In one instance we saw, Isaac shot out a glass window that hadn’t been reinforced, causing a space-vacuum to occur in the room, sucking Isaac and baddies out into the void. The damage modelling on the office-like area we saw looked convincing and comprehensive, with Isaac laying waste to any object in his path.ĭamaging certain areas of the Sprawl will also lead to some nail-biting context sensitive events being triggered. Fully destructible, an overhauled physics system lets you use telekinesis to grab shards of glass and metal blown from your surroundings and hurl them at the necromorphs.
