Will Mafia 3 be at Gamescom?

OnlySP: 2K Games has announced it’s lineup of titles that will be shown off at their booth during Gamescom next week and will be showing a “surprise” that will more than likely be a behind-closed-doors showing of an unannounced game. What that game is we can only guess, but I’m placing my bets on it being Mafia 3.

porkChop4660d ago

I'd highly doubt it. Take-Two wouldn't show off Mafia 3 while they're still hyping GTA V for release. Mafia 3 is probably going to be a next gen title, and it's unlikely it'll be released this year or even next year.

elhebbo164660d ago

yea but its not like its gonna be released right after GTA V... a little teaser wouldn't hurt.

DeadlyFire4660d ago

I think they will save Mafia 3 for TGS/GDC/E3 time. There is strong evidence of Red Dead 3. So I wouldn't count out the western title showing up.

elhebbo164660d ago

Im sure read dead 3 will be announce at some point I still think its waaaay to early.

I sure hope so! Not to be a stereotypical italian new yorker, but I love my mafia games/films.

MiasmaDodo4660d ago

I loved Mafia 2. Absolutely blew me away.

Mafia 3 would be a welcome announcement. Mafia 2 destroyed LA Noire in doing an "old school" open world.

OhMyGandhi4660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

I was equally blown away by Mafia 2, what a damned fun, and engaging title.
I'll never forget playing Mafia 2 right around the time of L.A. Noire and thinking that Mafia 2 just felt more -Alive- then the other game. Great soundtrack as well, got me into the oldies.

Voice acting was also top-notch, and characters felt incredibly real, and most importantly: believable.

If anyone in this thread hasn't played it already, pick it up now.

SillyYou4660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

It was good as a story linear game, but sucks as a openworld game. It was so boring. Nothing to do in it.

Ausbo4660d ago

i agree. mafia 2 was sick. Although i really like LA noire, i thought mafia was a little better.

I really want mafia 3 as i really love these mobster games

BattleAxe4660d ago

Mafia 2 was a super boring game, so I'd rather see Rockstar make GTA 1944 or something. LA Noire looked boring also.

roadkillers4660d ago (Edited 4660d ago )

LA Noire had its moments of greatness. Loved the chase sections in the game, on foot and in vehicle. To bad the game was too repetitive to keep anyone from beating it.

More people should be making a trip to this bayou.

Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.

I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)

InklingGirl1403d ago

I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.

"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"

Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.

The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.

I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.

LucasRuinedChildhood1403d ago (Edited 1403d ago )

*said "Imagine if ..."

Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...

Terry_B1404d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius1404d ago (Edited 1404d ago )

I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂

XbladeTeddy1403d ago

It was repetitive and boring. Not a good game at all.

Yi-Long1404d ago

The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.

XbladeTeddy1403d ago

They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.

MadLad1403d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure1403d ago

People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.

MadLad1401d ago

I respectfully disagree.

GTA V, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption 2 VR mods are dead – and Take 2 Interactive killed them

From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.

This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."

Orbilator1406d ago

Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.

Duke191406d ago

I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.

If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often

KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
