DoInThIs4FuN u must read the New " for dummies " book like carnage did.

back to ur thread well lets see:



My impressions: Gorgeous looking. The dynamic lights and shadows are exquisite, Mr. Fisher is rendered beautifully, everything looks wonderfully crisp (more power to the high res PC monitor over the t.v. screen&#33. Crisp, I tell you! The cloth physics seem incongruous and outright unrealistic, but the effect is still cool. I love shooting out all the lights and switching to nightvision, and the wallbacking move comes in pretty handy.

The controls (about which I was most worried) are surprisingly well done, with the mousewheel determining Mr. Fisher's speed of movement (it seems there are 4, from sneak to run). I think they did a great job with the keyboard & mouse setup.

As far as the camera setup, it works. For me, at least. The mouse allows freelook as well as panning around Mr. Fisher (the better to see his cool moves), and when you move it's camera relative, not character relative: for example, if you're looking at Mr. Fisher's front view hit the forward key and he'll turn and walk away from the camera (his back towards you), automatically switching you to over-the-shoulder view.
