Brad Shoemaker: "Open-world crime dramas are everywhere these days, so to stand out in the crowd, 2K Games and its development house in the Czech Republic are focusing Mafia II on an intimate degree of realism. That focus extends from the authenticity of the dialogue and behavior of the wiseguys who star in the story, to the intricate layouts of the interior locations you'll enter from the game's larger, urban open world. Based on a brief hands-off demo I saw, 2K Czech isn't reinventing the wheel with Mafia II's third-person action, but if the game world is realized well enough and the story is suitably engaging, a little by-the-numbers shooting won't be a big issue.
After the demo, we had a chance to sit down and chat with the game's producer, Denby Grace. Check out his thoughts and a bunch of gameplay footage in this video."
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@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
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
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
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
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.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Originally released back in 2010 for last-gen (PS3, Xbox 360) consoles, 2K Games has re-released Mafia 2 as part of the Mafia Trilogy, and has called it the “Definitive Edition.” Now, the question is, does this mafia go for the kill, or does it run out of bullets? Read on for our Mafia 2 Definitive Edition review.
