Title says all, but this time it ain't from some low-rent clickbait site:

I hope that the game will be as good as the previous parts and will have the same great gameplay as Mafia 2.

If this is 70s, I think, it could be very interesting.


To be honest, this report leaves me puzzled. Because I know that the game was developed by very different people in HamburgerTown somewhere in America.




Just let's not another GTA, please...

[lightingft]

Yes. YES. YEEEEEEEEES.

YEEEEES!! Great to know the wait won't be as long this time around..

Is that a woman?

[Mr Robville]

Hell flippin fokkin yeah!

Just like I hoped it would be: set in the 70's.
If it's back in Lost Heaven I will poop my pants.

Interesting to see a female character on the artwork. It would be cool to see a female protagonist introduced. No one has ever really done that before in games like these.


Something new to look forward to

This is indeed an awsome bit of news....i pretty much cheered as i read it on facebook It does look like the 70s this time and thats pretty much something i expected. Mafia 1 was the 30s, mafia 2 was mostly 50s. I would expect this new game to be like the previous installations, in sense that the story evolves through the years...like starting from the 60s and going through the 70s. The cars look like late 60s and early 70s ones.

Do you see the aligator on that picture?
Maybe Mafia will be in Miami, because Miami is swampy city with aligators.

05/08/2015 Definitely a date for our diaries.
most welcome news. Hope there is free
streaming at Gamescom.

On another note, I know some like myself
may be still disappointed that Daniel Vavra
is not working on Mafia 3, but that said I think
we should see how the game looks first. Hopefully
it will not be the shambles (although some of it was
OK) that Mafia 2 was.

Although the amount of cutting they did in M2 was unacceptable, I did enjoy the game and it's story. Also loved the game engine they used. Mafia 1 set the bar really high which is probably why so many people didn't like M2.
I only hope they would dive into the story/drama a little deeper in M3 as I found that M2 was a bit shallow. Mafia 1 nailed that perfectly.

Also the time each character had on the screen was a good amount before they would take him out.
In M2 the duration usually only spanned over a couple missions before a character would be killed off already. The emotional impact is therefore a lot less if you compare this to Paulie or Sam- who have been there through the whole game.

The first Mafia did leave quite an impact in spite of its flaws and the rather oddball Freeride Extreme game mode. I think I shed a tear or two when I finally beat the game and heard Tommy lamenting on what he had become.

They do smack of being moralistic at times, but I can say that the story is a LOT more insightful than any of the soap operas being churned out here in my country imo. I do hope that the third Mafia game would be just as memorable, if not exceed what Illusion/2K Czech did with the first two games.

And was it just me, or is anyone else clamoring for a re-release of the original on Android and/or iOS?
