It's definitely going to be bigger and complex levels, rather than small and linear. As far as gameplay, our main inspirations are Thief, Deus Ex, etc., but also Chaos Theory as you mention. We want to make a spy game, not an action game and that means the spy should be able to remain undetected.

One of the pertinent questions that arose in this thread was (I'm paraphrasing here) "What's the espionage gameplay going to be like? Beacuse stealth/infiltration is just a part of espionage". There have been quite a few stealth games, but not that many games that are about the whole social aspect of turning people to your cause, using them to achieve your goals etc. That would mean, for me, a spy game. What you're talking about seems more like a stealth game than a spy game.
There will be a bunch of social engineering, but I was answering specifically toward the stealth aspect. The social engineering takes form in different ways, either through bribes or blackmail that you plan out before the mission, you then activate those assets during the mission. There'll also be an option to enter a mission in "low profile", where you'll be wearing civilian clothes and police/guard/etc. won't be hostile toward you (Unless they catch you doing something bad) and you'll be able to talk to people.
Me and Grunker knew this since gamescom.
First rate reporting.
We were told off the record.

Hitman 2 was the fucking bomb.
Max Payne 2 had quite a good combat/movement system - nice and fluid.

Please make sure to increase combat lethality. One-hit kills from explosives and a sniper round to the chest.
I think the most important question hasn't been asked yet.
Will there be katanas?

Say what you want about Codex patrons being hard to please and more selective about modern games, I'll buy damn near anything that's stealth-based. I'm stealth's fucking bitch.
Like the sound of the heavy spy vibe. I'd love to be sneaking into offices to take pictures of documents and that kind of shit. Gives me a fucking hard on.

The music has to be awesome as well. MG, Thief, Hitman all had great music and so must this game.

Raise a hand if you think Dalekflay lurked on his bitch cousin to see her tits.

No comment.
Uplink is probably the biggest inspiration when it comes to the hacker gameplay. We won't have tracing exactly like they did in Uplink; instead there'll be an admin monitoring the networks you connect to, where you'll have to avoid raising suspicion.

Jonas Wæver said:We will have no boss battles (because I hate boss battles), our stealth is going to be quite nuanced and absolutely central to the play experience, our firefights are going to be extremely lethal, and our dialogue options will be printed in full just like in Conquistador.
There will probably be timers on certain dialogue options, but it won't be a general thing - just when it makes sense

You'll need to use raw input data, because Unity sucks without it.
