Thank you for this!

I’m anxious to see the final reviews & impressions on this game. I’m really intrigued by it, but I’m also nit picky with a few things

1. The animations- Moving in and out’ve vehicles is rather quick, as does the gun fire animations. It just looks unnatural and for me takes away from the realism they’re aiming for.

2. The city looks really beautiful, and they seem to have really captured what we’ve been shown incredibly well and true to the time period. I guess this isn’t a nitpick but more of a hope, and I’ll be a little disappointed if it’s not in (not a make or break tho) that we can go into some random buildings, to change clothes, buy guns, and so on. I’d just add a greater level/sense of realism to this beautifully crafted world. But to me, if they nail that iconic story like they did the original game, while also bringing something great and unique to the added scenes and so forth, I’ll walk away happy, I hope lol. I believe I will.

I just hope fans aren’t let down by this....

Looking forward to the trilogy set. Going to start the original Mafia later

Apparently this is the one to get. And the triliogy isn't worth it.. as 2 is mediocre and 3 is a turd.? That's just internet speak but I'm thinking just get this definite edition myself and skip triliogy. This is the one they put most work into. As in a complete remaster not just a touch up.

chicken_in_the_corn1711d ago

2 is great. Definitely worth checking out. 3 has a great story and soundtrack but is very repetitive

Chriswheeler221711d ago

2 is great, if you like the style of 1.

I also enjoyed 3 alot but it was repetitive. I like the narrative and gun play was solid imo

BenRC011711d ago (Edited 1711d ago )

Cant be bothered to read but if embargo is post release then it sucks obvs.
I hope it doesnt, I really like the look of it

Chriswheeler221711d ago

Read it for you. 24th at 11 am eastern is the embargo lift.

Mafia Proves How A Well-Presented Story Can Overcome Terrible Gameplay

Shaz from GL: "Sometimes a game's story can be so captivating and so well presented that it makes up for its lacklustre gameplay; such is the case with Mafia: Definitive Edition."

Have to agree. Love the game as a whole, but the gunplay is pretty lackluster. Wouldn't call it outright terrible though.

When I went into Mafia I was looking for some Godfather game style gameplay. While Mafia 1 and 2 have disappointed me on this front I am hoping for the new one to satiate.

Despite this I do agree with the writer here I love me some Mafia stuff even if it isn't as good (imo) as the Godfather game

jambola275d ago

eh, it was the ps2 era
most games had terrible gameplay
especially shooters, especially 3rd person shooters

Profchaos275d ago

Yeah in a way played Mafia one after spending months playing vice city and the gameplay felt so clunky in comparison so there was certainly better games it there that felt good to play

Friendlygamer275d ago (Edited 275d ago )

Now that's crazy revisionism to me, in the ps2 era many devs mastered 3d graphics and gameplay, heck I would say that we really haven't evolved all that much past games like dmc 3, metal gear 3, Splinter cell, resident evil 4... in design, as a matter of fact I would say we went backwards in some aspects (physics and experimentation). That era has some tight shooters too like : the darwatch, black, king kong, psy ops, gun, the punisher

PrecursorOrb275d ago

1 and 2 had fun gameplay for their time. Yeah comparing them to shooters now is a little unfair imo

Iceball2000275d ago

Honestly the original PC version I find was better. But the remake was good too.

sagapo275d ago

I completely agree. Nothing beats the original imo.

Yep the best they did then they tossed out the horrific mafia 2 remake that is still broken to this day.

chicken_in_the_corn299d ago

That wasn't a remake. It was a remaster.

just_looken299d ago

@chicken

They redid the character models added more destruction and screwed with he art/environment

Its not even close to mafia 1 but not a remaster as in a graphics boost they did more than a graphics upgrade.

I sort if disagree with The Getaway. Playing it all those years ago, it had a dodgy control system, more so vehicles, was slow and was graphically unfinished. The sequel was even worse and the third game on PS3 was canned. I think Sony should take both games and merge them into one (as with the soon to be released Max Payne 1 and 2). Weird how Sony messed up The Getaway never to be seen again.
