Max Payne II Engine Questions

[Guest]

I have a couple questions that I haven't been able to find answers to anywhere (not that there's a ton of Max 2 info out yet)...

1) Will the character's facial animations include speech/communication. In the first, the characters were extremely detailed, but their lips were sealed. I'd love to see characters mouths move when they talk.

2) Is the lighting per-pixel if your graphics card can support it? And is it unified accross all objects?

Thanks, and I'm sorry if these questions have been answered already.

1) Yes
2) Not known so far.

The only game so far that has unified lighting on all objects and surfaces will be Doom 3.

1) Cool.
2) I hope more games in the future follow Doom3's footsteps. Everything sort of "fits" more when the algorithms are the same for every object/surface.

That being said, the screenshots of Max Payne II so far look awesome. I can't wait.

I hope his tie isn't static in MP2 images/icons/wink.gif

unified lighting is a very silly, silly idea and I want a no part in it.

If all of the shots released are final version shots, then his tie will not move.

These shots are however from an old build, according to Skaven.
