Advent Revising is an unofficial fan patch designed to improve the cinematics of Advent Rising.

Additionally, in-game subtitles have been completely redone, rewritten, and retimed.
Version 2.0 adds significant visual and audio updates to 83 cutscenes (over two hours of content), as well as improved lip-syncing.
Features new to v2.0 include:
- Higher quality Xbox-exclusive cutscenes
- All cutscenes re-edited, with visual corrections
- 15 cutscenes new to patch v2.00
- 7 newly edited movie files

Heres an weird little oversight that lets you peer and shoot through the floor.
Once you have an Assault Rifle or SMG, you can press the middle mouse button to fire a rocket. Run forward, aim upward, and perform a Dolphine Dive. Before the animation finishes, press the middle mouse button to shoot off the rocket, temporarily locking Ambers upper torso in a different state than the dive. After you regain control, fire your gun once to keep Amber in this state, or she will snap back to the proper upper body position. Now until you change stances, you can shoot into objects below the floor.
I believe this is a miscommunication between the upper torso and lower torso, which are made independent for the purposes of animation. When Amber fires the rocket, the game tells her upper body to set to a specific state for a period of a few seconds, just like her upper body position changes when firing a gun. Without further input, Amber will move back into an idle state again, just like when you fire and then stand still momentarily. But by firing again, Amber is set into an active state, which Im guessing tells the game that her upper torso is positioned correctly.
Of course, with levels being very flat at the moment, this glitch doesnt provide much opportunity. While shooting beneath you could be absolutely incredible in a multi-tiered level and a sniper rifle, its just not applicable yet. You also have to be fairly careful when firing the rocket, because if the ceiling is too low, youll end up killing yourself.
I still havent managed to find the exact combination of movements to trigger the running glitch shown in the video (where Amber looks like shes running forward when shes moving in any other direction), but it has something to do with using your gun or fine aim mode.
Despite the video, I actually enjoy this game a lot even in this pretty glitchy state, and Id love to see it finished. If it looks interesting to you, be sure to check out the Kickstarter or download the demo on Steam and try it yourself.
