How will the back story of Vito being a World War II vet influence Mafia II?
Vito is an ex-soldier at the start of the game. He’s seen the hell and the horror of war in World War II. You guys have seen this probably in the August 2007 trailer that we debuted at Leipzig. He’s asked by a high ranking member of one of the Mafia families in the game more or less: “Can you kill?” And Vito’s response to this is, “I was in the war, asshole. Of course, I can kill.” So he’s saying, “Look. All this little mafia stuff that you guys are doing back here is great and I’d love to be a part of it. But it’s nothing compared to what I went through overseas in the war.” Vito isn’t one of those guys who sits there and tells war stories with his buddies. He did see some crazy things in the war. That’s what makes him able to stomach this stuff. He’s not just a nice little guy off the streets. He’s like, “Yeah. Sure. Give me a gun. I can kill that guy.” He’s someone who has had to do this before. Will we see any references or cameos to Mafia II? There will be some stuff. I’ve said in
