Mafia 2 demo!

[Raoh]

I found the benchmark on this to be a little strange in the fact that the first time I run it it runs with pretty unimpressive fps, especially at the start/outside bit.
Then when I run it again it's miles better, whether that's due to some caching or what I'm not sure but certainly leads to some big differences in the final score.

All in all I enjoyed the demo though, looks pretty good and inspired me to play the original Max Payne again while waiting for the release; classic game worth revisiting.

40 FPS avg everything maxed out with a 3.3Ghz q6600 and 4870 512

My 2.7ghz C2D seems to be heavily bottle necking me, there is no fps difference between low and high settings :/

I duno, i mean sure it runs bit better but gta4 needs min of 3 cores, does this?

No Mafia 2 doesn't need 3 cores. Mine running great on a E6600 and 250 GTS at 1920x1200, everything on high expect AA/physx. More than playable frame rate at all times.

Wow such a difference with the 360 pad the driving is lovely now compared to hard to control with a keyboard (g11).

The shooting is a bit tricky tho but i might get used to it. Is their no lock on to enemy feature or is it just manual aim?

 

[Paul_cz]

There is a lock on working similarly to RDR, but it does not hold very long. Shooting is a bit more difficult..myself I play driving on x360pad, shooting on mouse+keyboard.

 

[SkeeterUK]

RDR?

basically not the gta 4 auto aim.Using the xbox controller does making driving so much better.

Demo finished downloading half hour ago on steam. When I try to start it, the steam launching box appears momentarily then nothing happens. Ive checked processes and reinstalled 3 different versions of physx (including the ones from game folder) - updated gfx drivers yesterday

Been there, done that. Page 12, post #354.

Escaped!!! :-

Wee bit pointless as apparently if you stray to far away from the other side of the red barrier, the game restarts. Damn!!. Fun for a few minutes though.

Don't think I was supposed to park these here :-

Yeah, seems quite busy. Started watching it but decided I'd rather keep the surprises exactly as that when I get the game.

I assume you guys have figured out a way to beat the 10 minute timer? I have no doubt it's detailed in this thread, but I would appreciate if someone could tell me what I need to do without having to go through 17 pages.
Thanks!

Theres a hex edit you can do to stop the mission failed if your outside map boundaries - not much point tho as it just opens up another couple of roads and thats about it - most of the extra stuff is just low detail background version or missing entirely you get about 200yards out the bounds and the ground becomes no clip.
