Mafia III [PC, PS4, XBone] - Playboy out of 10

[Prey]

Mafia 3 is in development for Xbox 720 (codename Durango) and PlayStation 4.

That's according to the 2K insiders close to Eurogamer.cz, who claim the next chapter in the gangster series will release at the end of 2013.

The 2K Czech sequel was originally planned for Xbox 360 and PS3, the report claims, but the studio decided to switch development over to next-gen consoles last summer.

The Mafia II dev is also rumoured to be contributing to the development of Grand Theft Auto V in the animation area.

2K Games has yet to comment on the rumour.

A new game in the Mafia series could be announced "very soon", judging by tweets from one of the series' voice actors.

Rick Pasqualone, who played protagonist Vittorio 'Vito' Scaletta in Mafia 2, told a Twitter user earlier this week that he "might have some Mafia news very soon".

"Might have some exciting news very soon," he told another asking him to make Mafia 3.

2K has yet to announce a third game in the Mafia series, despite long-running rumours

I really hope thats real, fucking love me some more Mafia games!!

Plus a new Hidden & Dangerous would be very welcome...

I was a bit disapointed with mafia 2, it just didnt have the panache of the first game at all for me. The story seemed to be boiling along nicely then it all got rushed at the end and it was over in a flash.

[Snowy]

Aye agree with that - it was so nicely done too, but then suddenly... BOSH, you are finished.

[Animalmother]

True enough, the ending was a bit naff now that I think of it. I also hated how they interfered with the ending of the first game in 2, that was one of the most memorable game endings ever.

Spoiler: show

I mean the old man watering his garden bit, not the shootout

Still though, a new game spanning the 60's and 70's would be great.

What I really liked about Mafia 2 was the the time change. Despite being only 8 years so much changed. Loved everything about mafia 2 apart from the ending like everyone else. Like Jez said, rushed.

I have no problems playing a Mafia 3.

Sounds pretty great actually.

Eurogamer were a bit less positive.

From both pieces it does sound like the series is moving more towards your generic open-world type game.

[Jez]

Well witcher 3 has shown the rest of the industry how you can have open world but compelling story driven gameplay. It's not magic or voodoo or conjuction of the planets type stuff...it comes down to quality of the content from side missions to locations of interest etc etc with a large dollop of quality of care and detail in the setting the game takes place in.

It's that simple really.

I've bought Mafia two and still yet to play it....


Don't you dare come and beat me up.


Unless it's next saturday

It's not a patch on the first game.
