CVG: Massive Mafia 2 preview

Preview: Steve Hogarty opens a violin case to find the sequel to the PC's finest free-roaming shooter

Faced with one of 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?

that level was not that hard. It was challenging but not "impossible" to finish.

kosha6581d ago

Hopefully the cars are gonna be alot better on this version

BeaArthur6581d ago

kosha...if there was anything I hated about the original it was definitely driving around. The cars handled so poorly and accelerated so slowly. They may have been historically accurate (I don't know, I wasn't there) but they were a hassle.

kosha6581d ago

The cars were just plain awful and they would been the first thing i would changed if i was doing the sequel.

kosha6581d ago

I aggree this is probally gonna be gta4's first real opposition in the sandbox genre.

"SMALL CONCERNS
There are some things to worry over. The reticule system has an assisted-aiming feature designed for controllers, leading your shots towards enemies in a way that's unnatural - 2K would do well to let PC gamers turn it off. That isn't to say Mafia II will be a console-led title, as everything else at the presentation suggested heavily that the PC version will, yet again, be the definitive one."

Nice . heal regeneration - source GameStar -. and autoaim in the PC version ...

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya1201d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled1200d ago (Edited 1200d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney1200d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled1200d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist1200d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin1201d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled1200d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE1200d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi1200d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE1200d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
