'Our aim is to make a cohesive and immersive experience and optimise the game for each platform so that it could run its best,' Elizabeth Tovey continues.

#MAFIA 2 DEMO MODS CODE#

In like-for-like areas we can see that the Xbox 360 code has fewer torn frames, but in crucial gameplay areas the game performs at a similar level. The difference here doesn't look to be so much of an issue, as it's clear that both games have issues in sustaining 30FPS based on the sampler code. Mafia II demo console performance analysis. This is something we can address fairly quickly with a montage of action taken from the demo. Where 2K hasn't commented is on issues with the game's frame-rate, which again has come under fire as being inferior to the 360 version. Pools of blood and SSAO appear to be found only on the Xbox 360 code. Also apparent are differences in the anti-aliasing setup that favour 360 (though this is not exactly hugely apparent when comparing the two games side by side) while screen-space ambient occlusion (SSAO) is another effect we only see on the Microsoft console, as you can see on the bottom set of comparison shots.

It's also confirmed that downed NPCs do indeed spill blood, which results in bloody footsteps if you walk through it, and this does appear to be omitted on the PS3 version. The paring down of grass on the PS3 version appears to have upset many. However, it is clearly the case that while major foliage is rendered on PS3, the grass isn't, making for some rather barren areas compared to the 360 build. Pop into a bush, spin the camera around and take a look at the make-up of the greenery - you'll note that it doesn't actually render in three dimensions at all. Mafia II is an interesting game in that grass and foliage actually uses 2D sprites, given some element of depth thanks to the dynamic lighting. So just what are the main differences we see in the demo? Let's tackle the grass issue first. It appears that Mafia II complies with the norm in this regard. Due to prolonged QA and submission processes, it's more often the case that demos are built in the very closing stages of development, or after the game has been sent off to the platform holder for approval. Previously unconfirmed reports had suggested that the build of the game used for the PS3 demo wasn't complete, a state of affairs that isn't unknown in putting together playable samplers, but definitely very rare.

There will not be highly detailed grass or large pools of blood, the cloth movement is less noticeable than, for example, the PC version, and the visual fidelity in the demo is generally representative of what you'll see in the full game.' In terms of the PS3 version, I wanted to clarify a couple points you have been asking about. 'Because of this, there are some differences from one platform to the next.

'When designing Mafia II, we optimised for each of the three different systems the game would run on to make sure the core experience was the best it could be,' wrote 2K's senior manager of interactive marketing, Elizabeth Tovey, on the company's forum.
