Grand Theft Auto 5 gets input from Mafia 2 developer - report and sneek preview


The rumour comes care of VG247, which also reports that 2K Czech has been working on the game for almost a year, concocting fancy animations for both cutscenes and gameplay. Sounds like they're making up the numbers rather than spearheading anything - which is reassuring if, like us, you have hearty respect for 2K Czech but find the thought of them touching a GTA game upsetting.
Like the daredevils we are, we've been over to the studio's official site to see what's what. No stone unturned and all that. 2K Czech is hiring for four positions - Senior Character Artist, Senior Animator, Online Programmer and Senior 3D Environment Artist - on what appears to be a multiplatform project.
Could it be GTA 5? Or could it be Mafia 3, now apparently in full development after a year of rather dramatic pre-production, in which concepts and technology were stripped back and rebuilt?
The latter may be a next gen Xbox title - VG247's source observes rather pointedly that 2K was in attendance at a recent, secret "Durango" conference in London. Durango, in case you'd forgotten, is rumoured to be the new console's codename.
We'll go ask 2K if they comment on rumour and speculation.
