"Last time around we used Criterion's rendering middleware, Renderware. This time Sumo Digital have brought their proprietary technology. The Game will be the first to use Sumo's next generation development technology: Emmersion. The new system is a complete development solution covering all aspects of game creation from 3D rendering to task tracking."
