Inside 2K Czech - where is Mafia II happening?

[RaptorM60]

While I was looking for some news for MafiaGame.cz today, I found out that actual issue of german Games Aktuell has got some video reportage from 2K Czech offices on enclosed DVD. So I have been investigating for a while and found some images on MafiaSource.de (thx Pino), wich I've put into a short article including comments for images. It is online at MafiaGame.cz right now, but I think most of you don't understand our beatifully hard language, so there is a translation of comments I've made for the images:

#1 - It seems the acquisition of Illusion Softworks was quite fast, they even haven't had a time to change the logos.

#2 - If we can just have a closer look on those monitors ...

#3 - Q4 2008? Sounds great! Wondering if it's true ...

#4 - "OMG, how could I even do this everything until within next milestone ..."

#5 - What the hell is the game running on the screen? Is it an ... AK icon in the corner? Hell, this is not Mafia II ...

#6 - Dan says his girlfriend loves 50's. And so do Lukas "Cocik" Codr - he enjoys stepping the gas on Empire City's highway ...

P.S. If anyone finds similar news, post them here please! :-)

Hrmm, good find, and a 2008 release is not gonna happen I reckon. They always push it back, is this actually legit?

EDIT:Odesíláme do: jaro 2009 means, January 2009? And you can like pre-order it now?

needs a bigger office

is good seeing all this stuff now, guess all those rumours about DV leaving IS were as fake as I thought (& hoped ) they were.

Hey, something it's not right with this interview and this photo!!!
I dunno about the interview, but that photo with D.Vavra on a toillet, sitting on the toillet chair, it's something I've seen more than a year ago, or something like this. Dunno exactly, but I remember very well seeing that photo for some time while I was looking, like a mad guy, for news about if there is going to be or not a sequel to Mafia, so it's possible that I've seen that photo maybe in 2004, 2005 or 2006, so more years! Of course, we cannot exclude the possibility of shooting twice in the same place, different years and interviews but I don't think so... unless that's really his office!

Thanks! I knew something, the video was added March 27, 2007 so more than a year. Maybe it was filmed in 2006.
