The APEX clothing module realistically makes trench coats flap in the wind and sway while characters walk or run. The first, the 'clothing module,' will realistically model flowing clothes on what are designated as 'primary characters.' In the case of Mafia II, this means Vito (the protagonist) and any other characters that happen to be up close to him will benefit from this module. (To clarify, both the PC and console versions of the game will be supported by PhysX, but only the PC version will have APEX.) Specifically, the PC version of Mafia II will take advantage of two different aspects of APEX technology. Mafia II on the PC will be supported by additional physics effects that will make clothing animations and explosions look even more realistic.įor Mafia II, 2K Games has partnered with computer hardware manufacturer Nvidia to be the first PC game to integrate APEX, a new graphical framework that incorporates the company's PhysX physics modeling engine to create realistic-looking object movement and interactions in-game. It will also support some of the most high-end 3D effects available on the PC, and we recently had a chance to take an exclusive look. Just when you thought you were out, 2K Games is looking to pull you back in with a sequel that takes place in the 1940s and 1950s. The truth was that the original PC version of Mafia, released in 2002, was a state-of-the-art action game with great voice acting, an intriguing story, and an authentic atmosphere that made you feel like were a big-city mobster back in the Roaring Twenties.

2K Games' Mafia II will be the sequel to the cult classic Mafia, a third-person action game that was sadly mislabeled as nothing more than a 1920's-era Grand Theft Auto.
