2K Czech gearing up for Mafia III development?

2K Czech may be getting ready to begin development on a third Mafia game, if a recent job listing is anything to go by.

Go for it 2K, just don't spend an age developing it and produce something worse than expected. I'm all for Mafia 3! :)

and that's what people expect mafia 2 to be. if anyone who has played mafia 1 know one thing it was a story driven game with not many side mission. it was also not done as bad with after every mission go home to sleep to move the story forward.

but with mafia 3 they should use the same engine
a bit of a more open world game with few things to do
AI needs to be much much better sometimes they became superman others they would run into your bullets
Mafia 2 should have co-op since its a buddy story
DON'T KILL JOE from mafia 2 give the gamers a chance to save him in the 3rd
shooting worked fin but gta4 had better shooting mechanics

and we have ourself a great mafia 3

I no way did I say it should have been GTA. No way at all.

In my opinion however, the game was not up to scratch on the quality I expect from a game which I had been waiting for, for five years.

[morganfell]

Perhaps not others, but for me Mafia II was far better than GTA. So it wasn't free roam. But the depth of the characters, the varied missions, great story, adult approach, and well implemented combat controls had me going back to this game time and again.

The DLC was damned by a timer but the main game was a Hollywood worthy presentation.

Mafia 2 was terrible on the PS3, After i saw my friend playing it on PC. I had to buy the game again on Steam just to be able to enjoy the game. I hope the optimise it next time for the PS3.

[Stunt]

Mafia 2 was great. Mafia 3 is welcomed.

[kevco33]

Mafia 2 was AWESOME. Mafia 3 is MAKING ME A HAPPY BUNNY!

[DelbertGrady]

Pls do. Mafia 2 had the best and most engaging story I've experienced in an open world game so far.

[lh_swe]

Yeah, except the open world wasn't very 'open' so to say^^...if they right that wrong then it's probably set to be my favourite open world game :)

[mightyboot]

Lets hope it learns something from LA Noire.

[Kon]

Make it

[OllieBoy]

Yes please! I've bought all the Mafia II DLC because the story is so amazing.

[lastdual]

I just hope they get better performance out of the engine for the consoles this time. Mafia 2 looks pretty amazing on PC, but it really could have used some better optimization for the 360 and PS3.

[MGRogue2017]

Let's hope they include the grass & blood in the PS3 version this time 'round, eh??

[OllieBoy]

haha

It looks pretty bad on both consoles, though. Hopefully they have a bigger budget this time so the PS3/360 versions look better.

[yewles1]

Maybe they'll actually WORK on the PS3 version instead of just tossing it over to Massive Bear Studios without a care in the world this time...

[Tuxedoassassin]

Mafia 2 was amazing game, with awesome story.
But the ending was a huge letdown for me.
Anyway why not?
Both games were awesome, so i hope that Mafia 3 will be the same. :)

[megalonagyix]

Actually the ending was a great cliffhanger.

[megalonagyix]

Yes, Mafia 2 was indeed amazing, but i hope they won't cut out contet just like they did with part 2. Originally, the game contained 130 mission.

[electricshadow]

I loved the 2nd one, even if I did play it on the PS3. I'm all up for a 3rd entry.

[Ve3tro]

It was obvious that a Mafia 3 would be in development with the way Mafia 2 ended.

Still need to complete Joe's Adventures, really enjoyed both the main game and it's DLC.

[TANUKI]

It's too bad Mafia 2 didn't turn out like the picture for this article. That one picture hyped me so much... I don't know why....

[user858621]

Mafia 2 > Gta 4

[Saryk]

I enjoyed the ending in Mafia 2 because it built up the suspense for the third (at least was hoping). I have never cared for these types of games (GTA, Saints Row, etc), but this one is a exception for me. Had Steam not had that amazing sale on Mafia 2, would have never tried it.

[Reborn]

I'm interested to see what happens next. (Given the ending in Mafia 2)

Though, I do hope this one improves nonetheless.

[The Iron Sheik]

I hope Joe survived the ending of the last game and is back in Mafia 3. He was the best character in the game.

[trains]

is there like a complete edition of mafia 2 with all the dlc (i dont care about costumes or cars just the 3 story dlc's)

[ExitToExisT]

I f*ckin hope they wont cut anything from the game.

they released 3 premium dlc's and 5 car/cloth packs.

[SpaceSquirrel]

Mafia 2 was very good. I hope part 3 can improve upon it.

[Dkey3191]

Please make Mafia III 2K, Mafia II was great. Although RDR equally good, it hasn't kept my interest like Mafia II has. Part of that is based on the ending, which was really a way to keep the people who played the game hooked and waiting for the next one. Mafia III should take place in the late 50s,60s, and maybe the 70s. Doesn't really matter to me as long as we find out what happens to Joe and Vito.
