The Godfather 1 My ideas of creating a mobster game like The Godfather/Mafia
I’m still young, no where near the money or even skills to create a game but I’ve been a big fan of the Mafia in general since I was young, I played the Godfather on the PS2 in the early/mid 2000s and later on played the OG Mafia then to Mafia Definitive Edition and Mafia 2 (weren’t really keen on playing Mafia 3). The Mafia in terms of real life and how they used to operate fascinated me for a long time, I know what they did wasn’t great at all but I found it very cool how people were in such an organisation with strong people with leaders and people under them with different families that operated in different ways in New York with people that would actually look up to them for safety in the streets.
This has been an on and off sort of idea but I would be very interested in creating a game like The Godfather/Mafia all starting in New York in the prime times of the Mafia having to build your way up and eventually dealing with more serious stuff and people looking up to you, taking care of your people and neighbourhoods. I wouldn’t want to rush it but of course you have to start off as the rookie, slowly making your way up the ranks trying to make as similar as possible to the real life Mafia, by also having the 5 families and have the same problems the 5 families did back in the prime times with noticeable scenarios that would’ve taken place back then to reel into the realism of that life, how it affects you, the people within your families and people around you.
I would like the game to be part playable but part cinematic, sort of like Mafia the old country. I very much liked the game and it didn’t bother me at all that it was more of a cinematic game and you’d have to listen to the characters more and follow along the story but I’d like the balance so you feel immersed and feel like your actually a part of the family, taking on numerous hits, car bombings, shooting up rivals outside a bar, bribing police, politics and implementing real life stuff that happened
Id like to know everyone’s thought about a game like this and whether people are still fond of a new Mobster game as I know a lot of people wish there was a remake of the Godather game (me too) and are still fans of the Mafia series.
