Mafia II hype thread! *current hype 9.0*

Are you ready to become a mademan?

Story and characters video

"Boom Boom" trailer




So far, shaping up to be great. Sleeper hit of 2010 anyone?

9.0 at GameSpot is MY prediction!

It looks great from what I've seen, so I expect a 8.0-9.0.

no love for mafia 2? where are all the goodfellas and godfather fans? :(

It's a multiplat, the fanboys don't have an incentive to hype it to death. :(

Arkham Asylum sold really well. Trouble with SW if its not exclusive or has a big difference between the versions not many people will really care.

The Collector's edition looks nice, I think I might get it. :)

[QUOTE="SAGE_OF_FIRE"] It's only very slightly smaller then gta4's but it's supposed to be way more detailed. I'm hyping it a 9.0 or higher. positivebalance

When it gets closer to August people will start to hype this, anyone that played the first on PC knows the potential this game has. Remember, Red Dead Redemption wasn't hyped up util about a month before its release and that was mostly because of the new gamplay that was shown then. After E3 when people see more of this I have a feelng that the hype train will get going.

Thats a first day buy for me..

Well be buying, hoping for AAA.

glad to see everyone is hyping it AAA :D

Isn't it a kinda bit early for a hype thread?shakmaster13

This might seriously convince me to get it, loved Mafia 1.

Still might just play Red Dead and GTA Episodes some more too. :p

I cant wait for this game, the first MAFIA on pc was simply amazing.

hope they have the same awesome music back again!

Playin GTA :p

Imo Mafia 1 >>> any GTA game up to this date , so yeah I'm hyped for the new Mafia game :)

[QUOTE="shakmaster13"]Isn't it a kinda bit early for a hype thread?positivebalance

This is a definite must buy for me, so you know I'm gonna hype it AAA. :D

Map is like 1/3 of GTA IV

I absolutely can't wait for this game. I played the first one on PS2 and loved it even though it was a much inferior version. This go around I will be getting for my PC.

I grew up on mafia movies like Goodfellas and the like so this is right up my alley. My hype for it: 8.5 or 9.

I definitely predict an 8.0. I'm not trying to play it safe, either. From the gameplay videos I've seen, the game looks "great," but not "superb."

Well, I loved the original and hoping for 9.0, it should be an easy 9.0 if they improve upon the original too.

I hope it's good, but since I only played the original on Xbox, and not the PC, I'm not holding my breath. On the consoles the original Mafia was squarely mediocre. My opinion of course.getyeryayasout

The combat looks utterly mundane. And since that's likely what the majority of the gameplay will consist of...I dunno. Hopefully other aspects of the game will elevate the experience sufficiently. I'm going with an 8.0.

That's a pretty crappy looking Collector's Edition by the way.
