Notable Beta Elements at E3 Video

 * During gameplay, Dillon will usually stand still when not controlled. In the trailer, he is seen shifting back and forth.
 * Scruffles and towers are less detailed.
 * When Dillon starts a combo, 2-hits is usually displayed in blue and changes color the longer the combo is extended. In the trailer, 2-hits is displayed in yellow and red and remains the same color regardless of combo length.
 * Only one color of rock is seen in the mines, which is the gray variant. In the actual game, a blue and gold variant are also encountered, as the colors hint at the rock's contents.
 * Names are drastically different in the trailer: i.e. Scruffles are called Manju Grass.
 * When a raid is started in the trailer, Grocks are instead referred to as "monsters" by Russ.Jiro.jpg
 * The Grock count is in the top-right corner of the screen instead of the bottom.
 * Gatling Guns easily defeat Grocks within a few hits.
 * Grocks on the plains are surrounded by a green ring and noted by a star. The reason for this is unknown, though the green ring will change colors from green to yellow and finally red when the grock is attacked by a tower before the grock is destroyed. Because of this, it is likely that the ring denotes the grock's health.
 * Grocks are also seen with health meters in battle.
 * Dillon's heart meter appears different.Life_Bar.jpg
 * When Dillon charges up a roll attack, the shock wave is not seen when it strikes.
 * Instead of letting off a bright blue beam, unvisited mines give off a wide green-colored beam.
 * When battling a Veggrock in-game, the patch of grass that Dillon encountered the grock in is visible in battle. This patch of grass is absent during battle in the trailer.
 * Though longer, the Arma-Mode meter is depleted more quickly.
 * Dillon is seen using Arma-Mode without the Ancient buckle.
 * A different symbol is seen on the doors of the Ancient Ruins.
 * If one pays attention, the graphics are more "lighter and cel-shaded" than the final release.
