Here are my thoughts on some of the pictures (picture number included with each comment):
2 - I can't imagine ANYONE, even a "casual gamer", wanting stupid-looking health bars like that. I've seen them in nearly every screenshot so far, so I REALLY hope they're not lying when they say it's optional.
4 - I like how the guys on the burning, sinking ship are just chilling out like nothing's happening.
5 - Is it just me, or does that guy have a lazy eye?
6 - I like the addition of shadows on the water.
7 - Cool smoke. I wonder what it looks like animated.
8 - "I want a deck gun with frickin' laser beams!"
9 - Looks like they kept the stupid "wavy" underwater view. If you put a camera underwater, it doesn't look like that. what are they trying to accomplish with this effect?
11 - I think the water droplets will get annoying, especially from the bridge view. Am I supposed to be wearing glasses or something? Even if it's supposed to be drops on a camera lens, I don't see droplets on the screen during movie scenes that take place in the rain, why do I see them here?
13 - Looks nice! Makes me want to run around shooting people a la "Medal of Honor."
16 - The word bubble makes it look like a screenshot from "The Sims - Das Boot edition." And why is the periscope up?
17 - Very glad to see the conning tower art!! Hopefully there will be a way to add kill flags (not sure if the Germans did that, though)
20 - I wish the water would get stirred up more where a ship is sinking
21 - Just chilling out... in the fire.
23 - "Remember Luke, the Force will always be with you..."
------------------
It seems like such a mix of really great-looking graphics, and really horrible-looking things that make you say "what the hell were they thinking?!?"
Hopefully a lot of the added, unrealistic "casual gamer" things can be removed.
