Mafia 2 Details
The Czech website Tiscali Games has published some new hot and sexy Mafia II details. Word is:
- Two main heroes with completely different characters: although
you'll only be able to play as Vito, the other (named Joe) will play
an important part in the story, not being limited
to a supporting role.
-
Not a direct sequel / no story connectivity; in fact, you won't
have to know the first game.
-
Extensive car damage, with physical destruction model supposedly even
more detailed and prettier than the one from the acclaimed Burnout
Paradise (according to the journalists at press presentation) with
damaged car body, broken glass or exploding gas tanks.
-
Not only you'll have to stop at gas stations for refueling your car,
but you'll also be able to undergo a car wash and hence get rid of all
the dust that your car has been picking.
-
Money important for shopping (new clothes to get rid of pursuers) or
visiting restaurants, which is where you'll have your hero strengthen
up a bit by eating some (similar as in GTA San Andreas).
-
Pastel colors and an art style at times reminding of BioShock.
-
Confirmed the presence of Gears of War-like cover system
-
Story beginning shortly before the end of the World War II, which is when
Vito comes back from war duty at Europe.
-
Set in a fictional American city Empire City with size around 10 km2
(about twice as big as built-up area in original Lost Heaven city from
the first Mafia) with tens of unique quarters, inspired mostly by San
Francisco.
-
Lead platforms X360/PS3, while the PC version should launch
supposedly weeks or months afterwards, although this too could change depending on the current state of the gaming market.
-
Release date still wasn't specified, but the journalists are expecting the
game to ship in late spring/summer 2009.
