One thing that bothers me about it - and bothered me in Legacy - was that the Grid seems too...well, too physical. The attraction of the original was that you felt nothing was actually there, that it was all virtual and mutable - as of course was the idea. Now you'd expect an updated version to be a higher-rez world, with, e.g., more curves, to reflect the much more powerful and sophisticated hardware on which the Grid is now running, but it was and is all a little too hard-edged for my liking. There's a sense of physicality which shouldn't be there - because in a sense, from our viewpoint nothing really is there, it's just pixels and data. It looked terrific in Legacy, true, but I somehow feel that they've missed the point, even though the original creators worked on it.

Or is that just me? After all, I still miss the 8-bit days. IT all seemed more fun back then.
