By Debabrata Nath

IO Interactive’s confirmed it’ll be showcasing the G2-Crowd Technology used in Hitman Absolution at GDC.

The G2- Crowd Tech is a new feature of IO’s Glacier 2 engine, built from the ground up to meet the high demands of the development team to achieve what they want with Hitman Absolution’s crowd.

Its been built to feature a very dense crowd in the game, which’ll allow players to both interact and influence the behaviour of each individual in the crowd.

IO’s physics programmer Kasper Fauerby will do a presentation describing the technology at the conference. It’ll take place on Wednesday at room 2006, West Hall of the Moscone Center, 2nd Floor.

Hitman Absolution releases for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
