GTA 4 and Mafia 2 Compared

I am not sure if this has been posted before. The link contains 19 comparison shot of Grand Theft Auto 4 and Mafia 2. I personally think Mafia 2 is better graphically but overall, the gameplay and story of GTA 4 will destroy it (GTA had to let go of some graphics to run the game smoothly)

 

I found some new pictures of GTA 4 in this that I havn't seen, maybe you have so please don't rip on me.

 

reply back on what you thought about it...

Mafia 2 will be better, I think... M1 Had a way better story/graphs than GTA III.

We will see, both games will rule... orly.gifcookie.gif

Mafia 2 looks wayy better (better character models, prettier environment, better lighting, etc.)

 

but GTA4 will win because it has decent graphics and unmatched gameplay icon14.gif

Mafia 2 looks marginally better, graphically, but it won't have the same level of detail or the same sense of humour, which is what makes GTA an infinitely superior game.

Signatures are dumb anyway.

Mafia's graphics are better but it isn't going to be released until next year.

Although Mafia's story and atmosphere beat GTA 3 easily, I think overall I will prefer Mafia due to the time it is set in. colgate.gif

 

story of GTA 4 will destroy it

Doubt it, the original Mafia's story was far better than GTAs.

At this point it is not fair to compare gtaIV and Mafia 2 since so little is know about mafia 2. I mean yes....it's no contest....the gfx in mafia 2 are better than gta IV...but we know little else about it.....

 

I mean the original mafia (PC version) was a great game. I was an open world that did not attempt to rip off or copy gta. Instead it carved out it's own style of gameplay.

 

 

 

and story of GTA 4 will destroy it

 

I'm not so sure about that....mafia had a storyline that was superior to all the gta games thus far.

 

....but I donno.....at the end of the day gta was more fun than mafia (even though mafia was a great game).....

 

so I am waiting to hear more about mafia 2 before I make any comparisons.

Both games will offer different experiences; each bringing its own goods to the table. I say Mafia 2 is going to be solid, but GTA IV? I mean...come on.

 

I dont even have to say what I think of IV.

Heres what I say, GTA's open worlds are more interesting, more fun to have a sandbox experience in, but if your going for story and authenticness (even a word?) Mafia does it better.

most of the pics of mafia 2 look like cut scenes to me. and the time its set in puts limitations on the variety of weapons and vehicles.

I can't believe you guys are talking about the graphics from screenshots of a game that isn't even released yet. I'm sure the game will have excellent graphics, and it also also been previewed that the graphics in single player makes you actually feel its real.

 

ost new screenshots don't have any filter because the graphics are reduced. The more cinematic ones are most likely how the graphics will be. Imagine the graphics a little bit higher with filters. It will give the perfect effect.

I cant believe you guys are comparing GTAIV to Mafia2 cry.gif

 

Whilst Mafia's graphics may be a bit better than GTA's in total IV will completely masacre any competition mafia trys to put out there.

Not a huge difference in it if you ask me. Remember those Mafia screens are taken from a PC. "Gta's lighting engine has to be seen to be believed"

Those Mafia 2 pics are promopics. There is no way that Mafia 2 looks like in those pics. If you watch GTA IV first trailer it´s promo too, you can see lot more visual in it than pics released in past few weeks. But i believe that both games have good graphics.

 

Sry bad english.

The reason the graphics and stuff were better in Mafia is because R* was just figuring stuff out and seeing what they can do with GTA III. They were testing and learning. thats why the graphics werent the greatest but i think they still were pretty good at the time and for them not having any experience with 3ds Max or 3d modeling.

Im tired of playing as the typical italian gangster its getting pld dozingoff.gif

But this gangster is no typical ..gangster. This one is based on reality, and not the romantic Hollywood portrayed mafioso. I guess.

Most of Mafia's 2 screenshots are compared to earlier builds or early screenshots of GTA4.

 

But i am impressed with Mafia 2, and i think i'll get it. I never beat the first one because it was too damn hard on the PS2. But it had a great story, great characters, a great feel to the early 1930's and great music. I'm very impressed with the city graphics and scope on Mafia 2, but don't forget that lots of graphics used in first screenshots never make it to the real game.

 

So i think i'll get both now.
