Bot Colony (www.botcolony.com), increases immersion by enabling a user to converse with characters in English. That could integrate well with 4).
Continuous-speech interfaces (and not just commands!) are a clear alternative to game controllers, and actually also to keyboards.
Narrative 9) will matter a lot more when it's interactive, and a player can use his/her own words to explore it, instead of picking canned lines from a dialogue tree. That's how Bot Colony, which launched its public Alpha-funding on December 13, works.
