As for the "classic" sections, it was clear from the promo videos that they were added in at the 11th hour, and not a lot of effort was allocated towards that.

Tagging onto this: if you're talking to me at GDC when I'm sober, and I'm mostly silent & just staring at you, it's likely because I can't get a read on you. I love talking to people, but talking to people who I have never met before is often very hard for me.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Please don't get upset if that happens. Tell me about your favorite DOS game or something, I'll eventually work through my awkwardness.

None of this applies when I'm drunk. If you see me drunk, come up & talk to me about stuff! 🍻

You can be pretty evasive, as all bullets are not hitscan anymore. That applies to your weapons as well. But again, it's too early to tell. This is a decent first taste though.
