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.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Originally released back in 2010 for last-gen (PS3, Xbox 360) consoles, 2K Games has re-released Mafia 2 as part of the Mafia Trilogy, and has called it the “Definitive Edition.” Now, the question is, does this mafia go for the kill, or does it run out of bullets? Read on for our Mafia 2 Definitive Edition review.
Really? Those are some sick graphics if so. Obviously the animations aren't like that in game, but cos it's cutscenes they look better. I'm impressed if the graphics will look like that in game tho.
Is it just more doesnt all developers claim its real time and then later on they say it´s real time and tweaked?
Thanks Rockstar, GTAIV was an amazing game and i can't wait for the DLC, but Mafia is back and it will own GTAIV in every way we can imagine.
Quote (producer Tomas Hrebicek):
"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."
To me, translated into non-techie terms, that sounds like they used in-game character models and assets, and used them to create a video cutscene (i.e., not rendered at runtime). Furthermore, he says the trailer is a good "representation" of the actual quality of the game, the keyword "representation" implying that this is only an indicator, not a true & direct exhibition, of the actual visuals. It sounds like all-too-familiar wily PR speak to me.
Another game that i'm looking forward to this year. Hope it's awesome.
