New footage is starting to make the rounds on the Internet that presumably shows off some gameplay from the upcoming game, Mafia II. Community member, Mooe, has kindly tossed up one of the videos up on Youtube for your viewing pleasure.
In addition to the new footage, Gamespot has a two page preview that is just full of new information on the upcoming action title.
Their preview continues to describe some of the scenarios they experienced. Fresh screenshots of the game are also scattered throughout the preview, so be sure and check it out.

First of all, Mafia II is being developed from the ground up as a cross-platform sequel simultaneously on all three platforms (PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3). You may remember the not-that-great Xbox and PlayStation 2 ports of the original Mafia--that won't be the story with the sequel, which is being worked on by a sizable team of some 120 developers at 2K Czech. The developers have been upgrading the game's basic technology, the Illusion Engine, for some three years. The game will take place in an open world some 10 square miles in size (twice as big as the world in the first Mafia) and will stream the world's geometry in real time. Consequently, you should see no loading screens while playing, even when entering any of the game's more than 100 interactive indoor areas, such as diners, auto garages, and swanky high-rises, all of which will be packed with destructible environments.
