Mafia 2 comes out on August 24th and Game Sector got to chat with the guys behind the upcom­ing game!

Earlier this very day I sat down at my desk, pulled open my Macbook, and turned on my iPhone wait­ing for the right time. At exactly 3pm CST I dialed up the num­ber 2K sup­plied me with and was now in the middle of the Mafia 2 Q&A Phone Conference.

Chase, 2K’s PR, was host­ing the event where he inter­viewed Jack Scalici (Director of cre­at­ive pro­duc­tion on Mafia 2). All people attend­ing had to pre-submit ques­tions before the con­fer­ence so that Chase could sort through them to make sure there weren’t many repeats.

What a Q&A it was as well. Jack covered everything from game­play to cars to the envir­on­ment to the set­ting, and even fash­ion! Mafia 2 does look like its shap­ing up to be a fant­astic game and man­ages to do what many open-world games fail to do, provide a focused storyline. Below we have the full Q&A recor­ded with per­mis­sion from 2K to post it. I hope every­one enjoys it and finds Mafia 2 to be some­thing of interest (Note: it is around an hour in length)
