What Does Mafia 2's Senior Producer Know about the Mafia?

Bitmob: When I first heard Denby Grace speak, one thing immediately went through my mind: "What does a British dude know about the Mafia?"

It's not that every senior producer has to be that personally and intimately familiar with his game's subject matter. After all, I'm sure the guys behind Bioshock never visited an underwater dystopia before. But it'd certainly give Mafia 2 -- due out this August for the 360, PS3, and PC -- a lot of credibility if Grace knew a thing or two about gangster culture.

So I sat down with him to hear what he has to say about certain famous movies and wiseguys (both real and fictional) -- and how they play into his game. Does the Brit know all about the family business? Fuggedaboutit...

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya468d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled468d ago (Edited 468d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney468d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled468d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist468d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin468d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled468d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE468d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi468d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE468d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
