27
WorthPlaying reports; Mafia II, developed by the original creators Illusion Softworks, features a deep mobster-driven narrative packed with both behind-the-wheel and on-foot action. The Illusion engine was specifically written for Mafia II, and successor to IS' LS3D engine which was used in the original game. According to the few details out there the new engine will rival CryEngine 2 (Crysis Warhead) and support only DirectX 10.

Well if the engine is supposed to rival the Cry engine, then no, 360 is not going to be able to handle this one.
Great news though, cant wait to play on my Vista gaming PC.

Oh thanks for clearing that up, my apologies to SuperM i misunderstood.
do you think this article meant "Mafia II supports DX10" and not "supports only DX10" blademask???
because I cannot see how a game being released for consoles that don't support DX10, can say it supports ONLY DX10...must be an error somewhere or am i wrong?

Neither the 360 or PS3 have DX10 support, however PS3 has Evans OPENGL support which is the successor to DX10, 360 is not slated to have this support.

First of all Directx is a graphics API by microsoft wich mainly offers pre-packed code for developers to achieve certain graphic/network/sound etc. effects the easy way, but you are bound to what dx offers you.
OpenGL on the other hand is an open plattform you can program what every you want into it. Its more work but its 100 times more flexible.
So technically Opengl > DX 10.
and no the 360 doesnt have any dx10 support, the only thing they can do is calculate certain dx10 effects via software.

The Engine worked fine on ps2, they're not changing much for the new one.It most likely will be on next gen, why wouldn't it?

3.4 - @Candy Stop...
you're joking right?
name me a 360 exclusive that looks as good as Killzone 2...no seriously give me the name of a game that looks as good as Killzone 2.
you see what I say about fanboys that refuse to see the light, we ALL know KZ2 looks better than ANY game on the 360, it's a proven fact, Uncharted is IMO looks better than 360 exclusives too, so please name me a game on the 360 library that is as amazing as Killzone 2 or uncharted.
only an idiot will fail to see that the PS3 is more powerful than the xbox 360, I am not a fanboy, i speak the truth.

Sorry buddy. It's true that most multi-platform games look better on the 360, but when you start to compare exclusives there is no contest. The PS3 has better looking exclusives.
The major problem with multi-platform devs, is that many don't yet know how to use the cell. You'll start seeing more quality as developers get more used to the PS3.

Blademask, you really are a moron. I like how every post of yours includes a subtle dig at the 360. I bought the PS3 version of Farcry 2 and had to install a 4gb file. I then went to play it at my mates house on the 360, no install and .... what???!!?! it actually looks better. I don't doubt that a HDD can aid games, but only exclusive titles will really make use of it.
Just accept the PS3 isn't the console it was said it would be. I have and I still much prefer my PS3 to my 360, but thats not to say the 360 is without its own merits.

5 - so it uses dx10 only?
so it will make me run a crappy version of windows that i had to pay alot for, then it will overtax my ram (windows OS style :) followed by getting a minimal increase that could have easily been achieved with dx9 and optimization of graphics settings or even overclocking?
thx
i'll care when the difference is obvious and the new OS doesn't eat up all my ram.

ATI already stated cleary, 360 GPU architecture has nothing to do with DX10 when they were asking about how writing the drivers for their DX10 cards, feature such as stream out doesnt even need to be a DX10 function, Xbots never learn. Real DX10 would need atleast Geometry shaders and Shader Model 4 which non of the console support. This article is probably wrong.

How about people stop bashing PS3/360 (delete where necessary) and actually talk about the game itself?
If this game has a decent storyline, it will rock.
