yeah, in a news article they were talkin about how they prog'd enemy ai to notice a pickup nearby with a weapon more powerful than the player's. so, as it ran towards the player, it was caught off guard noticing the pickup and immediately ran to the pickup and beat the player's ass.
then they have this segment editor thing, which is gonna rule all. the software comes with 1000's of "segment" models, (walls, doors, etc). they said you can combine premade ones to make your own segments. so, you could take a wall segment, put a door on it, and cover the walls with moss, and save it as a new segment ready to go for new projects.
then, you just go into the map/level editor, load the segments and place them. all the collisions done for you.
also, theres gonna be ragdoll physics!
which means if you shoot em in the head they die, if you shoot em in the stomach they grab their stomach, or if you throw a grenade at them or shoot a shotgun, they'll go flying backwards on impact.
if you thought this was gonna be another 3dgm, i think you may be wrong... i cant wait!
