Mafia III Version 1.03 Update Goes Live On PS4, What Does It Do?

"Mafia III’s latest update just went live on PS4, and was a file size of only 137.9MB which makes you wonder how much was really fixed in the game with all the issues and bugs that have been reported since it’s launch almost 2 weeks ago."

Hopefully it helps smooth out a few things. Game is still a blast

georeo2900d ago

I hear it's ok, but I'm going wait for a price drop, being that's it really repetitive Game play that doesn't switch things up.

Jon_Targaryen2900d ago

Repetitive indeed... If it had more things to do like car races, bar brawls or ANYTHING that made Mafia 2 great I would still be playing this.

Crazyglues2900d ago (Edited 2899d ago )

@gepreo wait for a really good sale, the game has no re-play value, I finished the game a few days ago and I can't find a reason to return to it, it's super repetitive, and once the story is done it's dead... I thought maybe I could still come back play on hard or something, get some stuff I missed but it's done.. I have no desire to return to that game at all...

By the middle of the game everything just felt like work, no fun, just wanted to get it done and over with, if that's how you start to feel in a game, in my humble opinion it's over then... Guards are dumb as hell once your in cover, it's rinse and repeat... with no Multi-player I could have waited a few months to play this... I had fun, story is great.... but it's just an ok game.. gets old quick.

ChronoJoe2899d ago

I think it's clear that the game wasn't quite finished when they shipped it. There are a few bugs and performance issues, but also features like the car racing that they promised are coming as a 'free update'.

It's good that they're coming, but they should have been there on day one. I think it would have really influenced peoples impressions and reviews of the game if they had more to do in Mafia III's open world. So it's a shame they couldn't get that extra content out with the game on launch day.

Clown_Syndr0me2899d ago

At first it was just visual bugs which I kinda shrugged off. Defended the game everyway possible. Then it became repetitive but I pushed through as the main missions were fun.
Then the other bugs surfaced, bugged map markers, bugged side missions, bugged vehicles that just float so I can't get in them etc.
I can finally admit what a disappointment Mafia 3 is.

The game is definitely rough around the edges but I still had a lot of fun with. Good ending(s) too.

hells_supernova2900d ago

Best story I have played in a while very satisfying ending. I would've given mafia 3 a much higher score than most I loved every minute of it

quent2900d ago

Probably for compatibility to access future dlc

OB1Biker2900d ago (Edited 2900d ago )

Warning. I got all sort of weird stuff pop up on my blackBerry phone clicking on the link

Jon_Targaryen2900d ago

Lets hope that in 3 months time that all the nitty gritty things have been ironed out.

--bienio--2900d ago

I loved. Story, music, gameplay are amazing, little bit repetitive but I'm ok with that.

Mafia 3 Deserves A Little More Respect

More people should be making a trip to this bayou.

Agreed....game was fantastic. Especially as a person of color, I enjoyed the side missions.

I'm Black myself, which is different from Lincoln who is bi racial. (It's trendy to ignore that mixed people are half White for some reason) What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this? Imagine if people playing God of War were like "Gee, I'm enjoying playing as a White person right now". If we want others to relate to things other than skin color, we have to start setting an example as "People of Color" (That term is so stupid btw)

InklingGirl802d ago

I wonder if this comment will get removed like mine? It shouldn't but I'm just curious.

LucasRuinedChildhood802d ago (Edited 802d ago )

"What would color have to do with enjoying a game like this?"

Skin colour matters a lot in the story and setting of Mafia 3. It even affects the gameplay.

The comparison to God Of War doesn't make sense.

I'm Irish (as in, a person born in Ireland), and I'd probably enjoy a game where you can fight in the Irish War of Independence ... a bit more than the average Brit. lol. Who cares? If a British person "Imagine if ...", I'd just laugh.

LucasRuinedChildhood802d ago (Edited 802d ago )

*said "Imagine if ..."

Also, it is cool when you play an Irish character in a game who doesn't put on a leprechaun accent like Tom Cruise did. "Shannon! Tell me you like my hat!" https://youtu.be/eKrEVWGTuR...

Terry_B802d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius802d ago (Edited 802d ago )

I played it once and it was very frustrating compared to mafia 2 I like to enjoy games not get raged all up 😂😂

XbladeTeddy802d ago

It was repetitive and boring. Not a good game at all.

Yi-Long802d ago

The game looked interesting, and from the trailers it seemed it had a great soundtrack, but the buggy release (AI) and disappointing reviews made me pass on it. No idea if they ever fixed its shortcomings post-launch.

XbladeTeddy802d ago

They could only polish a turd so much. Wasn't good at release and isn't good now.

MadLad802d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure802d ago

People said that about Wolfenstein:Youngblood. I played youngblood and it is a masterpiece and so awesome and entertaining and badass, with ray tracing too. Is Mafia 3 a great game on its own merit? I understand compared to the other Mafias, you feel it's weak.

MadLad799d ago

I respectfully disagree.

GTA V, Mafia, and Red Dead Redemption 2 VR mods are dead – and Take 2 Interactive killed them

From VG247: "If you’ve been enjoying either Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA V, or Mafia: The Definitive Edition in VR thanks to some handy fan-made mods, we’ve got some bad news. Thanks to a DMCA claim by Take Two Interactive - the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K - has led development on the most popular VR mods to grind to a halt.

This news comes via Luke Ross - the sole creator of a variety of VR mods for the aforementioned games - who released a lengthy post to his supporters. In it, he claims to have received a DMCA request from Take Two Interactive for his projects and that the company requested that he “remove all their copyrighted works from [his] Patreon page”. This was confirmed by Kotaku who reached out to Patreon directly."

Orbilator805d ago

Get the mods on a torrent site and tell the world were they are.

Duke19805d ago

I mean, if he was modding a game that someone else built, and charging for it on patreon - this seems pretty cut and dry for a DMCA.

If he was not profiting from it in any way though, would be nice to let companies let this shit slide more often

Top 10 Mafia 3 Characters

KeenGamer: "Mafia 3 has a huge cast of characters - good, bad, and both - but these 10 characters were the ones who stood out the most. With Mafia 3 set in the 1960's, these characters are influenced by the ever-changing times and the people surrounding them."
