If Mafia 2 is half the game Mafia was...I will be happy.

There was other news?

Well I for one am glad for no prone in BC2. Game already is getting on my nerves with no restriction on which guns are used. Seems the most I get killed with is some lame ass sitting on the mountain a million miles away. That's all we need, the guy to be prone in the bushes sniping. One thing that also sucks about BC2 is the deathcam, talk about absolutely f'ing pointless. How you are supposed to determine anyone is cheating with that cam is beyond me. Or maybe that's the whole point, mask cheating.

actually mafia had a really well designed life within the game. characters interacted. everyone was peachy. life was swell in a mafia infested world.
i don't think they're talking about interaction with the world, but most likely with the interaction within the world. much like the original mafia. the only downfall in mafia was the game play as it sometimes was buggy. but the world was amazing. In complete honesty no game has yet come close to the life that mafia had, in my opinion. GTA series were mission oriented and only good thing free roaming was good for was killing. Mafia had it all. You can enjoy it without being on a mission.

If Mafia 2 has still some of mafia 1 in it, then it'll be amazing. Simple as that. it's not a bold statement since they have a top notch game behind them. If however this was a spider man 4 game and that was the statement... then you know... everyone who played the first mafia has high hopes for this.

"If Mafia 2 is half the game Mafia was...I will be happy. "

I wouldn't be happy.. I'd be downright pissed.. You'd accept something that was only half as good as the original? I don't even accept shitty efforts from a crap OS like Windows 7, that's 8+years older than XP and still give win7 an ass wooping by having better shell extensions and performance, and having the better better explorer ui and customization etc.

So no.. Mafia 2 will have to be at least good as Mafia or better, shouldn't be too hard to fuck up really. But then its been developed for consoletards aswel so that is obviously going to bring things right down.

I personally don't see it being anymore better technically than GTAIV, just a different environment, they haven't mentioned any unique features that stand out at all. I will be be happy to see its return though, Mafia the original was unique and well made though its extensibility after completion was fucking shit.
