Some Details
I just got confirmation from Chris, the Alistair Lindsay working on Darwinia's sound is the same one listed there. This bodes very well for Introversion, as Rare were well known for their high quality work, and having someone from Rare working on Darwinia with them can only be a good thing.

Chris was also kind enough to give me a little more info on the gesturing systm the game will feature.
Quote from Chris Delay
Basically it replaces the traditional icon based system, but you have to use it in the heat of battle, and how well you do at drawing the gesture under pressure determines how powerful the resulting weapons are.


Sounds very cool to me.

There also promises to be a lot more information in the next issue of PC Gamer, which should be on sale in the next week or 2.
