People should be way more hyped for this game. This game looks so much better than GTA4 which was hyped beyond belief. I especially love the setting of the late 40s and the characters lookpretty interesting as well. Anyone else excited?

Some gameplay vids (kinda old): LINKand LINK

They are totally different. All Godfather games have been bad but the first Mafia was really good

Yes I know that. But I get the same feeling when I see the game.

I was hyped when 1st saw it, it's suppose to come out around May-July, and after loving the 1st game, I'm hoping they'll improve it too.

Nothing like the God Father games at all. Actually if I recall the first Mafia title on PC was a good game. As for me I'm looking forward to Mafia 2.

Looks good. I wonder if any of this game will take place in Sicily? Would be cool since I am Sicilian, and the american mafia of the 20s have roots in Sicily.

All things considered, I enjoyed the first Godfather game a lot. It wasn't an amazing experience, but it did a good job of capturing the feel of the movie in game form.

Unlike the godfather games. Mafia 1 was a fantastic game.

HOw is this a sleeper hit? It's a sequel to a fantastic game. Expectations should automatically be that it's going to be good. Commercial success wise it's more of a dark horse for flying under the radar. Sleeper Hit is more out of left field, kind of like no one saw it coming.

Demon's Souls is a sleeper hit pre-eurogamer review. No one had expected much from that game, then the EUrogamer review came out and the entire hype around that game changed.

Oh dear god Champ you've got them wrong.

Sleeper hit is a measure of its commercial success.

Dark horse is the left field.

Dark horse = odd one out. Basically, it's the horse that wins from out of nowhere at the races. A 'hit' is when something comes out with a bang. So what's a sleeper hit? Something which takes a while to get the ball rolling. It's a commercial thing.

Man, I should resign from GUFU following this -_-. Utter fail.

you should also come entertain me on IRC. I'm bored out of my mind and don't wanna go back to bed :(.


Also in my defense, you like public enemies, that horrible new zealand rapper you linked once(I still won't forgive this), and one more noteable offense against male alliance code says we're not even close to tied on the fail you're leading the field and lapping them in this race of fail.

and either way it's not going to be sleeper hit either, it wouldn't be unexpected of the game to get commercial success. It just also isn't a dark horse :P

It takes place in a fictional city in the fifties I believe. Hot damn, I just slapped a GTX 260 in my PC yesterday. I'm ready for the PC version.

really? one of the church's in the trailer made me think it was 50s new york or something. Everyone else would complain with that setting, but I never do :) Although Chicago would be a great setting as well.

Yes I love Public Enemies, and I can write such a damn good defense about it that could shut kings and vagabonds up.

The NZ rapper I linked was just that; an NZ rapper I linked. NZ rap sucks, has always sucked, and probably will continue to suck as long as we have this accent.

Whatever this male alliance code is, I'm way above it. I'm alpha male, and y'all can just have your male alliance code and try impress each other over the scraps and what not.

Nevertheless, you want me on IRC. You totally need to man up :D

This will be the best sandbox game of 2010 (if GTA5 isn't announced...).

Can't wait for a firm release date.

Yeah, I remember in the dev walkthrough (which was pretty cool) awhile back they said it was an amalgamation of New York and Chicago, or something like that. I believe the first one was like that also.

I loved the first Mafia on PC :D. It was always ahead of GTA concerning visuals and combat I think. Mafia II is one of my most anticipated titles this year. Though it's not being discussed as much because there's something called "info droughts" lol. And "multiplatform".

So, its about an immigrant who gets caught up in crime. Up... As for it being better than GTAIV, nothing will come close to the level of detail that was in GTAIV, at least this gen, but we will have to see. Just hope there arent any stupid traffic rules in this version.

My sandbox hype is still on Red Dead Redemption, when it comes to Sandbox Game of The Year. :D
