1. The lighting. Looks like they have finally done a great job with it. The weather looks fantastic, and the nights dark enough. Any one else glad about this?
2. The environmental detail. People complain about the graphics, I think its beautiful, and the detail gone into the design could possibly make for some interesting environmental interaction..
3. The physics. The revamped physics , I imagine could really add to the game play. Maybe we could throw a box of sugar bombs into the air to distract enemies?
4. Smoothness. Everything seems quite proffessionally done, honestly. The game is getting so much hate but I'm really pumped to see what Beth might be trying. Change is always going to happen, and maybe they are at least going into the right direction?
Overall, I'm excited. The gameplay features, considering how much effort seems to be going into this, might be extremely fleshed out. I personally hope however that the difficulty settings rather influence realism of things like combat and skill checks, rather than NPC health (Although encounter zone effects are fine) and maybe even a better fleshed out hardcoe mode.
Thoughts? Let's openly discuss a bit of what I mentioned.. Objectively, if possible please.
