A regenerating health system is in place, meaning Jensen never has to worry about running low on supplies, but rather must find a safe spot for a few seconds to recover. That being said, the regeneration isn't immediate. Eidos Montreal is still including recovery items for players who don't have time to wait for the regen to kick in

So the one, single half-decent argument in favour of regenerating health - that it stopped medkit-spam - has now been removed. Good job, EM. Good job.

I just made a post about this article, but you beat me to it. You can just ignore mine.

I think somebody is forgetting how fast guns shoot.

Is that how long it takes?

The addition of secondary aid kits makes me think the regeneration may take far longer than we're familiar with in other games. This way they still avoid their absurd fear of players running out of health packs at important times, but during fights there's still a way to save you from imminent death if you have the resources.

If they balanced it right, I foresee this whole system still being a healthy challenge.

5 seconds is longer than you think in a heavy battle...

Just a guess.

I hope your right. That doesnt actually sound bad at all.

[Ilves]

Hah!

[TrickyVein]

That just made my day.

What happened to your pouting blue lips, Ilves?

I hate Bush as much as the next guy, but really?

I hope their political commentary in the game won't be as juvenile.

[Wunderbar_007]

Any chance this is actually in game?

It's in-game. But that doesn't mean it's not still a Bullshot.

[Badmaker]

Damn, 4 years of production, thats a lot of money involved. They will concentrate their selling on consoles no doubt. The 3rd person camera and regen are inevitable.

It's just concept art so /shrug.

[Anasumtj]

I will concede that fighting a mechanically augmented GWB would tickle my pleasure receptors somewhere...

Tricks! Haven’t you been keeping up? Black ’n gold is the new blue around here.

Better yet, a Cheney with mech aug kneecaps

[TrickyVein]

Well, Ilves, there was that whole semester of university schooling which pulled me away for a while, but I've got my priorities straight now.

He's on the verge of having a synthetic heart anyway, isn't he?


The only thing "new" for me from the article is the mention of radial menu for weapons, but that makes sense in console terms.

Medkits being present at all is a Good Thing™. Will make it easier to mod out regen.

Or they could have shaved of a year or so from development and just listened to their fans and their crazy ideas for a health system. Now even their flimsy reason for introducing the system doesn't even make sense anymore.

"A regenerating health system is in place, meaning Jensen never has to worry about running low on supplies, but rather must find a safe spot for a few seconds to recover. That being said, the regeneration isn't immediate. Eidos Montreal is still including recovery items for players who don't have time to wait for the regen to kick in as well as ways to boost overall health reserves.

Using cover like this will be especially important since Jensen, according Eidos Montreal, even when fully augmented still won't be able to absorb that much damage before getting killed."

So the regen isnt immediate, and Jensen can still die easily if cover isnt found. This makes me a little more hopeful.
