Developer Cloud Imperium Games announced a wicked cool-looking real-time facial animation system for the game, while the studio also gave a presentation during which a lot of new gameplay was shown. If you missed the broadcast or want to see it again, the video is now online and can be seen below (via Kotaku). >The video shows off Star Citizen's upcoming Alpha 3.0, which, among other things, adds persistence to the world which means the damage your ship may contain will carry forward when you play. The gameplay video (skip to around 9 minutes) starts with the character waking up from sleep on a ship before going out on a mission, driving across alien landscapes. Also on display in this video is the new facial animation system, which tracks your facial movements and tracks them into the game in real time.
