Mafia III hitting PS4, Xbox 720 - Report

Mafia 2 although good was a Major Disapointment. I just hope this one is better and that they don't rush it out.

Mafia 2 was so much less than it could have been and should have been, especially since the shooting was so satisfying.  I just wish there was more to do in that game.

I am playing Mafia II atm (I am actually alt tabbed out of the game, looking up help on a shoot out sequence!) and I gotta say, this game is amazing! The game looks amazing (not new obviously) and though the story is one we have all seen a hundred times, I love the characters and the setting anyway. I could keep going but you get it. Awesome game and I am very glad to hear it's third iteration  is coming along

Oh sweet jesus thank you! I am so glad this game is in development. Mafia II was incredible.

PC!!!!

 @vodoo YOU r right and i absolutely agree with your point i can afford the luxury as i am an addictive gammer but i was talking for every body who has to play and have rights to play .i will definitely buy xbox 720 if it goes a total hit but for now i just bought psvita so no budget for it in comming 2 to 3 years .glad to hear that they will still be making games on xbox 360 :).maybe i said a little too much for years .and i m not crying just my point of view thats all .i m definitely looking forward to this new gen console :)

They should remake mafia 1 with mafia 2 graphics.

pc, wiiU,anyone ?

Hope it's not half-baked and rushed out like Mafia 2 was. Just playing it, you could tell huge portions of the game were missing.. from the railway network to tons of plot holes.

thats....video is.........mafia 2 not 3......

So Mafia III is finally confirmed (PC gamer here so don't really care if it's on current gen or next gen consoles), I just can't believe it. Mafia II was incredibly close to perfection, all it needed was more side missions, more reasons for the player to explore the world and blind fire in the cover system and that's more than enough for me. Really hope they add those things in Mafia III. I also hope they complete Vito's story somehow because the end was very mysterious (hopefully in a cool way like they did with Tommy Angelo's).

nice to hear :)

i BELIEVE this... expect the ps4 part! Mafia is one of the best IPs around and it goes to show that they're not burning this title down to the ground.

And here we go with another game that gives a bad image to video games in general. I say we just make two classes, one for video games, the other for gangster, murderer and criminal simulation training so that M games don't ruin what would otherwise be an enjoyable form of entertainment.

Also, put blind-fire in Mafia, please. Then the cover-based shooting system is complete.

Mafia 2 has the best, most movie-like story I have ever seen in a game.

Hey, 2K - Next Gen is already here, it's called PC, you can dumb down the game later on to meet whatever outdated hardware the "next gen" consoles will have by then.

You better not screw it up again on your next title with copy protection that makes the game unplayable - After having paid for your product and the addons and then have it crashing due to your DRM I had to rely on a "scene release" which works flawlessly (as your release should have).

Please don't do that again, I want to pay for good games (which Mafia 1 and 2 were) but when your copy protection / piracy prevention breaks the game then my decision to buy one of your products again is diminished.

Take Mafia 2, remove the DRM, add more freeroam / open world aspects to it (extortion, smuggling, operating and protecting various franchises, multiple "families" running the city and its businesses and competing with each other, etc.) and your game will sell like candy.

But keep the DRM or worsen it or make it an MMO (which seems to be a trend currently) and I'll leave and never look back.

i liked Mafia 2, it was just diferent enough to keep me interested, looking forward to this

sold :)

be interesting to see the dynamics of it. The second was different enough to keep me interested and some good gun and hide mechanics.

Mafia 2 was epic , i wanted to played the 3d one on My 360, and now i am gonna have to get it for PC :(

interesting. hopefully there's more to do in the 3rd game, as the world was beautiful but barren last time.

not a big fan of  Mafia 2 ... hope the third one is better

Who really cares? So a franchise may have a game for the next-gen. I got a news breaker right here, there will be a GTA, Halo, and a Call of Duty game for the new gen of gaming. It seems to me that this Eddie Makuch guy is behind a lot of these pointless articles here.

will bringing out the big times and parties ps4 create jobs ? 2k should have been working on mafia 3 for the ps3 , I don't think digital will save the world anytime soon ! it will just give us a better view of it falling apart !

thats pretty a shame that they annonce a game for two none official  hardware but for about Wii U that coming out in fieu Months and a official one it been leave behind like if it where not a reality. come-on its like starting something for something that have not even been made yet even Sony nor microsoft have nothing for now for thier new hardware

While the second was drawn back by the fact it was an 'open world game' The story and gameplay were great! Running around and getting in the shootouts felt incredible. The weight of each bullet hitting an enemy was.... sickly enjoyable haha. Would love to see another Mafia game and hopefully it will have more open world elements. The series has alot of potential.

nice to hear:)

in enjoyed Mafia 2, I thought the story was great... only problem was that for an open world game there was barely anything to do except collect Playboy magazines and collect some cars for scrap.

I'll be sure to check it out inbetween the GTA's
