Part of me hopes this will ape as much from Casino, Goodfellas and American Hustle as possible. The cars look like cars from the '70s to me.

American muscle cars, definitely from the 60-70 period.

The third character from the left looks like a proper afro hair lady. This would align the game period more with the sixties. Does the image also mean that we will get multiple protagonists, GTAV style?

Either way, hype-hype-hype!

 

[Gloam]

Mafia 2 was fantastic. Can't wait to see what they cook up for M3. I'm hoping for a 1970s setting.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Huh. Cool.

 

[Theorry]

Why should it? Its probably a 2016 game.

You never know these days.

 

[Alienous]

So, I'm getting CO-OP vibes from the image.

Any rumours regarding that?

 

[sammyCYBORG]

Mafia 2 is the ultimate gangster game so I hope this continues the same quality.

 

[Keasar]

Looks to be played out in the 1970s when looking at the cars and doing a quick google search for general car design from the time.

Possible late 60s but I am betting on the 70s.

 

[M.Steiner]

Fuck yeah!
LOVED the Mafia games.

 

[eshwaaz]

The team that made 1 and 2 is no longer intact, correct? Do we know who is developing this?

Let's hope they don't cut all of the side missions/activities to sell as DLC this time. I enjoyed Mafia 2 a lot, but the open world was totally devoid of anything to do, and when all that content came later as paid DLC it really soured the experience.

 

[BluenoseGames]

Why should it? Its probably a 2016 game.

Imagine if Early 2016

If so, Early 2016 is packed.

• Quantum Break
• ReCore
• Uncharted 4
• Mirrors Edge
• The Divison
• Dark Souls 3
• Dishonored 2

and probably more ...

I think Early 2016 would be too soon though, maybe August or September.

 

[Certinty]

YES!!!

Second game was one of the best games last-gen, can't wait for this.

 

[Akai__]

I might be interested in this. Watching the reveal for sure.

 

[Storm Raider]

Yup, this is the game I've been waiting for.

 

[Summer Haze]

YES!

Can't wait to see it. Mafia 2 is one of my favourite games of last gen.

 

[Scotia]

The woman's hair also screams 70s.

First DQ11 and now Mafia 3, this day is fucking amazing!

 

[Lord of Castamere]

I'm hoping, 3 cars front and center = 3 protagonists. More games need to use GTAVs multiple protagonist system.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Platinumed m2 on ps3.

Ready for ps4.

 

[DarKshodaN]

Man, can't wait for it. Hope it's good

 

[Vanguard]

Cannot wait! Loved Mafia 2!

 

[glaurung]

Ready for ps4.

You crazy bugger.

I did not care enough to go after all those posters. How many were there, 200?

 

[Paracelsus]

They really should've tried something about Italy, but the last time someone made a show it hit too close to home and politicians tried to shut it down.

 

[bosseye]

Good news.

Was a big fan of Mafia 1 (I even enjoyed sticking to the speed limits), Mafia 2 was great too.

 

[VE3TRO]

Aww yis.

 

[hobblygobbly]

That's definitely the 70s IMO.

 

[OEM]

Okay was not expecting this. But count me in

 

[jesu]

That's definitely the 70s IMO.

Music should be amazing then!

 

[Summer Haze]

A 60s/70s setting sounds great the more I think about it.

 

[oti]

Mafia II was an awesome game you shouldn't trust people your newborn child if they think otherwise.

 

[Galdius]

Wow, great news. I loved Mafia 2. I hope this one releases soon.

 

[KainXVIII]

Mafia 2 was so inferior to first one, so hype level is minimal.

 

[SparkTR]

Main thing I dislike about the 70's is that it's been done so much before with the Driver series. I hope it's more like the 60's.

 

[Ledhead]

Only ever played Mafia II but enjoyed it a good deal. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the third installment. Also, I agree with above posters who speculate that this takes place in the 70s. Cars look about right

 

[Endo Punk]

Would be interested depending on setting and how well realised it is. 70's would be amazing.

 

[chugen]

JOY IN MY HEART

 

[Kabouter]

Neat, I actually really enjoyed Mafia 2. I loved the transition in time that the game makes about midway through, it was really really well done. Looking forward to seeing what they're doing with this

 

[Hip Hop]

One of my favorite games of last gen was Mafia 2.

Can not wait for this!

 

[dex3108]

Well that picture has Louisiana vibe so leak from few years ago could be true.

 

[SparkTR]

Mafia 2 was so inferior to first one, so hype level is minimal.

To be fair, most games are inferior to Mafia 1.

 

[nin1000]

OMG ! FINALLY!

 

[Akai__]

Neat, I actually really enjoyed Mafia 2. I loved the transition in time that the game makes about midway through, it was really really well done. Looking forward to seeing what they're doing with this

I only played 1 hour of Mafia II. I probably need to finish the game some day.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

You crazy bugger.

I did not care enough to go after all those posters. How many were there, 200?

Dunno, I blocked it from my memory.

It was around that time when I asked myself what I was doing with my life.

 

[Tenebrous]

Awesome news.

 

[Mozendo]

This day keeps on getting better.

 

[Endo Punk]

Main thing I dislike about the 70's is that it's been done so much before with the Driver series. I hope it's more like the 60's.

That series that was relevant 15 years ago? Yeah we need the 70s era back again with current gen power

 

[Zaru]

I'm feeling reluctant optimism.

Mafia 2 wasn't what I wanted after Mafia 1, but it was still enjoyable. I hope they at least keep that level.

 

[Lemonte]

Mafia2 was so good. One ticket for the hype train please.

 

[UrbanRats]

In the 70s? Going for a The Driver vibe, i hope.

I really disliked Mafia 2 though, so i'm not exactly pumped for this.

 

[panty]

Please dont disappoint. So excited!

 

[Hip Hop]

Main thing I dislike about the 70's is that it's been done so much before with the Driver series. I hope it's more like the 60's.

That's just one series, which is not a lot.

Plus, it's been a while since someone has tackled that theme.

I'm okay with it.

 

[GlamFM]

Gamescom Reveal?

Cool!
