Sorry to keep you waiting guys, didn't think anyone would make a thread this fast. I'll share as much details as possible without spoiling anything.
First up, the UI has been greatly improved. Metro 2033 was pretty sluggish in the general menu and the HUD was quite generic looking. Last Light greatly improves this with a much faster menu system and a much better UI. The inventory system has a much easier access, simply pressing LB brings up the inventory screen (without pausing the game so watch out there) and you can select your gear/weapons by pressing the trigger/bumpers buttons or the A/B/Y/X keys.
I won't spoil the story to much so I'll just focus on the Xbox 360 build. The game runs pretty good actually. Load times are a lot faster compared to Metro 2033, and the framerate is solid all round. In the first hour or so I played thus far its been a solid 30 FPS as far as my eyes can tell. Even in battle or when on the surface in pretty big area there are no dips in frame rate.
Lighting is a lot better compared to the first game. There are some cool light effects when looking around and light bounces and reflects on most areas. The 360 build does have all the cool wiping off your mask when it gets wet and you get tiny spiders and flies on your mask/screen when you come in contact with any. Was afraid they left that out in the 360 build but it has all the cool effects you see on PC.
It doesn't look as crisp as the trailers witch are obviously PC build, and there are some jaggies here and there but nothing mayor. It's comparable to Metro 2033 in that area. So overall I can say the 360 build looks an plays really solid for the first hours I've played the game. I'm uploading some off screen photos in a sec (sorry guys don't have any capture stuff) to give you some proof.
Any questions you have I'll answer.
