|valign="top"| | |valign="top"|Well, at least they got the interpolation in there. When it comes to IK, destructible environments, and rigid-body physics, I have no idea how they still planned to write all that code and release in 10 months, but perhaps Brent generated a wish list at the start of the project (1997) and just never changed it to reflect their gradually lowering ambitions. In [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=4166 this] note on the old forum by PR guy Matt Soell, he explains that IK was no longer needed because they achieved their goals (such as disarm moves) through other means. Well, disarm moves are nice, but this original doc indicates that they had higher goals than that for IK. Also, is Soell saying that they had IK quasi-working before they changed their minds? Could this mid-stream change explain the primitive physics in the retail version of the game? --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 03:09, 12 August 2011 (CEST) | ||

MP was not announced as cut until mid-2000, shortly before the MS deal was concluded. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 03:09, 12 August 2011 (CEST) | ||

| | |Brent lists no information for Amen, which is strangely foreshadowing of the fact that it was canceled in 2000. Apparently the game was over-ambitious and could not work successfully on the limited technology of the time. It was also supposed to be set in 2032, when a global cataclysm occurs shortly before Christmas. What the...?! --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 03:09, 12 August 2011 (CEST) | ||

|Overall, Oni seems to be the only third-person game (in the near future) aiming directly at the action crowd without incorporating substantial puzzle or exploration elements.
