Mafia 2 felt like it was trying to be a GTA clone to me, and I disliked that kind of direction. Mafia 1 was its own thing rather than an attempt to clone something and was great at what it did.

Mafia 1 Remake incoming?

 

[Wunderbar]

Maybe they've made 5 seconds of CGI Tommy Angelo because his original model is too low-poly to be shown in a trailer.

Dunno. Mafia 2 was a lot more linear and story-focused than GTA. It didn't feel that sandboxy like gta's feel.

This thread makes me want to play Mafia 2 again. Loved the atmosphere in that game, and the visuals. I had my frustrations with it as well, much like I did with the first game (just different frustrations), so Mafia 2 didn't feel like a step down for me. It was just a little different.

 

[PrettyDeadman]

The only mafia i didnt like that much was mafia 1.

 

[DalekFlay]

I doubt a "remaster" of 2 and 3 would have anything to offer on PC, so we'll see how they treat Mafia 1.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

They're not gonna add bikes retroactively, so who cares.

 

[Ivan]

Agreed ^^ I was actually thinking about replaying Mafia 2 not too long ago, thinking, damn this still looks good.

I'm always reminded of that scene regarding Henry whenever Mafia 2 is mentioned. God damn what a memorable, melancholy game.

Apparently these are screenshots of Mafia 1. I take 60 bucks worth of Tommy in high polygon please

I'm too old for this shit.

Hope they didn't change the car race at all.

Gangsters in posh suits: The Game.

That ain't a bad thing at all.

 

[Toffeli]

I haven't played Mafia 3, but I'm really surprised if they don't make the original full popamole.

 

[Rev]

I'm afraid they'll simplify Mafia to appeal to modern gamers, hope they just overhaul the graphics tho.
Anyhow, I have Mafia on both Steam and GOG and it's still a masterpiece, I replayed it last year and it has aged like wine. Even if this remaster/remake goes wrong (and ofc I hope it doesn't), I can always play that.

Mafia II btw doesn't really need a remaster but rather a Director's Cut made by Vavra and his team, so they can actually finish the game, fix the last chapters and add some of the cut content.

Pre-patch car race you mean.

I replayed it couple months ago after many years break, still a fine game. Still real nice looking too, especially with draw distance hack from widescreen fix.

I would be really impressed if they don't popamolize the remake.

Is Mafia 3 good?

 

[Mazisky]

Is Mafia 3 good?

It has gorgeous storytelling and presentation and horrendous repetitive gameplay, so you end forcing yourself to play only to see the next cinematic\plot point.

 

[Carrion]

The screenshots of Mafia 1 look great, but yeah, they're going to fuck up the gameplay. Health regen and cover system guaranteed.

Remake Mafia 2 with Mafia 1 combat and we'll talk.

Found the extended teaser in reddit. So here you go.

Am I missing something when people praise 1's combat? It's not the worst thing in the world but I thought people cared more about the presentation of the time period, the story, and the little details the game had. Only time I felt the gameplay complimented the story elements was after the introduction mission where Tommy has to slowly drive people around with his taxi job (indicating how fucking boring his daily routine was compared to the initial escape sequence the game begins with as well as what's to come). Not to say that going full 3 is the solution but I'd be lying if them making the gameplay core more like 2 but more punishing sounds a lot more enjoyable than doing 1's systems all over again.
