have sort of low-quality textures here & there. Dark Messiah of Might & Magic has a very nice design but very poor texture quality.
Well, no, dont get me wrong, not every engine is capable of this.
Dark messiah is based on valve's Source engine, which is also slowly growing more out-dated (there are some games that extend the engine, like L4D and Team Fortress, but those are completely different cases :P).
But mainly, engines (the top ones out there, Unreal, Crytek etc etc) don't really have a "limit" on their Triangle rendering.
