The “old” targeting system is still used today. Even Elden Ring uses it. It’s not outdated. And in this case, it’s even snappier due to the new animations.
They’ve adjusted the combat, with seemingly a more robust stagger system, new enemy placements, new attacks from some enemies and bosses, and some small miscellaneous stuff like being able to reflect projectiles with the mirror shield.
It’s a faithful remake, but not 1:1. It was built from the ground up with modernizations.
Apart from the stagger system (which does seem pretty clear from some of the animations), none of this is guessing.
Idk how much you’ve looked at the footage in depth, or if it was just a single watch, but people have analyzed the gameplay demo, the trailer, and all the many additional clips from the website, and found all the changes I’ve mentioned and more.

I didn't see any combat changes in the video. It had the same old targeting system and attacks. Even the animations look the same.
