Title: The inspiration for Mafia's locations
Post by: Asa on October 21, 2011, 02:42:17 AM
As I noticed that Matteo had come across some footage of Mafia's original locations, I've decided to create a little thread here about all the locations that Illusion Softworks used as inspiration for the intricate and atmospheric locations that make up this beautiful game, along with in-game comparisons and some blueprints drawn by Daniel Vavra himself.


 




Here are just a few I've found over the years  (//wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile.png)" data-emoticon="" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20">
