If they remove the car explosions I'll buy it day 1.

SunnyZ3177d ago (Edited 3177d ago )

Yeah, they went full Michael Bay.
You NEVER go full Michael Bay...

A little tap and the car just detonates, what are they doing? Carrying around a trunk full of nitrogen triiodide?

Pretty stupid IMO.

Phar0ahad33177d ago

i like it .......its different.....

DonkeyDoner3177d ago

please no more errand boy mission

joab7773177d ago

I've always just wanted the ability to start as a recruit and work my way to the head of the family. This looks like an interesting story w/ interesting characters, hopefully there is alot of freedom involved also.

DoctorFry3177d ago (Edited 3177d ago )

I'm not sure how I feel about this game right now. New Orleans is in the deep South, I personally think Miami would've had a better atmosphere for crime.

itsjustexuma3177d ago (Edited 3177d ago )

New Orleans is a great idea because there was more history in New Orleans than in Miami during the 60s

mark3214uk3177d ago

mafia 2 was 1 of the greatest games ive played, but just not feeling number 3, seems like there going the saints row route and ruined what could of been a amazing game

Still praying for a gangsters 3 :/ one day

jb2273175d ago

I'm not sure I see the Saint's Row comparison but maybe I'm missing something. Seems like a more serious story driven game to me...I'm super pumped to see a game set during such an interesting time period, and lord knows the soundtrack has the potential to be absolutely amazing...if they can't license a wide range of the best 60s tunes, I'm definitely gonna be making a spotify playlist on my ps4 and hoping I can play it during the game.

To me the Mafia series is easily one of the best examples of storytelling done right in open world games. I personally think they even beat Rockstar when it comes to solid & compelling storytelling...GTA may have more fun distractions but Mafia really compels you to keep those story missions running instead of just going on rampages in the city.

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)

InklingGirl642d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood642d ago (Edited 642d 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_B643d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius642d ago (Edited 642d ago )

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

XbladeTeddy642d ago

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

Yi-Long642d 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.

XbladeTeddy642d ago

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

MadLad642d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure642d 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.

MadLad639d 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."

Orbilator645d ago

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

Duke19645d 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

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."
