The second video in that link was a major improvement over the last gameplay video I saw which presented the game as ultra linear with superfolous stealth elements.

This was the video that raised major concerns for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrE36PeQgKE&feature=related

The video you linked looked far more like a Hitman game giving you a sandbox level and a dozen different ways to kill your target (which is was the best part of the other Hitman games). If the final product gives us a good variety of different levels like the one presented in the Chinatown video then the game will be a worthy entry to the series.

I still, however, have my reservations about the instinct system, but I guess I can't judge it until I have played with it. Also, they replaced the original voice actor for agent 47 (who was also the guy 47 was modeled after) for absolutely no reason as David Bateson seemed to express great interest in reprising his role. That is not a deal breaker, but it would have been nice and kind of nostalgic to hear him do the voice work again.

Everybody who complains about MGR should shut the fuck up this game will be awesome, even tough the trailers suck. And Platinum have made Bayonetta as well. A very underrated development studio.

Did I not say I am anticipating it?

I think the trailers looks kick ass. I haven't played Bayonetta (but it's on my near to do list), but Vanquish was one of my favorite games ever. I hope Anarchy Reigns is also good, but I'm not a big fan of the fighting genre.
