Mafia II

[HostileGamer]

I was wondering if this game maybe hasent gotten the recognition it deserves? Everything that I see on the web points to this game looking great and having alot better gameplay that GTA4, what are your guys' thoughts?

I was thinking about picking up the collectors edition of this game just for the 200 page hardbound artbook of the game, I like those types up things for the coffee table lol.

This needs another poll option for PC version, also it should be moved out of Sony Console forum to the Gamer's Hangout forum. :pinch:

[HostileGamer]

Added PC option thanks, and I think it's just fine we just need people to not be forum Nazis and participate in the thread discussion. You , I see, have nothing to contribute.

Game looks great! I was a huge fan of the first one. I love the style of play, and that narrative is great. It's like being in your own mobster movie. Too bad I will probably be way to busy with work to give it any time, but I will try. Going to pick it up on PC.

Sheesh... calm down! :rolleyes:

You have put it in the Sony Console forum, yet it is a multi-platform game and you are asking a question about which platform we may be purchasing it for.

But now it has a PC option in the poll I have something to contribute.

So I will be getting for the PC as I did with the original game. I tried the xbox version of the original but it failed pretty hard compared to the greatness of the PC game.

He was just trying to help the topic get views. Mafia II is available for various platforms, so it makes no sense for it to be in the Sony section. That was his contribution.

As for mine, I loved Mafia but it was no GTA. This looks like it's improving on all the right things. I'd rather have it underpromise and overdeliver than the reverse.

[Xero]

Been waiting for this games for ages. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Absolutely loved the original. Gotta disagree with you Ironman, not everything has to be like GTA :D I thought it was great on its own, and compared to GTA back then (pre GTA4) it was damn good.

[Tech085]

I will be getting the PC Version as well.

[HostileGamer]

So is the PC version going to have better gameplay or better graphics because I thought these games were more tailored for the console. (I played GTA4 on PC)

I know that usually the DLC will come out on console way before the PC DLC.

Mafia 2 on the 360 was the most impressive game I saw back at Pax East (They didn't have the PC or PS3 game available at the show)

[curme]

I'm surprised that so many are getting the pc version. I'm a big fan of pc gaming, but some games lend themselves to consoles better. For example, Oblivion or Fallout 3, I think, are better on the pc (especially for mods). Mafia II looks like it will be a better console game for me because of the controls. I'm looking forward to it, especially since I beat Red Dead and Mass effect 2 and need something to play. There doesn't seem to be many good games coming out until the holidays.

I think under-hype is what a game needs. Over-hype is the worst kind of hype you can get it.

And getting it for the PC.

Mafia is one of the best games I've ever played and I won't ruin my experience with the sequel by dumbed down graphics. I want the game in high resolution glory, highest graphic settings and

plenty of AA / AF all at 60FPS+ it deserves nothing less. I couldn't imagine playing this baby at the console's 30FPS.

Oh and why the hell is this in the Sony section?

I just want a sequel, I would happily trade awesome graphics for even more totally awesome and rocking game play (Y)

Don't burst a blood vessel mate, it is just a game!

And now you're getting both the graphics and awesome gameplay, so why trade anything.

Sorry, I said hell, that means I'm on the verge of exploding :( ...

Because when developers concentrate on "omg shiny", core gameplay goes out the window and gets run over by a truck carrying horse manure.

[Richard Hammond]

Not really there are plenty awesome looking games that have epic gameplay.

Also, bring it, looking forward to this i LOVED the first Mafia.

What a load of rubbish.

That happens when the developers have no passion or they are severely strained for time / money. Mafia II could have been in development for up to 8 years basically and not to mention it has

a great development team that actually cares. Just by looking at the gameplay videos, it just screams quality. Mafia looked really good, one of the best looking games at that time in fact and

that didn't suck as far as I remember?

There's no reason not to give Illusion Softworks / 2K Czech the benefit of the doubt.

[Jimmy0]

I'll probably play it on the PC.

[M4nB3arP1g]

Probably the PC but first I will wait and see some benchmarks before buying it to see if my PC can handle it.

[Kerm]

PC for me.

Whens the release date?

I loved the first one.

[HostileGamer]

I'm torn actually lol. I want a cool game like this that i can just relax on the couch and play on my new TV, but yet my PC is all hooked up and I am a graphics junkie...

[neoadorable]

will be getting the regular 360 version.

[Pupik]

PC and not just because of the mod possibilities (Who knows, maybe there will be a multilayer mod available just like with GTA: SA and Just Cause 2).
