"When Mafia released back in 2002 on PC, it set a benchmark for open world sandbox video games. Not in terms of gameplay, or entertainment value, but in storytelling. Mafia weaved a complex narrative over a decade, concluding with a scene that will be hailed as one of the most memorable in video gaming history." - OnlySP

GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Mafia 4 should reinvent the open-world crime game with a now-retro '90s setting like The Sopranos, just like Rockstar did with the '80s GTA: Vice City
I hope it takes place in the 1890s. And its a western. And its not about the mafia. Why dont we have more high quality western games again?
Agree a %100 loved Mafia 2 I believe it just needed a little more dev time and it would have been prefect. Really cant wait for Mafia 3 next gen I think I read somewhere that their working on next gen Mafia.
Hopefully it'll be the true GTA of the 1900's Next-Gen.
I was pleasantly surprised by Mafia II, even though I thought the open world was a bit unnecessary, since there was very little to do within it. For the most part, the game was just a series of story missions, which made me wonder why it wasn't just a linear game. Having to drive everywhere got tedious after a while.
If Mafia III wants to retain the open world, there should probably be some side missions and activities, as well more interactivity in general. That said, I like the idea of a third game and have no doubt the story would be interesting once again.
Never played the franchise, but was always curious about it. If 3 goes next-gen I may have to give it a shot.
