Words from the Wise: A Design Director’s Perspective
In a delightful chat via the PlayStation Blog, the acclaimed Hanger 13’s associate design director, Josh Zammit, spilled the beans about this spectacular update. They seem a tad too excited, probably doing a little dance while typing this out.
“The races are a blast! Zooming around the world in some of these vintage beauties is just plain fun. Navigating those technical corners has never felt so satisfying—just try to avoid smashing into anything that breathes (or moves), if possible!”
“And oh, the Combat Challenges are like engaging a buffet of enemies. Standoffs? They will push limits you didn’t know existed—think of it as a competitive game of whack-a-mole, but with aliens!”
“There’s also something peculiar tucked away in Enzo’s apartment. Spoiler alert: there are notes that could lead to something intriguing. Players should have a look; it could be like uncovering where grandma’s secret sauce recipe is hidden!”
The Praise is Piling Up!
The reception for Mafia: The Old Country has been on par with a charming Naples restaurant—everybody’s loving it! A certain review described it as “a brief but brilliant Sicilian story,” which must have had the entire development team doing victory laps around the office.
Plus, this silver-grey tale of crime delivers a solid narrative that qualifies as “cliché-heavy,” making it feel just homey enough for those with a taste for nostalgia! And get this—while the stunning landscapes and character models could give art studios a run for their money, the Sicilian map seems a bit like that fancy wine cellar at a party that nobody dares to explore. It’s there, it’s beautiful, but come on folks, let’s use this gorgeous scenery!
Final Thoughts: An Invitation to Revenge…and Fun!
So, whether racing a trusty steed or plowing through combat challenges, the upcoming update is an invitation to plunge into a world where crime is not just a job; it’s an adventure! Grab those fedoras, buckle up those imaginary seatbelts, and get ready; it’s going to be an exhilarating ride!
