Mafia III

[greenrock]

so if its 4 main protagonists

 

damm

[otachi]

 

Guys who ever in these picture,they will be the main characters of the story so don't hype for vito or anything like that

 

But vito will still appear,the voice actor have teased for the game himself lots of times,and vito will be old guy,he can't be a protagonist.

Hopefully the police will more have work in Mafia III than Mafia II, the police in mafia II was good but lazy with the uniform and models of the offices, thee were only three faces if I remember correctly in mafia II for the police.

 

Let's hope there are more uniform variety and more variety of police officer models and faces.

 

Regards,

 

Mr. Krabs

1 face actually.

You serious? that's just lazy programming, more faces for the gangsters and mobsters but not police offices? Lazy.

 

Lazy programming or what??

 

Mafia 2 fanboys still consider it one of the best games of all time,despite all it's major problems it's still great game,some guys will say "that's my opinion dude",well your opinion is wrong,the only thing that actually stand out from mafia 2 was the story,and even the story was so short with plotholes in it and wasn't epic.

 

Look how many people wants mafia 3 to be like mafia 2,as if it was great,completely ignoring other big games like gta and rdr and the first mafia game,if the company actually try to listen to those people then mafia 3 will be like mafia 2,will not sell well and will not last long at all,and still consider one of the best by some blind folks.

Actually f*cking stoked for this, holy sh*t. Just found out about this today! Can't wait to see the next generation Mafia game!

[ARC8_1982]

Is there a need for another Mafia game ? Only if it's a good game, my concern is new studio, as we don't know what to expect Quality first, quantity later, after all is better to have one gem than hundred turds (games) right ?

Well.......yes. Mafia 2 was really good. Mafia 3 can expand the franchise if it's done right. And new studio doesn't mean it will be bad, if anything, the potential is higher because they could turn out to have quality writers who will give us a damn good story and talented devs to give us the gameplay we want.

I think there is a need for the Mafia series with the way GTA is headed this could be a good way for Take Two to keep those who are interested in a more serious game and it helps between the long waits for the next GTA game.

Well there really is a lack of mafia-esque games (not the series). GTA has taken a different route, Saints Row...well.... and there really isn't anything else. I just hope it's a fully fledged experience.

How do you know they will put everything they got into it???

And we still don't know much about the game except the information we got from the picture,wow the hype train started really early,and the respect is very big despite the last mafia game wasn't great at all,it didn't last,and the new developer is not known at all.

Great to see this will also be the first project of the newly-formed game studio,Hangar 13 in conjuctuion with 2K Czech (even though the latter now have to make new IPs,and help co-develop other 2K Games' existing franchises like Bioshock and Borderland with 2K Marin).All in All Great Time for Parent Company,Take-Two Interactive (and then there is $1.3 billion in Cash-for crazy acquisitions,and it most powerful publishing label,Rockstar Games and it Studios).

lol why wouldn't they put everything they got into it? Its their first launch, they want to make a good impression, for the fans, for take2 etc. it would be dumb as sh*t for a new studio on their first launch too go half assed. Specially in this day in age where you are easily replaceable.

[KyojinEM]

Dont get your hopes up

Mafia II was pretty mediocore and the director guy ( Haden Blackmann ) behind Hanger 13/ Mafia III is the same guy behind Star Wars Unleashed 2

Multiple protagonist will be bad too, even Rockstar North failed with that concept imo

however i like the 70s Miami / Louisiana setting and a female protagonist would be sick

Can you show me how many developers made a game which was a great game from the first time???

Indeed mafia 2 was mediocore,i don't see why everybody calling it a great game,and goddamn the writer of star wars unleashed 2 is the writer of mafia 3!

But i don't think multiple protagonists will make anything bad,we all hyped for multiple protagonists before v was released,and the only problem with V it was horribly short,i mean a story like V can't be made with one protagonist (you know that)

 

But goddamn you just mentioned some things that look bad,then you say a female protagonist will be sick for a MAFIA GAME??are you on crack?

But most of what you have said is right,i just hate how many people want mafia 3 take the same direction of mafia 2 which was a total disappointment (you weren't even considered from the mafia family,you were just a hired gun all the game)

Hangar 13 also consist of staffs that have worked on SC:Blacklist,Dead Space 2 and the cancelled Star Wars 1313 Game.Heck even the Art Director was involve with the original Getaway Game,and help develop cutting-edge technology for ILM (Hence that Sweet Graphics in the Revealed Poster)...What a fantastic portfolio,and to think this studio is under the same roof as Rockstar Games and it Studios is just Amazing!

Let's just hope they would make this game actually great,there is far more talented developers that lost their touches.

[gooeyhole]

2K Czech did a very good job with Mafia II if the cancelled stuff actually made it. Where did they go? Why can't they...get the old crew back together, so to speak?

[Chloroform]

Mafia 2 was such an amazing game. I hope mafia 3 has a remember able opening like mafia 2. Every time I hear "let it snow" I think of mafia 2.

I hope the open world will be useless and dull,and the game be short with plotholes in it,and nothing to do in it,and nothing like mafia 1,that's how an amazing game should be.

Uh okay? So you're not a fan of the second one, you're entitled to your own opinion. Lots of people love the second one, it was a great game. Sorry you didn't like it BUT I'm entitled to my own opinion. Mafia 2 is/was/and always will be a better story then gta5, and that says alot.

[Osho]

Mafia 2 is/was/and always will be OVERRATED!

Mafia 3 should be completely different than M2, and take the classic Mafia 1 as the basis to make a much better game.

[iNero]

MAFIA 2 had its flaws but for its still one of the best open world games.

The atmosphere is great and the shooting mechanics too which isnt common in the open world genre.

Shooting in MAFIA 2 feels statisfying which isnt the case in games like Just Cause, Saints Row or even GTA. At least imo.

If they would use MAFIA 2 as the basis for 3 and adress the flaws and expand the game in general (proper open world with lots of things to do) it could turn out to be amazing.

[Osho]

Mafia 2 had a great atmospheric feel to it.

But as far as shooting goes, Mafia 1 was just outstanding and felt quite authentic in comparison to the popamole shooting by staying glued to a wall than freely run from cover to cover, as in Mafia 1 and be a man to face against the shotgun wielding enemies, focusing on their reload timings to shoot him.

Basically, as a Mafia 1 player I found M2 combat crap. Why should it be compared to Saints row, or any other game when Mafia 1 does it better than both?

I just want them to return to that classic, authentic style of the combat and further improve it w/o dumbing it down for AAA audience.

Health regen in a game where period realism matters simply disgusts me and breaks the immersion.

But what i have said is true,and the story of mafia 2 like gta v and even worst it was horribly short compared to other games with some plotholes in it (as far as i remember),and you weren't even considered from the mob you,were a hired gun all time in the game. (except near the ending i guess)

 

And i'm a fan of mafia 2 since it was released,i have always defended that game back then,i still like the story despite it's flaws,but i wouldn't say "EPIC",i love the soundtruck and atmosphere,i liked the shooting despite it gets boring after a while,i liked exploring the open world despite being too restricted and the interiors were the same (so as the people walk in the street),i also liked the cop system despite it gets annoying after a while,but i still had good chases and shootouts.

 

I have been always defender of this game of people calling it trash game,but whats confusing me That all people have thought it was a trash game But now a great game,one of the best games ever made,Epic story,i mean what happened??? can we just call it a 7 or 7.5 games as it deserves?? it's either 0-5 out of ten Or 10-9.5 out of 10.seriously??

imply disgusts me and breaks t

I don't agree on everything (like health regen,it's in every game now mate,you have to deal with it)

 

But you made some good points,but mafia 2 wasn't overrated,it was underrated back then,but now and from now on it's overrated and it will ruin the series if mafia 3 followed it's formula,those people don't wanna realize anything.

You are right in someways, but at this point you're asking for someone to bring the moon down for you.

 

I am 100% sure that a cover system, health regeneration, and everything you didn't like about Mafia 2 will be present in Mafia 3. And despite Mafia 1 having more difficult and challenging combat, I can't see how it's better.

 

Don't think that at it's time Mafia 1 had superb shooting. It was done well. But back in 2002, most games had that kind of shooting (no cover, no health regen etc.). It's just the way gaming evolves. We're in 2015, not 2002. I wouldn't call myself a fan of the cover-based shooters of today, but it's just the way things flow. Some games do the cover-based shooting well, others don't. And you can't possibly believe Mafia 1's shooting was more authentic. The reloading was more realistic, but in every other aspect Mafia 2 was better. Especially the way you described Mafia 1's shooting is the opposite of realistic.

 

In the end, if it's fun and it's done right, I don't care what kind of shooting mechanics the game will have.

The thing is opinions are different. You feel like it was a 7 or 7.5, I feel like it was an 8.5 that doesn't mean I'm right and you're wrong, that just my opinion. Gta5 (to me) is an over hyped game, the story sucks ass. The best GTA story (to me) was the lost and dammed. That should have been the main story and Tlad should have been the main.

 

Now does that mean anything? No, just my opinion. There are lots of things I loved about mafia 2 and I can't honestly remember a time where I said "man I hate this or that". It was a great game to me and lots of people.

Yeah but there some things you can't deny about mafia 2,just to let you know mafia 2 was also hyped and had trailers since years before the release,and i didn't say the story sucked in mafia,like V it was horribly short but for no reason at all and you weren't exactly considered from the mob,that was disappointing,but still a GOOD STORY,a Good game.

In Mafia 1

-- The enemies didn't just stick to cover but tried to run from one point to another when possible to nail you down by getting closer for taking shots at you giving a much added tension to the shootouts, esp. when you see someone holding a Tommy gun or shotgun literally makes you want to count every bullet you shoot and without any sh*tty health regen system.

-- Each time Tommy takes a hit it slows him down in pain. If this isn't realistic then I don't know what is.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed Mafia 1 combat and equally believable opponents.
