There's a new preview available at UK site PC Gameplay covering SSI's highly anticipated comback RPG Pool of Radiance - Ruins of Myth Drannor:
While POR uses pre-rendered background scenery for the location visuals, as with Baldur's Gate, POR dispenses with BG's 2D bitmap graphics for characters and creatures, instead using 3D graphics for its populace. This improvement isn’t just for eye candy purposes either. It means characters can interact more realistically with 3D items in the game, for example, pushing objects to block a doorway (to keep enemies at bay). |
