The AI system drives the characters and vehicles, and the programmed system built with Houdini generates the city. The world partition system of Unreal Engine 5 makes the development of a broad environment easier to manage.
The movement of vehicles, the clothing of characters, and the destruction of buildings are all simulated in the engine using the Chaos physics system of Unreal Engine. In the chase experience, since the collision of the car is simulated in real-time by Chaos, the same collision will never happen twice. Each run is unique.
