Yeah @lucky760, it's not a hologram (although someone took me to task about the exact definition of hologram once in the past).

It is projected onto a screen and it's a combination of previous live performances of Tupac and a digital creation by Digital Domain.

It's a bloody lifelike animation, I'll give it that.

A trailer so well considered and constructed surely could not be made by a team of people behind a bad game.
Surely?


Actually, the trailer was done by Scottish animation studio Axis Animation. Story here. The game however will be developed by Techland, a polish developer best known for the Call of Juarez series.

It's very unusual for CG trailers to be made by the same people who make games these days; generally they are contracted out by the publisher to other companies that specialize in high quality CG. For example, Blur Studio does brilliant work, and was responsible for the trailers for games like Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite, Arkham City, Fable III, Warhammer online, ect. Players don't generally know this, because developers take no pains to credit them.

Maybe some one should throw Axis Animation and Techland into the tags.
