I'm a fan of the new look for his suit but for certain reasons.
I feel that the original design of the Kamen Rider suits were meant to reflect that they were a part of the wearer's body. After all, Shocker re-engineered normal people to be brainwashed, powerful super humans. I always felt that the original suits were designed to not just augment the human body but to adapt to the weakness of the individual's body.
Hongo was the very first Kamen Rider, we all know that. I'm pointing this out because he is literally the very first veteran because of this. When he first started out fighting as a Kamen Rider, he was as young and energetic as the recent Riders we have today. However now he is old.
When he was young, I feel the suit reflected that. He was faster, stronger, reckless. Hongo also healed faster as younger human beings do. The Kamen Rider suit reflected that. It protected the most vital areas that no amount of healing could fix. It still protected the rest of the body as well but with far less intensity. The arms and legs could heal with time. The suit made him faster, stronger, increased his reflexes, and made his body more durable while ensuring that he was as protected as he needed to be.
Hongo is now the oldest of the bunch. He's not the lively young man anymore. Like most elders, he's fragile now. His bones are far more susceptible to breakage, his heart is weaker (as shown in the trailer itself since it shows that he may have cardiac issues), his strength is gone as is the speed youth gives. The Kamen Rider suit looks to have adapted to that.
The suit now protects far more of his body because Hongo can't take nearly as many blows as he could years ago. It maintains the strength he had when he first started fighting against Shocker so long ago. Hongo isn't as fast as he used to be, with or without the Kamen Rider suit. When transformed, he definitely is faster but the additional armored points reduce his movement. Not only that but because he's more fragile, his attacks have to be more focused, powerful and have far less room for error. He can't take that risk anymore. One mess up can be detrimental to him. The suit reflects that. He's strong, fast but slow, more armored up. His attacks are focused. His Rider form is of a seasoned veteran who isn't who he used to be. It's the form of a respected elder thrown back into a young man's fight.
