Secondly, Sierra wanted us to go far beyond providing some kind of training ground for multiplayer gamers. Their vision was a single-player campaign that stood entirely on its own, laced with a dramatic story and the types of cool set pieces and fun gameplay that the market has come to expect. Given the variety of gameplay "tools" that Tribes has at its disposal, we have a lot of great opportunities to make each mission unique, while also tying it all together with what I think is a fascinating way of telling a story.

Anyone else doubt this? Seeing how we're all waiting for the big boys to show us single-player FPSes done right, I don't have much faith in Irrational.

That means making sure the terrain is able to give the player the information they need to move properly - so we accentuate gradients, pick out potential ski routes with textures

do i follow this right in saying there gonna texture ski routes? thats the worst idea ever, the skill of the game is finding the ski routes not being told were they are

Anybody else think this looks EXACTLY like Tribes2 with the exception of slightly higher poly counts on the player models? Funny how everything looks so blah after seeing HL2 and D3.

Yup, guess I'm a bit jaded.
