PCGH: Having a closer look at the release PC Screenshots it becomes clear that a very detailed visual presentation seems to have played an important role while developing Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Do you leverage very modern rendering techniques like Parallax Occlusion Mapping, Soft Shadows, HDR, a lighting model with Deferred Shading, Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, Shader Model 4.0 or post effects like Tone Mapping, Depth of Field or Motion Blur? If yes can you please give examples how this modern rendering techniques are utilized in Ghostbusters: The Video Game?
Mark Randel: All versions use modern techniques and more - you'll see lots of parallax mapping, even on the PS3. Dynamic soft shadows, HDR, tone mapping, radiosity lighting, and other techniques will be used. Ghostbusters uses over 4900 unique rendering materials that could not be achieved or handled with the current "buzz" of deferred shading. Only the low overhead rendering techniques inside of the Infernal Engine can support this diverse set of material fidelity. For example, the advanced skin and hair shading of the Ghostbusters characters could not be done with deferred rendering due to the use of translucency.
