First Mafia 2 preview

Main points:

1) There will be two main characters (Vito and Joe). Vito will be the only playable one but Joe is supposed to be important as well.

2) There will be no story connection between Mafia 1 and 2.

3) There will be extensive car damage. Says better then Burnout Paradise. It will have exploding fuel tanks.

4) You will visit the gas station for gas and to wash your car so it becomes shinny.

5) Money will be very important. New clothes will help if someone is after you. Food will make you stronger like in GTA San Andreas.

6) Cover system like in Gears of War.

7) Setting will be Empire City. Twice as big as City of Lost Heaven. It will resemble San Francisco

8) The lead platforms will be Ps3 and Xbox 360. Pc version may be few weeks or months later. But this may change.

9) Release date Spring/ Summer 2009.

10) The story starts before the end of WWII.

I really liked the first game. I hope it delivers.

BeaArthur5862d ago

I just want the cars to handle better. I understand it's trying to be historically accurate but anytime I had to drive somewhere I was pissed off before I even got in the car. Although, it was a great game and I can't wait for the sequel.

yesah5862d ago

jkhan5862d ago

I am looking forward to this game since I saw the e3 trailer.

RenegadeRocks5862d ago

This is what we are waiting for, not GTA.This is more mature audience who like Godfather, not kids who like rappers as in GTA.

bumnut5862d ago

the 1st one was great because you had to obey traffic laws, if you went through a red light the police would chase you.

you could then choose to pull over and pay the fine or try to get away.

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

Yui_Suzumiya454d ago

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

SonyStyled454d ago (Edited 454d ago )

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

jasonismoney454d ago

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

SonyStyled454d 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

cthulhucultist453d 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

Fist4achin454d ago

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

SonyStyled454d 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

JEECE454d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi454d ago

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

JEECE454d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
