I kinda hate to be this way (not really), but is it confirmed that the Playboys will still be in Mafia 2? I know in this day and age that could be seen as problematic or some shit. But god damn if they weren't the BEST collectibles ever in a game. Loved seeing those missle tits of yore.

Those Mafia II sceenshots look great. I like the new lighting effects. I found this comparison video:

The Mafia 2 screens look pretty good but still gotta say hot damn at the Mafia remake screens

They are great but they look almost too good. The video footage in that trailer doesn't look as good in my opinion.

I think Microsoft would have won many hearts if they have shown clips from Mafia 1 remake in their Inside Xbox show! It would have 2000% better than what they have shown combined!

I remember spending ages on that. People on my old forum were buying racing wheels just for it. I finally beat it with a keyboard and mouse and a few weeks later they released a patch that lowered the difficulty of it.

Man i was hyped AF to replay Mafia II enhanced but apparently all resources went on the first one (not complaining) because this just looks like a butchered version of the original, like too many awful remasters. What the actual fuck have they done?
Plus going by the leaked trailer other than screwing the atmosphere (which was the best thing in the game for me) like cheap remasters always do, no cloth physics even compared to past gen consoles... what a shame.
Hope it’s just work in progress footage but at this point original PC version definitive version by far for me.

Yeah I'm not holding my breath for the HD remasters. Part 1 is the one I'm looking forward to the most.
However, I'd love it if they restore the cut content for Mafia 2 and actually finish the damn story. I refuse to believe that was the actual ending. A cliffhanger just as the story was starting to cook. Bullshit.

Wasn't that cutscene pre-rendered in the original game? Many cutscenes were. I wonder why they would look different? Maybe they are replacing them with real time cutscenes. That was done in Batman Arkham remasters.Man i was hyped AF to replay Mafia II enhanced but apparently all resources went on the first one (not complaining) because this just looks like a butchered version of the original, like too many awful remasters.

Playing Mafia 2 right now. Cutscenes look like shit but the comparison shots only seem filtered to hell and back.

I've played original Mafia when it launched back in 2002 and that game impressed me and my brothers. So I had high hopes for the sequel, but I was disappointed by it. Narrative isn't nearly as good, gameplay did not get rid of unnecessary mechanics, Vito wasn't as interesting character as Tommy was to me, him and Joe are pretty much just some dumb wannabe gangsters, huge stepdown in writing and narrative in my opinion. And if I'm not mistaken 10 years ago when it came out it wasn't received that well. Out of trilogy I really care about the remake the rest can be skipped for all I care.

Mee too, but damn, they could have waited for next gen for II and provide a really definitive version, which in the end for me could be even just the PC version at max with some texture redone and LOD eradicated.
I wouldn’t exaclty hold my breath on that.
Arkahm Collection in my opinion is overall awful, i’d replay the originals on PC every single time despite the tons of upgrades just like in 99% of the cases. Why couldn’t “Remasters” be literally what their name suggest? Just upgrade technical aspects of the game without reinventing yourself as an artist and mess with every single thing actual artists hired to do that and that alone made. Only remaster i’ve played i have no issue whatsoever with is TLOU, outside of 30fps modes playing ten times worse than the original on PS3 but, since i hate the so called “better shadows” in them which in reality are bugged af, 1800P 60fps really is what could be called a definitive version of a game.
For cutscenes AI learning upscales are a thing now, if a single guy in a room could make old cutscenes look almost perfect why couldn’t a team of devs do better? But as usual they messed with the look of everything so those would look out of place and here we are.

Same here played the original when it came out and it was a masterpiece, also visually a absolute stunning game. Sadly second and specially 3rd one where straight up trash and didn't continou its legacy.
I can't wait on this remake, as the old game aged poorly this will be played by me for sure.

Never played any of the Mafia games except for a tiny bit of 3. Are they all basically just GTA-like? Or do they differ significantly in any way?
A remake of the first game is something I can get excited about. But a re-release of the second? I was trying to remember why I dropped it all those years ago. After checking out a full game walkthrough on youtube, it was pretty obvious why. The story seems to lack focus. Lots of characters, but none of them are memorable or likeable. It doesn't even start to get interesting until at least half way through.

Finished Mafia 2 today. 13h well spent. Fuck that ending though.

Not GTA at all. 1 and 2 (haven't really gotten far in 3) are 100% linear games with full focus on the main story line. The city is mostly there to give you a sense of place and time passing by having you drive to missions and home.
not that hard to watch at least one gameplay video and decide for yourself

Completely different. Mafia is more serious and has a story that could rival any of the classic gangster films.
It's not meant to be a silly, hooker killing, car stealing simulator like GTA, but if you're looking for an engrossing, immersive experience, it'll be right up your alley.
