Shank 2 to have double the animation
Published on
The team of professional animators at Klei has increased its output for Shank 2.
"The goal here was to blow away our previous fidelity and set a new bar for ourselves," Klei co-founder Jamie Cheng wrote on the US PS Blog.
"To do that, we doubled the resolution of all the source character art to push the graphic novel style, adding a huge amount of extra detail to the environment and even doubling the amount of animation in the game."
In addition to a co-op mode, Klei is adding more destructible and interactive environments as well as the ability to use enemies' weapons - sometimes before they've let go of them - and a 360 degree friing range.
Shank 2 is due on console networks next year. Check out a teaser trailer for the game below.
