This is how Sicily looked like in 1900s:

Aren't Mafia games like GTA and you're supposed to drive cars? Cars, not donkeys?

Also, I've noticed that in the trailer the narrator speaks English. That's not very accurate, he should be speaking the Sicilian dialect of Italian. What next, they gonna put niggers in the game too?

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Serpent in the Staglands Dead State Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity Torment: Tides of Numenera Wasteland 2 Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 A Beautifully Desolate Campaign Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
That's probably just a translation convention.

Anyway, expect this scene to be heavily ripped off:

The first Mafia had a car with radio, but its purpose was only as a means of traversal to the next mission, there was nothing to actually do in the world. They can just as well have you walk or bike or take a horse.

I can't believe these lazy buggers set a game in the 1900s just to get out of having to include motorbikes.

The setting is unusual and interesting. I unironically appreciate it.

I haven't played Mafia 3 and don't know whether the game is good or not. I also never played any other Hangar 13 game. Therefore I know nothing about the flaws of their games and about their usual style.
Most of you seem skeptical but my lack of Hangar 13-knowledge allows me to be optimistic.

Repetitive gameplay man. Just go to a zone and shootout after shootout.

So, this game will have full audio in German, Russian, and Czech, but not Italian. You can't make this shit up.

As an italian, it's funny to see it won't have the full audio.
But as Italy counts 0 in the grand scheme of things, it counts less than 0 in the VG market.

I only like the first Mafia, and that's partly because you leave the entire "family" lying dead on the floor of an art gallery at the end. The absolute catharsis of killing those pillocks. Haha that's right, I'm breaking "omerta" and whatever other dumb shit you people believe in. I'm breaking it with bullets to your skulls. Should have just opened a pizza place you fucking clowns, then you wouldn't have been KILLED by my BIG GUN.

Also love that song that plays in the Works Quarter with the lady doing the proto-scat singing.

Mafia 2 was a big tedious waste of time and the third literally had to be intended as a joke with the stealth takedowns and shit. This game might save the franchise if they let you get into a bicycle chase but I wouldn't bet on it.

Depending on how open world it is I could see it being a decent tourism sim crusing between cloistered hilltop Italian cities. Hopefully the view outside the window in the trailer is highlighting a visitable location.

Thanks for the spoiler tag, asshole.
