While the original game was good-looking for its time and had the impressive feature of partially destructible environments (buildings that could be smashed by supervillains, lampposts that could be torn out of the sidewalk to swat thugs, and so on), the new game will feature a host of technical improvements. These will include better textures, dynamic lighting, enhanced destructible environments, and improved artificial intelligence for your heroes. In the previous game, unless you manually issued orders to each of your heroes, they would stand around and not react when attacked by enemies. In the new game, they'll act on their own and defend themselves according to their personalities (so more-timid heroes may retreat, while more-aggressive heroes will definitely fight back).
