Thanks to the limitations of the DS and the top-down perspective, Chinatown Wars did things a bit differently. There's still a distinct style there, sure, but it has a less clear visual identity than, say, Saints Row. From GTA 3 on, the series has presented its cities as pretty realistic. There's just something more toy-like and playful about it, like you're sowing chaos across a big diorama.Ī rotatable camera made it feel like an evolution rather than just more of what we'd seen in GTA 1 and 2, but the real growth came from the art style.
GTA 3's change to third-person shooter was obviously the right move for the series, but Chinatown Wars gave us a glimpse of how the series could have developed if it had stuck to the old ways. Set for release during 2K's 2016 fiscal year, you can expect to see Mafia 3 on your PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, sometime between April 1st and December 31st next year.It wasn't until I picked up Chinatown Wars for my DS in 2009 that I realised how much I missed the top-down perspective of the original GTAs. Plus there is the iconic music, which should ensure that – if nothing else – the soundtrack will be fantastic. With so much going on during this period of America’s history developer, Hanger 13, will certainly have enough source material to stretch its creative legs. It is a bold choice to move the game from the historic bastions of organized crime like 50’s New York and Chicago, but what has been shown of this 1968 New Orleans certainly looks distinct. While the core of the game will incorporate a lot of cover-based gun-play (expect the standard range of period appropriate shotguns and revolvers), there will also be melee and stealth options on offer.
Mafia 3’s open-world design will allow you to freely explore the city, gathering intelligence to help you decide how to tackle situations before going to war against the Italians. To succeed you will have to align yourself with other small criminal groups, building an empire to overthrow the Italian mob and reshape New Orleans. It’s a wonderful foundation for a sordid tale of revenge.
And this is where the Mafia comes in, killing his adoptive family during a territory grab.
