During the preproduction of the game, I was in charge of the entire Level Design of a second island : Dubaï. The project was designed to take the high level player from Hawaii to Dubaï.
With that in mind, we made a huge research on every element of the Dubaï environment :
Roads and marking
Buildings and monuments
Vegetation and districts
Topography and landscape
Street elements

Makes me wonder, even though Dubai was canned, they probably still have the info and data for future use? :hmmm:
