Mafia The Old Country Developer diary shows Weapons & Vehicles
A new Mafia The Old Country Breaking Omerta Developer Diary released, showing how the team captured sounds for the game's weapons, vehicles, music, and more. We've already seen the game's stunning visuals, but sound design also plays a vital role in delivering a fun experience. And Hangar 13 found a way to capture authentic sounds using real weapons and vehicles from the time period. Without further ado, let's dive right in.
Developer Hangar 13 unveiled their latest chapter in their Mafia The Old Country Breaking Omerta Developer diary series. This episode, dubbed 'The Sounds of Sicily' focuses on the game's sound design. So what exactly did it cover?
The first part of the video focuses on weapon sounds. All weapons you see in Mafia The Old Country are real weapons used in the time period. Therefore, the developers will able to get their hands on them and capture their sound. This all serves to heighten the authenticity of the setting.
The Old Country's gameplay also features driving sections, where you'll drive a variety of vehicles to reach your destination. Just like the weapons, the developers were able to find people who owned and cared for these cars. And because of that, we'll get to hear the authentic sounds of those vehicles in Mafia The Old Country.
Lastly, the diary dives into the soundtrack, as well as the cooperation between the narrative and audio teams to produce a realistic vibe of 1900s Sicily. Art Director Steven Noakes believes that the 'Music, in a way, makes the graphics look much better than they would do otherwise.'
Overall, that includes everything from the latest Mafia the Old Country Breaking Omerta Developer Diary. We look forward to both seeing and hearing the sights and sounds of 1900s Sicily when the game launches this August.
Feel free to check out some of the other recent entries in the Breaking Omerta series. Their last video, 'Capturing Performance' gives us a bit more insight on the game's main protagonst, Enzo Favara. Furthermore, they also released a developer diary about the game's graphics and art design.
But if you'd rather wait and not get spoiled, the game's launch is not far off. The fourth entry of the Mafia series hits store shelves later this Summer.

Ewan McGregor And Charley Boorman On ‘The Long Way Home', Friendship And Unexpected Detours
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman in 'The Long Way Home' The final episode of The Long Way Home is now streaming on Apple TV+. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman spent the entire summer traveling across Europe on their bikes and they visited about 17 countries, from Scotland to Sweden, Austria, Finland and France. We often say that going on a trip with a friend can become a great friendship -and personality- test, especially when the trip in question might include perilous situations and weather hazards. McGregor and Boorman have been best friends since the 1990s, so I asked them if they had learned something new about each other and about themselves during this fourth trip together. McGregor said, 'We started our first trip in 2004, 21 years ago, and we didn't have any idea, and in a way that's the beauty of it, of what we were doing. We wanted to do a round-the-world trip and film it. We wanted it to be really simple, one camera, we didn't realize we were doing something that would be so hugely part of our lives.' He added: 'We often talk about what we've learned is about the fact that you can travel down the same stretch of roads, even the same motorbikes and have two entirely different experiences. I might be in a bad mood, feeling tired or missing home, and Charley can be having an up day, and when we did the first trip, when that would happen, it would feel like something was wrong. And what we learned through doing four trips now, is that it is right, Charley is having his experience and I'm having mine, and they should exist together. But it takes you a while to learn that. And also to be more understanding of each other, those early trips were four and a half months, it's a long time to be side by side, 24 hours a day. Now we read each other better, if Charlie needs a minute I can recognize that, or if I need picked up, Charlie will pick me up. It's nice, we allow ourselves to have our own experience I guess.' 'The Long Way Home' During their trip across Europe, the two friends have had to overcome technical difficulties with their bikes and different kind of obstacles on the road. But some of these obstacles sometimes turned out for the best, as they allowed the adventurers to find a solution, wether it was a new path or a new camping site, which resulted in an even bigger adventure. During their stay in Finland, McGregor and Boorman drove to the lake region of the country, and simply by talking with locals there, they ended up finding their new camping site on a small island. This last minute decision led the two men to one of the most breathtaking locations of their journey. Another day, a closed road led the two friends to a new path, which resulted in McGregor and Boorman meeting new people and discovering new sceneries. I asked them if they had a favorite memory of an unexpected detour from this trip. Boorman said, 'You mentioned the road closure, there was some building work going on and we were delayed. Max and Claudio, who are two cameramen who shared a bike together, well Max had dropped a glove, and he was bummed out about that because it was getting cold. Anyway the road was closed, we were pulled over and the guy said, 'Oh just so you know, the car behind has found your glove, and if you wait there, you'll get it back.' We went somewhere else to get food while Max waited for the glove, we set up camp, Max turned up because these people had given him a lift, and they said they could get up the hill but that they couldn't get out, they were going to stay on top of the mountain, so they invited us for a coffee.' McGregor added: 'It was as high as you could be in this valley, right in the wind, we got there, took our helmets off, they gave us a coffee from their RV, lovely, but by the time it went to my lips it was stone cold. And then I heard Charlie saying 'I'm gonna put my helmet back on' because it was so cold!' 'The Long Way Home' Little gestures and improvised moments like this one made for some very precious memories during this road trip. McGregor then remembered an anecdote from their 2004 trip to Mongolia. He said, 'We had GPS units and maps. And in Mongolia, there's no road, it's just tracks. So on the GPS, all it showed were lakes. So we had to look for the right shape of the lake on the map. There was a lake up to our right, a huge one, and we were going to cross where the lake turns into a river but the bridge had gone or it was too deep, whatever. Nobody could cross, and they said it could be days, so we went around the lake.' He added: 'We rode off road around this lake, it took us all day to get around it. But I remember crouching in the shade of my bike, you just put your hand on the stand, and that was the only shade there was, it was baking hot. It's funny because Mongolia was also very cold and rainy other times. But that was an amazing detour and it sticks in my mind because we were never quite sure we had made the right choice.' All episodes of The Long Way Home are now streaming on Apple TV+

Dakota Johnson Teases Directorial Debut: ‘I Just Won't Let Anybody Else Do It'
Fresh off the success of the A24 romantic dramedy 'Materialists,' star Dakota Johnson has revealed that she is close to finalizing the deal for her feature directorial debut — a project she told reporters would star Vanessa Burghardt, with whom she worked in 2022's 'Cha Cha Real Smooth.' While appearing at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival (where she will receive the President's Award), Johnson teased that project was 'very close to her heart,' and she thought Burghardt, 'an incredible autistic actress.' 'I've always felt that I'm not ready to direct a feature,' she said. 'I don't have the confidence, but, with her, I feel very protective and I know her very well. I can see this world, so I just won't let anybody else do it. That's the real answer.' More from IndieWire Michael Douglas Criticizes Donald Trump: 'Our Country Is Flirting with Autocracy' Unseen 'Clueless' Footage Released as '90s Classic Celebrates 30 Years - or, Like, Whatever Johnson has directed one short film 'Loser Baby,' which premiered at TIFF TV in 2024. She has also stepped into the producer's seat on several occasions, including with 'Cha Cha Real Smooth,' as well as 'Am I OK?,' 'Daddio,' 'Splitsville,' the series 'Slip,' and the upcoming film 'Verity,' which stars Anne Hathaway. Johnson has often expressed her opinions on the state of Hollywood filmmaking. During an appearance last month on 'Hot Ones,' Johnson decried the proliferation of remakes and reboots. 'When something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don't want that,' she said. 'They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don't know, I guess it's all just a bit of a mess right now, isn't it?' At Karlovy Vary (via Variety), Johnson discussed how she expects a set to be run when she works on a film — previewing how her own future production might operate. 'I don't want to face people who are not willing to collaborate,' she said. 'And then there are obvious things. We all know what a toxic set is by now. We're artists, so there's room for expansive personalities, and we're working with emotions. I love a healthy argument on a set, and I also believe that the most excellent idea wins. It's not a fight. It's not a race. It's a collaboration.'

Joao Rosas Creates His Very Own Map of Lisbon in ‘The Luminous Life' – and Makes a Case for Cinema as an ‘Act of Kindness'
In 'The Luminous Life,' Portuguese director João Rosas shows off his hometown Lisbon – but chances are, you won't recognize it. 'It's sentimental cartography: tourists don't know these places, but they are important to me and to other people in the film. I wanted to show another side of the city: this is where we actually live. But if after seeing the film, someone decides to visit them, you are welcome to do it!' More from Variety Dakota Johnson Is Getting Ready to Shoot Directorial Feature Debut, Says She Wants to Play a 'Psychopath,' 'Can't Waste Time on Toxic Sets Anymore' Michael Douglas Has 'No Intention' of Returning to Acting, Says U.S. Idealism 'Does Not Exist Now': 'People Are Going Into Politics to Make Money' Peter Sarsgaard on Speaking Out on 'Divided' U.S.: 'You Can Tell I Didn't Vote for Trump' For now, secret spots and sunny alleys are claimed by his protagonist Nicolau, in his 20s and directionless after a devastating breakup. Nicolau isn't in the mood for anything, really, and questions his future as a musician. But he's still surrounded by kindness. 'This kindness was already present in my previous films, but in this one in particular,' says Rosas ahead of the Karlovy Vary Film Festival premiere. 'I think it's important nowadays, in the context of the world we're living in, to enhance this kindness towards each other, our friends and strangers we pass by on the streets. Cinema, for me, is an act of kindness.' Eager to work with non-actors – Rosas followed 'Nicolau' in his previous films, too – he likes to keep things simple. 'Goethe would talk about Classic or Baroque periods. I think we're living in very Baroque times – I mean, just look at Trump – but I'm all about Classic. I focus on what's essential,' he laughs. 'The best way of achieving that is making sure people can connect to your characters. Even though it's a very specific social context, white middle-class in a European country, it talks of very universal feelings or stages in life.' He reveals: 'Even during auditions I'm more interested in getting to know everybody. They tell me how they view life and how they inhabit the city, where they go, what they do. I'm just like Nicolau – I'm just there, listening. But the city – that's always my starting point. I don't have a car, so I just cycle and walk. I look at people in Lisbon and turn them into my characters.' Everyone feels a bit lost in their 20s. But in 'The Luminous Life,' things don't get much easier later on, either. 'That was one of the main challenges: How to portray this moment when you are looking for your own path in life? Then again, it's an ongoing process. All our lives, we're asking ourselves what to do next and who we are.' Just like Nicolau's father, a man who used to have all the answers – until his wife left him. 'Suddenly, their roles change – he turns into a man who confesses to his son that he's not doing well. This exchange will allow Nicolau to leave the old ghost of his relationship behind.' Confusion and uncertainty, while heartbreaking, can also be funny, stresses Rosas, rejecting the idea of Portuguese saudade, a feeling of sadness and melancholy often described by writers. 'It's a narrative I just don't agree with. I'm not a sad person and I don't see it around me. It's a construction based on some touristic and maybe also political values, trying to explain 'what it means to be Portuguese.' My country can be sad, in a way that poor or post-dictatorship countries can be. But this sadness as a characteristic of people or the city… It's not something I'm interested in.' He adds: 'I was thinking about Woody Allen, Nanni Moretti. In their films, you can look at problems that are valid and complex, sure, but find a comedic side to it. Life is doubt. Life is questioning. But I didn't want to take things too seriously.' What he did want, however, was to make a 'talkative' film and revel in long discussions about love, work and future. 'Cinema, or art, can offer you the luxury of time. You can distance yourself from this daily urban routine where you don't have time to be with friends, talk or think. Nicolau is passive, but that also makes him a kind character. He's surrounded by young women and he's not trying to conquer them. He's absorbing their knowledge. I can't stress this enough – It's so important to listen to others and the stories they carry around the city.' 'I don't want to sound too pretentious, but this idea of sharing is very important to me. When I make films, I work with other people – I'm also thinking about other people who are going to see them. I like arthouse films and I'm, I guess, an arthouse director, but I never forget cinema was born as popular art.' 'The Luminous Life' was produced by Pedro Borges for Midas Filmes and co-produced by Les Films de L'Après-Midi. Loco Films handles sales.
