Not sure about this. I think I'm having a hard time getting the hang of things in this game is probably because I've played pretty much just COD4 for the past year, but there's something that doesn't mesh here. I don't think it's a flaw in the design, but I think maybe this type of gameplay isn't my thing these days. Or, at least not the large-scale, chaotic MP. The cooperative was pretty awesome, although that will probably improve tenfold when playing with a good group of people. People aren't very good medics, and that's being kind.
As for the visuals, it's a hell of a lot more detailed and technically more proficient than R1, but it somehow doesn't feel smooth enough. Couple that with this weird blurriness, and it feels a bit unpolished. It really makes a good case for the benefits of cutting some detail and aiming for 60fps. It honestly feels a bit cluttered right now, which is strange coming from Insomniac. I guess there's an admitted difference between SP and MP, which is fine given how much goes on at any given moment, but I'm not liking the glow.
The water is basically like the glass from the first game; so random to have a good looking element there that it ends up looking much better by comparison.
It seems to fit better in the SP footage. I noticed improvements pretty much everywhere; texture quality, lighting, foliage and of course the water. But it all seems to have come at a pretty high price what with all that blurry glow, and I'm not convinced that I like the current solution.
