Project Eden is a hybrid of genres where knowing your team's abilities is critical for taking down baddies and getting past obstacles throughout the game. Most 3D action games these days only allow you to use one point of view. In Project Eden, the choice is up to you. Using the 3rd person view would let you get a better overview of the situation so you can better get your team into position. If any jumping or climbing obstacles should arise, 3rd person would also be beneficial.1st person will give you a better idea of where you're aiming, perfect for sharp-shooting and players who are more familiar with the 1st person combat.
Teamwork is crucial.
For a game with so many new features, the team at Core Design had to develop a completely new 3D engine. The new engine supports scripted events, as Half-Life does, to further develop the plot and draw the player into a constantly evolving world. It's also able to handle indoor and outdoor environments with high poly-counts with relative ease. Supporting the latest 3D cards with high colors and high resolutions is a given. As you can see in the screenshots, there is plenty of eye candy.
