Τουλαχιστον εχουμε τις ημερομηνιες

Εντάξει, λογικό είναι να τα σπρώχνουν προς τα τέλη του έτους. Όταν έχουν ανακοινωθεί τόσα και τόσα ΑΑΑ παιχνίδια για το πρώτο τρίμηνο-τετράμηνο και αναγκάζεται ολόκληρη Capcom να τραβά πίσω τις παραγωγές της, είναι πολύ φυσιολογικό κάθε εταιρεία να θέλει να αποφύγει το άμεσο κοντράρισμα που θα της κόψει πωλήσεις.

 

Δεν πειράζει όμως, τέτοιου είδους καθυστερησούλες θα επιτρέψουν στις εταιρείες να έχουν πιο "polished" τα παιχνίδια τους και στην τελική αυτό θα λειτουργήσει υπέρ μας.

Mafia II: “No Other Open World City Comes Close”

 

In an interview with IncGamers, the game’s senior producer Denby Grace emphasised that as well as having a strong narrative, on a technical level, Mafia II will stand out from the competition.

 

“As well as the story, the level of detail and realization of the world really is an amazing technical achievement for the team here at 2K Czech,” said Grace.

 

“No other open world city comes close with the texture quality, attention to detail and destructibility of our environments.”

Mafia II’s Combat Inspired By Gears Of War/Uncharted

 

In an interview with IncGamers, 2K’s Denby Grace stressed that the team worked hard to make sure that all aspects of gameplay work well in the open world crime sequel.

 

“On a gameplay level, Mafia II really pushes the envelope,” said Grace.

 

“We have really honed our gun play mechanics against games such as GOW2 and Uncharted making them the benchmark we set for ourselves for our combat encounters and it shows; Mafia II really stands out in this area.”

 

Grace went on to say that the quality of open world titles suffers when the developer concentrates on providing a wide range of gameplay options.

 

“Usually in an open world game, the focus is on a really wide scope of delivering lots of stuff, more often than not to a lower quality than you’d expect in say a third-person action game,” he said.

 

“With Mafia II, we looked at the goals for the project and really identified what was important to the game. So, we actually narrowed our scope where mechanics are concerned and picked our battles, driving and gunplay being on top on our priority list as far as the gameplay is concerned.”

 

Stay tuned for the full interview with Denby Grace later this week.

Take-Two Delays Mafia II Again

Title slips into company's fiscal fourth quarter.

 

During Take-Two's fiscal 2010 first quarter financial call this afternoon, the company announced Mafia II, originally planned to ship in May, has been delayed to the company's fiscal fourth quarter, which begins on August 1, 2010 and ends on October 31, 2010.

 

Take-Two delayed Mafia II last year to allow for more development time.

 

The title will ship along with several other major titles in the quarter, which includes L.A. Noire, Max Payne 3, and Sid Meier's Civilization V, though Take-Two noted one of these titles may slip into its fiscal 2011 year.

Μας έκοψες την όρεξη...

[Sir Pretender]

Η βλακεία είναι ότι καθυστερούν όλα αυτά τα παιχνίδια, όχι για κανέναν άλλο λόγο αλλά διότι θέλουν να εξισταθμίσουν τα έσοδα/έξοδα το τρέχον και το επόμενο οικονομικό έτος! Έτσι βέβαια, ελπίζουμε να αφιερωθεί περισσότερος χρόνος στην ανάπτυξη αλλά και πάλι...

 

Ααααργκ!

Mafia II - Boom Boom Trailer

Mafia II lasts 15 hours, says 2K

 

Mafia II producer Denby Grace has revealed the 50’s-gangster title will last up to 15 hours.

 

“So we’ve had to do that, but the English fits fine. It’s one disc. The experience is 15 hours, so it’s not too bad. But the scope is pretty huge, the script’s like 600 pages; 160,000 words; 300 speaking characters. It’s huge, but it fits on a disc.”

 

Mafia II was recently delayed until Q4 of this year, with a new trailer released last week to boot. But Grace insists it was down to “polish” to the game a little more.

 

“The reason for the delay is polish. You’ll see the game looks great as you play today. It’s just not quite perfect, which is what we at 2K generally strive for.

 

“It’s what we want to be known for, the quality of our games. Just having come so long, it would be foolish to release it too early.”

Mafia II Exclusive Hands-On - Driving, Open-World Exploration, and Cover-to-Cover Shooting

 

While the original Mafia was a challenging and underrated cult classic that told the tale of a crime drama in 1930s America, Mafia II will be a sequel that takes place in a bigger, postwar world with faster cars, bigger guns, and much higher stakes. We took a second look at the upcoming sequel by watching a demonstration of part of the early game and then playing through a level that takes place about halfway through it. We stole cars, got into fistfights, bribed the police, fought through a vicious gun battle, and even picked up a girlie magazine along the way. And we have much to report. Please be advised that this story may contain minor spoilers...

Mafia II releasing in August

 

Take Two’s announced it’s releasing 2K Czech’s Mafia II in the US on August 24, with an international release on August 27.

 

The game will be playable at PAX East this week.

 

The game has been delayed several times since it was announced back in 2007 – most recently being earlier this month – so a set-in-stone date will bring relief to those watching progress.

 

Producer Denby Grace revealed to VG247 at GDC two weeks ago that 2K was “definitely looking” at DLC for the game, although wouldn’t get into specifics.
