So, grabbed a Blu-Ray disc of John Wick and decided to record it with my capture device, editing out only the Project Legion clips. Afterward, I sat there and poured over them (obsessively) looking for ANY signs of "new" since CCP absolutely refuses to talk about it because #reasons (let's be real, Project Legion is just vaporware at this point).
But, on the off chance that Project Legion actually becomes a thing, here's some stuff to consider:
The six seconds of Legion clips: http://youtu.be/BMPN1L4IWdw
Not shown in the video is the player, who is using a black Xbox 360/Xbox One controller. This isn't to say that Legion will be on either console, being as PC can use... Well, any controller. Annnnd now the screenshots.
1) http://i.imgur.com/jrvViLo.jpg
Here we can see a good demonstration of the new lighting/shadows with the enhanced graphics engine. Light from the weapon being fired can be seen bouncing off of the nearby surfaces, including on the plant-life. On the far left, you can see another Caldari Assault coming up from the shadows in what looks to be a very dramatic shot given the darkness and the way the light reflects off of his suit. Textures on the ground and nearby rock look much less 'smeary' and more high-resolution. Battle takes place on a revamp version of the Spine Crescent map, which was shown in the Project Legion reveal trailer.
2) http://i.imgur.com/th7nja3.jpg
Here we can see much softer shadows/lighting in the background. Star Trek-esque lens flares are retained but here we can see much better effects in regards to the way the bullets hit the ground behind the Caldari Assault. Noting the magazine count in the lower right, the Assault Rifle has a 60 round mag, which logically concludes that this footage was captured -BEFORE- the Assault Rifle was buffed (I.E: Almost a year ago) or that Project Legion is being balanced separately of Dust 514.

A strong example of motion blur being implemented, something that is usually considered difficult for graphics cards prior to next-gen consoles.
4) http://i.imgur.com/TmJsFhH.jpg
Here we can notice that icons (in particular the icon about the CRU) are much smaller by comparison of Dust 514's. Lighting is much more fluid here as the railing on the left actually has different shades based on where the light is coming from, including the Assault Rifle fire.
5) http://i.imgur.com/7BG5Px3.jpg
Here we can see in the back left that there is a project heading toward the ground. It's reminiscent of either a Mass Driver or a Plasma Cannon, but as we can see in the next screenshot....
6) http://i.imgur.com/w2XswZG.jpg
...the blast effect is much, much larger. Just as well we begin to see that the lighting effects change based on the environment, as is evident on the truck just to the left of the explosion. This is more evident in the next screenshot, as is the sheer size of the blast...

... which completely blots out the background. The previous screenshots took place in one of the newer Caldari Production Facility sockets. The map itself, however, is unknown, as the larger rock structures are completely unfamiliar to any locations that socket is ever featured.

Which really just makes me go "WTF CCP" also what is this movie iv never heard of it. Is it worth watching
Dude... They had a whole explanation for this by a CCP Developer a few months ago saying that they allowed them to use dev-QA footage of Project Legion for the movie because one of CCP's Devs are personal friends with one of the guys at Lionsgate. They didn't steal anything, lol.
And yeah, you're going through what all of us went through when the movie hit theaters.

Fing great we now have to watch random movies on the hope we get to see new gameplay! My bad aeon great work! At least this means at some point legion had some solid work going on lol =ƒÿå Buy 4 reals is the movie worth seeing lol The movie is a classic shoot em up. The actions sequences are pretty bad ass, the storyline is what you would expect form a shoot em up. Its a great popcorn flick. I recommend it.
It's even better if you play Payday 2 which actually has John Wick as a permanently playable character. So, if you think about it, Project Legion made a cameo appearance in Payday 2 in a six degrees of separation kinda way.

Based on rock formations outside the structures, concluded that the screenshots in the other location were on the MCC Construction Outpost map. http://youtu.be/8JsQvOVnAUw

Thank you that observation, Captain Broken Record, we've established this already.
