soooo... new star wars game in 08... just read an article about the engine that it uses.... oh my god it sounds amazing.
simulation based gameplay. if it looks like something can be done, then it can be. enemies want to live, so like when they fall of ledges, they make an attempt at holding onto the ledge, even going so far as trying to climb

Its an exciting time to be getting into game development right now. There are so many things that are happening. Before now all there was was graphics. Now that graphics are starting to be downplayed and other aspects of gaming are starting to get some attention. Ask several developers what the most new important thing of gameing is and you'll get difrent answers. Everything from physics, AI, particles and lighting are being worked on. Each of those things has a chance to massively change the way games are played and what we think of games.

thats why this damned star wars game is going to kick ass. they arnt going for photo realism, they are going for life like. IE things act and are effected as they are in the real world. so awsome
