Oh yeah, i just watched them, it's definitely prettier. Lighting effects everywhere, bumpmapping, and tons of subtle details. The particles are insane (like the smoke i twas talking about). it's also running at 60 fps! very very happy right now!
from what i can tell, the pirates have attacked a space federation base. there are bodies of federation soldiers and wreckage everywhere, the federation security bots are on patrol but unfortunately are picking up samus as an enemy, the new use of the grappe beam looks flawless; you can grab shields off of pirates, break apart wreckage, rip panels off of access ports, you name it. towards the end of the demo, you find yourself in a very familiar looking area (phendrana pirate base on the tower access bridge) and these flyying pirates are taking potshots at you, once you dispatch them a pirate gunship starts flying around you and blasting while opening its doors to let out some more pirates. during the battle, a weird looking pirate shows up, all glowy and bizarre. it actually causes one of the pirate gunships to crash, and then disappears. Dunno what his problem is, probably the mini boss of that area!
shooting looks really easy, you can either free hand or lock on, aiming where ever you want while walking (instead of having to stand still), this is going to rock, I cant wait 5 months dammit!
