And its a standalone game, not an expansion.
Based on the price its possible they have just as much content as the original, if we're lucky.
Also, if we are super lucky it won't take five years to complete.

Initial Observations:

Performance is not so great. On medium settings I'm seeing 33fps and in the previous game I got between 60 and 100 depending on what I was doing.

Snow looks gorgeous.

Theres a greater variety of rooms and halls, and some of them are huge.
More junk with which to decorate.

Your character now has a name and a voice, and theres other humans with you.

There seems to be a proper story right from the beginning, as opposed to the previous game where you crash for no apparent reason and have to survive with nothing and theres not much to guide you.
