Had chance to play around with the final PS3 version.
With regards to the 3D it looks like they lied, its the same as it was previously. No wonder it is easy on the eyes, there is no real 3d going on. There are 3 layers, the hud, the weapon, and everything else. Its actually a decent effect to be honest, its just not really 3D at all. Its quite embarrassing really if you take into account their boasting about it.
As for the game overall, its much better than the demo in terms of framerate. Still not great but definately an improvement. Overall it looks great, not a fan of the overdone bloom or lenseflare but ironically i think thats pretty much what makes it standout and look so nice. IQ is still a big issue, any movement and there are crawling jaggies everywhere. I find it quite hard to make out whats going on especially anything thats at mid-long distance. I feel like the graphical style would fit much better with different gameplay, it works really well in the smaller areas and indoor environments. In the open areas it breaks down somewhat for me to the point that i find im not having much fun, its incredibly hard to see enemies at a distance and even once i do i find it hard to keep track of them due to the muzzle flash and the wierd ADS view. The other thing that stood out to me was what felt to me like significant input lag, not sure would need a proper analysis, but something isnt quite right.
Its a beautiful game and it certainly succeeds in this regard despite a few niggleing issues. Gameplay wise i didnt find myself having much fun, pecifically in the open areas. I do feel though that the graphics and gameplay dont gel too well, will try on PC i suspect at a much higher resolution i will fing certain things much less frustrating.
Dont take my negativety to heart. Im not a fan of the gameplay so overall its been a somewhat frustrating experience for me so far, but if the gameplay is to your tastes you will be in for a real treat!
