Mafia 2 Definitive Edition feels like a bare minimum port with plenty of bugs and a lack of visual or performance improvements as per early reports.

I saw a walkthrough with no commentary uploaded about two years ago on youtube last night, PC of course. Graphics look even better than the remaster, and one of the main bugs is sound only being on the left and major framerate dips. I'm thinking I'm just going to watch the walkthrough and then buy the first one, since it was made from the ground up anyhow.

I think all their efforts went on the remake, and just did the remasters quickly.

Profchaos1858d ago (Edited 1858d ago )

Yeah I copped flak for calling it a lazy remaster but they did drop the ball. In addition mafia 3 now has issues with the new HDR implementation and on my pro I'm experiencing frame rate issues that didn't exist prior to the patch

karlmarblazehorn1858d ago

The company that did mafia 2 botched shemune as well there known for making bad ports of games even when they have over a year to make them.

criticalkare1858d ago

i am cautiously optimistic about mafia 1 remake i heard its using mafia 3 engine.... unless they tune the engine optimize it better not looking forward to performance in that game....

DankSinatra1858d ago

I don’t get why people keep saying the original had better graphics. This remaster isn’t a good one but It definitely looks better than the original.

FlavorLav011857d ago (Edited 1857d ago )

Not everybody. Mafia2 is running like a champ at 4K60 or 1440/unlocked on PC for me. Optimizations have looked good from what I’ve seen, no bugs so far. I didn’t play the original so I’m just judging what I’m seeing, super impressed considering how old this game is...and it’s still amazing to play! Super stoked for the full remake of part 1 though, that one is gonna melt some eyeballs.

Mafia 3 on the X1X is also suffering from major graphical issues, here are just some of the people with the same issues.👇🏼

XboxOneX graphics downgrade?
Since the game was updated today the textures don't look as sharp as they were previously, they're really blurry looking now and it looks to me like the resolution has been reduced.

I tested the PS4Pro version as well and the graphics look a lot better on that version now.

I hope it's just a bug that will be quickly rectified.

Anyone else noticed this?

Yes this is the case. The upgraded to Definitive Edition downgraded the graphics resolution (myself on Xbox One X). basically the game is rendered in 480p now - totally unplayable. Please send a support ticket request.

Profchaos1858d ago

My PS pro version actually looks weird when it comes to things like sunsets it looks off I swear it was much better previously and frame rates also feel like they have dropped on the pro I assume this is because previously we utilised the boost mode vs the pro patch

TommyVercetti881857d ago (Edited 1857d ago )

I already send tickets to 2k but they dont respond.

The7Reaper1858d ago

I'd be happy with 30 frames if it was at least stable

"Doesn't Even Run At 60 FPS"

No kidding, you're playing it on current gen consoles.

Knightofelemia1858d ago (Edited 1858d ago )

Bioshock still looks fantastic, one of my all time favorites.

Yui_Suzumiya877d ago

Beyond: Two Souls on PS3 can compete with modern day graphics.

SonyStyled877d ago (Edited 877d ago )

Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3

jasonismoney877d ago

I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.

SonyStyled877d ago

@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think

cthulhucultist876d ago

Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen

Fist4achin877d ago

I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.

SonyStyled877d ago

They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though

JEECE877d ago

Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.

iNcRiMiNaTi877d ago

It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good

JEECE877d ago

In terms of art style it still holds up.
