For what it's worth, the 2K studio making this (Hangar 13), has the director of Star Wars 1313 on it, and some ex-Telltale folk it seems. The idea of a branching narrative Mafia intrigues me, if that's where this goes.
Mafia 1 and 2 are fantastic. I'd love to see more from Vito & Joe so I hope this carries on from the slight cliffhanger at the end of 2.
Mafia 2 felt like it had a lot of trouble during development which impacted the final game. Mafia 1 will remain one of my favourite games evern, I hope they can capture that magic again.
It did but is no longer available on Steam.Did Mafia I release on Steam? I got the second game but I don't want to miss out on the story of the first game .

The first one is a classic.Can't say I ever played any of the Mafia games. The perception I got from reviews and impressions was that it was a pretty average yet slightly enjoyable game but nothing special. Kinda of a B-Movie game like Just Cause was. Didn't realise there was a demand for it?
IIRC there was a rumor that there are 3 playable characters. Not sure if this was debunked.
Gamescom reveal, I'm guessing.

edit: I thought this was done by 2K San Francisco? Or is Hangar 13 == 2K San Francisco?
One of the voice actors hinted at a reveal recently. My money's on Gamescom, too, since Mafia II was a big hit in Europe.

Wait 2k Czech aren't making this? They haven't put out a game in years. Seems weird they'd be left out of their franchise if they're not seemingly working on anything.
well the main brains behind Mafia 1 quit 2K Czech during Mafia2 development(disagreements about 2K cuts) and founded Warhorse studiosWait 2k Czech aren't making this?

Why would that be weird though? Many of the teams members had huge problems with the game director and the development wasn't smooth at all.Wait 2k Czech aren't making this?

I can imagine it cost Take-Two extra to call in the GTA guys to help them out by the end of development, because they couldn't finish it themselves.
There were debates about who were doing it in the last couple of threads and it sounded like what it is left of 2K Czech might be doing it - they worked on it previously so it would make sense
Didn't their financial report suggest that they'll have a major new game out before the end of March? Seems like a quick turnaround if they're going to announce it later this year; of which I approve.
I thought that was Xcom?
Announcing it directly after E3 shows a lack of faith, no? Let's see what crawls out of development hell.
This isn't Rockstar. It is Take-Two.Rockstar basically doesn't reveal any games at E3 anyway so that gives no pointers towards it.
