WooW nice information!!!


"GR: You've mentioned that we'll see references to the first game in Mafia II - does that mean we can expect appearances from any familiar characters?

DV: Mafia II has a totally new storyline with all new characters. As you will recall most of the characters from the first Mafia game came to a sticky end. However rumor has it that a character from Mafia I may be spotted by the keen observer, but you’l just have to wait and see.
"

Cool!

[oritxupolite]

Yes . I always thought that the history of Mafia 2 will be connected with the end of Mafia 1

Cool!

Yeah, maybe we'll see Tommy Angelo's tomb or something like that...

[oritxupolite]

Yes, are the same answers of the others interviews and previews, but some thing are new

Nice to read that there will be some countryside surrounding the city, I wonder if it will encapsulate the entire city so we can in a way drive around it from the outside in the countryside or if we get a more bigger rural areas in some corners of the total map.

Anyway a great read !

[Dark-Wolf]

Yeah that's a great news!

It's April 2008 and we need to wait 1 year! But we explode because we are losing patient.

The funny thing is "Also, Empire City is roughly double the size of Lost Heaven, covering approximately 10 square miles". Why is that funny? Because some missions in Mafia 1 spend about 10 to 15 minutes driving. Now 20 minutes to 30 minutes? hahaha, it's nice to get more freedom. I like big maps. The map is big when i can't remember the ways. In Mafia 1 i know every road even country side. So, let's see if they beat me this time .

I thank Oritxupolite for this report!

Regards, Dark-Wolf.

Pretty good. It really sounds like the guy knows what he wants with a game, knows how to achieve it, and *is* achieving it! the authenticity of the era sounds really cool too. I can't wait!
