Toby saying faster needs work ; otherwise - great! I like that theyve muted the colour pallette and gone easier on the bloom and such from NNT which was a garish hot mess at times.
HOW I THINK THIS FITS INTO THE GAME STORY:
I strongly expect this is part of the intro cutscene. Alf and Toby are making their *own* escape run on the train - note that they both wear outfits that suggest their normal job involves running the train. I imagine they are making their own escape from wherever, hijacking the train.
Next, I imagine they end up at Necrum Mines (shown) by 'accident' (perhaps they didnt know where they were going with the train), and its there that they meet & interact with Abe.
This cutscene clearly involves them making their own escape. Abe is nowhere to be seen.
I imagine that this is used to kick off the game with a bang / exciting scene.
They use each others names a lot - Toby, Alf. I feel that is because this is the cut scene where the two characters are introduced, so we can learn their names.
All looks much better than NNT and hey, its new.
