| I saw a developer interview with it a few weeks ago. They had some rough game play video attached with it. I loved the first one, really outclassed GTA 3 at the time (in some ways), but after playing GTA4 and RDR, I feel as if mafia is a generation behind in some respects.
I hope I am wrong!

I loved the first one, the engine and storyline was so much better than GTA3.. I'm hoping they don't disappoint on this release.

Hell yeah. I played the first Mafia game a whileee ago and it was very fun.. reminds me a little bit of GTA but not too much.
Mafia 2 should be sweet considering the screenshots.. I'm assuming it'll be somewhat like GTA, but more focused on the storyline than anything else.
I'll probably be pre-ordering it soon.

Mafia was the best game for its time.
Hopefully they don't screw up the sequel like most producers have the tendency to do so. |

I personally can't wait..I'll probably order it on Steam..Steam makes life alot easier.
As for GTA 4 VS Mafia 2..I think Mafia 2s world looks more alive

And I can't believe the perfect timing I did on my first computer build so I'll actually be able to play this game at probably max settings.
Wish they would release the system requirements though. |

lookin at trailers on Steam, their graphic is pretty darn good with the whole documentary-style cinematography...
Mafia2, however, have good physics, great polygon counts, but texture looks like Mafia1 from the trailer..... and cinematography is "nothing new" in my book.

And not sure what you are getting at by talking about cinematography? |

guess i shouldnt say texture looks the same. its different, of course. its better, oh yes.
but it looks... similar. better, but nothing new. great motions and fx, sure....
but lemme just put it this way: one glance, and i can tell its a video game. a great looking video game.
cinematography... well... its great. it looks like a (cartoon) movie with top-notch storyline (from the trailers anyway). its definitely great if ur comparing it to other video games. (if not the best storytelling)
but would you pay a movie ticket to watch a movie based on the ingame rendering mixed in with cutscenes? (which kinda look like the same details as ingame anyway)
i wouldnt. i'd watch it on TV, sure. heck, maybe even rent the DVD. but it sure doesnt pass as a "summer action-flick blockbuster" for me.
all-in-all, it looks like a much much better Mafia-1. but nothin jaw-dropping.
K&L2, however... if u mix the ingame with cutscenes (with all the documentary-artistic-weird videography styles) and make it as a movie....
...well i still wouldnt pay for it LOL... but if theyr both movies, and i gotta pick one, then ill watch K&L....
its more... "immersive".
(ps: funny i took movie-making as analogy coz there IS a kane&lynch movie coming out that i will NOT watch... coz they cast Jamie Foxx as Lynch......................)

my (personal) verdict: better. nothing more. |

Of course it looks similar..its made by the same developer and they brought the old style atmosphere back again.
And for saying it brings nothing new to the table..how do you even know that? Have you personally played it? And for the comment on it looking like a "cartoon" made me giggle. Its a freaking video game, what do you expect the game to look like? A movie? Then you go on talking about the cutscenes which you haven't experienced either besides the few shots they have released and comparing it to a movie or something, god only knows what you are talking about ..I think you are taking the whole thing a bit umm serious?
As far as K&L..the first one sucked, and if you are going to compare one of these 2 games to a movie..then you can compare K&L to the movie called "Heat" And I would bet on it that the 2nd game will have bits stolen from other movies to.
But yea, whatever don't buy it, but it.. I personally don't care. |

Come on, if you install Mafia 1 again, you'll see that the graphics are outdated now. The textures are extremely blurry by modern standards (low res).
And how can you even judge Mafia 2 with low res youtube videos? It doesn't do it justice. |

i did say im only judging by the trailers, and no, im not taking anything seriously.
i just didnt really got "blown away" by the trailers and screenshots..... BUT i like the game anyway.
K&L-1 i like. if u dont like it, fine. but (perhaps) since i do like it, i like the trailers and screenshots of the 2nd one too.
thats why im abit torn on buying either of those 2 games. that's all. |
