GameBlurb: Mafia 2 Preview

GameBlurb writes, "I'd never paid much attention to Mafia when it was first released, in spite of the positive buzz. I thought it was too similar to Grand Theft Auto III. It’s been nearly 8 years since then. Let’s see if the demo for the sequel will do anything to change my mind."

I just hope that they get the PS3 version all situated before launch. They should have never released the demo in that condition. We all know the PS3 is capable of so much more.

The demo port of Mafia 2 was crap. Gonna probably pick it up on the PC if they can't get it fixed by launch. Quality control Sony!

evildeli5037d ago

I didn't think the first Mafia game was all that good.

r1sh125037d ago

I played the first 1 on the PC.
I tried the demo out yesterday and its no where near as good as the first one.
I played it for 15 mins and gave up.
The graphics suck, the game engine is pretty terrible.
Its not as good as the 1st one.

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

Yui_Suzumiya487d ago

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

SonyStyled487d ago (Edited 487d ago )

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

jasonismoney487d ago

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

SonyStyled486d 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

cthulhucultist486d 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

Fist4achin487d ago

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

SonyStyled487d 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

JEECE487d 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.

iNcRiMiNaTi486d ago

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

JEECE486d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
