Mafia II's PS3-Exclusive Vendetta Detailed

GI: One of the interesting news bits at Sony's E3 press conference was the announcement that 2K Games' Mafia II was getting exclusive content. Can you get a 100 headshots?

The trophy list for the DLC called Jimmy's Vendetta paints a quick portrait of what the DLC is about, and it's what you'd expect from Mafia II: There's a guy named Jimmy involved, and there's plenty of killing and driving.

PS3's exclusive Mafia II DLC comes out the day the game is released, which is currently scheduled for August 24.

What's this? PS3 Exclusive Content? Quick, add it to the list of reasons why PS3 is better than 360!

/sarcasm

lol, jokes. I own both consoles, love em equally, like i would my own children if they were more fun to play with.

[ClownBelt]

PS3 owners don't roll that way. Couldn't say the same about the other console fanboys though.

[PoSTedUP]

"love em equally" dude what are you from the partridge family or something? do be such a square, be cool and pick a side you wimp! you people make me sick.. jk : P

[I_find_it_funny]

^^ hehehe

[vsr]

I feel sorry for the poor uneducated/brainwashed people, who are willing to pay $60 for a "DVD"

[Darkstorn]

@Quagmire-
This exclusive Mafia II content is a feature worth mentioning. It also happens that it is only available on the PS3.

[writersblock]

Has fun with the USB ports on both

[hybridtheory12]

Yes. I will be getting this version. Same for AC brotherhood... Id say Dead Space and Medal of Honor as well but I dont have THAT much money. Its about time ps3 had the better multiplat game

[Darkstorn]

It's good to see the PS3's power taken advantage of in the multiplatform arena. It was disheartening to see multiplatform games look almost identical between consoles, especially when devs can exploit the PS3's power to deliver a superior experience to that of the 360.

[Mr Exclusive]

(PC version for me lol)

[John Kratos]

Looks like I'm getting it for ps3 then.

[bjornbear]

for me. not like I have a choice. Sucks a$$ =( wish i could get the version without DLC. I hate extra stuff.

[karl]

= everything that didnt fit in a dvd

[TwistedMetal]

dead space 2
Medal of honor
Mafia 2
red dead redemption
assasins creed brotherhood
toy story 3
Portal 2 with steam
BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!
I dont want to ever here anything about some multiplat x360 bs ever again from you x360 fanboys. You freaking loose.

The list will only get bigger baby

Im looking forward to batman arkuhm asylum 2 exclusive ps3 conntent that most likely is in the works.

so better multiplats, free online, the best most variey AAA exclusive gotys, blueray better hardware etc. You aint a gamer if you dont have a ps3. Its fact at this point.

ps the harder you troll and fight it the more stupid I and the ps3 will make you look. Which yo broke ars.

[leila01]

I guess paying for DLC is not such problem now that Lord Sony is doing it.

[Mr Exclusive]

er no. It's quite obvious this didn't fit on the DVD. We will soon find out when the .iso is 6.8gig

[HolyOrangeCows]

PAYING for DLC? You have some insider info, buddy?

[raztad]

I doubt exclusive content comes down to a simple paycheck nowadays. Both fanbases are way to big and the money to be spent would be too big, especially for Sony.

Sony surely is getting deals in some other way.

@bellow

I dont have problems with Sony investing its money in the way they wish however:

1) Why Sony would pay for exclusive content? Sony has a lot of first party games. DLC doesnt sell consoles. Exclusive games do.

2) To pay for so many exclusive content doesnt suit Sony plans to put the PS3 business in solid profit.

That said, it was Ms who invented the exclusive DLC stuff.

[ukilnme]

Don't kid yourself. Sony is paying for it the same way MS did.

@ ^^^

I don't have a problem with Sony paying for it either.

1) It's just one more reason to get gamers to buy games for the PS3 instead of the 360.

2) Gotta spend money to make money.

[raztad]

Lets make a fast calculation

I think $10 (or less) is the amount the platform holder receives per game sold.
If Mafia 2 sells 2m on PS3 it would be $20m max.

Unless Sony paid a few millions for Mafia 2 extra content, they wont be getting much money out of that transaction. Dont see MS not offering a better deal. Sony just cant win a race money against MS. It has to be something else than just paying. Sharing interests? perhaps 2K wants to make a movie.

Well I guess we are just speculating until someone confirms anything. For example, how much Sony paid. dont you think?

[AK46]

M$ pays for timed exclusives

Sony's pays for exclusive content and is also free of charge for us lucky PS3 owners.

[UltimateIdiot911]

Also, if it is indeed a DLC, remember that Microsoft does not welcome free DLC.

So I don't see why publisher/dev should hold back on PS3 owners if they have stuff they want to give out for free.

[inception123]

let me guess you think sony payed to have steam put on the ps3 version of portal 2 don't you? it couldn't be that the ps3 is just a better platform for it kinda like it is the better platform for games to have lots of content without charging devs for the extra disc. get over it the ps3 gets extra content because devs don't have to coompromise to add it the game. just look at the 360 games that got extra content it was all dlc which was added later because it wasn't accually planed on being in the game.

[ipe]

this dlc is free for ps3 owners. Check again sony e3.

[N4OGs]

this will add some more hours onto the game for me as well as some more trophies :). The crazy thing is sony still has all the awesome exclusive games still comeing out and being made.

[earbus]

Will still get 360 version dlc timed or not gt5 is my sole ps3 buy in the last half of the year mag is the only other game i got for ps3 this year.

[Spenok]

Hmm, exclusive content for a game i wont be playing. For me meh, for others (who are getting PS3 version) Win lol.
