Two playthroughs of the same section -- one in a hack & slash mode and one in a "thinking man" mode -- show off the new combat system, running on the PC version. It still looks mostly like Origins, and the camera is pulled back far enough to still provide you with the oversight you need.
It seems to cater to different types of players while trying not to alienate part of the core fans of Origins. I always felt bad for whoever designed the unseen ceilings in Origins, and I think I can live with this kind of system. Can you?
