Mafia 2 Forum

Today, we present you a further analyse from the wallpapers. On the wallpaper you can see posing Vito and, of course Joe, in a workshop with various tools and with all things. Scene I will seek to dismantle to much closely how it´ll go, if you will have any other comments, please indicate below under the article.

On the other out of print wallpaper we can see Vito and Joe after “work”. Wallpaper is from the slains kitchen, in which you can note every details, contemporary products, and that the kitchen is very good condition.

On this wallpaper is probably caught poorer part of the city. Forward are two main features Vito and Joe. It looks like, that arise a small wrangle with three guys back at the red car. Next you can notice many details like everywhere cluttered rubbish and electric lines. Yellowish sky with dense clouds provides to the wallpaper consistent atmosphere.

When we will discuss all the screenshots / scans from Mafia 2, which circulating on the internet, you you can notice, that no gangster onto the screenshot isn´t much differ from other gangsters and not particularly doesn´t stick. By pedestrians, who you can meet on the street, it doesn´t pass. The pedestrians are various and almost never happens, it would have been the scene two as clothing, or even just looking people. But with the gangsters it’s different. All enemy gangsters are similar. You know gangster pursuant to characteristic of clothing (black coat or jacket and hat … Of course is more clothes with some characteristics, but I don´t need to write it out there) and, of course the weapons. Gangsters are something like policemen … also they have their “uniforms”, pursuant to you distinguish them from the other people. However, thei aren´t monotonous … one is thick, the other is thin, one has a hat, the other not, one has black jacket, the second long coat … But if we find gangster on the screenshot, he is substantially differ from the other gangsters on the scene, it means that it is an important person or a so-called “boss”. What is, for example, weapons subdealer or any high positron member from enemy family. In Mafia 1, for example, it was Morello and his brother. Or procurators son and the son of councillor, who Tommy destroy funerál later, I can remember on teh other, but it doesn´t belong there … This is I just try to say, that bosses are an integral part of the each game.

This is the case of several screenshots (1, 2, 3, 4), on which can be seen hairless gangster (further only the boss) in a white suit. At first screenshot we can see boss in back part of the room (firts picture). On the other screenshot, from the same bar, we can see the boss sitting on a chair and on the table in front of him he has deferred a glass of red wine (second picture). The next screenshot is from the car chase, in which slightly hindered itself a Vitos car and a car, from which shoots known boss (third picture). On the last screenshot, that boss shoots at Vito, which is hiding behind the red car (fourth picture). There are only speculation, but according to me at the 80% it´s a no less important figure of game and probably he will act as well as one of game “boss”. So by one because, that the Mafia 2 will have about 10 times more incidents, than any film, as claimed Dan Vávra in some interview. I hope that I don´t interfere and that you share my opinion. :)

The next analysis is related to four svane, which won´t be state in HD version. Scane are from LEVEL magazine and Gamereactor.

1. Joe, who is hiding behind the car and taking aim at panzer. Joe has german tommy gun MP40, which you can known from military games, like Call of Duty or Medal of honor

2. Vito running to the car.

3. Probably Henry Tomasino, like Joe, shooting on the panter too.

4. Policeman felt a victim of three gangsters.

5. There the authors show up the model of damage. The car with smashed roof and hood, looks really good.

6. Driver, after sight a gun battle, he pluck drive for a fear.

7. Navigation schedule.

8. Panzer, which transport ether plenty of money or something very important for mafians.

9. Church – maybe there will be enacted one of the most brutal mission, like in Mafia 1

Some moment after the last analysis of three older screenshots, which appeared on the server cynamite.de, here I supplied 3 remaining screenshots. I’ve tried to dismantle it in more details. If you find any inaccuracy or any overlooked thing, write the article under comments.

1) Stricken gangster very realistically falls to the ground and his blood dirty billboard behind him, while the already dead gangster lie next to him. 2) Vito lurking (not cover) behind the blue car. 3) Advertising banners supplying the city atmosphere and you can find them at every step. 4) Spooked ladies fleeing from the place of shooting. 5) In the great afar you can see a skyscraper (the distance I average on a few kilometers), from that I presume that in Mafia 2 will be display distance at least 2 to 3 kilometers. 6) A very meticulous detail “dirt” on the streets really amaze everyone.

After long time I decided to do further analysis of screenshots. I´ve choose 3 pictures, what published the server cynamite.de.

1) Two real Empire building and Chrisler skyscrapers. 2) Taxi maybe it will be used to transfer certain place. 3) Notice a realtime shadow. 4) Licence number: AAAAA – in the game will arbitrarily change the signs, so you don´t have to worry about that all cars have the same licence number. 5) Scared womens face is the detail, but overall it will improve the atmosphere of the game.
