We may be expecting a little too much from them I feel - using the animation topic as an example. Skate's animations are incredible, and have formed the benchmark for us. Those animations were painstakingly translated into the game with the help of a multiplicity of developers. They were backed by EA.

This team is but three people. Sure, this trailer is early and their hearts are definitely in the right place. But, I think its a bit unrealistic to be expecting AAA-quality animations and graphics from a three person studio at this stage.
