The official screenshots don't look bad as well but they are only environment shots. Planet-Adelpha still has some old (exclusive?) artwork from Totems.

Other games has developed the idea (last one being Crackdown), but there is still much potential on the idea and I think is a logical step from GTA with the technology available right now. Probably one of the most important thing for these type of games is giving a good feeling of inertia, making that when you are fulling from a skycraper, that feeling translates well at the screen. Other is making it more and more interactive and developing the IA behavior of traffic and people in general (well, at least that is what a armchair designer as me thinks, don´t know how hard is this but I can imagine is not easy to achieve).
