• controls are now more intuitive, we use the roll bar, you simply point to an object and a list of actions you can perform is displayed.
• story - there is a great background story in the game, everything you do makes sense
• graphics - very much improved - shadow maps, realtime shadows, single mesh characters, more than 150.000 faces per mission. Anyway, its better to look at the screenshots attached
• animations - we bought our own motion capture studio, so we can recapture any movement we are not satisfied with whenever we want, for no extra cost
• engine is totally new, we use the same engine for Mafia and other games within Illusion Softworks. It’s being developed by four extra people and it’s tweaked to a maximum. We don´t know about any other engine which is so good for both indoor and outdoor, and runs also on Playstation2 and will run on X-Box
• code - there are 5 programmers working on the game (apart from engine programmers - they are extra) and they have enough time to polish their code. As for the AI, one person is doing just the AI full-time
• music is now composed by Czech musicians and played by a live orchestra
