Restructuring within 2K's offices and the closing down of 2K Prague might cause delays in the development and release of Mafia 3.

Wait, Mafia 3 was in development? God damn it I'm the last one to ever recognize that? Anyway, I certainly hope that nothing bad happens to 2K like bankruptcy, it's already terrible to the people who've lost their jobs in Prague, I'm a fan of their games and really hope the best for them.

Kulghar3913d ago

Doubt they are facing bankruptcy, it's more likely that running offices on two continents is not exactly cost-effective for a smaller development company.

I'm curious to see what happens with Mafia 3, Mafia 2 was a bit of a let-down.

minimur123912d ago

Not the first one to hear about Mafia 3 was in dev'

I really got into gaming about a year/half ago so mafia 3 I've heard nothing about.... atall

Blaze9293912d ago

2K Games isn't the type of company to go bankrupt - especially not with Take-Two behind them. They actually do make quality games.

I'm sure Mafia 3 will still come. Hopefully revealed at E3. Dat Mafia 2 ending!!!

DeadlyFire3912d ago

I suspect its just the coming of the new fiscal year. Which means some people have to disappear so that it looks like soaring profit for the investors. That's how business works.

Xsilver3912d ago

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo i hope it doesn't affect Mafia 3 development.

MadLad3912d ago

I was just talking to a friend about the series, actually. I knew Mafia 3 supposedly went into development soon after the release of the second, but with little information released since then I pretty much assumed the game as put on hold or that it was scrapped altogether.
I'll happily take the delay. I wasn't even sure the game was actually being made.

Rickgrimes953912d ago

Idc how long it takes as long as it's released eventually I will wait very exciting though next gen gangster game sounds sick

ExitToExisT3912d ago

I was really looking forward to Mafia III:(

Mafia 3 Deserves A Little More Respect

More people should be making a trip to this bayou.

Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.

I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)

InklingGirl803d ago

I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.

"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"

Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.

The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.

I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.

LucasRuinedChildhood803d ago (Edited 803d ago )

*said "Imagine if ..."

Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...

Terry_B803d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius803d ago (Edited 803d ago )

I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂

XbladeTeddy803d ago

It was repetitive and boring. Not a good game at all.

Yi-Long803d ago

The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.

XbladeTeddy803d ago

They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.

MadLad803d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure803d ago

People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.

MadLad800d ago

I respectfully disagree.

GTA V, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption 2 VR mods are dead – and Take 2 Interactive killed them

From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.

This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."

Orbilator806d ago

Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.

Duke19806d ago

I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.

If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often

Top 10 Mafia 3 Characters

KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
