Worch also said that they may have use some systems to make sure that they can actually populate the game at such high density but he does not think it’s a talking point because they never wanted the players of the game to notice it.
He added that the important part of it is that the city feels densely populated and it all makes sense in a simulated world that would exist even if the player was not playing.
Asked how much time would a gamer need to complete the story of “Mafia III,” Worch said that it is difficult to make an estimate because everyone plays differently. He revealed that they have some testers on “Mafia III” but some of them will just try to collect all the Playboy magazines.
Worch said that initially they had playtests for a week and they eventually realized that nobody was getting to the end of the game, so they had to extend their playtests to be at least one week and a half.
By the designer’s statement, the game can actually be completed in 18 days at least or if a tester plays the game at 10 hours a day, that’s approximately 180 hours of gameplay. But it could be more as there are just too many things to explore in “Mafia III.”
