Eigentlich sollte "SiN Episodes" schon letztes Jahr erscheinen, wurde dann aber auf Anfang 2006 verschoben. Sehr weit scheint man jetzt nicht mehr von der Veröffentlichung entfernt zu sein, wie ein Blog Eintrag von Lead Game Designer Shawn Ketcherside verrät:
"The video shows much of the progress we’ve made since the shaky-cam CES videos. There’s a lot more polish, nearly all the HL2 placeholder assets are gone, and the gameplay is much much tighter.
Of course, the video is still showing some footage from an older build of the game, in the time it’s taken to get everything squared away with it, we’ve dumped in a phenomenal amount of additional content. Overall though, it’s a pretty solid look at what we’ve got going.
We’re days away from being content complete now, so the last few days and the next few days the game is going to be slammed with a deluge of additional assets as we get ready to lock down. Right now our big focus is on choreography sequences, skyboxes, and the little details that make the world feel more “real.”
The exciting thing is that we’re actually wrapping this thing up. Once we hit our content complete (aka Beta) milestone, all we’ll be doing is balance tweaks, bug fixing, and prepping for release."
Der Trailer der ersten Episode "Emergence" läuft 2 Minuten und 50 Sekunden und steht in verschiedenen Auflösungen bereit.
