Mafia II Thread

[Shane]

Thought id create a thread where we can discuss stuff about the upcoming Mafia 2,And share with each other what you are enjoying so far in the Demo.

I just cant wait until tomorrow is over just to get my hands on the Demo!...From the vids ive seen the Graphics looks stunning and so does the gameplay.

Anyone Pre-order it yet?

 

[JLuchinski]

Yeah I'm counting down to the demo as well, if it's good then I'll pre-order.

 

[joh06937]

absolutely can't wait for the demo. i hope it turns out to be an awesome game. i would hate to be let down... but i don't think i will be

 

[bomberboysk]

Can't wait for the demo either, the original Mafia was a great game.

 

[lubo4444]

I hope it's good. I actually never played the first one but i saw few youtube videos and it looked really good.

I never played the Orig,But on steam if you pre-order Mafia 2 you get the first mafia for free,so im going to play the demo tomorrow and if i like it pre-order the game and while im waiting for Mafia 2 to officially come out il play the mafia 1.

Although i heard people have had trouble getting it to work on Windows 7 X64 ...but thats expected since the first Mafia was released back in 2002.

i got it to install but i kept getting a weird glitch (i kept killing my first taxi passenger at the very beginning) so i just gave up and uninstalled it.

 

[joh06937]

looks like it won't be another 3 hours or so (8:00 am GMT evidently).

 

[Shane]

Yup i bet us in the UK wont see it until later on,but i dont care because im off to bed in a min and i have the night off work tonight to i can play the demo then

 

[Shane]

Well first impressions,quite good...the game looks fantastic!

These were the settings i tried and it ran with no hiccups whatsoever,Not sure on the frame rates i was getting because for some reason Fraps would never show at the top of the screen

Not tried it with Apex Physx on,But i think this is for the new Nvidia cards only?

Its buggy but that's expected,in bugs i mean...you cant walk and shoot at the same time with the mouse and keyboard,as the player stops walking..however if you use the xbox 360 controller you can!..so im thinking it must be a bug!

Theres also a problem with it crashing when you quit the game.

But other than those problems ive found so far it seems like its going to be a big game this year,will be going to pre-order!

 

[joh06937]

what do you mean you can't walk and shoot? i can with my keyboard and mouse

game is looking pretty great. eyefinity works well. LOVING the cover system. physx looks great as well. really fun chipping away at an enemy's cover in order to be able to shoot them graphics are somewhat easy to render. with my eyefinity, max settings, and high physx, i got anywhere from 35 or so to 75 fps. i will check my usage a little later once i play again. next time, i am just going to go into the city (if i can) and spend my ten minutes doing other things...

here are a couple pics. i'll try to get some more later.

 

[Shane]

what i mean was...with the mouse + keyboard for some reason i could walk but when i shoot the player stops walking for some reason,it does not do this for me when using the 360 controller though,i can walk and shoot at the same time!..maybe its a bug or something.

as for physx,im going to enable it now on mine and see how it runs

didn't happen for me. weird.

i literally just stood in the living for five minutes listening to the music. if you people knew me at all, you'd know i am pretty much peeing in my pants from the music. this game is gta only better in every single god damn way!!!!!

Well .... Come on lets go lets go lets go little darlin'
Tell me that you'll never leave me
Come on Come on lets go again, again and again
Well.... Now swing me swing me swing me all the way darling
Come on lets go little darlin'
Lets go lets go again once more

HOT DAMN!

 

[Shane]

Dunno whats going on with my Fraps now,this is how my Mafia 2 screenshots come out ...kind of cool

btw i tried the game with Physx option turned on,i get 18-25 fps in the city
but surprisingly it still runs smooth.

The things im not liking about the game atm is the camera angles sometimes are a bit crap when driving around.

 

[joh06937]

that's what the matrix would look like if it were made in the 60s

Apparently someone already figured how to stop the countdown timer when your in the city,i wouldn't be surprised if someone finds out how to remove the red blocks that prevent you going further into the city either

counter stopper dl now
fraps doesn't seem to want to record at higher than around 4 fps

here are a bunch more though. lovin' this game

this is pretty sweet

OH SH-

glug glug glug...

anyone up for a game of tennis?

"excuse me, where the hell is all the water?"

 

[Shane]

Awesome shots ^

Post your benchmarks guys,

Heres mine,Not really impressed with the result to be honest but maybe its because my cards is not Nvidia = Physx,But at least the game runs smooth.

All maxed settings,res in screenshot with Physx disabled.

 

[ScOuT]

Love this game already...it's late so I only played about 15 minutes

All settings maxed...the GTX 260 was really working I was playing at about 25 to 35 FPS and it actually ran smooth.

Benchmark

 

[joh06937]

running max at 4516*900 but still pretty disappointed. note: physx was turned off. i'll run it again with physx on in a couple minutes.

EDIT: thunderstorm cut out our power for a second, right when i was in the middle of the bench! i don't feel like running it again but i was getting about 28-29 fps average with physx high. i wonder if that has to do with the 8800gt's 512 mb ram size and my eyefinity?

i am loving the way these cars feel when driving (heavy!). plus, like i said, the music makes me sit in the car and just to listen to it. overall, i can't wait until august 24th! right before school too, looks like i'll be starting out behind in all my classes
