I have all 3 on steam, if 2/3 converts to definitive editions I may play them, but if I have to pay something I think that's a no from me.

Just replayed Mafia with few visual upgrades, haven't played it in a long long time. It's still very playable with mods in 2020.

If someone's interested give it a go: https://www.moddb.com/mods/mafia-remastered

Just unbox largest (2GB+) option as with it the game looks ugly and loading times are infinite.

I have never played a Mafia game but i had a strange "urge" to try Mafia 3 lately (even though i know most people hate it) due to the fact that i love real life New Orleans as a setting so this trilogy comes at a perfect time to also try the other 2 games as well.

Are they going to sell them separately?

 

[J3nga]

I would think that 2/3 should become definitive editions on steam, at least 3 for sure. Mafia 3: definitive edition according to PS store info includes base game and DLC's. So I should get the DLC's only since I own the base already? Makes sense to me otherwise buying it twice is stupid as hell. Also 3 has no mention of graphical improvements, so in reality we get remastered 2(although it remains to be seen if it's really a remaster or one of those gimmicky things that we get now and then that actually somehow downgrade the game) and remake of first, but if it's just half the price of a triple A's asking price that also leaves some questions if there's going to be some compromises or 2K being generous or some different formula.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

As soon as the trilogy hits Steam I will purchase.

 

[scalman]

No mention it's a remaster, it's really just a base game + dlc's judging by PS store and "release" is also on 19. check the trailer on ps store.

Mafia 2: Definitive Edition (Remastered) Gameplay

 

[J3nga]

Okay, Hangar 13 didn't work on it, d3t did, same studio that made Shenmue remasters.

 

[scalman]

shenmue ? not crash remaster ?

 

[VulcanRaven]

Okay, Hangar 13 didn't work on it, d3t did, same studio that made Shenmue remasters.

I wonder why it says Hangar 13 presents when the game begins? They must have done something on it. I need to finish Mafia III soon and play this.

They developed the original one!

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

They developed the original one!

Well, Illusion Softworks made the original but now they're Hangar 13? Thought they were 2k Czech.

 

[J3nga]

They developed the original one!

Not entirely, 2K Czech made Mafia II, later studio was closed and what was left became part of the newly formed Hangar 13.

It doesn't look terrible, IMO, but I may have been expecting too much from the Mafia 2 remaster. The screens seemed better than what I am seeing so far. Maybe it is the difference between PC and console version.

It looks okay in that stream, don't get me wrong.

 

[GobbledeeGoo]

Mafia 1 will be where it's at.

 

[J3nga]

Framerate choppy as hell

 

[replicant-]

Classic Mafia 2

 

[Optimistic Gamer]

Tomorrow iirc. I loved Mafia 2 but idk if i want to replay it before playing the original.

Wait if you haven't played the first one before. There's a nice little crossover moment you might appreciate.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Damn, why would you risk being spoiled?

Mafia 3 DLC now free on PSN

Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is the perfect opportunity to discover a forgotten classic

Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is a great reminder of the series' seminal value to story driven games

www.gamesradar.com

On Mafia 2 Remaster

While the gunplay and driving mechanics are serviceable, they're but an anemic facsimile of the better cover shooters and racing games of the time, while Empire Bay itself has little to enjoy outside the core campaign missions. Hangar 13 should, however, be commended for remastering 2K Czech's recreation 1940's New York in 4K, which does a good job of showcasing the city's atmospheric contradictions of dark and light, glamour and grime, even if that improved resolution isn't quite as flattering to the dated facial animations of its human NPCs.

Mafia: Trilogy Includes a Complete Remake of the First Mafia Game, Remaster of Mafia 2 - IGN

Mafia: Trilogy includes all three Mafia games, with the first Mafia completely remade with a new graphics engine, and added storylines. The full trilogy will be available on most platforms in August.

www.ign.com

Although only the first Mafia has been completely remade, Mafia 2: Definitive Edition features an ultra HD remaster that supports 4K visuals. Mafia 2 tells a different mafia story, this time in the fictional Empire Bay, New York post-World War 2. Veteran Vito Scaletta has to join the local family to help pay off his father’s debts.

Meanwhile, Mafia 3: Definitive Edition follows Vietnam War veteran Lincoln Clay who sets out to start his own family to take revenge on the Italian Mafia that killed his loved ones. Both Mafia 2 and Mafia 3: Definitive Edition is available today and includes all their post-launch DLC.

Mafia: Trilogy bundles all three Definitive Edition Mafia games, but each game will also be sold separately if you’re only looking to pick up one of the Mafia titles. Furthermore, players who already own Mafia 2 on Steam or Mafia 3 on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam will be upgraded to the Definitive Edition for free upon launch. The Mafia: Trilogy will also be available on the Epic Games Store at a later time.

 

[dolabla]

Physical edition on August 28th! Will be mine!

A physical edition will also be released in full on August 28, but only planned for select EMEA region territories.

So the DLC's for Mafia 3 will be given away for free since they're a part of the Definitive Editon?

Gotcha

I was able to buy the 60 dollar "Mafia: Trilogy" bundle for Steam via 2k's website, they sent me a key. Downloading now. Wonder when Steam will update Mafia 2 Classic to Mafia 2 DE?

Looking forward to playing through Mafia 2 again. I only played Mafia 3 on PS4, maybe I will like it more on PC. Can't wait for the remake in August tho
