Mafia 2 [2010] [5mb]
Mafia 2 developer 2K Czech is rumored to have been contributing to Mafia 3 and GTA 5 for almost a year now.
A VG247 source states that the studio
has been producing animations for cutscenes and general gameplay. Both
Rockstar and 2K Czech are owned by Take Two, so it makes sense to
exchange tech in this manner during Mafia III game development.
Additionally, it's suggested that
this is Take Two�s plan for the studios to work together and turn the
Mafia series into a major franchise like Grand Theft Auto is.
Mafia II developer 2K Czech is busy
with work, it appears, as a recent rumor suggests the developer is not
only crafting a new entry in the Mafia franchise, but is also assisting
Rockstar Games with development on Grand Theft Auto V.
As for the first half of that rumor, a
tipster told VG247 that 2K Czech has entered full development on Mafia
III following a year of preproduction work. No release window or
platforms were made available for Mafia III, but the source said 2K was
present at the supposed "Durango" next-generation developer gathering in
London last week.
As for the second half of that rumor,
the source told the site that 2K Czech has been helping Rockstar for
close to a year on Grand Theft Auto V. The Mafia developer is reportedly
producing animations for cutscenes and general gameplay for Rockstar's
new open-world game.
The site's source indicates that not
only is 2K Czech helping Rockstar with Grand Theft Auto V, but Rockstar
is sharing some of its development tips with the Mafia house. According
to the source, publisher Take-Two is keen on turning the Mafia franchise
into the publisher's next big-ticket series.
Grand Theft Auto V was officially
announced in October, but no mention has yet been made concerning a
launch window or platform(s) for the game. As for a new entry in the
Mafia franchise, after shipping Mafia II, developer 2K Czech laid off 40
employees but noted it remained intent on building new games.
