I'm not sure why there's any hostility at all towards these technologies. Don't people realize that it's through
procedural technologies that the holy grail of gaming - a super-interactive and expressive game world will come to be?
This is not just another pixel shader technology being born here, these simple little gimmicks are the beginning to the
truly interactive gaming worlds that everyone so fervently complains they don't have in today's games.
Game worlds are beginning to move away from scripted action to procedural action. If you can't see how this might
benefit gameplay, then you're either not understanding what you're seeing or you're a ludite. Nothing wrong with being
either, really, as long as you don't make a big fuss to everyone else about it. Just boot up your Atari 1600 and
dream of the "Good Ol' Days" of gaming while the world moves on.
I'm not necessarily defending this particular game, it might turn out to be crap, What I am defending is these sorts of
technologies because I can see what they will inevitably lead to.
