Alex, the protagonist was taught to hunt at an early age as well as to evade attacks and to grapple and use weapons so improved combat is expected. The radio that emits static when enemies are near and the torch will make a come-back after being dropped in version 4: The Room. The camera will feature 360-degree motion and the PS3 version is expected to have some Sixaxis functionality.
Version 5 also features an ‘active wound system’ which means you have to treat specific wounds as you might in real life. This could mean that enemies target specific parts of your body that are already wounded adding a sense of intelligence to the antagonists.
