Tommy guns will chip bricks, mince meat
2K Games has announced that all versions of Mafia II will
feature Nvidia's PhysX technology to bring an extra dose of realism to
the mob underworld.
The game will be based on 2K Czech's Illusion Engine and in addition to
PhysX it will also use Nvidia's APEX Clothing Module to make pin stripe
suits and silk shirts look just as good as in the Godfather.
The engine will offer more dynamic character animations and particle
systems will deliver much more realistic explosions, debris and
destructible environments. A short burst from the Tommy gun will chip
brick walls and splinter wood. We're not sure what it will do to flesh,
but we're guessing Jack Thompson would not approve.
The game is slated to launch in late August and if it turns out half as
good as the original, it could be one of the biggest titles in 2010.
