August, nice not too far away.

I hope I can do what I did with Mafia 1 on PC, pad for on foot and change to wheel for driving, wicked!

It's about time they stuck a date on this one. It's been in limbo for a worrying amount of time.

Now that Alan Wake's off the menu, this is my most-anticipated game of the year after Portal 2. Can't wait!

Looks amazing. I can not wait.

I bet LA Noire gets pushed to 2011.

I'm not coming into this with any expectations. If it's anywhere near as good as the first I'll be pleased.

The car racing bit was piss as well, hope they don't tone anything down

2K Czech but it's still released later in Europe?
They should make it 20th in Europe and 30th or something in the US just to make the Americans feel what we Europeans feel.

Mafia is possibly by favourite game of all time, certainly in the top 3, please, please don't let this ruin it. It looks amazing, and I hope all of these delays have been for a very good reason. Unlike Splinter Cell: Gashviction

Will it beat Mafia's 4/10 review on Eurogamer? That is the question.
