A lot of journalists keep saying that last year's demo didn't feel like an actual product, but this does. I don't understand that. They never specify what they mean.
Do they mean the visuals? If so, I think the game actually looks better now than it did last year -- the weird washed-out colors, occasional blurry textures, and rubber-y surfaces appear to be gone. Either way, it takes place in a completely different part of the city with far few people milling about and far few massive neon skyscrapers to gaze up at.
If they mean the gameplay, we actually didn't see much of that in last year's demo, either, so again, no idea what they're referring to. Compared to what we saw last year, what we're hearing about now seems like a straight upgrade in almost every sense; even for some of the hardcore RPG fans here (compared to last year's "no visible RPG impact on anything whatsoever," we now have much more of that).
