As a longtime devotee of the Arc'teryx Gamma MX (I've been wearing them for 7 years) I'll give some insight to the new version. Fit is basically the same: athletic, long sleeves, fairly close torso. This new Gamma MX uses a new fabric that is a bit lighter, dries more quickly, and has a softer face. It maintains the old characteristics of being super durable (much more than you'd expect from a soft face fabric) lots of stretch, blocks about 90% of wind and very water resistant, while breathing much better than laminated soft shells. The Hooded version, which I prefer has a helmet compatible hood, with slightly less volume than the old one, which I consider an improvement. Have no fear, it's really an upgrade from the classic Arc'teryx Gamma MX of old!
