I worked at IO Interactive, making Hitman. There was all the stuff you mention in regards to technical crap and details, but even with that, they never had TVS if you ask me. One thing IO is really excellent at is taking the extra time to tweak those postfilters and the lighting etc. Even if I don't like the gameplay, there is no denying that they have a very definite artistic vision and style. I think the major reason why that is, is that the company grew from a group of experienced game developers, not from the brains of some inexperienced game dev / money man combo.
