I noticed the new definitive edition update absolutely kills the framerate. Adds absolutely no noticeable benefits, in facts makes things look worse. completely breaks the rear view mirror in vehicles makes everything bright red.

Terrible update. Genuinely shockingly poor work by the developers.

DerfDerf1808d ago

I don't have the frame rate issues (playing on X1X) however the res drop is definitely noticeable and not sure what the hell they did to the damn mirror, Looks like I am driving out of the depths of hell.

mrsolidsteel201808d ago

Yea I have to agree, the framerate seems far worse on the PS4 Pro. I’m not sure why they’re calling this the definitive edition.

MrSwankSinatra1808d ago (Edited 1808d ago )

Hanger 13 is such a trash developer, i really fear for that mafia remake, I've never seen such an incompetent dev since like Slant Six.

Profchaos1808d ago

It's pretty clear all the effort has gone into the remake the remasters literally did barely anything added HDR to 3 with no testing and up ressed 2 with again no testing and a few redrawn textures here and there pretty weak tbh.

The key point it's like they never play tested these games with the PS pro performance coming in worse on Mafia 2 than the base ps4 is embarrassing.

And the underpass in Mafia 2 dropping the frame rate to 20 on both the pro and the Xbox One X is embarrassing.

They lost so much trust here

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)

InklingGirl1026d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood1026d ago (Edited 1026d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1026d ago (Edited 1026d 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_B1026d ago

nah..its mediocre and repetitive.

Demetrius1026d ago (Edited 1026d ago )

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

XbladeTeddy1026d ago

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

Yi-Long1026d 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.

XbladeTeddy1026d ago

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

MadLad1026d ago

Weakest game in the series.

AuraAbjure1026d 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.

MadLad1023d 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."

Orbilator1029d ago

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

Duke191029d 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."
