Mafia 3

Mafia 2 had the potential to be similar masterpiece, but unfortunately to achieve it, another year of development was needed...and 2K was impatient, so they forced 2K Czech to gut the game, rip out half the content..for example whole melee combat system was gutted, the script was supposed to branch and have 4 different endings, missions were supposed to be lot longer and there was a lot of side content planned, all scrapped..

What remained in Mafia 2 was still great - the atmosphere was beautiful, the mission design was stellar. Shootouts very very well done, guns had great punch (that shotgun!), cars had, again, amazing physics (on sim setting). I loved playing it, but yeah it could have been so much more.

Aye you could tell mafia 2 was rushed the world felt pretty dead.

First one was amazing and on par with the GTA games at the time whilst having a better story
 
Last vid shown above, the game looks like its very early and very rough. The camera, the animations, the controls all look very poor so far. Visuals is the only good thing i can think of. Also a lot of what i saw looked like something i wouldnt enjoy it just looks like some random shooting game. Nothing looked solid at all.

Hate to say but im not lookin forward to it yet. Maybe when we see it more polished and tighter in the controls. Also hopefully less stuff on screen like console type hud stuff (them red things above a car) for example. Dont need that, please keep it off.
 
Did i hear them say you play as Lincoln, regular guy and your family has been killed by the mafia? So you dont actually play as a Mafioso? :/

All sounds naff to me..But I will see....

Excellent, Fallout 4 now Mafia 3. Mafia 2 was a perfect 10/10 for me. Didn't have the pleasure of playing the first one at time of release.

The first Mafia was better than the second, but I'm sure with an appropriate storyline and a more violent/crazy mission structure like GTAV they could nail it.

I think it would have to be borderline on the PEGI rating though!

He was on about the two Godfather games.

Anyhow, I personally think this looks fantastic! I like the idea of a non mafia character going through the ladder to get revenge of them, the scenery looks good I like the look of the psychics while driving.

We're see when it's released I suppose!

I hoped we'd be in the same period as II but with new characters maybe coming up again under Vito. Not sure how 'Mafia' this will feel being in the 70s.
 
Mafia 2 is probably my fav single player game of all time. in contrast I was bored of GT5 after a few hours and uninstalled. Literally throwing money at the screen.

edit: oh dear just saw some footage. Doesn't look like mafia at all. I mean disregarding the time setting it just does look like a mafia game....more saints row. Picking up my money :(
