Mafia II to Benefit From NVIDIA Partnership and PhysX Technology

Mafia II

Written Tuesday, May 18, 2010 By Richard Walker

NVIDIA PhysX technology will be coming to Mafia II for PlayStation 3 when it launches late this August 2010.

The tech creates more realistic physics and particle effects, so when you fire off your Tommy gun or smash a stoolie's face through a pane of glass, it'll splinter and shatter realistically.

There are three new screens to illustrate the impact of the PhysX technology on the game, including a car erupting in an orangey ball of flame, sending shards of twisted metal and debris flying through the air.

Dramatic stuff we think you'll agree.

	This seals the deal for me. I love me some good physically destructive environments.

	If bullet fire does that to the third pic, this game is gonna look real good and feel real good missing people and shooting walls.

	Godfather II was just a sample of how great this genre can be... looking forward to Mafia's new iteration.
