What we want in MAFIA III

Today as you may know was revelaed trailer for Mafia III. I'm super excited about it because I'm a huge fan of franchise, here in Czech Republic, reveal of next Mafia is like christmas, everybody is talking about it and in this article, I will write down stuff that I want in Mafia III.

Solved cliffhanger in Mafia II

Many of you, non-Czech guys probably dont know what hapenned at the end of Mafia II development. Main story writer - Daniel Vávra left the 2K Czech and that is why Mafia II ends so sudenly, back then, studio didn't have resources to finish the game so they released it with a half story. I was expecting that Mafia III won't be about Vito Scaleta, main protagonist from previous game, and I think it is better that there is new character. I have strong feeling that if there was still Vito as main character, Mafia III wouldn't be so interesting. But what is most interesting is that 2K United Kingdom on his Twitter account said that guy in suit on the right side of Lincoln Clay in trailer is actually Vito Scalleta.

I was staring at picture of guy from trailer and Vito Scaleta for like 15 minutes and there are some similarities. In 1968, Vito would be 43 years old, check his eyes and also check a little scar near chin. It is really interesting theory, I hope it is true, that we at some point get to know how Mafia II ended and that is probably the best way how to handle the Mafia II cliffhanger.

Story

Story is based on African-American problem that was in New Orleans in 1960's. Our main character Lincoln Clay has returned from Vietnam War and started creating own family in New Orleans. Story can be really anything, setup is alreday great, I mean, New Orleans, Vietnam War, 1960's. I just hope that there will be some levels from Vietnam, like flashbacks or intro as it was in Mafia II. It would be great to start story in Vietnam, how Lincoln returned from war to New Orleans and then setting up family and dealing with bussines.

Gameplay

Gameplay should be same as in Mafia II, I hope that they will create same driving model as in Mafia II because back there it was great model. Also bring us more car costumization, character costumization and even house costumization. It would be also great if Mafia III would be real opne world, where you can do whatever you want between story missions, and that also brings me to what we want to do in open world?

There would be great if we could manage our family, like recruit somebody, manage our parts of city, deal with other criminals. If the driving model will be good we definitely want some racing.

Weapons

We are in 1968, there can be anything as weapon. From Colt 1911 to Rocket Launchers, there would be aslo cool to have all sorts of melee weapons, to just beat some rival gang members and there should be definitely larger variety of weapons then in Mafia II.

Graphics

Mafia franchise was always ahead in graphics, first Mafia looks great even now, same is Mafia II and if these Mafia III screenshots are unedited and captured in game, I don't have anything to say, these screenshots looks amazing.

Summary

My expectations about Mafia III are height. Mafia always have power to compete with GTA, if Mafia III will be great game, it can easily compete with GTA V. Hangar 13, new studio under 2K is now under eye of whole gamer community in Czech Republic and many others arround the world. I'm very excited about it and I'm also happy that they didn't throw Mafia licence away and that they saw potential in franchise and doing it.
