PS4Home: "Here’s a list of 8 things you might not know about the newest title in the “Mafia” franchise."
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.
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.
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."
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."
All I know is this should have been about the Irish mob, bootleggers and such... something akin to boardwalk empire.
Replaying through 2 right now and I really feel like that's an underrated game. I would put it up there with the best open world games of last gen because they are actually able to tell a compelling & meaty story with some pretty great voice acting. The driving takes some getting used to but things like the speed limiter make that game more conducive to playing it like a human being rather than a psychopath that is at odds w/ the ideals of the main character, which bolsters the dynamics of the story even more. The soundtrack is also pitch perfect even if it is a little thin.
If the new game ups that soundtrack much more (or if licensing is too costly, devs could curate Spotify playlists that we can play during the game), gives us just a little more mission variety and keeps the rest of the heart of the series intact, I think this will be another great installment in the series, albeit possibly another one that gets looked over in favor of lesser titles. One thing is for certain, no other open world game has gotten period pieces as right as Mafia has.
