Competition - GET YA MAPS OUT!

Posted by Dugahole @ 7:07pm EDT on Sunday 15th June 2008[26 Comment(s)]

Who wants to win big bank notes on mafiascene? You do!? YAY!

The staff are running a new competition with the help of the family member group. What you guys have to do (if you want) is design a map for mafia 2, it can be in the style of the original map or something new and revolutionary. It must however include the following:

Map must include all important details, including:

Roads - Obviously don't name all roads but name some of the main ones.
Buildings (only ones you envisage as important).
Public-transport & routes (Trams/Elway/subway/bus/ferry).
Bridges & tunnels.
Important locations (airports, harbours, stripclubs etc).
Neighbourhood/suburbs/district names.
Maps should be no larger than 2000x2000 pixels, that should be large enough for everyone.
Colour would be good, but black and white will suffice.

Maps can be designed using computer applications or you can draw the map and scan it. If there is another way to design a map I am yet to see it... But if you can think of one and think it will help you win, go for it.

PRIZES!

First prize - 2000BN's and a special item
Second prize - 750BN's
Third prize - 250BN's

SEND ALL ENTRIES TO mscompo@gmail.com - Or you can PM them to Chip, Muggy or Myself.

The competition will run for 2 weeks from today, we will not accept any entries after 12:00PM GMT, Monday 30th June. We will then put the Family Members to work where they will vote on the best map!

Have fun, and may the best map win!

See what I did there? Clever...

Anyway the staff today are today going to give a bit of an update on what has been happening lately. We have been lucky enough to receive a few new Mafia 2 screenshots lately, they are all visible in the photo gallery

Mafia 2 Photo Gallery

The Staff and Family Members are working like crazed badgers on a secret site update that will shock and amaze everyone, in our spare time we are getting ready to start up a new competition which should be beginning in about 2 weeks. Get excited.

Also today we are letting you know about a great 3D chat room that starvanger has been working on for months. It is a great place to run around and have some fun, check it out at Downtown Chatroom

Finally the staff want everyone to know what a great time we are going through as a community. Some people have been complaining recently about the lack of news and we would like to say to everyone to keep an open mind and be happy. Think about this - 1 year ago some people were saying the site was dead, mafia 2 was never going to happen and that we were wasting our time here. Now look what is happening, we are getting a sequel, new members are joining the site every day and we believe the site is going from strength to strength. Take 2 minutes every now and then to sit back and think how good things are for us right now.

Posted by el_chippo @ 7:29am EDT on Saturday 5th April 2008[11 Comment(s)]

First a quick note for those that do not know: The gallery is not currently accepting picture uploads. We're working on it, but it may take a while. You can still view and comment on existing pictures however, so all is not lost.

Now, on to the exciting stuff! The official Mafia II site was updated recently, and now has some pretty damn cool features including a couple of exclusive screenshots! There's also a 'community' section which will hopefully be regularely updated with news of our favourite game! It's all very promising, so head on over to the official site right now and check it out! Then, once you're done, come and talk about it in this topic! Enjoy the updates and have a great weekend guys Big Grin

UPDATE by TM:
The official site has added a couple of new screenshots that showcase the environment and the setting of the era the game is set in. They look great and keeps us hungry for more. Be sure to sheck them out ASAP.

UPDATE by Riddian:
The gallery is now working but take it easy, it's still being nursed back to health Cheeky

Posted by Dugahole @ 7:31pm EDT on Saturday 29th March 2008[1 Comment(s)]

Continuing the recent trend of good news the staff along with the 60's mod team are proud to bring an improved version to mafiascene for you all to try!

You can download the mod from the downloads section (Just click download and you will be redirected to Filefront where you can download it for free).

The new version will improve on many features from the original release, some of which include:

"There are many new cars. Also ramps and catapults with different speed in Freeride Daytime. There are gangs that open fire at you at each place you start the Freeride Daytime so you have to battle your way through to start the game;and four detective cars that chase you through town. You can perform acrobatics when jumping from catapults -jumping from a moving vehicle etc. Can change Tommy skins in game at Yellow Pete's and use the toilet there."

If you are having any problems or want to discuss the mod you can do it in the forums by clicking this link

We passed 80,000 members a while back, and I never noticed! Chip=fail Sad

On the bright side, no other admin noticed, or if they did, they decided not to make it news, so overall, Chip=win! Big Grin

Hurrah!
We also just went past 180,000 posts on the forum which can't be bad, although even I can't claim to be responsible for that. No, that's down to all you loyal forum folk, so feel proud of yourselves, and keep up the good work guys! To help you out, here are a few of the more interesting topics we've had recently:
Mafia II Confirmed for Take 2's 2009 Fiscal Year!
Is there a new Mafia II Trailer Coming?
Don Nero is back! Yay! (Lock up your daughters, he's now single too!)
Those are just the tip of the iceburg though, so be sure to drop by the forums and have a look for yourselves. If you havn't visited the forums before, now is the perfect time! Drop by the Introductions Forum and say hi, then get involved!

New Mafia 2 Screenshot!

Posted by True_Mafioso @ 7:05am EST on Thursday 6th March 2008[22 Comment(s)]

Just recently the gaming magazine EGM released some information about Mafia II and included in that was a new screenshot.

It looks like the is the start of the roll out of new information from 2K Czech about Mafia II and there can only be more news to come from here on out.

If you would like to discuss this image and the magazine article, visit this topic.

Edit by Chip: Gamepsot have released another 4 screens, plus a higher resolution version of the one we've already seen! Click on the thumbnails below for the full size pics!

Mafia 2 Mods is Open

Posted by True_Mafioso @ 4:45am EST on Tuesday 26th February 2008[4 Comment(s)]

This news comes not long after Mafia Mods closes down. YJ (a.k.a Anubis_the_Jackal), was a former owner and admin of Mafia Mods before stepping down. He has now opened a site dedicated to Mafia 2 mods, mod creators, mod testers, mod ideas, mod everything.

He has this to say about his new site:

"It has come! Mafia2Mods has opened and is eagerly awaiting Mafia 1 Modders, and Mafia 2 speculators. More so the Mafia: City of Lost Heaven crowd is being catered to.

A site for the Modder, to help him/her take care of their files
A site for the Modder, to lead their developments
A site for the Modder, to bring their mods to the people
A site for the Modder, to keep track of their versions
A site for the Modder, dedicated to a community of modification for this game and the next
A site for the Modder, for without the modder there is no community based around the game."

Source: YJ's Press Release.

You can visit M2M now at Mafia 2 Mods.

We at MafiaScene wish YJ good luck with his new website and it is nice to see another fansite come up to try and fill the gap now that MM left.

Mafia Scene 2

Posted by Riddian @ 10:39am EST on Saturday 23rd February 2008[22 Comment(s)]

It's been a while since I made my last news post here but rest assured this post is worthy of such a comeback. There has been a stirring at MS HQ. Mice are clicking and keyboards are tapping, the faint sound of a CPU fan hums happily as the work is underway. What work is this I hear you cry? Well, as you know Mafia 2 is just around the corner and before we know it it'll be time to install it on our computers. It's for this reason that work has begun. Mafia Scene is changing...

The introduction of Mafia 2 will also bring about the change that is being coined "Mafia Scene 2". At this point in time I have been told not to reveal too much about what this change involves but I have managed to get for you a sneaky peak at the construction of what could possibly be the face of Mafia Scene 2 Wink

The work will continue to go on behind closed doors, but updates shall be brought to you as and when they are ready. When with MS2 be ready? Sorry my lips are sealed though perhaps a chosen few will get picked to become beta testers? Who knows Cheeky
