xXSkillerXx Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Mafia II is an upcoming 2009 sandbox-style third-person shooter video game which is the sequel to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven. It is being developed by 2K Czech, previously known as Illusion Softworks,and will be published by 2K Games. Mafia 2 was announced in August 2007 at the Leipzig Games Convention.The game will be set in the 1940s and '50s in Empire City, a fictional city based on San Francisco and New York City.The name is a reference to New York's state nickname "The Empire State".Mafia 2 will be available for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. Gameplay The player can learn about recent news between 1945 and the early 1950s. The game will feature a completely open-ended game map of 10 square miles. No restrictions are included from the start of the game. The fictional Empire City is based on both New York City and San Francisco. Many small arms from the previous game will make a return, for example the Thompson M1928, the Colt 1911 and a pump action shotgun. As seen in screenshots, new WWII-era weapons like the MP40 and the M3 Grease Gun will make an appearance in the game as well as the MG42. Interacting with objects in the environment involves two action buttons- a standard action and a "violent" action, used in context-sensitive situations. A map will be included as in the original Mafia game. The checkpoint system has been completely overhauled. It has been made clear by 2K Czech that the cutscenes are done in the game world and in real time, rather than pre-rendered cutscenes. Synopsis Mafia 2 is a gritty drama which chronicles the rise of Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicilian immigrants. As the game progresses, Vito will join a crime family and become "a made man." The game will include multiple situations where the player can decide the outcome and their choice will lead to one of several different endings. The story begins with the player character Vito returning home on leave from World War II. Vito had joined the U.S. military as a way of avoiding jail time for a botched robbery. Vito reunites with his old friend, Joe Barbaro, and the two quickly embark upon a life of crime. Their criminal ascension starts with Mikey, a car mechanic who gets in a conflict with Joe. Mikey also needs a certain type of car to chop for parts, and will pay $400 for one that the police are not tailing. Soon enough, Vito, Joe, and Henry Tomasino (already a made man) find themselves battling with, for, against, and around three crime factions: the Falconi, Vinci and Clemente families. The player is later introduced to Eddie Scarpa (a capo in one of the three crime families) The game will contain two hours of in-game cutscenes. The original game, Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, had a screenplay of 400 pages, opposed to the 700 pages of the sequel. Daniel Vávra, the writer and director of the original and the sequel, discussed the new angle of the game stating: "The old game was a tribute to gangster movies, a romantic vision. Mafia 2 is grittier, real, a darker world, and the effects are based in reality." The Official Playstation Magazine states: "A high body count is still promised in this tale set in a fictional city 'inspired by' New York of the 1940s and '50s, but those casualties will come the hard way -- through small-scale operations rather than mass firefights."
