Logo (24 August 2010)
Visuals: The camera moves along the close-up of a pistol barrel, turned into slow motion and observe the 2K Czech logo carved on the barrel. When light passes it, the carve gleams blue. The pistol makes a shot and we chase the bullet, again turned into slow motion as the bullet moves with a trail behind and crushes a bottle with the 2K logo on it, which also floats slowly. After this, the Mafia II intro plays.
Technique: Perfectly made animation.
Audio: An ingame-type tense soundtrack with a slowed down sound of shooting.
Availability: Seen on Mafia II.
