In Slipgate, you'll have the chance to enjoy physics and partial destructibility thanks to integrated PhysX. Enemies taking critical damage explode into chunks of meaty giblets, and the 3D sound effects technology EAX immerses you fully into the atmosphere of the 2000s.
Destructibility, gibbing, and a bit of physics.
SCIENCE-FICTION SHOOTER PLOT
As a result of a failed portal experiment, the cyclopean installation "D-SPEAR" is broken, and humanity once again finds itself on the brink of extinction. The Gates of Hell are open again, and demons are rushing into our world. Only one person stands between Hell and Earth, and that person is you. Somewhere on the other side of the hellish portal, your wife awaits salvation.
You are about to embark on a long, terrifying, and mystery-filled journey. Amid fountains of blood and spent cartridges, knee-deep in gore, brushing shoulders with death at every turn. Feeding off the power of demons, traverse alternate dimensions, unraveling all the secrets of the teleportation complex.
But is Evil truly on the other side of the gates?

New things are: A support for a groundbreaking EAX sound technology - a golden classics of surrounding sound from 2000-s. The DSOAL library helped us a lot. Our engine doesn't have a full EAX support, and your system could have some problems with it - so this feature is still experimental. Enable it with great care in Option menu! Menu system overhaul - now everything's a bit better: new Options (like mouse inversion), auto-skip system for intro, better visuals. Also, new players would see a new menu for Quality/Performance and EAX settings. Fixes for annoying fall-through-level problem. Now it won't break your gameplay anymore. Fixes for Infernus gun. Now it won't slow down your PC so much. Daemonic Shotgun and Infernus were rebalanced. Roboskulls and Slayers were tuned down a bit. Fixes for gamma and logging system, other small bugfixes. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43303202/f5472bdad215eb35ba267395dc4db3fce4757c4a.png Go and play!Read full article on Community Announcements (wolf4d)Patch NotesOfficial
