SiN Episodes: Emergence is a 2006 First-Person Shooter developed by Ritual Entertainment. It's the fourth installment of the SiN franchise and is the canonical follow-up to the Wages of Sin Expansion Pack.It stars Colonel John Blade and his Mission Control J.C. Armack once more, however they're joined by newcomer Jessica Cannon, a rookie in HardCorps who's been assigned to rescue Blade after a mission gone wrong led him to being strapped into Elexis Sinclaire's laboratories. Elexis herself isn't alone this time, as she's joined by mafia boss Radek, who wants to use Elexis's discoveries for his own good.The game was developed using Valve Software's Source engine, even reusing code from Half-Life 2. However, this has a justification: at the same time Episodes (the first out of 9 planned episodes) was developed, Ritual Entertainment was developing an Expansion Pack for Quake IV called Awakening. However, said pack was aborted after the commercial failure of the game, leading this game to have a shorter budget and Ritual being sold to MumboJumbo, who put them to work with "casual games". As a result, the remaining eight episodes were scrapped. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| SiN Episodes: Emergence (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The game shipped with a rather nefarious bug with the dynamic difficulty feature. There are hidden triggers, scattered throughout the game, that tweak the difficulty based on, among other things, how much time it takes the player to progress through them. Two such triggers were accidentally created such that they would not disappear after being hit, meaning players who lingered around them would be unknowingly triggering them multiple times per second, causing the difficulty to skyrocket to Nintendo Hard and beyond, quite possibly to the point of being Unwinnable. | |

Vengeful Vending Machine: Vending Machines will eventually release 2 health items if the player keeps interacting with them, further using them will result in live grenades being dumped out instead. | |

Sexy Surfacing Shot | |
| SiN Episodes: Emergence (Video Game) / int_497bdeec | comment |
Sexy Surfacing Shot: The game has a gratuitous fanservice moment of this early on, when Blade has a hallucination of Elexis in a lake, and she slowly surfaces from the water in a Barely-There Swimwear while Shaking the Rump. | |

Credits Gag: Several characters appear at the end of the credits in order to deliver some goofy lines. These include Jessica, a hobo, a citizen, a SinTEK worker and Radek himself. | |

Evil Tower of Ominousness | |
| SiN Episodes: Emergence (Video Game) / int_65163c3a | comment |
Evil Tower of Ominousness: The SinTEK tower, which Jessica says looks down upon the city. It is first visible when you manage to escape the pit, and if you are at the position where you see explosions from the U4 Lab (and no-clip outside), you can see said tower to the right. Compare this visiblity to the chapter where you enter the U4 Lab, where the SiNTEK tower isn't visible. As everything is practically in walking distance, it would appear as if the tower underwent Ridiculously Fast Construction during the time Blade was underground. | |

Missing Secret | |
| SiN Episodes: Emergence (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1 | comment |
Missing Secret: There are additional Radio Calls for Jessica/JC when the player looks at certain environmental objects, however a large chunk of them (particulary in Sintek Tower) either don't play it all or bring up the radio call prompt, only for no dialogue to ensue once the player presses it. (Such as the findable files of Jessica or Blade's mother.) | |

Recycled Animation | |
| SiN Episodes: Emergence (Video Game) / int_b0b8970e | comment |
Recycled Animation: One of the ways the game saved on production budget was to reuse code base and even assets like animations and entity code from Half-Life 2, as can be seen in things like the rifle butt used by enemy soldiers, and the mutants' ability to whack physics objects at you. | |
