EDIT: Someone was faster than me...
Oh, i just read in a german preview that some former guys of the Splinter Cell (guess from prior conviction era as this games already some years in dev, although Conviction was a quite prolonged dev mess and these guys might have left the studio in the middle of it) and the first F.E.A.R. game are part of the dev team. A good formula for an intense experience, imho. Hoprfully this game will incorporate some stealthy mission where we can go through Fisher-style snapping necks n stuff. But please leave out creepy little girls. Okay? Thanks!
This game is about desicions & consequences in terms of deciding which one keep alive and who to send to die (all regarding your own troops i seems). They want to trigger a morale dilemma for the player by having to make such hard decisions within seconds as the battlefield demands. To be able to progress you have to sacrifice some man as distraction or in some other ways like using some to advance into unkown territory only to see them being ambushed and slaughtered. Just an idea of mine when thinking how the devs might be pulling this scenatio off gameplay-wise. So whats the game mechanic behind it? The more man you loose the harder the game gets? Or will this game have some real-time mechanic to adopt the playstyle of the game to the numer of your teammates: the less guys you have left in your team the more stealty the level becomes in terms of design and layout. Procedural level creation sort of
That would be a cool mechanic. If you are doing great the game keeps action-packed and fast but when you are outnumbered the pace changes and the game gets this stealh-game vibe. Oh, and i have read somewhere in a very old preview that they want to implement many enviromental hazards for the player like collapsing buildings, wind storms and tadaaaa bad guys equipped with AKs...
