Looks tons better than the last. Way bigger maps, way better graphics, better augs, better gameplay. Finally an installment that appears worthy of the original. I was so engrossed watching it I was thinking more about what came next than HR.
I only hope alpha doesn't translate to a pre compression build that's only capable of running on ultra high end rigs, with the "optimized" release version being somewhat subdued graphically, like we've seen from Ubi.
For now I'll give them the benefit of the doubt though, because clearly they've listened to our feedback. I always maintained that Eidos is a good team that could have done better than HR, and now it appears they've proved it.
