Dunno if it was ever mentioned, but Warhwak will have a completely seamless world, where you can fly and lend wherever you want from the beginning of the game, and also pick up available missions in any order you want and sometimes be able to do them from air or from ground, also using ground vehicles or on foot. It sounds very GTA-ish in terms of freedom that it allows.
There's going to be your capitol city with miles tall skyscrapers, and also varied environments like mountains, swamps, countrysides, islands, etc.
32 player multiplayer takes place in the same world, and again, anyone can jump into ground vehicles, or fly above and help the ground troops, etc.
- Another factoid I remember is that there can be up to around 800 enemies (the number of enemy swarms increases towards the end of the game) on the screen you are fighting against, and the game is supposed to be rock solid 60FPS.
- One SPU is running a wave simulation for water, another is rendering clouds using software raytracer, and then they are overlayed on the rest of the scene rendered by RSX, so clouds in particular are rendered in the same way CGI movie effects are done.
