The most challenging aspects was on the communication side between all studios - EA Dice Sweden, Virtuos Shanghai, Xi’an, Chengdu. Creating a cohesive environment, art bible and execution directions which had to be given out as clearly as possible.
Creating living and breathing Hong Kong lighting and traffic systems, as well as for different terrain types for the gunfight gameplay, supported with gameplay cinematic has been a challenging yet technical breakthrough experience.
