Mafia III - 12 minute gameplay demo

ok...i don't know if thats a personal thing between IGN and myself...but i rarely get their player to work at all.
 
Ayy lets see some of dat youtube footage-

The movement and combat looked like it was straight out of Uncharted.

Love the Mafia games. Looks nice.

Hm, interesting. Looks like a fairly competent third person shooter to me. Driving looks fun too, and the city's certainly beautiful.

Looks great to me. People suck...lol.
 
The over-the-top action is too much and unbelievable. So he jumps out of a driving car and smashes it into 2 cars and both explode. It looks ridiculous and takes away from the gravitas of the narrative.

Going to wait for YT, but for those who have watched this do the cars still blow up at the littlest impact? That's what bothered me the most in the last crop of footage that surfaced.
 
Looking really good, those hit reactions on enemies when shot is nice.

(I never have any problems with IGN's player so it's weird so many here struggle with it.)

Yup this is a game series where you're meant to not speed to avoid police attention.
 
At gamescom this year.


And I'm with you, GAF: I just miss the feeling. This looks just some "Ghettoganster"-Stuff like GTA, not true Gangsters with Honor and decency. :/

Not sure how you got that feeling from just that little bit of footage, we haven't seen much narrative stuff yet, unless I've missed it.

They said that car explosions are rigged for the demo purposes.

I don't know what to say to be honest. Setting is awesome and characters look interesting but i still don't feel that Mafia vibe. I don't feel that game is about organized crime.
 
I think they should've stuck with the 40s/50s setting, looks good nonetheless though.

The dev said they've dialed cars blowing up on impact up for this demo, it won't be this extreme in the final game (around the 11:20 minute mark).

I mean the guy says straight up they just wanted to end their gameplay reveal with explosions and shit and that not every car would blow up like that in the release build.

I thought it looked great. Didn't play Mafia but I loved Mafia 2.
 
Loved Mafia 1 and 2, but the gameplay for this is really not sitting well with me. Hoping they are just showing overly action based gameplay for the sake of the IGN crowd
 
man some textures are so low res

Alpha footage most likely, visually convincing if not impressive.

Gameplay is nothing ground-breaking or innovative, I liked Mafia II very much but found it inferior to the first one in pretty much every respect save for technology obviously.

Gotcha. So far the game is looking solid considering the massive issues that may have transpired on the dev side of things. Just hope the gameplay has variety and the story delivers in one way or another.
