The graphics with John P.s textures.
The new AI
Town areas
Dislikes:
Movement, and the awkwardness of blackjacking people.
Some of the guard dialogue is abysmally unrealistic
Too damn easy, even on expert. Would be much better without killing anyone, which I just personally abide to anyway.

Amazing graphics? Garrett's belt is a texture, there is no three dimensional model for it! I've seen real time strategy games do better than that. Textures for three dimensional models went out around 1999.
Of course this means all the lighting, bump-mapping and art direction are shite! :rolleyes:

Well, a good majority of the art assets were pretty much stripped down to their undies for performance. I've been told that before the downsizing of the models and textures, the game was something of beauty to behold. That wouldn't change the poor choice in artistic style taken with the game, but at least what they did have would have looked much better.
Just an observation, but I've noticed that you have a habit of responding to random posts from many pages back. Usually old posts that have been long forgotten. Just an observation, I find it curious.

My three likes ...
1) Realistic shadows and lighting
2) Lots of Keepers (Keepers rock!!) :cool:
3) Terrifying moments (-> Cradle!) :eek:
... and peeves
1) Stupid stupid AI (Guard raises alarm over the body of a rogue he has slain himself just a minute ago.) :rolleyes:
2) Not very cool Garrett (The hunchback of St. Edgar!? Why can't he stand upright? and why is he so short?) :tsktsk:
3) Ragdoll system (booh! Ion Storm, you could have done better ...) :nono:

Dislikes..
That bloody game engine they made..I have a 7900GT 2Gb RAM and a 4200X2 and with everything maxed out I only get 35fps..
Physics...
Animation...
But from what I understand the game had a lot of trouble when it was being made with a lot of developers leaving throughout the making of it for whatever reasons...I also think that this game was made at the wrong time...the physics for dead characters was just starting to be implemented in games and a lot of games at this time had dodgy physics...
The graphics were very nice but were too good for PC's at the time especially with a poorly optimised engine so that would be the main reason the levels are so small...
Whatever happened to the new Dark Engine that LGS was supposed to be working on when they went bankrupt...You would have thought it would have been the best engine for a game such as this..
So much potential...So much lost... :(
