Good coat of paint but this remake still shows the age of the game, which is not a negative thing per se.
I dislike the whack a mole/shooting gallery and it basically forced me to skip through the video hoping to they'd show the open world stuff more and disappointingly it didn't have any.
What open world stuff? Mafia 1 had a map to connect missions, that's pretty much it.
At 2:37 the commentary even points out that the heart of the game are the missions and I'd not expect a lot of that to change.
The only optional missions I can remember from the top of my head are those for Lucas?
Not only did they butcher how Tommy looked, they butchered his voice as well, dear lord boys come on.
Yeah instead of being a guy who was dragged into the mob as an insecure guy now he is acting like he always was part of it and has confidenceAgreed. I thought the original voice acting in this game was on point (in a cheesy video game kind of way). Tommy wasn't really supposed to be one of these guys, it was a battle of conscience for him or that's the way I took it. Looks like they are playing him more as one of the boys now.
No it was pretty long, if you buy bundle with all the Mafias, it cost only 20 bucks, not sure why, because it seems like it got adequate treatement. My pal Daniel Vávra is not involved though (creator of the 1st game)Does anyone have any idea why they’re only charging $40 for this? Was the original not a long game? It certainly doesn’t look low budget from a production standpoint.
I agree, the pricing seems very odd for 2K, especially when the game looks like it has high production values and relatively big budget.Does anyone have any idea why they’re only charging $40 for this?

Maybe the budget is not very high. They are using many elements from Mafia 3.Does anyone have any idea why they’re only charging $40 for this? Was the original not a long game? It certainly doesn’t look low budget from a production standpoint.
Because we all know the story and how it ends!Does anyone have any idea why they’re only charging $40 for this? Was the original not a long game? It certainly doesn’t look low budget from a production standpoint.

Make it four!Sweet, there’s three of us!
My heart stopped when I saw this tread with Mafia and delayed in the title
Already preordered, no preload is a bit odd but can't wait to finally replay this !
I preordered on PS4 and it shows my auto download will start tomorrow
Makes sense seeing as it's not really a Mafia game anywayThey removed the discount if you already owned Mafia 3. Sneaky lol.

I don't adore Mafia 2 like some but hell naw is 3 less shite.Mafia 1 > Mafia 3 > Mafia 2
It helps I played Mafia 3 patched with all DLC.
Get it. It's an amazing game. Great story, great characters and decent period accurate open world.For me, personally, this Fall is loaded, so this game has always had a B-esque feel about it.
But I have to admit I’m starting to get excited about this game as we approach the release date. Interesting that this game is generating almost no buzz. A generational thing, perhaps?
Did you go to the store from the main menu?They removed the discount if you already owned Mafia 3. Sneaky lol.

Mafia for PC directed by Daniel Vávra and co is my shittttt, lets just hope this remake can capture most of what those dudes did originally.
Will have to buy it next year. Just don't have the time. I'm hyped to play it though, really liked Mafia 3's controls, feel, combat etc.
Hoping they give some fancy features for PS5 patch.
I fully agree with thatMafia combined with the Mafia 3 gunplay/controls = great combo
Even after you've experienced Tommy Angelo's journey into the world of organized crime, there's still plenty to see and do in Mafia: Definitive Edition via Free Ride mode. "Free Ride is a bonus mode that we included as a nod to the original game," explains Ondřej Vévoda, Lead Designer at Hangar 13. "The basic idea is that Free Ride allows players to explore Lost Heaven freely without any mission objectives. It’s an opportunity to check out the beautiful vistas around the city, test drive the vehicles in your garage, find collectibles out in the world, and maybe uncover a few secrets."
Free Ride harkens back to the 2002 original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, letting you explore the 1930s landscape at your own pace. "Confusingly, there were two versions of Free Ride in the original game," says Vévoda. "There was 'Free Ride,' a city tourism mode with very simple taxi-driving type gameplay, and 'Free Ride Extreme' which added some crazy challenges. We combined ideas from both into one mode, so the Definitive Edition version of Free Ride contains both the tourism part and some hidden bonus content to discover."
To unlock Free Ride mode, all you need to do is complete the first mission in Mafia: Definitive Edition's main story. "When you enter Free Ride, you'll start at Salieri’s Bar, with access to your garage, wardrobe, and armory, plus the ability to change the time of day and weather," says Vévoda. "Once Tommy is kitted up, you can head into the city and start poking around." The most dedicated players may find a few unlockables as a reward for following a trail of cryptic clues.
Vévoda particularly loves exploring the serene countryside beyond the busy streets of Lost Heaven in Free Ride. "We added a big rural area to the north of the city, and the main story only takes you out to a couple of spots," he explains. "There are a lot of great views and little places to discover up there. Also, all those long country roads and dirt tracks are perfect for putting vehicles through their paces."
Of course, longtime Mafia fans may remember the more absurd aspects of the original Free Ride that exist way outside the story's canon. "I think like most players, I loved Free Ride Extreme in particular," recalls Vévoda. "After all the serious Mafia business of the main story, surreal challenges like shooting a sea monster or tailing an invisible man were a lot of fun and a great way to spend extra hours in the world once the story was complete."
Will those sillier elements return in Mafia: Definitive Edition's Free Ride? "All I can say is: The truth is out there," Vévoda remarks. You'll have to see what secrets you can uncover for yourself in Free Ride when Mafia: Definitive Edition launches later this week; check out the "When Can You Play Mafia?" release schedule for details.
Yes and no. The guns had massive recoil in the original because Tommy was just a taxi driver, with Mafia 3 gameplay he's shooting like a trained soldier which doesn't really fit.Mafia combined with the Mafia 3 gunplay/controls = great combo
