It is very strange to be talking about Mafia II, when the first game was revered as one of the best in 2002 and the game industry has changed so much since. That is, if Mafia II wants to have the same success of its predecessor, should make many changes and think that points to the developer. With Grand Theft Auto IV as a reach, 2K Czech has promised to create a world that breathes, with another incredible story inspired by the best movies and books about the Mafia.
Mafia was a story worthy of a Hollywood movie. An excellent presentation, great voices and a superb narrative structure. Clearly, the narrative power of the title ahead of its time and will be hard to match, but with the same writer headed the project, Mafia II is going for more.
And like any other started in the Cosa Nostra, initially Vito and Joe will have to do much of the dirty work before they can bathe in gold with the proceeds of organized crime. These will be in the virtual world known as Empire Bay, which covers about 30 square kilometers and will change appearance depending on the season it is. Empire Bay was created based in San Francisco and New York with some influences from Chicago and Detroit.
In the original, more troublesome players took issue with the cars (of time) were too slow. This is one of the criticisms that have been fixed, something as simple as change the period. Mafia II's story takes place from 1945 to 1955, includes 50 licensed cars and music of the era. Czech 2k has vowed to drive the cars is much more realistic than the last time, more fun and to be influenced by the type of weather you have in town. For example, if it is winter, the car will slide on the snow.
The fight will be much more realistic.
Probably the worst aspect of the original Mafia was the battle. Mechanically it was not bad, but I had some problems rolling returning some sections harder than they should be (damn race!). Czech 2k has designed a new system based on a system of coverage and the premise that a human being can not take many shots. This means that your character, as the enemies can not receive more than two or three hits before dying. That's why we have to make good use of cover and take the bullets.
Something that makes it very quiet is that watching the videos, it looks like Mafia. Much concentration in the atmosphere of the period, extended scene cuts and very well written and exciting moments. It remains to see how it is adapted to this new industry where everything must be easy to start playing and do not have much patience. No doubt will do much to surpass GTAIV in terms of open world, but the developer has an excellent record with titles such as Hidden & Dangerous and Mafia, among others. Mafia II will be coming to PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in late August.
