I could.......but naw
Maybe they added the breathing in on purpose? I mean go back and watch like every movie or have a conversation with someone who is under a good amount of stress. Breathing noises in most games makes it's characters more believable. Not talking about the obnoxious mouth breathing from characters in a game who ran like 20 feet and sound like they're dying.
The city is called Lost Heaven, and yeah, it's mostly a Chicago clone
Favorite franchise
Dude this game was pure garbage on console omg. You can’t even kill anybody because the aiming is so terrible. Everything about the console port is bad. I returned it to Amazon it was unplayable on ps5.
If only we could have gotten this level of treatment for the Ezio Collection
Finished it and ezio collection is decent but this would have been nice
My assassins creed 2 crashed my ps4 and corrupted my game save so I just moves on to brotherhood
They really need to go back and do something with the old games the franchise has gotten so bad lately it’s not even assassins creed any more it’s just as fantasy period games with ac slapped in the title
@@thatfamousredneck6422 or just use an xbox lol mines doing fine
assassins creed 2 is one of my favorite games ever. that being said- i spit in its direction after playing the ezio collection
I wish they would’ve did Mafia2 the same justice, I love that game as well
I think incorporating physx back then came and bit them in the ass for the remaster. Other than the eyes and the physics issues it's well done.
Yea but I dont think mafia 2 is old enough for a full remaster
@@dickkickem6472 It is if the promised to include all the cut content from the original, I'm sure they'd end up making a fortune off of it too, and they wouldn't have people asking for a mafia 4 for awhile so they'd get a bit of time to really craft and put together another piece of work like the first two games of the series too.
I don't necessarily think the game needs a full remake like Mafia 1 (although I would still love to see that), it just badly needs at least an update. The so called 'definitive' edition for Mafia 2 actually runs worse than the original version on Steam which is really strange. I just wish they optimised it a bit better and made it a little less clunky and janky.
Guys, remastered Mafia II was released cca month before Mafia remake. It is called Mafia II definitive edition. It is just graphic remaster.
This was the most underrated game of 2020 imo.
It is awesome but it was horrible launch and much more shit.. Bad npcs and everything.
Still not as good as original game from 2002 lol
Not to mention that in remake, they totally butchered the moral of the story
@@Chujometlofuk How explain please?
@@tonid8295 I don't recall a horrible launch. The game on launch was more stable than Cyberpunk 2077
As a Chicagoan, I very much appreciate the accents in this game. Some of them are a bit exaggerated, like the hard "R" in "car", but by and large, the voice actors nail the Midwest/Chicago-style accent.
You mean the “ah” sound as in, Get in the F’ing *CAH*
@@thekindbud8898 that's the east coast dawg, they range from soft Rs (New York, Pennsylvania, etc) to almost no R sound at all (Massachusetts/Boston, New Jersey, etc), Midwesterners on the other hand over pronounce their R sounds (cAR, bAR, dARn, bEAR, whERE and so on)
There is also Irish for all ya lads to be heard, accent not language, like with the cops, especially Det. NORMAN, and a' course the police dispatch!!
@@thekindbud8898 No, he means hard R as in "Get in the F'in cer!"
As someone that grew up on the south side it was the first thing i noticed when playing the game. Lol.
I was so mad no one included this masterpiece in their list of Top 10 Games of 2020. Whenever I pointed that out in the comment section I was mostly roasted. This is why we don't have nice things. This was easily one of the best games of 2020.
There's a huge amount of idiocy in the 2002 release fanbase. Many despised the 2020 remake for not being an exact 1:1 copy of the original, and while certain aspects are an actual downgrade (trams and trains not being rideable), there's so many areas the game improved upon. Missions got more depth to them, more dialogue, more character involvement. Sarah got an actual arc and her relationship with Tommy has more to it than just the awkward scene back at her place. Gameplay was ok but playing in classic felt like a good throwback to the relentless police chase, many unnecesary driving from the OG got removed and improved upon the general flow and rythm of the storyline. A good chunk of the overall game lenght in the OG was virtually added through driving back and forth from one point of the map to the other, and people seem to believe this made the game great. It didn't. I know the game came out in 2002, but the city was sometimes barren and having to do all the backtracking in such an empty place during missions wasn't exactly the best part of it.
@@francocavecchia8246 Totally agree!
@@francocavecchia8246 I completely, 100% agree with what you just stated.
@@francocavecchia8246 I'm not complaining but I read that they took out a lot of cool features from the original that would've made the remake even better. They're basically saying, "don't fix it if it ain't broke." I'm not complaining since I've never played the original or remake but this is what I keep hearing from them. I have no doubt that the remake is good, but if the og fans are disappointed with this version, the original must have been one heck of a game. Honestly, if a game went from a masterpiece to great/good, wouldn't you be a tad bit disappointed? I'm sure the remake is still amazing though. I'm still gonna buy the remake tho because I also think it looks better.
No, you thinking that everyone needs to have the same top 10 games is the reason.
*if this game gets a Turf War mode for the free roam where you constantly fight over territory, i would never stop playing this game.*
That would be amazing.
or an online mafia game where you get to play as soldiers or makin somewhat of your mafia family that’s your friends get to join and stuff like that
@@213kidd How about no
@@213kidd this is a recipe for a gta online level disaster
@@Jayozranger yea I get it but it would be fun
this game was so good that even though i was disappointed with Hangar 13 and Mafia 3, they redeemed themselves with this one in my eyes. gotta love a nice comeback
But ngl the Story of Mafia 3 Was Awesome, I mean Studios are kinda afraid to make a política message but mafia 3 got the Guts trough Lincoln clay and rascism
@@janainawilluweit4567 yea red dead 2 and mafia 3 are bold in that regard
There’s a few things that mafia 3 is better than mafia definitive edition at though like the combat and the soundtrack and the wanted system.
Mafia 3's story are actually great it wasn't just well translated in the game.
Mafia 3’s story was a bit cliche but overall a good idea. What backfired was the gameplay/missions. It’s always sabotage this group of people! Then fight the 2nd in command. Then fight the main boss of said group! Everytime over and over it just got annoying above all else..
Mafia 2002: You could take a tram. Mafia Remake 2020: You couldn't.
Case closed!
Dude the original mafia was the first game I ever played and completed when I was a kid. I'll never forget it. Its still one of my all time favourite games and this remake really brought back a bunch of good memories. And the small changes in details of the story which they made really made the story feel more realistic.
I was actually born in the year the original was released in April, and I'm 19 now... damn that's old
@@greekswaglord-dathistoryla201 I was born a year later. I played it on my uncle's computer. Man those were great times.
@@alfredhoonter5955 that's crazy. The first time I played mafia was on my uncles computer. He loves that game. Told me I had to try it. He had a steering wheel lmfao.
@@johnkittz wow. Nice. My uncle didn't play the game much tho. Think it was just the demo of the game. Only ever got around to completing the game few years later on my moms laptop. Another game I used to play a lot in his pc was Midtown madness. 😁 Anyway mafia really blew my mind back in the day with destructible phone booths.
How do you pass the race mission in the original?
You keep calling the city "New heaven"... It is the City of Lost Heaven
Made me cringe every time he said New Heaven.
@@carrott0pgaming844 Mistook it for city in Borderlands 1 :D
It's not even heaven its haven
@@luca_magna7753 Ye i realized the city''s name is new haven but whatever, still its funny to think about it
@@luca_magna7753 Exactly lmao
When you consider the price this is an absolute must buy
How much?
Kataloon you can get it for $25 at Walmart. $60 for all 3 games and all DLC digitally
@@qwerty56122 honestly if you haven't played mafia i recommend the one with all 3 games and dlc it was on sale on Xbox not that long ago for like 30 bucks I think.
@@qwerty56122 Its cracked so download it free via pirate bay torrents
@@alphakira4473 Cmon, dont do that, thats not cool.
Remake is a modern day miracle. Feels just right, the devs put their hearts into it.
Love that they stuck with the chapter based narrative and it's around 15hrs.
more like 9 - 10 hours imo
@@theenhancedmatrix3127 That's kinda rushed, I spent a little less than 15hrs on my first playthrough.
This whole video is just dissing of mafia 1 cause it have bad graphics
lmao, they completly missed the point of original game, and messed up with all basics of characters or ideas of first mafia. If this is a "putting thier heart" i afraid what comes next from them. They clearly don't understand original mafia game. And i don't even talk about this ugly characters models...
Yes its great
Gta de is messtough thats how gta de should hqve been compared to original
Funny you mention 2023 and GTA 6. Commenting this in 2023 after the release trailer of GTA 6 and I will say these graphics still hold up amazingly well. I have never been a stickler for graphics in place of a great game but that sense of realism and attention to detail just makes the game so much more immersive. Truly a masterclass of a remake.
This was the best game that came out last year, it’s a shame that it went unnoticed.
It was between Mafia:Definitive Edition & Ghost of Tsushima
@Hue Wong looking back the Combat on the game was literally the Batman:Arkham series
@Hue Wong Never the less everyone can make his/her own decision. My route is usually only snatch it once its cheap enough on psn (if u dont hapen to be a physical collector)
What a coincidence, i just started playing this game, and currently 9 hours into the story. The atmosphere is really awesome.
Hi from Slovakia, remember playing original game in 2003 it was great and must say they made a good job with this remake.
I remember watching that family guy scene as a kid and being horrified because of that landing
It's awful lol
I kinda like that you can hear people breathe. To me it feels more real, People breathe I don't mind hearing it. It's like your there.
I know that is backwards because in real life you do not tend to notice peoples inhale/exhal in conversation. But thats my take on it lol
Mafia is so underrated and has some of the finest story telling in any franchise. I'm so glad I got to experience this game so young. I remember I was 3 or 4 years old and my dad would let me play on his computer and the 3 games I would always pick to play were mafia 1, GTA3 and Max payne. Yes I was allowed to play these games at 3 years old. Mafia was always one I came back to no matter how old I got.
When Luke said that Mafia was the first real narrative driven game, I thought of Max Payne which IIRC came out before Mafia. Both were legendary games but I give MP the edge for being able to be modded, unlike Mafia. I am excited to try the remake.
@@michaelhunsinger8351 you can mod the original Mafia
@@michaelhunsinger8351 What? Theres plenty of mods for Mafia... the biggest one being the Titanic mod thats going to come out after something like 15 years in the making :D
That race is definitely not easy still. I never played the original but, man, I loved this remake. I wish they had a photo mode because the setting is so beautiful. This game deserved way more attention then it got, if not only for the massive amount of work put into it.
Yeah, in the original, which I have played through like 10 times(no seriously, and I still remember the map by heart) I completed the race in the first1-2 tries on the hardest difficulty. Playing definitive edition on Classic I couldn’t get back from bertone to even start the race no matter how many tries I gave lol
They can still work on it but they not making any money of this game, sold bad, prob no mafia4 theyll work on other games
I beat the race on first try on normal settings … just brake a little before the curve , never while on the curve , and don’t accelerate while in high speed on curves , brake a little on straight line before the curve and turn without acceleration, just control the wheel, around 80% out of the curve accelerate again and voila !!!! same while on the streets , turns in high speed without acceleration gives more control angle
@@RobertC1107 bullshit man. the remake is so much easier. You hardly couldve finished the race(in the original before the patch there was just one difficulty, so youre boasting) in 1 or 2 tries, if about 70% of the playerbase were pleading Dan Vávra, the maker of the game, to make it easier, since they couldnt get past it. They even made a joke about the fact that it was unplayable back in the day inside the mafia DE.
I was playing on medium difficulty and the race began to become very boring and annoying - I'd be in first place and then on the final stretch of the third lap (just after the final curve) one or two dudes would magically appear out of nowhere and overtake me just before the finish line - seems massively rigged against you. This is the only part of the game where I had to switch the setting to 'easy' to get through.
The fact that there are still missions in the free ride... the fact that there is a free ride.... BRAVO 2K.... Bravo
Just finished the game on classic difficulty! I love what they did with the remake, and I hope the series has this feel in the future.
I'm so glad you gave this game some love. For me it was the GOTY last year closely followed by Ghost of Tsushima
If this game had the red dead 2’s level of open world detail and makes you want to explore it with interesting side characters, side quests and mysteries, lore with the time period. it would’ve been goty for sure
I started playing this game yesterday and I can’t put it down. I was concerned about some of the driving but the mechanism works great. Driving is no problem. Absolutely love the soundtrack, it’s fantastic. Having so much fun.
If only Mafia 2 had the same level of work done in mafia 1.
Both game stories just hit hard and I love them (mafia 3's story is quite solid too)!
Bold of u to assume gta 6 will be here by 2023💀
The breathing you speak of was absolutely not an issue to myself and added to the realism in the actors performance, it does not need a patch to “fix it”.
LOST HEAVEN!!! Good to see you covering this game though
Here playing from 2023 and I can say this game still looks beautiful
I started with Mafia 2 and was so blown away by that story that I desperately wanted to play the first but it was so outdated by that time that I felt like it wouldn't really capture the magic the devs intended. I later played this remake and it captivated me, I essentially marathoned it because I was so drawn in by the narrative, the characters, and just looking around the city (I'm from Chicago so it was extra cool). The ending also made me cry and not many games have really done that.
Amazing remake and the second game is awesome too.
4 times i've played Mafia Definitive Edition. Can't get enough of it i've found myself to be really connected to the characters and their lifestyle and whatever situation they have to deal with, i feel like i'm actually there experiencing it with them. By the 3rd and 4th time i played it i feel like i've known the characters personally and been ard them for years and not view them as just game characters anymore. It truly is one of THE BEST cinematic single player experience it's such a chill game i dont see how you can possibly hate it if you're into the world of Mafia not to mention the open world in it is freaking gorgeous and feels so alive and playing it in Noir mode gives off a totally different vibe which is a huge plus having that feature
They did a good job with this game but I wish they would add some side objectives that helped you explore the open world more. Your own safe house too would have been great. Same goes with mafia 2 though. Another big beautiful open world that didn’t have much to do in it.
Man, this was one of the few times where I was hyped for a game, and it followed through on EVERYTHING.
This was my 2020 game of the year along with ghost of tsushima lol. I didn't expect it to be at all. But I litterally beat it in 2 sittings. and then beat it again. I thought cyberpunk would take it's spot, but we know how that went
Man, I think you got the whole gunplay thing wrong here... This isn't really an "outdated" kind of thing... It's more of a preference sort of thing. I found it to be a VERY competent third person shooter, with realistic weapons for who you are, when you are, and where you are. The mafia wasn't going to show up with mortars, land mines, rpg's, sniper rifles, plasma cannons, etc. Those are different games man, different games. In the mafia in this time and place, or nearly any time and place, you're going to have pistols, shotguns, a tommy gun here makes sense, etc. It fits... and to me it felt fine, as did the audio on a decent PC with or without the headphones. In lieu of the cans it was a fairly potent speaker system with dual subs, 4 sats, a center, and all digital. Gets loud, has all the range, and to me it sounded like I was sitting with those people. And yeah, when someone would give a big ol outward blow it sounded like one. What it didn't in ANY way sound like, not even in your example, was a peaking mic due to being blown into directly. It actually sounded extremely realistic, as if a microphone wasn't even part of it. When I sit here in the real here and now, and give a huff out of my nose, it sounds JUST like that. When I do it into a mic and play it back, it does not. . . Not that I have some "save this games image" narrative to ride out, I don't care... Just gotta say that, I think you don't really have any ground to stand on with those two nitpicks at all. I know I used an XBONE controller when playing on PC, the only way I played.. maxed out at 4K... and it felt great. The snapping to cover, the aiming, the shooting, the guns... Was exactly what it should have been. Or at least that's how it read to me. . .
Yeah because the gunplay was made for controllers.. too much RNG and something I can only explain with the word "weird".. having a big circle where you might or might not hit the enemy felt very distracting and dont even get me started on gunplay while in the vehicle that was complete crap. The first mission and especially the ending was the worst thing about the remake. Direction coupled with very good actors performances really carried this game.
Damn. This just makes me want a Fallout: New Vegas definitive edition all the more. Just imagining it including all the cut content + not having to install mods just so it won't crash would be an absolute dream.
I had to pirate the original because I couldn't find it anywhere several years ago and immediately played it and loved it. I was so ecstatic to hear they remastered it and remaster is a lowly term I use compared to what Hangar 13 did to the game. They basically created a whole new game with the same story and loved it even more. Then I realized they did that for all three games and decided to play all 3. Such an awesome series...
My first Mafia game was 3, which I found to be an okay game. Despite this, I was still stoked for the remake of the first game. I loved it from start to finish! Shortly thereafter I got Mafia 2 remastered and loved that even more because of its story. I am a huge advocate for remakes because there are so many old games that I would never play unless they were updated to modern standards.
What are you like 10?
@@merkcityboy834 not everyone grew up playing mafia.
Great timing! I just bought Mafia Definitive Edition on sale, can't wait to get started!
You mean a new generation got the feels for that Mafia ending
8:42 foreshadowing of GTA VI omg
But Mafia still nails it
Dude, you need to update this video and include the GTA Trilogy "Definitive" Edition which turned out to be a cashgrab. Rockstar is finally dead.
I got this game having never played it before, for my birthday because I wanted to replay Mafia 2. I was automatically in love with this game.
The story is heartbreakingly beautiful and feels like it's an HBO show, the gunplay is clunky but still usable and the driving is so much fun, I just wish they used the map more
"However, in the modern day, it's basically unplayable" Yeah I'm gonna go with a hard, strong disagree on that one.
Possibly the only action game I've completed using mouse and keyboard, just because there were no other options...
It is, most people will not want to play the original game cause it aged very poorly
@@talpatv512 Yes, but that doesn't mean its unplayable, just that people are fucking dumb.
Same reason people complain about old RE games even though they get stuff done better than the remakes.
Oh so the tank controls have a small learning curve? LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
"I can't move the camera boo hoo." Guess what, people who never played videogames before struggle controlling the camera and the player at the same time. So newer conventions are flawed as well.
It's just a matter of perspective and how willing to give it a try you are. I'm sure the OG Mafia does -some- stuff better than the remake. A perfect remake, in theory, should provide a replacement for the original. The only remakes I've seen get pretty close to perfection in that regard are the Bluepoint ones.
@@tommapar "Just that people are fucking dumb"

@@bengercak8391 It's not elitism. I just trust in people's ability to deal with the jank just as they did back then, and still enjoy the experience but no, they prefer to complain and replace perfectly fine games with mediocre remakes like they did with RE3.

This game really is amazing. I did not play the first one, however, I can still feel the huge jump from the original to the remake. Great game.
Thank god I'm not the only one bothered by the breathing! I spent so many of the cutscenes cringing my ass off because of the borderline ASMR breathing lmao
This was the kind of review i was looking for on this game. A little history, a little comparison. This is the perfect review. Thank you and i love you.
I love the remaster but cutting down on the initial taxi section was wrong. You were supposed to hate the section, it was supposed to be boring so that you feel like Tommy and understand why he went and worked for the mob.
Why ? Seems like a dumb idea, instead in the remake he went I the mob cause everyone treated him like shit
The race car mission is still iconic
i cant beat that mission for 40 attempt
couldnt finish the game
Can we get an analysis of the Infamous games? They’re so under appreciated.
This remastered is BEAUTIFUL
Subbed. Such a thorough and sincere video.
This was one of my game of the year candidates and everybody was just deeming it nothing more than average. Im very happy to see other people who at least see it as something great.
one of the best remakes ever and its about my favorite game of all time. i couldn't ask for more
Am about halfway thru this and really impressed, it's a unique and excellent experience. So glad I picked it up.
THANK YOU!!! Couldnt have said it better!
Seriously though. I was 11 when Mafia 1 came out and I LOVED IT! It has a completly different feel and you can now mod it and fix many issues with it. Def Worth a play aswell!

@@Lucas02000 the wait is over
@@Platnium.Hunter oh yeah, its not on mafias level but definitely something im looking forward to.
Notification squad... Jokes aside, Mafia Definitive edition really DID something incredible...
Easily one of my most favourite games. The race on classic pushed me to my limits, but also gave me a feeling of absolute accomplishment once completed. Great review of a great game.
Really great to see this game getting some love, feel like it was overlooked by other mammoth releases when it came out but it was personally my GOTY in 2020. I loved the OG Mafia game so much when it first released and they absolutely nailed the remake.
I don't actually think people will look back in a couple of years and think it looks dated since we are kinda hitting a point in time where the visual quality is only marginally improved year by year but regardless even if it does this remake will still always hold up for me. Great analysis Luke, was a really good watch, thanks for giving this game the attention it deserves :)
As one who played the original Mafia many times, I just feel too nostalgic to the original voices and music. The remake feels too different for me.
Still it's good they made it for the younger players.
No, they didnt make it for the "younger players", they made it to hold up to modern standards. The originals voices dont hold up at all, completely outdated.
@@thechosenone2123 in the original voice over (czech) they used the exact same voice actors they did 20 years ago. how are they outdated then?
8:40 Ha! As if GTA6 is gonna come out in 2022 or 2023!
Great review. Great writing. Great narration. Great information.
Man, excellent video. Subbed. Seems like we share some of the same gaming interests, especially the historical aspect. Mafia DE is one of my personal favorites. I’m about to go back and get the Platinum Trophy.
Honestly I would like a Witcher 1 and or 2 remake. Same story just with modern resources.
3 doesn't need one. Like its years old but it's still gorgeous and amazing. The other two are eh. Like you CAN enjoy them but it stops others from getting into such amazing stories
The original is perfect you can't change my mind
Exactly. This remake is a huge spit in the face of the original. Changes to characters and the entire message of the story. Play like Uncharted/Gears of war... absolute disgrace
@@nomercy8989 gears of war doesnt have a memorable story, uncharted has a completely different genre in story, same with gears of war, atleast recommend some other mafia genre Games, also from what i have seen and heard, yes they cut some things like riding trams, etc. But they gave The (i think, again, havent played it, seems great though) love interest an actual arc while in The original there was apparently just one awkward scene at her place to develop her a bit, they also seemed to have removed some unnecessary driving around and instead put that dialogue somewhere else, atleast that is what i am guessing, it seems both faithful but not blinded to see a "outdated" game as perfect, improving in some areas but failing in some others, i personally enjoy remakes that dont blindly follow The original and do Welcomed improvements like demon's souls remake, all there i have to complain about is The easy to exploit ai, though if you still think this remake is shit while The original is better that is of course ok, it is your opinion and I respect it, sorry for writing such a long reply
Far from perfect, for todays Standards, even far from good
It is a good remake, but they still managed to alter the story in stupid ways. No idea why they felt that their brilliant story needed alteration anyways.
I really wished mafia 2 got the same treatment, but what a fun journey this trilogy is. One of the best game franchises. The music, the atmosphere, the little details and most of all....the steering that let's you keep the wheels turned when you get out. So many great elements to these games.
BOI did you even TRY the race on classic difficulty took me 3 days and the enemies still rubber band behind you sorry I'm not mad at you but that was a traumatizing experience 😅
I like the breathing matter of fact i believe that it makes the lines so much more realistic. I mean sit down and have a conversation with someone and you'll hear plenty of noises like that. And even then it adds character and depth to how the lines are delivered. Other than that this is a great review
smokeydogg
2022 here. Still looks amazing, and probably will forever
8:35 Is wildly accurate don't get me wrong, this game still looks amazing.
jason shriner said that one of the reasons Naughty Dog is remaking TLOU is because they haven’t created a game for Ps5, so the safest project for them is to remake the first Last Of Us.
Which makes sense.
Also it’s weird that he didn’t said it in his article and decided to talk about it afterwards in an interview.
They remaking last of us to fit Abby better and make her dad actually white instead of the black surgeon it was. They want to retroactively make joel definitely bad by adding in that cutscene where he looks like a maniac barging in the operating room which never happened in the first game. That is why they are doing it. To fit the changes they made. Guarantee it.
I play the original I remember when I would have to I didn't go up armed. Special execution for each person in that room at brutal...so Joel would look crazy.
... They can do that in a remaster
Getting into cover in the original was quite difficult because it did not have a cover system
I've been on the fence with this one. I think you convinced me to try it.
Didn’t this remake severely dumb down the AI and mission structure from the original. It’s fun but it’s pretty basic all around and the setting is the only major novelty tbh.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a buggy mess that plays like a 2010 game. People who think this game is actually impressive must have terribly low standards.
Just recently finished the definitive version. Had never played the original as it’s one of those games that was always on my list but never got around to it, but I absolutely loved it. I didn’t even know a definitive edition was even made for it until I finally got to it on my list and saw everything was updated. Instant buy and even went ahead and got 2 and 3, even though the reviews are mixed (and I know the DE versions for those are nothing like this one).
Had some issues with my 144hz monitor and constant flickering and stuttering, but got it all sorted after a few tweaks. I still have a few issues here and there, but the experience was still enjoyable.
I even went and downloaded a few mods to play in the free ride mode and it’s been pretty fun. It’s definitely satisfied my craving for a 1930s-1940s open world styled game just for the aesthetics alone. Highly recommend people check it out if they’re looking for a good story to play.
Gotta play this now
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a terrible remake, it removed a bunch of the original features and replaced them with just scripting everything.
I want to play games, not watch them. It's the exact same problem of scalping that Resident Evil 3 had. Lesser. But, it's the same problem.
Mafia 1 is garbage compared with DE, im sorry but if you prefer gameplay over story, mafia might not be for you. mafia 1's gameplay aged like milk anyway. There are always the ocasional nostalgic lunatics like you
@@talpatv512 God. I love look at screen. Very cool!
@@CommissarJimbo thats what you do in most games, look at a screen
I never played the og, but I liked this game a lot.
I know it was going to have the same gunplay as mafia 3 so I was not taken aback.
Loved playing this a few months back
Just finished the game, having not played the original and I have to say it's a lot of fun. The story is nothing insane but enjoyable and dosen't overstay it's welcome, but my favourite part of the game is how it nails the feeling of an interactive gangster film, from the music, cutscenes and characters all presented sublimely.
But holy shit was that ending very quick. Felt like I was reaching the climax of the story for it to just fast forward through the ending in about 5 minutes.
I played mafia 3 randomly not expecting anything good after the reviews... i ended up loving it so much its now one of my favourite games. Instantly played mafia definitive edition, and then mafia 2 right after. Beat them all writhin 3 weeks maybe? Literally aome of my favourite games now i cant atop thinking about them. I need a Mafia 4 to continue Joe's story somehow...
I love the mafia game series I played the first one when it first came out and I’m currently replaying all three of them but playing the first one I forgot how good it was.
Never heard of mafia series until this hit ps now a few weeks ago
Wow is this game good! Absolutely love the story
I just completed this game as of 19th July 2023, having never gotten the chance to play the original. I loved it. Played Mafia 2 and 3 first before entering this game and I loved how much improvement and passion Hangar 13 have poured in compared to the story of Lincoln Clay. Surprised that this wasn't listed as one of the best games to play at the time it was released. Certainly made it one of the best underrated narrative action games.
This version of mafia is the first time I've felt like I was looking at real life in a game. Something about the way they handle sunlight and darkness is just so perfect
I love the gunplay because when you kill an enemy they have cool dying animations. Like for example if there were a table they would die while leaning on it or if theres a wall they die hig the wall and slid down etc
Original made me want to develop games and then... few years later i was blessed to work on remake, cycle closed
Luke you're into mixing music, aren't ya? Plosives, breaths...I get it :) Its a cool perspective to have in relation to sound design. It personally fascinates me how a sound can be complex, rich and still healthy to hear hahaha
Thanks for the vid man
I just started playing the remastered trilogy on the series X...And WOW this is graphically one of The BEST games I’ve ever played. The lighting, ambient occlusion, character models, daytime/weather/nighttime reflections and animation is among the best I’ve ever seen. It’s hard to believe this is a remaster. The live Gameplay is CGI quality.
The comment about the breathing on the mic was fair if you didn't like it. But it was an artistic choice and not a flaw in the microphone or mixdown.
I personally like that they left the inhales and exhales in, it felt true to life and similar to older films such as the godfather.
were in august 2022 and i just finished the mafia trilogy. i gotta say mafia de's graphics are insane. i love this game. the story has a more realistic feel to it than any gta game ive ever played. gta iv was my all time favorite story game. then i played the mafia series.. love this series.
I just purchased this about 5 days ago and played through it, was very impressed. I'm halfway into Mafia II Definitive Edition and have noticed Mafia I is better. It was a true remastered. The audio is worse in Mafia II.
It's at $20 now on Psn, just got it, looking forward to it, great video by the way, thanks.
