Well, I'm not sure if better or next-gen graphics will suit a game like XIII. Considering that it came from a comic book, and the developers want to retain the comic-book look, cell-shaded graphics is the way to go. Sure, it may look like the developers want to hide the basic look of the game but with cell-shaded graphics, it gives the game a comic book look and feel. Also, it does stay true to the source material of the game (because, it looks similar to the comic book itself). Quite a number of Japanese games use this method such as the Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker for example.
