It's a shame. Mafia 2 just feels so empty. With some life sim elements, where you can buy things and manage criminal rackets, and a storyline that wasn't cut down, it could have been the best crime game ever made.
If it wasnt for 2K, the game would be 8 chapters longer with 4 different endings...When it was being developed solely by the Czech team, it was all different and it might've turned out better, if Daniel Vávra was the head of development
Man mafia 2 was already great as it is, but learning about the cut contents is just a shame. Heard originally they were gonna make a entire campaign where you were in Sicily during the War, instead of one sole mission. Maybe more chapters in prison as well. Option to join the Vinci Family. Etc. Its probably too late for them to make a remake and add all this in, but Mafia 2 seriously had the greatest potential
They had to delay the game because of 2K joining mid-development...whenit was made solely by Czech developers, the game was suppossed to be approx. 8 chapters longer with something around 4 endings...however 2K games went into the process and made way too many changes which resulted in a lot of cut content and shorter campaign
Maybe a Mafia 2 Remake with all the cut content in 2030. The worst part that 80% of the cut content from Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 was used on Red Dead Redemption 2...

I honestly think if the Former(s) were they would put GTA V to shame and would at least match the quality of Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 to say the least.
@@RomanSionis85 Ofcourse they weren't given the same treatment. GTA V was developed by a team of 1000 developers, over a 7 year period, with a budget of 250 million. While Mafia III was developed by 150 people, at a budget of around 80 million....
I think they should make a new mafia game with all of these contents instead of remake old game, keeping remake old games is kind of lazy and some of the cut contents here if being brought back could affect a lot on the story line
i was playing mafia2 yesterday and i was near a boatyard and there was literally stealth-grass. It was like 3ft tall grass, when you walked inside it he automatically crouched and walked slower. I think it was a stealth system or something that never got added
Now it makes sense. Open world is not-so-open, even the story is feels rushed near to the end and ends without real conclusion. With those cut content, Mafia II could've been a masterpiece. But it's just feels... not enough.
There was a lot of videos from devs diary, where you could see a lot of cut content. Those probably removed now after 10 years. From 2010 game industry has changed. Devs were told to rush the game out. I remember when DLC era has started. You have to pay same amount after game release two weeks later for additional shitty content. Its same situation these days. Games has good graphics (but everything else is quite piece of shit) and us (buyers) are attracted by "first look". Me as a game developer can clearly see how much effort was put back then and how much is now.
Moc hezká práce! Oceňuji zpracování, využívání videí a i to, že autoři módů a videí nepřijdou zkrátka. Speciální plusový bod za využití skladby Prison Yard, kterou prostě miluji. Opravdu povedené! :)
Seeing cut content always makes me sad. I wish game developers would just leave cool little details like these into games like this even if it does mean a few more months and even a year working on the title. Red Dead Redemption 2 took years to complete and what we got was a huge interactive and living open world, and we all know how well that game was received. Well, the singleplayer anyway.
The closest detailed game to this I’ve EVER played is RDR 2, and that was released in 2018 so for back in 2010, this game was way ahead of time... with these tiny little details, it would make the game a whole lot better but with mafias details already it’s a great game... I personally would’ve liked to have the barber shop and the real estate place that was cut...
Godamnit, I knew it had some cut content, but had no idea it was this much... I still play Mafia 2 from time to time, can't imagine how great of a game it would have been if it was finished as intended...
Imagine if they made a REAL DEFINITE EDITION, where they restored a lot of cutted content (like presented in this video), instead of cheap texture replacement. But now it's 100% that we never see completed game. It's really sad.
After this Video I am nearly start crying, becaus I love Mafia II. For me it is my favorite game. I hope very much, that they plan a remaster with the cutted content now included. Great video!
At 2:50 you can see some picture of cars on a board, maybe there are a couple of missions there, maybe some heist or stealing some cars for the car vendor. Maybe this way you can unlock unique cars that you can buy after stealing them for this car vendor maybe some discounts aswell who knows 😏🥂
They remastered it, and they ignored all the cut content that could have make this a HUGE game! The combat system and house buying could have been amazing!
Kinda glad there's no rep system, being a hotshot taking away the risks. I like that it's just about the story mostly. I would have liked public transport though.
There are rumors that they are remastering this game. I wish they would bring back some of these cut content so we can play this game as it was meant to be played :)
KMac are you kidding🤣🤣, mafia 2 was a game that was released with major cut content and it was still a amazing game, mafia 3 was sub par at best if anything mafia 3 was the insult
KMac the game was near enough cut in half gameplay wise there was supposed to be so much content but for a game with this amount of cunt content it still was better than mafia 3
I always felt Mafia 2 was not complete. It felt pretty bland compared to Mafia 1. Also there were a lot of options in place that did not really have a use. Opening the trunk for example.
They had to delay the game because of 2K joining mid-development...whenit was made solely by Czech developers, the game was suppossed to be approx. 8 chapters longer with something around 4 endings...however 2K games went into the process and made way too many changes which resulted in a lot of cut content and shorter campaign
If 2k had added somehow the deleted content in Mafia II remastered i wouldn't be so disappointed about it. let's hope they will add this features in the mafia 1 remake .

Those who expected the Mafia 2 definite edition adding them back seems to be too hopeful. Considering the original devs probably no longer works with 2k games. Its probably better that way.
Original devs were cut away from 2K games...2K Czech is non-existant at this point...they are also making the remake of Mafia 1 without Daniel Vávra who is the man behind the story and idea of Mafia series...
Whaaat the hell??!!! They fucking deleted 70% of the entire game, i mean these features are insane and they just removed them like it was nothing....I'm speechless, total disappointment.
I hope Mafia 2 Remastered add all these cut content back in its sad seeing so many things could from this game this game could of been so much bigger and even better
The fact that they cut public transportation out of the game is pretty disappointing Cuz some missions would leave you out of nowhere and the only options you have left is by robbing ped's cars
It's a shame that things happened the way they did, but game development is risky and expensive, so that just happens sometimes. But I find the definitive edition to be inexcusable.
Ah, I wish they would remaster this game properly, with all the content left out. It's a shame the definitive edition didnt include all of it. Even with all the cutdowns, the game was absolutely enjoyable.
It's very nice all that stuff but actually its not really necessary because mafia 2 its all over the story mode and a gameplay and this is why you can't play free room after u finish the game
Wow I always thought mafia 2 was amazing when I first played it. Mainly because I loved the 50s atmosphere. I really hope they get a chance to make another game in this Era with all of this stuff included. I mean just imagine buying a car or house. Imagine free roam online.. That's stuff GTA online did years later. If only they just had more time 😔
