My question is if this can also bring the AI for things like police, to an expected level, where they will actually go after you for running red lights etc
Agreed. But im probably still going to really enjoy it. Something about it has me hyped!

That really bums me out. The restrictions on speeding are what set the previous two apart from everything else.Limited car damage, completely gotten rid of traffic rules (which admittedly was pretty much gone in Mafia 2 besides speed limits anyway) and even the "sim" setting for driving looks more arcady than GTA V.
Edit:
Hmmm maybe there's hope afterall.

That I am not sure of.
Ign only mentioned sim like driving handling, reduced aim assist and tougher combat.

The framerate looks choppy as hell while driving. Hoping it's just my phone. The soundtrack is too good to be a bad performing game!

interested in seeing how the "racist" mechanic works. I'm going to every rich white neighbourhood to walk around just to piss people off

I think a big part of that section of the footage is 2K provided B-roll, and it gives a good idea of what the combat is. Looks swift and weighty to me, with some solid hit feedback and damn near Euphoria tier death reactions.

And if it matches Mafia 1 it will be incredible.
I think with the way the open world has been created, it's already past it. The dense open world activities already make New Bordeaux so much more than just the back drop of Empire Bay. If the narrative works, it'll be one of the best open world games for me personally.
Now we're talking! Nothing comes close.

Yeah, I love that animation too. It makes the combat feel really cinematic.
In the first gameplay videos they released I was already impressed by the brutal animations but I know I saw some repeating ones. In the 2 hour video released today it boggled my mind when I saw him blasting dudes from shoulder to shoulder and they reacted to every shot. He was having people wiggling all over the place!

I also like how when you get set on fire it only sets aflame the body part that touched the it and Lincoln just walks through it like a badass.

Terrible framerate, tiny map, yeesh.
Great post!
Mafia 3 looks like a game space that isn't wholly modal, avoiding making the experience either following a linear, scripted story or playing around in an unconnected open-world, instead offering nice balance between the two. Neat that they're still offering simulation-based driving.
The narrative sounds really strong this time around, especially since the story will change based on how you handle your lieutenants, even letting you go so far to kill them off.

The framerate i could understand? but the map size? lol Mafia 2 wished it had this size of a map.

I just watched the 20 minute video from the PS4 Access, they went from one part to another of the map in minutes. I don't mind a smaller map if the density is good, but I'm not seeing that here.

Sold me on the game. Driving controls are on point. Man this and WatchDogs2 I am in open world heaven. My favorite type of action game.
Going coast to coast in GTA V only takes minutes, too. There's tons of variety in New Bordeaux, including a canal system that runs under the entire city, and an absolutely massive bayou to explore.

Playstation Access says the police tail you if you run a red light:

Am I the only one that's going to miss the speed limits?

Just started watching it and the driving really bums me out.
the car accelerates so fast it just looks awkward, like arcade racing with "catch up" mode enabled the way he goes from slow to fast, there's no sense of acceleration or build up to the car (at least the first car).
I really wish they'd tell us what the "simulation" option does exactly.
I loved Mafia I cause unlike GTA it made driving in of itself fun and exciting. When you needed to chase someone or wanted to get somewhere fast you knew that doing so would draw attention and you couldn't just barrel around all willy nilly. It made those moments when you did all the more exciting because you weren't just given a free ride to drive like a maniac with 0 consequences.
I hope the sim options makes cars control more sim like, puts back in traffic laws, etc.
The actual world design, on foot combat and other elements look great. I just wish it would have stuck with the more sim focused style driving.

Is it me or is the game too bright? Like someone turned up the gamma. Frame rate looked rough on PS4. I am looking forward to it.

GTA III did it first, maybe even earlier GTA I'm not sure ^^
But very cool that's awesome.

Yeah but you had to drive to a place to do it. In Mafia 3 you can do it on the fly.

Playboy magazines are returning that's all I needed to hear.
You can choose simulation driving mode, and they showed it off on IGN, and it still looks very arcady.
I don't follow this at all. I do not understand...
This won't happen. There's no traffic rules at all anymore, and no ticketing either, or bribing.

So lame.
I would say New Bordeaux looks very dense and alive though.

Everyone I heard talk about the driving said the cars felt heavy and took challenge to maneuver. They definitely can't just whip around corners all will nilly cause I saw one channel slide into a crash GTA IV style while trying to powerslide around a corner. When the driving camera follows the car even when it is just making small movements it can give the impression that driving is arcady.

Nothing about what Ubisoft has shown of WD2 has been a lie. 100% all they've shown is the alpha of the final game. This isn't r/gaming or youtube.
