Look at the original Star Marine footage and you can see that the movement is extremely janky, the weapons bounced around all over the place and it wasn't well optimised. Compare that to the latest footage we have and the difference is night and day. CIG had outsourced development to Illfonic and that resulted in a lot of problems, including the Gold Horizon level being built to the wrong scale. Now it's been developed in-house and the results show.
Maybe because people have previously watched presentations like the Star Marine reveal in 2014 and absolutely none of what was shown in that demo is in the game today even though Roberts said it would be out in early 2015? (yeah, I know, it's all Illfonic's fault, of course)

And you are crazy to claim that what was shown at CitCon last year is in the game now (hint: A huge chunk of CitCon last year was the S42 reveal and S42 won't be out this year and most likely not even anywhere early 2017 either... if 2017 at all). It isn't. Or at least not nearly at the quality (FIDELITEEEEHHHH!!!!11) and stability they have shown in all of their fabricated, fake, scripted demos.
Virtually everything they have shown off at shows and conventions these past four years is either a total no-show like Star Marine or has never arrived in the game at the quality (FIDELITEEEEHHHH!!!!11) they have presented and advertised. Not even close.
