The Inbetweeny Bits: Mafia II Details
GameTrailers has interviewed 2K producer Denby Grace about the forthcoming Mafia II. They did it on video, so we can watch it, without all the hassle of reading boring old words. Stupid words. It shows off some of the lesser-spoken about features of the game so far - the open world elements. There's discussion of how encounters on the street occur, as well as side missions. The second video goes on to talk about environmental destructibility, and then the plans for realistic police. (Which means not only their being strict, but also it being easy to escape their primitive ways. Finally it goes on to discuss the ways to upgrade cars. So that's most of the things I'd be wondering about - good work, GameTrailers.
The other thing to note is: bloody hell, it looks beautiful. Don't forget about our E3 coverage, nor indeed my visiting 2K Czech to see it all for myself.
