Also over at HomeLAN this evening is a short preview on Gearbox Software's upcoming tactical shooter, Brothers In Arms. Here's some lovin':

Throughout the demo, Gearbox head man Randy Pitchford emphasised how much research the team has done for Brothers in Arms. The game's story is based on real events, the French village in the E3 demo was modeled on a real location and the game's squad AI reacts just as a real Army unit would have in that time. The AI showed members of the team automatically going for cover, keeping the Germans at bay. Pitchford demonstrated how you order your teammates to surpress the Germans entrenched in their positions while moving other members of your team to take them out. Graphically, the Xbox version of the game shown at E3 is quite solid with some excellent use of facial and vocal animations to give the soliders a more personable look.
