I guess we need to see <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> in motion. It's hard to compare just the screenshots of both games. I remember before the first video (with the new interface) was out and the people just looked at the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> screenshots they all complained about how (dated) bad they look. After they saw it in motion, their mind changed.
The advantages of 3D characters is also a thing, we have to look at. If you wear a hat in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/riftrunner.gif" alt="" /> for example , you'll see the hat graphics actual in the game, not a "replacement" helmet graphic which was the case in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />.
