Honestly? I think it looks fine. It looks as if the knee and leg actually has space to bend now. Historically no one actually travelled in full plate armor. It was too heavy and cumbersome. If they had to go a distance they had horses or something else carry them. Our characters? They're travelling the Swordcoast on foot. Their armor needs to allow them the flexibility to travel long distances comfortable. That first EA screenshot looks like a nightmare to walk long distances in. The current version looks a lot better simply because it appears as if the joints can actually flex and bend properly now.
