I am surprised no one is commenting on how they fixed her face. So many people were complaining about her face from the initial trailer. Anyway, her new face and everything else in this demo are gorgeous.

Gotta say, things like knocking food apples out of a basket a guy is carrying & then a small child running up to steal some is an amazing touch. I can only imagine what are random things the NPCs will do ..

Love how a good chunk of the presentation is just unreal saying 'Don't worry, this one will actually be optimised'
