Visually the bar has most definitely been raised, quite considerably in fact. Do wish they'd improve upon the morality system though :/ The gameplay has been improved so much over the last two (especially when it comes to traversing the city, which could be a bit of a pain in the last two), but they made no change at all to the mortality system, which was pretty shallow in the first place.
It's not that big of a problem, but you expect a higher degree of effort put into the mechanic the series is built around :p
