Video – Mafia II developer diary

mafiaII

A new developer diary was released for Mafia II over on GameTrailers.

We have it posted for you below the break.

In it, you hear more the game from senior producer Denby Grace, associate producer Alex Cox, and other members of the development team.

According to Denby, you will only be able to take a couple of shots before you are dead, so you better make damn good use of the game’s cover system.

Mafia II is slated for August on PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be shown at E3 in June.

Thanks, Dutch.
