Cutscenes

[Godfather1930]

Do you think Mafia 2's cutscenes will use the game's engine like in Mafia 1?

Humm , Mafia 2 use the new engine of IS , maybe made by Denis Černý . And also IS use the Renderware like middeware . In some screens looks like cutscenes with the engine

*Thats interesting, I thought you were using middleware technology. So now you are betting on your own technologies?*

"Yes, we used middleware technology like Renderware, but we had some complications with that, so we had to decide what to do next and we had to choose between a costly and very risky Unreal engine and our own technology with which we did not have to rely on a different company. In that time a part of the team in Prague was already working on the basic technology which seemt very promising, so we took the best of both projects and combine them into a team that develops technologies for all our games except Enemy In Sight, which has a bit different demands. Anyway,all of our games came out on our own technology and engine and so it will be in the future."

Mafia II is based on 2K Czech's own technology (developed by 2K Czech's technology team located in Prague) which has some built-in middleware technologies like Aegia PhysX for realistic reactions of enviroment or Lightsprint algorithms for counting realistic ligtning in indoor scenes. Thats all we know so far :-)

You simply have to respect the time and energy that go into making a mad-ass engine, kudos to you guys :)
