I saw on a Mafia 2 web site in french that the game would come out for PS3 and Xbox 360 at first... I REALLY hope it's Bull Sh*t, 'cause if it's true.... I put all my hope in you 2k games, don't dissapoint your players... I think I wouldn't play to a video game again if this happen.
I believe there were some official statements that 2k games is gonna release Mafia 2 for PC and consoles simultaneously.
PC games sometimes seem more likely to slip than the console versions but doubt there will be much in it, will be prob be getting both PC & 360 versions (If I decide to upgrade my PC) so should be safe
I think I wouldn't play to a video game again if this happen.
Yeah I'm totally serious... All the new 'games' are BS, World of Warcraft : BC, COD 4, GTA 4... Excepting Warhammer Online I don't see any good game out there, I hope it will change with Red Alert 3, RTCW 2, Duke Nukem Forever, and Mafia 2.
oh my god dont be so cruel to the developers if you do that thing you're saying certainly will affect directly to the economy and sells of the gameOriginally Posted by Johnion
Oh Yeah! Well I'll never eat again until it is on PC so there.!
lol!PS3!!
not pc..and whaat? you angry of that?
so what wait a month..Get a ps3 hope the PS3 is better then Pc
Mafia is a PC games, it's just adapted to those stupid console to get more players.
i coulded be agree with you in the 2000 2001, even 2004 but in 2008/2009 you need a computer of 1 million dollars to play actual games but...to play mafia 2 you even need a 5 milliion dollars computer if you dont then the only thing you can expect from your computer is a great boom ( "explotion" for those who doesnt understand the joke) you know the advantage of the not stupid consoles is that you can play with similar graphics ( is not too much the difference ) although you have to had a computer only for videogames (wich is more stupidly stupid than the consoles)to soport memory and graphics.
...so i think that console is a great inversion...andd considerating the interntet(xbox live , blablabla...) and the loadable demos i think its not stupid.
wouldn't be without my consoles
they're cheap (360 is anyway) you know the games will work every time..... until the 360 breaks
although graphics can't always compete there's a lot to be said for gaming on a big screen TV
in a recent interview i posted says that the pc with the consoles versions will be launched at same time so it wont be a great diference in graphics
Mafia 1 was a PC game which was adapted (badly) for consoles, Mafia 2 is being developed cross platform, big difference.Mafia is a PC games, it's just adapted to those stupid console to get more players.
lets not go down the consoles are stupid route, in the end everyone will get what they want & whether you like them or not the console market is huge & growing all the time, they would be mad to ignore it.
Unfortunately, the graphics will probably be dumbed down because xbox 360 isn't very powerful. It would've been much better if the game was designed mainly for PC.
PC will always have the advantage, and IS have said it'll be better but that doesn't mean it can't still look great, like COD4 on PC & 360.
can't blame them for wanting to take advantage of all platforms.....
it will be no great diffence is like the diference betewen gta 4 in xbox 360 and ps3...its really patetic the diference and the difference between assassins creed in pc and xbox 360 .....the point is that you dont even notice that when you're playing a good entretaining game
PS: Well in mafia 1 i was a captable difference between consoles but this will not be the case i think
You're actually supporting my point. The reason the games you mentioned don't look much better on PC is because they were designed primarily for the consoles. Today's PC are much more powerful than consoles. If they designed the games for PC's first, they would look much better (like Crysis for example). The consoles are dragging them down. Games can only look as good as their lowest common denominator will allow them to look.
can't argue with that but anyone pushing out a game for just the PC market is missing out on a huge market, COD4 sold 7+ million on all platforms, can't imagine Crysis sold much more than a million?If they designed the games for PC's first, they would look much better (like Crysis for example). The consoles are dragging them down. Games can only look as good as their lowest common denominator will allow them to look.
if you're going to spend so long making a game you want it to go out to the biggest possible audience dont you?
Seemed to me that Crysis set out to push the limits of the tech and be as much as a showcase for what they can do as it was a game.... would still like to try it when I can afford to upgrade...... but that's really the problem as I see it.
yea but the greaaaaaat diference is something call money.....you have to update constantly your computer because if you dont then you wont run some games ...plus the prices games ....also you have to consider that consoles are specific for videogames , computers dont and if they are then you will spend more money, computers get old in 2-3 years, consoles in 5,6,7 years, consoles like xbox 360 have xbox live that by the way its lot of fun...you know consoles make accecible the games...although the diference of graphics of a game only in computer is not a hole lot of difference of a game of a console.....is not like "oh mi god i see an amazing animation in pc and in the consoles i only see a pixel"(xbox360, ps3) its more like: " oh the definition in the eye of the guy is more defined in pc than in consoles"
Actually, there will be a difference, like it was said for GTA4, there's difference between PS3 and Xbox 360, and difference between Consoles and PC. The CPU of Consoles don't allow to show a lot of differents cars at the same time, that's called Clipping. I think it's the same for pedestrians. There's no clipping on PC versions. Now, the difference between Xbox 360 and PS3 is mainly HD and Blu-ray disks, a lot of Xbox 360 don't have those support, even if the console is better in a lot of way, it's the problem.
Mafia is actually an huge game, graphically it's supposed to be equal to Crysis, and I saw game 3 years ago looking better than GTA 4, so I think the version on console will still suck.
really? where has anyone said that?Mafia is actually an huge game, graphically it's supposed to be equal to Crysis
hard to judge M2 on a few screens but from what I have seen Crysis looks light years ahead of Mafia 2 to me.
cme on ! the difference between gta 4 in 360 and ps3 is really really patetic cme on its not such diferent....the ps3 and 360 have .
In 3D graphics, in a city street scene the computer may have model, texture, and shader data in memory for every building in the city; but since the camera viewing the scene only sees things within, say, a 90° angle, or field of view, the computer does not need to transform, texture, and shade the buildings that are behind the camera, nor those which are far enough to the side that they are off the screen. The clipping algorithm lets the rendering code skip all consideration of those buildings, and the program runs faster and in xbox its not so bad but its not enough fast as you say...although oviously the 360 and ps3 will have bad things but there are more good things that bad things ...plus the thing i said in my other reply
I'm not saying that it should be developed only for PC. What I'm saying is that developers should take advantage of the power of PC. They should have a team of people working on adding visuals/physics features to the PC version of their game that the 360 can't handle. Or they should concentrate on making the best possible game (in terms of technology) for the PC, and then dumb it down a little for the consoles. As it stands right now, developers make the same game across all gaming mediums. It's just silly to me that games that are coming out in 2009 will be built to the standards of 4 year old technology (360 was released in 2005).
imagine ...if it was hard to make the game in 5 years with the graphics it will be launched then imagine other 2 years or at least 1 year more for better graphics.....and actually this topic is "PC AFTER 360 AND PS3 " so whats the problem...the developers will take more time for Mafia 2 in PC so why bothering to not launch the game for consoles before..and then pc ... or you want to make us wait the same time?
lets hope this is true
fair point, and I suppose from a PC gamers pov they are probably going to want all that tech to be pushed to the limits but it doesn't make a lot of sense from an economic pov, which I suspect has more sway than giving the PC version the extra bells & whistles.As it stands right now, developers make the same game across all gaming mediums.
end result is a cross platform game that still looks great even if it falls short of some ppls expectations, in a perfect world we would all get what we want but the world is busy going down the pan at the mo
Yeah right..
Has it NOT already been stated by Elizabeth that
the PC version is simultaneously going to be released
alongside the console versions and that the PC version
is looking really good.. just my penny'sworth thrown in
link-a-fact

yeah but she's not going to say it's looking a bit rough is she
really not worried either way, there are far more important things than eye candy, story & characters first, everything else just not important
i think controls are important
look at some games where the con trolls were clearly deigned for consoles the game play is shocking
remember my cousin getting a pirate game and it asking for an axillary stick or summat
and true crime the targeting being easy due to how it was designed
and the gta seris
made for PC then they found a console
now there not great and the half a year gap
sorry but if it is delayed after consoles i would not buy it for a while just to lower sales figures temporally
infact it should be released before
i prefer to play with mouse in shoter cos more presition but unfortunately the computer i only have is a IBM windows millenium
Some question here.
Is Mafia II a port game from console to PC or contrary (PC to console).
Sorry about out of topic here.
I hope Mafia 2 won't end like the great Soldier of Fortune...
