Meet Mafia 3's hero and his (fictionalized) home of New Orleans

Sure, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:open-world crime-doings of Mafia 3 look pretty nice, but Lincoln Clay and New Orleans itself are easily the most interesting parts we've s💞een so far. Clearly the folks at 2K Games agree, since the very first videos they put out since that impressive reveal trailer were all about the protagonist and the city he plans to paint red (with mobster blood).

Both videos even have a little bit of new gameplay footage spliced in between scenes from the CGI trailer and developer interviews, showing Clay walking the streets, outrunning mafiosos in his muscle car, and blowing them up with a grenade launcher. Normally I'd ask the mob if First Blood hadn't shown them why messing with a slightly uಞnhinged, loner Vietnam veteran is a terrible idea, but I guess it wasn't due🐟 to hit theaters for 14 years yet.

Speaking of anachronisms, it is odd that Mafia 3 drops the fictional-homage pretense and just 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:takes place in 1968 New Orleans, although that does give the developers more historical touchstones to draw from than back in Lost Heaven and Empire City. Cultural commentary is dicey territory for ꦆmost big-budget games, bu🐼t Mafia 3 has a solid start, at the very least.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degr🐽ee in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've prev༺iously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
