So keep checking your e-mail if you're signed up.

I think that's to prevent confusion between beta footage (with bugs or unfinished stuff) and release version footage on youtube and other sharing sites.

Guessing so people can't crop it out and give the impression that this isn't a beta.

Maybe, or it could just be a marketing move to create an artificial sense of exclusivity to get people in a froth about wanting to try it. (It seems to be working.)
Alright, since there's no NDA my impressions!
Done all the story missions and side missions in the beta so far and I have to say that the feel of the game is spot on. I was worried about level design with moving to an open world setting but everything is set up in a way to provide you with a number of options for the best line and to keep up the momentum. It really feels like the design of the first game just expanded out instead of padded to make an expansive open area.
The combat improvements are huge. There's a great sense of impact when Faith hits enemies and the skills seem to be focused on allowing you to keep moving when multiple enemies approach. I'm very surprised at how much I'm enjoying the melee combat.
The unlocks for movement skills aren't as much of an issue as I expected, the pace of unlocks is pretty good so you'll get the basic stuff early, but it's still a bizarre choice. I understand it for the combat and unlocks but not the movement. Thankfully by the time you're done with a lot of the tutorial stuff you should have a lot of what players are used to from the first game.
Technically it's solid but not spectacular. Seems to be 900/60 on PS4 with FXAA, looks very similar to BF4 in terms of image quality. Performance holds up well in gameplay but in both the real time and prerendered cutscenes it drops quite a bit. It's bizarre in the prerendered stuff, they stutter constantly. Motion blur is used in abundance but very low res. The art style seems well realized on Frostbite. There's even an FoV slider on console, which I always appreciate. Very glad to see more games adding this recently.
I have run into a number of bugs. Lots of times collectables won't be counted on the in game tracker but you'll get the XP. When you go by that area again you'll hear the sound they emit but won't be able to pick them up. This has happened to me on about a third of the collectables.
In any case, the core gameplay feels excellent and I think fans will be quite happy with it. They just have some work to do on polish before June which is expected since it's a beta.
