I'm gonna go ahead and add onto what sl1982 has said. This thread has gone off-topic enough, and this argument needs to end. I'm going to request that nobody continue it here, DLPB, Mako, or anyone else, in any form at all. That means no third parties taking sides, no flaming either direct or indirect, no "explaining" why you were right and the other person was wrong... If you have an issue with the way staff has handled this, take it up with us PRIVATELY. But there will be no more cluttering up this thread with arguing, no more flaming.
As for the original issue of how much the game was upgraded?, if any? I don't want to see any more speculation about this. We will hopefully learn more at Gamescom, but until then let's not claim to know one way or the other unless we can provide DIRECT proof (screenshots or video). eg we can safely assume the game will run at a higher resolution and have upscaled FMVs based on the trailer shown. We don't know if they've touched the framerate, the backgrounds, the models, or anything else. Guessing won't change that. Speculation will lead to arguments, and probably warnings, so don't do it.
edit: To clarify, it's fine to discuss what we've seen, and what we HOPE to see. My issue here is with speaking with unfounded certainty. "I hope it has X feature" is fine, "I know for a fact it will/won't because intuition" is not.
