Of course no one will follow this convention at all so you can just ignore me.

Of course, while you can ignore rizzuh, rest assured that it would not be wise to do so.

» The eyes of players are dynamic, and accurately track objects in the real world, jumping to various objects of interest as well when nothing is happening.

» Eyes also feature true reflections.

» While a number of "Barney" security officers will be around, one main sidekick is planned.

» Full facial animation, based off of muscle-movement studies, gives natural expressions as well as automatic lip-synching.

» Fully realistic physics engine for fluid movement, falling, and collisions.

» All players will no longer walk "through" corpses, but rather step on and over them. [Possibly incorrect info I heard on this?]

» Advanced fully dynamic particle system.

» Vastly improved AI system with intelligent pathfinding, threat analysis, and multiple prioritized objectives.

» Some reports Sierra will be publishing the title, others that it will be published by Activision.

» Headcrabs will be back! Although some of the Xen aliens will be your friends?: The Gman has an alliance with the Xen aliens. The plot has something to do with defending the Xen against the new evil aliens that are trying to wipe out everyone.



My favorite quote from PCG: "Valve senior software development engineer Jay Stelly showed us how to outwit and auto-turret that had his avator pinned down in a hallway. First, he grabbed a metal grate lying on the ground next to him, protecting himself by using it to deflect the hail of incoming bullets. Then he inched closer to the turret, covering himself with the grate. Once close enough, he flung the grate at the turret knocking it over. The turret, now firing wildly into the ground, was neutralized.

Of course, there are numerous ways to get past this turret, and that's the beauty of Sources physics engine (a modified version of Havok, the physics engine at the heart of Deus Ex:IW): it encourages creative problem-solving.
