Mafia II trailer is real-time

'What you see... is a great representation of the quality of work that you will see throughout Mafia II'.

2K Czech Lead Animator Tomas Hrebicek has confirmed that the footage shown in the recent Mafia II trailer is in fact created in real-time.

"It really was," said Hrebicek. "All the scenes were completely created in our editor the same way we create cutscenes for the game. Our cutscene editor is a very powerful tool. Besides, we can see it all real-time which makes our work a lot easier. There was absolutely no need to modify the resulting video in the post production.

"Because everything was created solely in our editor, only our in-game scenes and models were used. So what you see here is great representation of the quality of work that you will see throughout Mafia II. Of course, this is not the end yet, and frame rate and other technical issues are still being tweaked in order to have the game working smoothly on all the platforms we create it for."

That doesn't mean the gameplay will look the same even if the ingame models were used... let's see some game play then if it's that great... Report Reply

thpcplayer	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post @ghostdog25 You are saying this because you haven't played mafia. The game feels like you are a real gangster. It feels even better than GTA. First play it then comment on it. BEST GAME OF 2009 I think nobody of you commenting has played mafia as you are new gaming boys. Mafia 1 was the first game i played and best that i've played after GTA IV. IT ROCKS Report Reply
