Mafia 3 Confirmed

2 might have been a more accomplished game mechanically but a lot of people feel it didnt have the same impact as Mafia 1's narrative. Maybe a bit of it is rose tinted glasses but back in 2002 Mafia was something else. When I think of cinematic games that made you sit up and take notice of what was going on, Mafia 1 is certainly one of them.

Never played 1 but played 2 and I'd still consider it one of the best games in my collection. Apart from San Andreas and The Last of Us it was the most interesting game I ever played from a story perspective.

With regards to cinematic games you describe it's been a while since I've played one, or what I'd consider one because imo theres not many out there. The Last of Us been the one, before that LaNoire which was good but looking back it was quite average (game engine and story), Red Dead...., and Mafia 2.

I'm not going to be too quick to assume badly of Mafia 3, okay the gameplay does look quite cheesy/arcadey compared to 2 but otherwise until I play it I'll reserve judgement.

Mister Jingles

2k are keeping very quite on this, 4-5 months on and nothing still.

Really enjoyed 1 back when it came out. 2 wasn't quite as good, and the script was hilariously bad (which made it funnier than it should have been).

I think they need something more than shooting lots of enemies and driving around in 3 for it to be successful.

Mister Jingles

Rumor of this been released this month was obviously a spoof. The wait really better be worth it.

Apparently we also find out the faith of Joe from mafia 2

I really want this to be good but it just doesn't look like a Mafia game. Anytime I see a bit of footage, it just makes me want to play Mafia 2 again.

Yeah, looks more like GTA in 60's New Orleans.
Can't wait to play it though,
for 2 reasons 1, I loved the 1&2 and
2, I'm sick of GTA being modern day.

Looks like some info coming our way tomorrow after a postcard from New Bordeaux on the official twitter page was decoded. Also, New Bordeaux is a city in the the leaked Red Dead Redemption 2 map. Would be very interesting to see both linked if the RDR map is actually true.

The mafia 3 twitter posted this:

It uses roman numerals and a Ceaser cipher shifted 14 places when you decipher it using that method you get:


DEARL XVII GODDAMNED YEARS AFTER ALL THIS TIME YOUD THINK UNCLE SAL WOULD GET TIRED OF JAMMING HIS HEAD UP MY ASS LIKE THATS EVER GONNA CHANGE ILL DEAL WITH IT WHAT I CANT DEAL WITH IS HOW THIS PLACE IS A GOD DAMNED SWEAT BOX YOU NEED ME BACK ON OUR FAVORITE UNCLE AFTER I SPEAK WITH HIM NEXT WEEK HERE GETTIN TOGETHER ON APRIL 19 AT 6 A M PT VITO
(After some formatting changes)


It is a message from Vito to Lincoln from what I gather and they will be "getting together" on the 19th this month

Mister Jingles

October 7th has been confirmed as the release date.

Could be interesting, the trailer looks like the story might be fun, but you can already imagine the tropes they'll use in their head.

martyos121

Just finished Mafia 2 the last day, really enjoyed it. Ending was really dark too which I loved. Don't know why I put it off for so long.

Trailer for this doesn't look promising, not much of a Mafia feel to it.

aaronjumper

It does look interesting but as already said it doesn't feel like a Mafia game so far, from what I've seen of the story and gameplay.

ItsHoggie

The more I see of this game the more I wanna play it, definitely one of my most anticipated games this year!

I absolutely loved Mafia 1, one of my all time favourite games but the reviews (both user and 'pro') put me off Mafia 2. I got it cheap about 18 months later and was raging I put it off as I thought it was brilliant. Last time I ever trusted reviews on any game.

For this, the devs said they wanted to do something different than the typical Mafia setting which I get but maybe the Mafia name just carries a certain expectation.

I'll be keeping a very close eye on this and will try make my mind up from gameplay vids. I'm sure plenty more info will be release over E3/Summer anyway.

martyos121

The gameplay looks absolutely fantastic, there's no denying that, but I've yet to see any indication they'll capture the true feeling of 60's New Orleans.

I'm sure it won't dissapoint when it does drop though.

aaronjumper

That latest video has given me a bit of confidence in Mafia 3. Could be great.

irishmover

Mafia 2 was among my favourite play throughs. Having watched trailers for 3 I think I might try find 2 and play it again as I don't remember much. Just seen you can't buy it on steam..

This one looks great. The steam discussion is riddled with threads about how ridiculous it is to have a black guy as the main character.... Christ.. What is wrong with people.

That video looks excellent but the guy narrating is an idiot.

Mafia = open world with nothing to do but the story.
Other open world games + 4 million icons about absolute bull****, that is bull**** and just more bull****.

I like Mafia as its a narrated game in an open world that has a feeling of being an actual place, dont fcuk with that part of the game. I am sure the same narrator whinges about Ubisoft and its open world of bull****.

Nothing wrong with a bit of variety always would have liked if the Mafia 2 game had branched out a bit more.
After playing through the story umpteenth times I would have liked the option of some more things to do than sell cars and mess with the police.

They made a big detailed world but had nothing to do in it just like L.A. Noir once you do the side cases.

Nothing wrong with that if the narrative is decent. Which Mafia has previously done well on.

I agree, I'm not saying they should sacrifice story for a game of find the three hundred collectibles just that including them shouldn't do any harm.

Plus what I heard in that gameplay trailer is that all the side stuff will have an impact on the story stuff.
Creating stealth opportunities or disabling phones so they can't call backup etc.
If implemented correctly could be great fun altogether.

Looks great, I'm really looking forward to it.

This game just oozes 'AAA'. I hope it sells millions! Mafia II was a superior game to GTAIV.

^ Creedence Clearwater Revival. Yay!

Legend has it that it's a Federal offence to have anything to do with Vietnam and not feature Fortunate Son in some capacity :pac:

DEFTLEFTHAND

Not sure about the characters, I'd rather play as the mob guys tbh.

A cool way of announcing System Requirements:

Redo91

Will I need to have played Mafia 1 & 2 to play this?

Nah. Completely unrelated story.

I would highly recommend playing Mafia 2 tho just because it's a great game.

Zero-Cool

Like Misky said, no need but Mafia 1 is one of the best games of all time. Epic experience.

Kerplunk124

In regards to the above question

Is Vito not turning up in 3?

Dick phelan

Love the Mafia games the 1st is one of the best games i'v ever played and 2 wasn't bad either, is their an offical release date yet?

7th of October.

marcbrophy

I hope there's more than 3 different face models for the female NPCs in the 3rd game.

I found it a bit odd, in the 2nd game, that one of the girls in the bordello had the exact same face as the main characters sister, just a different hair cut :pac:

Can't wait for the new game

eyerer

Never got to play Mafia 1. There is a re-make I would like in HD

Occasionally I get to fly into new york and the shuttle bus always goes through Hoboken on the way into Manhattan.

It always takes me back.

Yes, and we also find out what happened after the ending of 2.

bigphil2

i was a bit sceptical about this game for a while\,but having watched a few of the play videos that popped up this week,i reckon ill be getting it (after i finish Deus Ex:Mankind Divided)
I loved Mafia 2 except for the driving,but they seemed to have fixed this.

markcahill1985

Many picking this up on release? never played the original games but think Ill go for this, looks excellent and the early reviews of gameplay look very promising.

dreamers75

After being burned by Deus Ex I may wait for a GOTY version with all DLC.

Loved the 1st 2.

Ya, I've ordered it from Amazon but wont get to start playing it until Oct 11th or 12th. Really looking forward to it.

Mister Jingles

Have the deluxe edition pre ordered with Gamestop.

That_Guy

Game Collection seems to be cheapest online anyway.

http://www.thegamecollection.net/mafia-iii-ps4.html?tduid=36c3f8903887ddceecdd9b793b099664

(Same price for Xbox One version too)

£39.75 = €46.12 (may fluctuate lower or higher from day to day)
+ €3.95 Parcel Motel (or €3.85 with Parcel Wizard)

Total: €50.07

Pre ordered with them today. Have the 17th & 18th booked off so will spend those days on this. Looks good.

Grahamer666

Really looking forward to this. Loved the last one.

steve_r

Interested in this.

Tried the first one and got stuck on the race car mission and rage quit.

I think there's a balancing act nowadays with open world games in terms of main story vs side missions. Too much side missions/collectibles stuff to do and it feels too much like a grind and like you just clear areas for the sake of it.

review embargo till release day,, will wait before buying...
