Information originally from MinnMax's Ben Hanson. There is an existing game used to describe this new game to Hanson as a point of reference, and all we know is that that game is not Hitman.

I'm reminded of the techniques Valve used for this type of thing in the Half-Life episodes.

Say, for instance, they have a bit of destruction physics that they think looks memorable and they want people to see. They'll have a Combine soldier shoot at you from that direction, to force your attention that way. They may also set the event on a "Look Trigger" so that it will only happen while the player is looking at it.

Yeah. Valve invented most of the attention direction techniques for Half-life (light, motion, etc, etc.) Trailblazers.
