The tone of the game will be gritty and dark compared to the original. A lot of work has gone into producing a quality realisation of the era, not the idealised version that the team went for in the first game.
Hopefully there won't be anything like the ludicrous difficult race from the first game. We assume 2K Czech has learned that lesson and will be slightly more forgiving if any racing needs to be done.
If You Missed our world exclusive first look at Mafia II last issue, then shame on your family - a horse's head is winging its way to you by registered post right now. The sequel to Mafia is being developed by the game's original designers from Illusion Softworks now 2K Czech , and is looking every bit the Tommy Gun-sprayed crime action-adventure.
Set in the '50s, in a fictional USA city modelled on New York, Mafia II sees you playing a new character called Vito who is dragged into a violent war between two rival families after being released from prison.
Peppered throughout with references to gangster movies, Mafia II looks to continue the reputation for well-written snappy dialogue, great voice acting and free-roaming gameplay built on a solid storyline and entertaining missions. However, it's the living, breathing urban environment that will be the game's true star, and one that causes the most development headaches - especially with 'stiffness', according to the game's lead artist, Roman Hladik: "A city truly is a living, breathing organism.
Cars have to drive around, ships have to sail on the river, people have to walk and perform their daily routines, birds have to fly in the sky. The environment itself has to live with grass and trees moving in the wind, swirling trash on the pavement, sewers steaming Any 'stiffness' in the computer-generated art creates an unnatural feeling. Mafia irs city feels alive, with thousands of different NPCs carrying on with daily routines, stopping to chat, doing the shopping, buying a hot dog, using a phone booth - and if you look up at the buildings at night you'll see the lights in rooms being turned on and off as people live their virtual lives.
The NPCs are also separated into various groups, such as rich and poor, so that you will not see an expensively dressed guy picking through the garbage. Clumsy bums aren't the only hazard when creating a city. In terms of pathfinding, the cars in the game are actually choosing their way randomly, although some specific vehicles are being pulled out of their normal random routines for specific tasks, like a taxi cab pausing by the walkway for a customer or a delivery truck stopping by a shop to allow workers to unload its cargo.
Mafia was unfairly but inevitably compared to Grand Theft Auto on its release - on the surface it appears to be a sandbox game, but is in fact more of a linear, story-driven experience in numerous locations that happen to be in a freeform city. Instead we're trying to concentrate on delivering maximum quality on every single aspect our game.
Which does not mean to say that the city is boring or that there will not be enough things to do. We've actually added a lot more side quests, events and locations, so if you want to go nuts, you definitely can. Vavra believes that a balance of complete player freedom and narrative direction is the future for games such as Mafia II. We're trying to be somewhere in the middle. Enough freedom and replay value, but with a very strong movie experience in all the right places.
Mafia II is due out early next year - we'll wear concrete boots and matching overcoats if 2K Czech fail to deliver a sophisticated Cosa Nostra classic set in a living city.. Faced With One the developers of the original Mafia , there's only one question any fan really wants to ask.
So I asked it. Why was that bloody racing mission so stupidly difficult? Filter reviews by the user's playtime when the review was written:. No minimum to No maximum. Off-topic Review Activity.

Vito had a choice: either prison or war. Returning, Joe makes sure that Vito does not go to the front again, and then sends him to his family, promising to "arrange a heavenly life for him. The only drawback of Mafia 2 is the linear plot, which we cannot influence in any way, however, the players do not complain about this, because the real deep story about the mafia is not told so often, but to find out what is happening in the largest crime syndicates, taking in the affairs of "families »First participation, you can simply start the game.
