More On: Mafia 2
Hear what the 2K development team has to say about the Illusion Engine, PhysX Engine, AI and other technology behind Mafia II. They discuss the difficulty in attempting to create a realistic environment for gamers, with every scenario, object and person reacting in the way that the gamer would expect them to.

Destruction of the environment adds to the trickiness of said realism. The team explains how lighting played into this endeavor, and they show off some gameplay clips to go along with it. You’ll also get a bit of insight into the cinematic direction of the film, as well as where the characters took their inspiration from. Enjoy below. If the video isn't enough information, don't forget about our preview and interview with Joe Scalici, Director of Creative Production.
