Are "RFYL" and "Streets of Hope" playthroughs from the same build?

[KleanZlate]

I was just wondering if anyone knew if both these playthroughs are from the same pre-beta build or is the "Streets of Hope" playthrough from a more recent, better build (more things fixed)?

At what stage is the creation of Hitman: Absolution?

Both the Run For Your Life and Orphanage checkpoints that we have presented so far were taken from the game when it was at a pre-alpha state. The game code that we are taking to E3 will be pre-beta.

pre-beta build = alpha code

Alpha code, Beta.

Seems the finished product will be much better hopefully .

Run for your life was pre-alpha, but The Streets of Hope level is probably pre-beta or beta. So the Streets of Hope level is a more up-to-date level than what was shown for the run for your life demo, and in theory the Streets of Hope would be a better build of what to expect in the final product.

I would like to ask if there will be Weapon drawn animation as it was in recent Hitman games. I love that from the begining so I hope 47 will not be wizard...

FAQ:

In the RFYL playthrough, why do items magically appear in 47's hands?

This was because the code was a very early build and the animations were not final. This has now been fixed and 47 is no longer a magician.

This is why I was wondering if it was the same build. That answer was posted before E3 and yet these things haven't been fixed in the pre-alpha.

Yeah, I know. But I'm not worried about that, I think these animations should be one of the easiest things to do, so devs could working on some other, more important things and they left that to do later, or they just haven't implement that in the version what was used to make a gameplay video. Animations were in the previous games, so I'm calm about that. But it would be nice to see them in any next gameplay.
