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"

A PC? Mafia II has been announced for Xbox 360 and PS3 too...so we don't know.

I'd definitely say GTA IV looks much better than Mafia II visually. I don't like Mafia II's dreary 40's art style, and I've got a feeling it won't hold a candle to GTA in terms of scope and ambition. But I haven't played the game, so I can't say anything for sure.

I know, but it would make sense for it to be ported over to consoles. I'm betting those screens are taken from the PC version.

On Empires City main station arrives train with war veterans whose are returning from battles in Europe to let their place to new fighters against Hitler. From one the trains steps out one guy in dark green coat and with big suitcase who is about 20yo. His name is Vito and according to his past nobody is surprised that nobody is waiting for him, but with pleasire he finds out that he was wrong by one of the shops he is found by one of his old friends - Joe. Vito is really surprised, because he let no one know that he is arrivingm but Joe tells him that he has his own sources and invite Vito for a city ride in suspiciously new and expensive looking car . . .

We shouldn't be comparing, they're both great games. I will enjoy both. I dont see these two games

as a threat to one another, they're different. Saints row however can be compared.

And this doesn't look cartoonish? Mafia 2 will do much better graphic wise and story wise, but GTA is more open.

People seem to forget that PC will most likely always have the graphical edge over a console, simply because the Gfx technology is always improving (both consoles are using GPUs that are now 2 generations behind technically), and unless something changes in the way consoles are handled in the future, we wont be able to consistently update our graphics in a console like we can in a PC. That being said, yes, Mafia 2's graphics do look more detailed, but the city will probably be smaller and have less going on (consider the time period here).

 

And I just find it so funny that people bring up the competition between GTAIV and Mafia 2, considering that Mafia wont be out until next year, both are being published by the same company, the time periods are drastically different, and one game is in its unpteenth iteration while the other is putting out its sophmore album so to speak.

I don't seriously see what "competition" this game has. It's like comparing Splinter Cell to MGS. You don't choose one over another. They're rather different, and both are awesome.

 

Mafia's what you get when you create a realistic GTA, and it's a nice break from the regular GTA formula now and then. I'll definitely be getting both. Mafia is definitely a best game for me (it's hard to really tell which of the better games are better, so yeah, I just say that GTA, Mafia, Half-Life, etc. are the best).

is mafia 2 using euphoria? i hope so or else it will suck. But these are two totally different games and anyone who loves GTA will probably love Mafia2...although the cars arent as fast

Vlad.. you just.. quoted the translation.

 

EDIT: Nevermind.

I think you figured it out, but I was referring to the other magazine articles in that post that were not translated.
