Ok, guys, so lets go the new information of mafia2, some are new , other not, some pics new, other no, this taken from a portuguese magazine from portugal, BGAMER.

Info:

the core team of mafia one, is present on mafia 2, daniel vrava the writer and director of mafia one is still present, he receveid formation for writing arguments.


mafia 2 is a more mature game, more realistic.


the story is: you are Vito, son of imigrant, poor, and he makes various little crimes, like steal things with is friend Joe, over the time he gets caught, and he has the option to go to 2nd world war, or jail, we chooses to go to war, the game begins in end of that conflict, when vito returns he and joe begins his carrier in the COSA NOSTRA, but the motivations of both are different: Joe wants is crazy about being an gangster, and likes the lifesytle of gangster, Vito is looking for a better life, more reserved character, wants to escape the bad and poor life. this is not a game about gangsters is about this two characters and his journey on being "made man", is about their envolvement on the "family", and the dark side of it.


the realism is something really important to 2k Czech, the graphics are simply amazing, the engine is in-house, the screens speak for themself but this are not enough you need to play the game to see this amazing everivoment.


the destrution of the cars and physics are simply amazing, they showed us a demostration in game, beginning with a simply touch on the car, to show us this system, this scrashed the car painting. then they stealed a new car, and start shooting the tires, if you shoot in the direction of a lock, after two three shots, the door opens, they fired a few shots and the car exploded, and flame all over the car, then the tires exploded.


the speed limits are there, but this time you wont get a ticked that hard, you need to make some bad things to get a ticket, the police can ticket and arrest the AI.


all cars have full tank of gasoline, but after a long drive you will need to go to a gasoline station, there will be some missions where they will use this, you can go to a wash station and clean your car, the carjacking wont be that easy = mafia one, the police will notice the breaked glace and will be warned, its more secure to unlock the car, then breaking the glace to enter the car.


you can change clothes and eat, changing clothes its nice to escape police, and drinking coffee makes you stronger.


the city is called empire city, based on NY, SAN FRANSICO, in years 50, is the double of mafia one, they created various inside buildings, like houses, restaurants, stores, etc, the JOE APARTAMENT, is really like the house of an single guy, clothes on floor, unclenead dishes, you can turn the water on and off, light on and off, if you look outside you see the city, and cars, theres no loading in game, only to enter the game, or only one loading.


every object breaks in 32 pieces, chairs, etc...


if a fat policeman goes after you, you can run away much more easier


the main theme of the game is the story and action, you can listen about some news about some things you were involved, in the radio.


the soul of the mafia one is there, the action scenes, everything.


the game is in third person, you have to find cover, the cover can get destroyed, and make holes of the bullets,


when you are in cover mode, the camera makes a zoom next to your shoulder, you can alternate between the right and left shoulder, for better viewing.

there are two principal indicatores in-game, one is the "warning of police" and the other "nivel of respect in the family", this can change if you shoot inocente people.


there are +/- 50 cars, not real ones, but based on the cars of that year, you can paint them, change license plate, you can open the backside of the car, doors, the frontside of
the car, you can activate a speed limit, you can catch a taxi or a bus.


they expect a 2009 release


oh, there are DOGS in the game,hanging around the streets!!!! i have pic of this.


i would post the screens , but you is not allowed to post scans :/

Cheers, and sorry for the BAD ENGLISH, i wrote quite fast, so i didnt care for spelling errors.......

Do you think there will be also another kinds of animals. I think there will be birds for sure - in the first Mafia game there were dogs and birds too and when you were in poor quarters like worksquarter(i think) you could hear miaowing of cats - so I'm wondering if there will be cats too, not only as a voice but "real". I rally do not need it there, but i think that one cat hiding in the grass of some poor quarter (or some vermin infastating it) or one nobby lady with a dressed up dog walking across the street could do a good atmosphere. But that's only my opinion.

About dogs and cats, it's nice if you see some animals around yes.

Just another target instead people only :p.

Hmmm I like the part of inside buildings and changing cloths. Gives realism to the game.

maybe the dog-headed man from Mafia 1 will be back, despite playing Mafia through countless times I never saw him, would be a good easter egg for M2 ;)

I don't care just about animals, I has just written something about them because i'm wondering how many "characters" there will be.

I know there will be something about 50 - 80 detaily modeled cars, that developers are focused on every inch of them - not just a grafics but also a physics and a reality of it,
I know there will be more persons than in first mafia, but i'm wondering if there will be more different types of them - for example of ages of people - if there will be kids, teens etc. Not everywhere, but just somewhere and sometimes.
You know that Mafia II as it's descend is/will be about detailes. So I really like imagination of situations at sea-parts of city - mostly at havens when you look above and you see some sea-gulls twirling in the late dark red sun illuminated sky, or the situation when you are in some messy flat (as the one of screens), you open door of kitchen-cabinet and you’ll see some vermin running away.

I don’t want to see this stuff over whole Mafia’s story and place, but just in some interesting scenes or like in real life.

Of course my primal interest is focused in main characters, story and things of 40’s and 50’s, but i’m also looking for some specialities, i’m trying to imagine how could it look like if they were there.
Have you already seen pictures from paper magazines. On one of them there is women trying to walk across the street in the same time when you – mean Vito are cutting a corner to get gangsters. She is obviously interesting in it bacause she must pay attention not to get hurt. As you can see in the picture, she is wearing some suitable and especially period costume. She has a bonnet, a wavy hair, earrings, a pullover with silver buttons at wristlets of slaves, leather gloves and a silver chainlet – it looks great and as you can also see there is not any same person, so I’m also wondering how many types of persons there will be.

I’m just looking for detailes, for any released detail, I don’t want to play some “Pina Colada”.

just because it has a few feral urban animals roaming the city doesn't make it Viva Pinata. Heck, if it had a city zoo I'm sure you wouldn't complain! I think it'd just be cool to be running down an alleyway and come across a cat minding it's own business, cleaning itself, only to have it notice you and scurry away.

Also, I'd love to see different ages of people--kids too! We've never seen kids in any sort of game like this, and for one good reason. We don't want people running around murdering children, but it could be implemented that if you shoot children you fail the mission automatically, or they could simply be invincible, and just able to run really fast and "disappear" around a corner or something.
