Guys, last warning. Stop spamming the thread. You'll get your answer, but I don't work faster because you spam. I'll just shut this thread down until I get the answer, and that won't make you happy.
Final. Warning.
Well.. just wait to an answer... because if we keep writing things that are not related, she maybe won't say nothing, and that is the last think i want. I created this thread to know a real and official answer, please don't break the objective of this thread! Just wait until she have a official answer, so keep replying here just with new stuff or with new questions... because she already know our initial questions, have been said more than 20 times! just wait please!
Hey man ya whats up, im at university right now and was at the gym. Hope Liz comes through with the info. I hope me be a happy consumer. I wonder if the final versin is better.
On PS3 i do love the way you can shoot up that bar, the destruction is awesome![]()
I'm glad that at least one person understood what I'm talking about (I hope): you can't judge technical quality of retail PS3 version on those screenshots because they do not come from gameplay on a console, It comes from developer's tool on PC. I can't believe someone can believe that games are developed straight on consoles - yes, they have special developer's consoles, but they are used only for debugging and testing. Even Nintendo DS games are developed on PCs with special SDK.
Guys, repeating what you have all been saying before and reassuring each other about the impending answers counts as spam. Unless you have something new to say, do NOT post it. Liz has already stated that she only wants you guys to post new information.
If you continue to spam, then this thread will be closed and it will make it THAT much harder for you guys to get answers. Responding to this post counts as spam as well. Thanks.
Well I have some new info about bugs,for example there's a wierd audio glitch everytime I enter into the factory from the demo and also once when I got out of the car I left the door open and a car drived thru it without ripping it off...![]()
... I've noticed that my vehicle is sometimes able to go through a metal fence without knocking it down or anything.. like a ghost car(PS3 Demo)
This is just an endless wait,we'll never get the answer,I will check out later today if Mrs Liz still doesn't give us the answer then we'll just have to wait and see the reviews and gameplay,anyway I will still buy it...*sigh*![]()
Hi, not trying to spam, but where i live, it's getting late. Will there be any answers anytime soon?.. Or will they come tomorrow?
Liz, care to elaborate?
I'm just waiting for her to answer so she can shut everyone up in here, so this thread can get close once and for all.![]()
Hey guys,
When designing Mafia II, we optimized for each of the three different systems the game would run on to make sure the core experience was the best it could be. Because of this, there are some differences from one platform to the next. In terms of the PS3 version, I wanted to clarify a couple points you have been asking about: There will not be highly detailed grass or large pools of blood, the cloth movement is less noticeable than, for example, the PC version, and the visual fidelity in the demo is generally representative of what you’ll see in the full game.
Our aim is to make a cohesive and immersive experience and optimize the game for each platform so that it could run its best. And while there are some differences between each version, I’m sure you’ll find that the core gameplay and the heart of Mafia II remains no matter whether you play on PS3, 360, or PC.
Thanks for your patience while I checked with the dev team on the specific issues you were asking about, and I hope you see you in Empire Bay next week.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have follow up questions for me, you can ask them here. Insults, spam, and other off-topic behavior will result in you being banned, so let's all play nice.
Well, that's it.. ps3-owners got screwed ower. Damn i didn't expect that from 2k. Well, i'm done buying 2k products for now. I'm not getting this for ps3. Thanks for the effort Liz, but severely dissapointing that they game developers are that lazy. Well, anyway.. see you guys. Gotta go buy myself something that isn't made by 2k. Now, ban me all you want. And for a follow up question: "WHAT!?". I seriously don't believe how you can make such a horribly looking version of this game for all your fans owning ps3's. I actually think that is kind of an insult, that you actually think anyone's gonna buy this.. and ever buy products from you again. 8 years of waiting, and this is it?... man, i'm disappointed. Not even gonna get this game for any platform.
Chill

Thats really bad news..... Definitley not buying an inferior Ps3 version.
Hope no one does. We shouldn't support devs who put out inferior versions on our console because I know that if the right time and resources were put into the project, it would be virtually identical 360 version.
Anyway thanks for getting back to us, and telling the truth.

then why does the 360 version have it, thax for a crappy port
I really dislike the word "inferior" because I disagree with it completely. I wanted to answer your specific questions about individual details people brought up, but overall the PS3 version of the game is a full world with all the content (and actually exclusive extra content) and an amazing story line full of driving, shooting, and other Mafia goodness.
It's a shame to put down the work the team has done because of a few specific details - as I said, there are slight differences across all three platforms, but the core and important part of the game is the same.
Well still, it looks horrible in comparison to the other versions. It looks like it was made 3 years ago, and it's made for the most powerful og the consoles. The only problem here is that the effort weren't made to make this game right. And yeah, sure the gameplay is great, but honestly.. don't you think it slightly ridicoulous? Anyway, thanks for the honesty, now i can avoid buying this, and maybe pick it up for 5 bucks some day.. when i have a decent pc, so i can actually get the real experience.
Fantastic..![]()
I'll be going for the 360 version then, Thanks anyway Elizabeth.. If you can, Could you tell the dev team that I'm glad they've at least tried to make a decent port for the PS3.. I'm sure they've tried their best.![]()

But this is major graphical differences. Nobody actually believed that this game would look that bad, and for an experience that's supposed to make you involved in the story.. the poor graphics just kills it. Hope that you will set this right with some patches eventually. and when it looks this bad, why not just make a terrible port? The result would have been equally bad..and flat grass textures? That's like 1999 tech.. it's sort of pathetic in a sad way..

Well.. 2K Games need to optimize their tools alot more.. because the PS3 is definately capable of having grass, motion blur & blood pools in all of games on that platform..
I really don't understand this, 2K Games.. I really don't.
Okay, If you say that the PS3 can't handle it.. Then your engine is obviously rubbish.
For an engine that took 8 years to develop.. Wow, Very bad for the PS3..![]()

well unfortunately since i only have a ps3 i wont be getting the game now unfortunate to hear it could have been a great game. thank you liz for the information that we desperately needed. there is always ACB i suppose. i have been really excited to play the game but unfortunately it looks like we got the short end of the deal. while i might still want to play the game i couldnt go against my own morals in the sense that i would spend my money on a game in which the devs showed such disregrard and disrespect for the PS3 users. so until maybe Spec Ops is coming around. oh by the way thx for not releasing a PS3 beta for it that was really cool. once again dont misinterpret my words Mafia 2 is an incredible game on the PC and i envy anyone who is able to play it. bye 2K forums![]()
DAM, that very bad news. I think i may just get the 360 version, the dlc, even though looks good, is not worth it, especially if the version is very inferior compared to the 360.
They didnt optimize the PS3 at all, have you seen the things that come out of PS3 they lookds beautiful this looks like its a ps3 launch title, no offense but it's half assed. Ya we get DLC but i feel its more a pity move because we get the downgraded version. Very disappointed with 2k.
Can a higher authority please explain the released screenshots of "The betrayal of Jimmy"is that a modified image?I call that false advertising![]()
Ya hope you guys know thats false advertisisng, bunch of PRETTY UNICORNS, if those shots are from PC but you photoshopped the triangle for PS3 you guys are in a ****load of trouble.
