Visuals: A pistol quickly flies into view, before slowing down as the camera pans over the pistol slowly. On the pistol's top, the 2K Czech logo is carved into the side of it, which gives off a light blue gleam, and then the camera quickly tilts back from the pistol. The hand holding the pistol fires it, shooting a bullet towards his target: a shadowed mob boss with a cigar lit and a bottle of whiskey with the 2K Games logo on it, and the camera slows down drastically to show a shot of him in the distance. After going back to full speed, the bullet breaks the bottle, causing the camera to become focused on the 2K logo for a brief moment, before quickly sweeping around to reveal a red door. A silhouette of a gang member holding a tommy gun walks into the door, creating a "II" shape as smoke clears away to reveal the Mafia II logo in full.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: An ingame-type tense soundtrack with a slowed down sound of shooting.
Availability: Seen on Mafia II.
