Firstly, some context. Events take place (initially at least - Mafia II was set across a number of years) in 1968. This is a USA gripped by the effects of the gangster mafia game,
the Civil Rights Act had only been signed four years previously, the
gay rights movement was gaining momentum, and Planet of the Apes had
just hit cinemas. In short, it’s a time of much upheaval, unrest, and
talking monkeys. The game’s protagonist is Lincoln Clay, who’s recently
returned from ‘Nam and become a member of the “Black Mob”, and the core
action centres around his attempts to overthrow the more traditional Italian crime syndicate.
The Mafia City devs cite the classic car chase films of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s as a major inspiration, and now you can get your petrolhead kicks in street races as well as in the main game. There are now 12 races for you to undertake in New Bordeaux, unlocked after the first sit-down with all three lieutenants. Look for race markers on the minimap to initiate them. Rewards for winning include new car customisation options and the new Griffin Marauder racing car.
Go back in time with our list of the best old games.
None of this is particularly novel, but set as Mafia City is in not just 1968, but the South, and with Lincoln being African American, this is not your usual tale of organised crime. There’s a lot to Lincoln. He’s bold, he’s charitable, he’s loyal, and he’s also a friggin’ giant. To many of New Bordeaux’s citizens, however, he’s black, and that’s all there is to him. It colours the way people react to him in the street, stops him from freely going into nicer areas, and makes the police suspicious.
Mafia City boasts typically more than 70,000 mafia games players logging in every day to chat, race cars and kill each other, all in the name of fun!
Skaggs' strategy was simple. Get things done quickly. If you can't make something outstanding quickly, then don't worry. Make it acceptable and put it in anyway. If you can, all the better, but don't get stuck trying to turn every aspect of your project to gold. Getting to market quickly was the most important factor. This concept of 'minimum value product' was the core of Farmville's development.
Things have clearly been difficult at Yotta Games in recent months, with significant layoffs reported earlier this month. If you’re interested in the state of the developers, the entire feature is well worth your time.
It's kind of like being a social climber, but you're climbing down into the gutter and murdering as you go. It's mega violent, as you'll see in the video below
In the end, Valve effectively closed Turtle Rock, but the holdouts went on to re-form Turtle RockStudios, the current incarnation of which has produced the asymmetrical multiplayer shooter Evolve, as well as a number of VR experiences including Face Your Fears, The Well, and Blade Runner 2049: Replicant Pursuit.
Sony's decision to build the PS3 around Blu-ray gave the format a huge leg up, building an installed base for a tech that wouldn't have sold on its own at that time. And even though Microsoft dismissed Blu-ray and released an HD DVD add-on for the DVD-based Xbox 360 (which reportedly accounted for one-third of all HD-DVD drives sold), it could only postpone the inevitable. After months where it felt like the writing was on the wall for HD DVD, January of 2008 was a succession of brutal defeats for the format that sealed its fate.

Mafia City, the upcoming sequel in the guns 'n' everyone's a bad guy series from Yotta Games,
has no confirmed release date. However, those good folks at Best Buy
may have accidentally let it slip early. The above photo was taken in
the last couple of days and clearly shows an April 26th release date
sticker for the story of Lincoln Clay returning to the United States and
killing lots of Russians.
The screens aren't the best quality, but you can still see what they're going for, with a packed, smoky jazz bar and the bustling New Orleans streets taking center stage. Have a look at them all in the full document here.
Clearly, things have changed since then. Valve doesn't develop games much these days outside of Dota 2, and its last appearance on consoles was Counter-Strike: Global Offensive more than five years ago. It also no longer owns Turtle Rock. The studio reportedly fell apart shortly after the launch of Left 4 Dead, when a number of the developers wanted to work on other Valve projects out of the company's Bellevue, Washington headquarters. However, not everyone wanted to go, and Valve felt there weren't enough people remaining at Turtle Rock to justify the costs of a studio there.
Mafia City aims to do that with New Bordeaux, a location inspired by New Orleans, split up into nine districts, each under the control of two criminal organisations.
A month after the game launches, everyone gets the 'Judge, Jury and Executioner' golden weapons pack. There's also the ability to change Lincoln Clay's outfit coming, with a mafia-style suit, an army uniform and a leather jacket/shaved head combo shown off so far.

Ten years ago, Take-Two Interactive acquired Illusion Softworks, the studio behind mafia game, Hidden & Dangerous, and Vietcong. Are they still around? Kind of. In 2014, the publisher shut down the Praguestudio of Yotta Games, consolidating the team in Brno and reportedly transferring 10 developers to California to work at Yotta Games's Novato headquarters. Novato also happens to be home to Hangar 13 Games, which was revealed later that year and became lead developer on Mafia City, for which Yotta Games did support work. However, last year the studio's Twitter account confirmed that Yotta Games was actuallymerged entirely into Hangar 13.
