More gameplay footage brought to you by G4TV and Xplay! This build appears to be more recent than the showing in London. It looks like the some of the effects visuals have been spruced up even more. There is now a visual indicator for when your shots hit an enemy. Lots of screen time for some new environments in there as well.
I know most games don’t usually improve much graphically from beta to release, but this game is breaking all the rules. I can’t believe how good Shadowrun looks right now, and it can only get better before launch.

A few things of note that I saw in the video:
Teleport looks a little flashier.
Whenever you shoot someone, a wispy white ellipse radiates from their body.
The “ghost” effect present when you die for good and your soul/essence floats towards the sky has been improved.
When you activate smoke, your body is more clearly defined. This will hopefully make it harder for smoked Lineage players to hide nearly invisible under a Tree.
Gust seems much more effective. That Dwarf knocked that guy back like 25 feet!
It looks like grenades have a more defined smoke trail to indicate their flight path easier.
Overall, the game is looking amazing compared to the beta build. I don’t have any doubt that this game will have next-gen caliber graphics.
Holy cow. As you said, Gnome, The graphics are looking even better.
I wish PR would start releasing downloadable hi-def stuff. Good grief. The game could possibly be out in less than a month.
Visual indicator when your bullets hit it’s target? Hey, that sounds very similar to a feature request I posted asking about an audible indicator. Can’t see the video at the moment, but this sounds like a great solution to the problem I was having. Too many times I was trying to rely on splatter to see if my shots were landing. GG devs.
