New Mafia game is in early development at Hangar 13

That is great news, as long as they follow the formula of Mafia 1 and 2.
If they go for something similar to Mafia 3, then it's going to be really bad.

 

I've read about he "prequel" idea. It's not without merit, but it really depends on the format. Hangar's Mafia 3 went for a GTA type layout of the missions with progress blocked off by the district takeovers. I honestly hope that that will not make a comeback. They should stick to the original Mafia mission structure, like they did with the remake of M1.

 

Unreal Engine 5, nice, that will speed up development.

 

Mafia 3 wasn't a bad bad game but it was an absolute hot mess of one and had zero to do with the first two games. Which is generally what happens when a new dev takes over. The Steam forum for it, however, was the most toxic I've seen aside Alien Isolation.

 

Excellent my favourite two games, three was fine in itself but it wasn’t mafia and missed out on a great era it could have portrayed in the mafia.

 

Enjoyed Mafia 1 and 2 .Mafia three still have not finished yet,maybe it is time to try Mafia 3 again

 

Mafia remake was amazing. Looking forward to it.

 

It just needs to have a solid story with good gameplay and it's an offer I can't refuse.

 

it’s woke

 

That's my new favorite word here. ("woke") Makes ignoring quick and easy.

 

Amazing is a bit strong for me, it was Mafia 3 all over again but using Mafia 1's story. It was ok, enjoyable. But the original from 20 years ago was much better for me.
