GAMEPLAY

Combat - Being just an average dude means you don't have all those extra hand to hand moves they teach you in the military. Sean has a variety of hand to hand moves he can use in a very rugged style to defeat his enemies. Grabs, headbutts and groin kicks all make an appearance in the game. But as the game progresses, Sean's hand to hand combat skills progress allowing him to become an even deadlier weapon. Weapons also play a big part in the game. While melee weapons are unconfirmed you will be able to use a variety of German firearms such as the famous MP-40 and the STG-44. But you can't just walk around occupied France with a gun slung on your back. That leads to the prescense of Stealth Kills. When an enemy is back on, simply walk up behind him and snap his neck. It also looks as if this game will include ragdoll physics. What game isn't these days?

Will To Fight - Will to fight (abbreviated to Wtf) is a factor that tells how much the people in Paris want you to fight and/or fight with you and also affects the "color" of the city directly. When you begin the game the will to fight is low, the city is grey (with the exception of Nazi flags which glow red) and civilians will be afraid of you. The majority of the city is owned by the Germans and you can't go anywhere without running into a patrol or two. However, fight the Invaders and they will begin to leave each area they occupy. When the German Army leaves an area the color begins to return to the area you have liberated, the sky turns blue and clouds recede, all in real-time. The civilians will cheer you on as you fight with enemy soldiers, and some will gain the courage to even come help you fight. This includes members of the Maquis French Resistance and the British SOE. WTF also affects the sound. When in grey, you will hear ravens cawing and German marching music playing over the radio but in color you will hear songbirds chirping and jazz playing all the time.

Clamoring - Sean is very acrobatic. Whenever needed, he can find his way up any wall or cliff face through the use of drain pipes, ladders, shutters, windowsills, chimneys, brick walls and all manners of objects to get to the safety of a rooftop. This is especially useful when a patrol of German soldiers is coming your way and you can't afford to be noticed.

Make-Out System - Need to buy some time to get yourself un-noticed by the enemy? Grab the nearest woman and be affectionate! The Nazi's will just think you're a normal civilian couple and continue on their way. She might kiss you back, she might slap you, but its worth it considering the alternative. Nazi's will become suspicious of you if you loiter around in the same area for an extended period of time. This is the best way to keep them from questioning you.

Suspicion - When you commit an act such as fighting a soldier, walking around with a gun slung on your back or killing a person, the Nazi's take notice. They regard you as a common plaything at first but after you piss them off for a bit, their response methods become bigger. It is similar to the wanted star system of the Grand Theft Auto series.

Papers And Questioning System - On occasion you'll come across a German soldier who's job is to randomly select people for questioning. Upon encountering one you may want to try and avoid him. If you come across an officer he will ask for your identification. If you are in an area with low WTF and don't have the correct papers you are immideatley thrown into a fight.

The Disguise System - The game has a heavy focus on disguises to help move the stealth element along. This includes mostly switching your standard garb with that of dead Nazi and Allied soldiers, allowing you to march alongside them with them not knowing who you are. Of course, these uniforms must be intact. You can't go about wearing a bullet-ridden suit or you'll be discovered. Also, the type of suit allows access to different areas. An officer would have more clearance to higher-security areas than a normal grunt would.

Action Hijacking - Pandemic hasn't spoken on hijacking much, but some form of Mercenaries-style action can be expected. View it at around 0:53 in this video.
