2K has stood from the beginning in this Gamescom 2016. Impressive Stand which has led to the fair to present Mafia III, set partly in its Sandbox video game Star without leaving aside its sports productions, he has fallen in love with both the press and the general public.
In the area of business happens, as on many occasions, of equal form. A Stand with bar included, set in the time which develops Mafia III, serves as a prelude to the slots reserved for presentations closed each title. And so only entering in the of the title that us occupies, decorated carefully with objects daily, armchairs, shelving, televisions of the time and all type of props similar, already you das has of that are to something big.
And it best is that all this not serves for sweetening a presentation of a game to medium gas, without polishing and even by demonstrate their worth; nothing more far from the reality. The title programmed by Hangar 13 (new branch of 2 K Czech) evolves to steps fast as shows the demo Hands-off with which us has glowing 2 K Games. Mafia III is mature, not is goes with contemplations, makes gala of an address dramatic of first level and in its facet playable surprises by its spectacular, its careful atmosphere and its fluidity. He game is makes large, baby without contemplations of the latest productions of Rockstar (GTA V and Max Payne by put two examples clear) and us arrive to excite in this sense until the point of that, rather than never, seems a title of it own Rockstar.
Mafia III evolves, cares for its staging in graphic detail, makes gala of a cover system and action more colorful that never (leaving scraps that lead us to recall the recent Uncharted 4) and presents as if it were a series of HBO or Netflix. Long ago my colleague and friend press Antonio López (currently working on laPS4.com) defined by Rockstar as the HBO of video games: Mafia III could come within this description, and it shows the fact that Rockstar is part of 2 K, and much.
Mafia III, action in the heart of a fictitious New Orleans
Lincoln Clay, veteran of the war of Viet Nam, is mixed to them bones in a world of corruption, interests, respect, murder and conspiracies set in the New Bordeaux of the years 60 late. With its own organization in budding, directed by he same and supported by Cassandra, Burke and the protagonist of the previous game of the saga (Vito rundown), is embarks in a trip of revenge and redemption to parts equal.
During the demonstration we witness behind closed doors is showed us a tune driving system, where the physics of vehicles have been improved, and a city much more alive and full of details that never in the saga. Graphic level, the lighting, the number of objects on display, the intelligent use of Motion Blur, Ambient Oclussion, volumetric particle effects, reflections of the city in bright bodywork of the cars of the era, as well as the animation of the characters onstage once abandoned their horses of four wheel are sublime.
During the video the facial expressions, the textures that have been treated surfaces such as skin, the fabrics used for apparel or costumes of the characters are very surprising for an open world game.
Already in the middle of the action inside the building led by the murderous Tony Derazio hood, Lincoln moves through the plants of the same sowing chaos with automatic weapons, pistols, and shotguns, without neglecting the cuffs and keys to neutralize through combat melee enemies that approach too. All kinds of auctions sweeten a forcefulness not suitable for minors, riddled with action of contextual situations where our enemies can finish neutralized against a wall, against the varied furnishings of the building or through a glass that separates two business trips. You do not reveal how it ends the mission, but if you can anticipate that, while entering the Lincoln building has a little used stealth (at least at the beginning of the same), the kid is an uncle of weapons take.
And if what concerns you is that Mafia III is going to become a monotonous and routine title, I anticipate that the variety of weapons, situations, modes of facing each mission and meticulous narrative competes directly with a very diverse city, divided into many districts where we will visit the underworld of the city, neon lights plagued neighborhoods where prostitution the game and crime are shared the limelight. The center of the full State of skyscrapers and spectacular monuments, or the swampy area where the crimes are multiplying every day. Without a doubt, Mafia III is the game’s most anticipated by thousands of players open world: reasons not missing, that no doubt us.
