That's a damn good price. Wonder if that means anything for how "AAA" or not it is, for lack of better words.

Or perhaps they are afraid it won't sell super well or something? How well did the previous games sell?

Whatever it Takes

Uncover the origins of organized crime in Mafia: The Old Country, a gritty mob story set in the brutal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Fight to survive as Enzo Favara in this immersive third-person action-adventure. Coming August 8th.

 

[Xtib81]

Surprised by the price. Is that a smaller game ?

 

[Chuck Berry]

Man Im loving these $50 releases. Keep em coming please.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[Luipadre]

So its probably gonna be like a 8 hour game. If its like the first 2 im okay with that

 

[Stafford]

The first two were great games. Agreed.

 

[Gripsx]

another banger this year, gonna have to schedule my gaming

 

[R3TRO]

Good price

 

[Gonzito]

It looks good although the graphics were a bit underwhelming? Something is off

 

[Chuck Berry]

Mafia Definitve Edition released at $40 and it was solid 12 hours or more if you went collectible crazy.

This is most likely along the lines of that (linear narrative action with a faux open world city backdrop) and that's totally good with me.

 

[FrankWza]

Padrino Outfit

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Surprised by the price. Is that a smaller game ?

100% yes. I would assume very linear and probably 10-12 hrs. The pessimist in me questions the games overall quality. Take2 is not pro-consumer at all

 

[Cakeboxer]

Fair price, i will reward this with a 20 Euro buy instead of 10.

 

[Metnut]

Was interested but was going to wait for a sale. It's $49.99? Maybe I'll buy day 1.

I'm guessing this is probably a 25-30 hour or so main story, similar to Mafia 1.

 

[Gambit2483]

Something tells me this will be a smaller game than Mafia 3. Though that's not necessarily a bad thing. Will wait for reviews with this one...

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Lets make linear, cheaper games a trend!!!

 

[adamsapple]

Impressive that they're doing a $50 new entry.

 

[KyoZz]

There is another 7 minutes video it's just not public right now. It's a developer insights which go deeper into what to expect from this game.

Waiting for August

Also gotta say between MindsEye and this I'm chowing down hard on these straightforward, non open bloaty, action titles this Summer. Good shit man.

And Gears Reloaded in August too!

 

[Luipadre]

8-10 hours just like the first 2. tbh mafia 3 had like 8 hours of good content in it, the rest was bloat. So its good we back to linear storytelling

 

[HRK69]

I already noticed two things in the first 15 seconds that bother me: a slow walking section and a traversal squeeze

Unfortunately, this trailer just screams mediocrity

 

[LordCBH]

That was an awesome trailer.

 

[Mownoc]

So a linear experience more like the first game and $50. Could be great if it's not too short!

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Wish they would patch the last few titles up to 60fps on newer consoles as I really want to replay all these. Unfortunately they're all still capped at 30fps for some reason.

Definitely going to pick this up.

 

[amigastar]

Ok, we'll see.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Already a better looking Indiana Jones gameplay wise due to 3rd person.

 

[BennyBlanco]

How weird

 

[Nankatsu]

Man Uncharted 5 looks fire.

 

[DeepEnigma]

How weird

So, more Uncharted/Tomb Raider than GTA/AssCreed.

 

[Judge Magister]

I'm glad it's early August, will have time till MGS3∆.

 

[adamsapple]

Not sure why they even called it Mafia, that trailer looked everything but.

 

[FrankWza]

So, more Uncharted/Tomb Raider than GTA/AssCreed.

That's perfect. After DS2 and before GoY would have been a tough spot

 

[Chuck Berry]

Trailer was fire. HYYYYYYPE

Also it 'd be fucking cool if those cinematic kills are included (but doubtful)

 

[rofif]

Seems good

 

[Pop]

60?!??!?

Are they crazy

 

[Critical Hit]

Surprised by the price. Is that a smaller game ?

Looks like it. And there is no real gameplay in the trailer. So, the quality could be AA.

 

[Stafford]

Mafia 1 and 2 were great, 3 not so much. The open world, but especially insane repetitive nature of the gameplay loop ruined it.

The actual story missions like the one on the boat were great but the shit in between? Hell no. If the new one is like 1 and 2 it's go time!

 

[GymWolf]

Gonna wait for a discount, old times mafia story\location is not really my cup of tea, i prefer modern stuff, and i'm not a fan of faux open worlds.

Trailer look good tho.

 

[Xtib81]

Looks like it. And there is no real gameplay in the trailer. So, the quality could be AA.

If anything, the very little we've seen doesn't give me confidence. The gunplay feels a bit off.

 

[Bond007]

Hopefully, linear, shorthish, and sweet.
Im game @ $50 to try this out. Always had some interest in the Mafia series. Maybe i start with the definitive though.

 

[Thief1987]

Looks like dozens of other TPS games, pretty cheap and junky too.

 

[Chuck Berry]

If anything, the very little we've seen doesn't give me confidence. The gunplay feels a bit off.

Feels? You've played it? Dude it looks exactly the same as the first three games i.e. awesome

Hopefully the death animations will be as over the top

Having never played any of the previous games, this was my first time checking it out (Mafia definitive edition) ....while it was ok/good in some ways, I just never felt the "hook" to it, like I did with (some) of the Yakuza games...

 

[Humdinger]

[...] How weird

When he says linear rather than open-world, I believe he's talking about something akin to what you saw in the first two games. Although there were some "open world" elements - more in 2 than 1 - they were awfully limited. There wasn't much interactivity in the world, apart from the driving itself. You could stop at a gun shop, a gas station, a body shop, and a few other places, but that's about it (even less in the first game). It wasn't "open world" except in the sense that you could drive around and do a few minor activities. Almost all of the game was focused on progressing the storyline. No real side content (some via DLC).

I didn't play the third game - I tried, but it didn't interest me - but I believe it was more open-world than the earlier ones. That game did not do so well, so I imagine they are pulling back from that approach and returning to the structure of the first two games. That's how I'm interpreting it, anyhow.

This is good news to me. I am tired of how modern games throw so much "content" at you, as if more was better. I prefer a shorter, more focused, story-driven experience. Appreciate the price point, too.

 

[Critical Hit]

Dude it looks exactly the same

There is no real gameplay in the trailer, we don't know how it really looks yet.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Weird comparison. They're two completely different types of games.

 

[Fbh]

Gameplay looks by the numbers but I love the setting, and the story and characters in these are usually great too.
$50 is a nice surprise too
