- Direct visual comparison of the recently released Mafia II: Definitive Edition and the original 2010 version of Mafia II on the PC.
#Mafia #Remaster #Comparison - เกม
Quick Correction:
-Empire Bay* not City
-you can see eyelashes on some characters, but its incredibly subtle
-Vito SCA-letta - not SCAR-letta. Been saying it wrong for years, never even noticed.
Nick930, 0:44 you said “Vito Scarletta” instead of “Vito Scaletta”. “Veedow Skaletuh” is the correct pronounciation. Btw, both games look good. But IMO the remaster looks virtually like real life. But at the cost of ruining some things.
hey when will you make warzone vs " " i'm waiting for so long
Distant lights aren't flickering, they're z-fighting
Any chance you're going to do a Saints Row 3 remastered direct comparison?
Hm, always thought he was saying scarletta this whole time.
If this game got the Mafia 1 treatment it would literally be goated.
Yeah, we need Mafia 2 remake. It has sooo much cut content...
@@h0nza_ and people will complain about "how bad" the remake is like mafia 1... Just because of nostalgia those iddiots doesnt like definitive edition and man mafia 2 itself isnt even made for profits, its free for mafia 2 owners. And people still complain... Why are people nowadays so ungrateful?
@@user-yz4ck8hn2m Because Mafia DE has some issues and Mafia 2 DE is shitty.
@@h0nza_ there actually is a lot of graphical improvement on the textures, yes it is not that much but its free for mafia 2 owners. So why is it that shitty?
@@user-yz4ck8hn2m Yeah, textures. This is the only thing that got better. There is no clothes physics, any other improvement and it's five time larger. If they charged price for it... Xd
Basically everyone got a tan and became cross-eyed...
And forgot to dry their hair...
They’re Italian. They should have a slight tan. Especially the southern Italians.
@Max Schultz its not winter the whole year
Max Schultz A slight tan is just part of the genetics. My father’s family is from a southern region of Italy. He is tan all year long. My mother’s side is more central. She is much more pale, like me.
If you wanna play the original of the game just play a dlc they legit didn’t touch the dlcs from my experience
Mafia 2 looks gorgeous for 2010 and stood the test of time. What a masterpiece
Can we just reiterate how nice the original Mafia 2 looked? I replayed it recently and the backlit clouds of smoke and steam, the soft haze and the attention to detail on distant objects still make it look great, not just for 2010. I wish they could have added more immersive activities between missions, like juke joints, maybe bowling mini games or more opportunities to sell stolen gear. But I still enjoy the main story and tanking around the city dodging the cops.
Probably because Mafia 2 released during the PS3 and Xbox 360 era
You mentioning "bowling", reminds me of GTA IV.
Bowling! Why haven’t you been calling me cousin?
Bowling in a Mafia game? Really?
It does not hold up to current day graphics
Wooow they made a 2010 game look like a 2012 game...
@A real bisexual petrol-head I don't bite buddy :)) nice username btw
A real bisexual petrol-head ...
@A real bisexual petrol-head He Meant That They Made The Definitive Edition Look Like a 2012 Game
the only made it worse
true, there was really no point of remastering this game lol
"Definitive Edition"
*removed cloth physics*
Yeah made me sad especially in winter and rain when you wanna wear an over coat.
5:07 sad
By the way there are cloth physics but they don't load peoperly and you need to manualy tweak them
@@DryTEKGI is there a way to fix it on console? I've only seen a PC fix
@@DIYStangsandFreedom Only PC fix so far as you need to access files
I wish they took their time like with Mafia 1, Mafia 1 is fuckin amazing in every way
@Cristiano dos Santos Gomes I feel like the driving system is too hard like its really hard to turn the car left and right majority of the time specially when you're doing the racing mission i kept failing on that mission.
@@justinportillo3996 git gud.
@@justinportillo3996 just like the original then
@@lazyifilms unironically the original feels better and more realistic
The easy cheese trick in Mafia 1 Definitive for driving is to use the ram/X button to take tight corners. And not use that turn limiter function, whatever that is.
This was a beautiful game. Made with true love for the setting. The atmosphere it gave I will never forget it.
Me too i loved this game so much it was incredible the feeling was just absolutly amazing
@@___moonlight___ I love it when someone takes the time to reply to a lost comment. I remember how beautifully captured the era was, the music, the hard mission at the dock, the red car assassination... and just how immersive I was when I appreciated all the love that was put into the game. It's a rare game... but I know exactly how you feel :) at least we appreciate such art :)
Nice game. One problem. The roads are dead. There is almost no car traffic. But it's the same with GTA games.
I agree, you describe it perfectly saying it was a beautiful game made with love and epic atmosphere because they made the 40-50s feeling with the music, cars, clothes and everything they made it with perfection just like Grand Theft Auto made the 80s feeling perfect in Vice City and Vice City Stories, I think Miami is the perfect choice for a game like Mafia and GTA that takes place in the 80s because Miami is what mostly of us thinks of first when you think about the 80s and american organised crime.
I think that is one big reason people loved Vice City so much and it was a bigger success than GTA 3 because like you said about Mafia 2 , Vice City had the perfect atmosphere and it was made with so much love and people can relate to a Mafia game that takes place in Miami with coke dealers, sportcars, boats, pastel suits, hawaiian shirts and also how Tommy Vercetti ruled his own mansion with an own army of goons.
I think thats why people loved it so much because they nailed the Miami 80s atmosphere just perfectly.
2k did the same with Empire Bay in Mafia 2, because I think most of us thinks about New York is the best atmosphere for a 40-50s Mafia game after all the movies like goodfellas and the godfather people relate to this kind of story they made in Mafia 2 because they made the Mafia 2 story like a freaking movie just like goodfellas very similar but in its own way. I think those games thats made in the right place in the right time and has a great independent story but with details that people recognize from the best movies and also small things they recognize from the time and place the story is based of, those games is made with most love and become the most successful games.
Just look at Mafia 3? Why didnt people like it? The shooting fysics is great but it was a game that took place in the 60s in New Orleans and the main character was a black ex soldier in a Mafia game. I think people not liked it because its harder to relate to that kind of story... Its not because people think a black guy cant be the main guy in a Mafia game, it was because people dont buy that kind of story they want to feel passion from things that they can relate to.
Trust me if Mafia 3 was based of black gangsters in the 90s Compton Mafia 3 would be a great success if they just made the story as half as good as Mafia 2 but that kind of game with a black guy that fights to take over a city based of New Orleans from greasers and mobsters, kids dont relate to that they didnt grew up with that kind of movies they grew up watching Al Capone, Antonio Montana, The godfather, Marcellus from Pulp fiction and Paulie from goodfellas, they want games with stories that relate to this kind of characters. Sometimes its not harder that, I dont know what the game creators and the big companies been thinking the last 10 years but instead of spend time making modern games with graphic that are over done and stories without love they should care less about those kind of stuff and instead release more games like this more often. After Mafia 2 and GTA IV those kind of games died and if were lucky we get a Mafia/GTA game after ten years. Between 2002-2010 the companies made us great games almost every year and at least we got great games like Vice City/LC stories to play between the bigger realses but something happened after GTA 5 and Mafia 2 I dont know what but now we only get those kind of great games one time every 5-10th year if were lucky... Not just gta and mafia went cold but also other great games like the driver series, the true crime serie and all those one serie games like Scarface, The Getaway, Max Payne and even Electronic Arts made us really great and beautiful games like The Godfather and the James Bond franchise was awesome even if goldeneye on Nintendo was my favorite EA at least made some good Bond games too like everything or nothing.
Its like the Illuminati bought all the gaming rights and dont let anyone make great games anymore just a few ones thats sold their soul to them, its like the top of the gaming industry hates us or something 😂 . At least Iam very happy they release GoldenEye on xbox but I wish everyone of those old ps2-xbox games was available in Xbox and ps5 store. Then I wouldnt complain they stopped making great games but we dont even have the chance to buy our old favorite games like true crime new york, Scarface and Vice city stories....
@olahmarkjozsef2712 The roads are very busy, busier than any gta game. The entire environment is much more immersive imo
"Sorry kid, bugs weren't part of our deal"
*epic muisc plays*
Gasps in Spanish
They did the same thing with the Bioshock remasters. Those things are harder to get running than when they first came out!
**angery vito face staring at our soul**
"Sorry kid, bugs *were* a part of our deal"
I really didn't like the change in the characters eyes, the way they move their eyes looks much better and realistic in the original.
BrokkenSkull The eye colors look so saturated as well. I really don’t like Vito’s blue eyes.
Umm no
The whole game aint a big change , since they released mafia 2 back then
That's how mafia works
I didn't like the eyes in Mafia 3 so I'm not surprised they botched it here. The shadows and texture to the models are really well done so it's a shame the eyes are a distraction
I honestly think they shouldve kept the night reflections.
Yeah.Unfortunately this game has no real time day and night, no weather transition as it is only available on mission. open world without real time day and night is bad. it doesn't even have a side quest.
@@gun8586 Ok but, he was talking about the reflections
@@gun8586 the city is just there for the story to be told, you can tell by noticing the lack of stores in the city that are accessible.
Totally this. The original totally gets right how reflections on wet roads look. You can check yourself next time in real life :)
@@gun8586 this is not GTA
Every single time I see a remaster I find myself loving the original artistic design more when I watch comparisons (and they ALWAYS seem to remove certain mechanics or physics.)
It’s always a lazy cash grab
Ever played age of empires definitive edition ?
THEY REMOVED THE ENTIRE PHYSX STUFF!!!!!
@@waffleMccoy wait how ?
@@jimaco0312 stop the bullshit go play arkham city remastered and come back please.
I will never understand why people dislike these videos, the comparisons are just great and Nick explain every single detail. Great video dude!
I really think some people just randomly click videos and dislike whether they watch or not. Its the only explanation with videos like this where he literally shows you what hes talking about so its not like hes making things up or exaggerating lol
Some people pleasure disliking others. That's understandable...
this barely has dislikes man.
But I understand what you are saying, its funny (or not if you are the content creator) to see people dislike videos just because of the news that it brings, or sometimes comparisons such as this, they are hating on the game and hit the dislike, although the channel has nothing to do with it ^^
I disliked this video because someone in the comments irritated me.
@@gots2getpaid262 Nice!
Now that Mafia series is getting a remake and remasters, I wish Godfather series will have some as well. But it's EA so it's never gonna happen..
I just brought this up to a co-worker yesterday. That first Godfather game is sooooo good. I bet a remastered version would sell even better than the original. Totally underrated masterpiece.
The Count it’s happening search it up
@@Longshlongjon22 Can't find anything on it. Do you have a link? Last I heard EA let the license expire and didn't have any plans to renew it
@@greenkorn69 like people wanted Scarface for ps4 never Do it. I miss games like this your right.
The Count i haven’t played The Godfather put I have played The Godfather 2 it is also really really good i think it is better than mafia 2 and mafia 3 in my opinion
4:02 lol people be steppin so hard its making the concrete dent
I feel like they just wanted to shell out “remastered” editions of 2&3 as a bundle to hype 1
This game was remastered just for promoting mafia 1.
No problem by me - Mafia 1 is probably my favourite game of all time; I absolutely can’t wait for the remake.
I bought Mafia 2 for 30 bucks with all the DLCs and everything included, will Mafia 1 be included to that deal or will I have to buy that separately?
King Croft I didn’t buy the trilogy because I already own Mafia 3, didn’t know about Mafia 1 being remade when I bought Mafia 2 for 30$.. how much was the trilogy?

Man I did the same😂 but my ad was apex legends lol

The fact they took out the line where the newspaper guy says “extra extra read all about it “ did it for me ... 3/10 do not recommend
my guess is that it was probably for legal reasons
@BeTheDeathOfMe Because incites hatred xD
They did not take it out, he just didn't say it in that particular moment when he recorded it. You can still here it in the remaster
10:27 vito is like "yep it's gunna be one of those days"
Many of the issues seems to have been fixed with recent updates. The increased (and unnatural) saturation is no longer there, and the parked truck at the very beginning now has it's lights turned on. However, turning off the annoying bloom effects still requires some manual tweaks, which could have been made simpler.
Yep I installed the game yesterday and noticed it.
Even if Vito has now some blue eyes 😂.
@@jaxthedisintegrator8096 didn't notice that. might have to check again
Sorry for the late reply but, did they fix the eyes being stuck in place all the time? For me, it's mostly the artistic decisions made that make me not want to play the DE.
@@pyrosiumofficialI'd like to know that as well, the eyes were a huge disappointment 😭
Real question is " Any improvement in the playboy magazines?"

@RushFlaut oh didn't know that. That's awesome
But I kind of like the old graphics better
@@MonotoniTV I agree, certain scenes look more natural and polished in the original game. Yet another cash grab....
@RushFlaut not if you had it on disc
@@MonotoniTV cash grab? Dude its free
What a great review. Enjoyed every bit of it!
Cloth physics can be re-enabled by going to the game directory and then going to the “EDIT/APEX” folder and then by deleting the “CLOTH” folder. It only seems to work for Vito though and not everyone else. Better than nothing I guess. D3T really dropped the ball on this version in so many ways.
Mafia II was way ahead of its time, some details look better on the original version
Mafia 1 was a Coppola godfather epic, alive and thriving, you felt the world and atmosphere of a time as if it were alive. Mafia 2 was a Scorsese flick, where you live in the scene and each is masterfully tailored to impress and breathe its own life. Mafia 3 was a Tarantino movie within a movie. Artsy, out there, over the top, and filled with racist characters.
This remaster bullshit is like some random guy found the original film reels and edited clips to his own liking.
@@BopaBola honestly, well said. I've never played the first one, but finished the second countless times and still have yet to finish the third.
nope
@Saul Riste There was a lot of content especially for the open world that was cut right before the release
It was average looking then, it is below indie quality now.
I don't know why but the lack of any clothing PhysX kills my interest. Long coats not billowing in the wind or jackets flailing during gunfights just looks so bad compared to how it was.
It's a bug - there's a way to force it back in. It was not intentional
@@Nick930 any idea how to fix it on console?
@@Nick930 when they fix the bug maybe will consider playing...
@@sam.butler nobody discovered a way to enable PhysX on consoles at the moment, sorry bruh, maybe they turned it off because it made game run even worse on consoles then it does
@@TesterKomorki thats really disheartening. How can they make the game run worse with so minimal changes? It was one of the Details I loved in the original and its ruined overcoats for me now
Picked up this game in 2022, idk how i missed it, it had become one of my favorite games of all time
Henry’s new face scares me 😂
Wow, what happened to Henry's face?
Like he hasn't suffered enough....
He was a rat anyway
Was he though?
That ending was so convoluted, you couldn't trust anyone.
@@Vujnovic634 it all makes sense that he was.
@@jeremydukes4228 funnily enough in the original script as written by Dan Vávra, Henry was no rat.
8Paul7 facts.. I don’t think Henry was a rat, He had already been a made man for awhile. I believe the Chinese thought he was a rat but they were either wrong or lying.. but who knows
The newspaper seller having no voice is a deal breaker for me. And no, i'm not kidding.
youre not a gamer.. youre trash
Why did they cut out his speech it made it more immersive
it shows lack of care/attention, the eyes thing too
@A real bisexual petrol-head a downgraded remaster ? I would prefer to not have one
Yes, I never wished they remake first Mafia. I would like to see only REMASTERED version not Hangar13's screw up (my expectations are based on Mafia III experience). They are even going to change the story without contacting original story writer who is still around in game business... And yes I think Mafia II still looks decent and not needed remaster. Adding missing parts of the game would be another story...
10:47 in that clip it shows the amount of effort they put in haha
I just bought the Mafia Trilogy Remastered, such a classic. Thanks to your video I know what to expect, keep up the good work Nick!
I don't know. The new visuals look so sharp and with that lighting, I'm getting borderline telltale cartoon vibes. I think the original looks better while technically not actually having better graphics.
I think the same buddy...
Couldn't agree more. Especially after seeing the scene at 10:13
The problem is unless the rebuild the game entirely from the ground up (which they didn't do) there's only so much you can do to "improve" visual quality in a game. A lot of the things that would make modern games look nice only work because they have a modern foundation to work off of. It's like when they started porting old games to PC. In most you could see how janky a lot of the animation and such was because you're now seeing it up close and in far more detail as when the games were original released.
You do the most detailed comparisons in all internet!
That's why we love em' 😂
Agree!! 😄
I love Mafia 2, it's one of my favorite games of all times. I bought Definitive edition trilogy on PS4, and to be honest Mafia 2 DE is basically the same game that I played on Xbox 360 10 years ago. The work they did with Mafia 1 DE is impressive, and I think Mafia 2 deserves the same treatment.
Yeah, Mafia: Definitive Edition got a *MASSIVE* remaster
@@randomuser8746 That’s called a remake.
The bundle for the Mafia series is basically just you paying for the Mafia 1 remake and 2 and 3 are thrown in there to make it more appealing
0:46 - anyone else notice the neck detail has gone?
Looks like Team Fortress skin detail now...
maybe a texture loading bug?
good catch
Definitive edition ruined my face
remake the godfather the dons edition..
That would be dank
Don's edition is a remake....
@@ShadowOfNexxus Still get the fucking point
One of my favorite games of all time. I just wish they had done little more to the definitive edition.
Why is the contrast so damn high?! It makes it look 10 years older than when it was released.
@A real bisexual petrol-head What can I say, it just looks worse! I hope Mafia 1 is not similarly bad, but my hope is faint tbh
@A real bisexual petrol-head can you stop copying and pasting your comments everywhere?

Mafia II: Marginally Improved Edition
Would be a more realistic name for this. Some things do look a bit better but then again others look worse.
You mean. Downgraded edition...
@Thomas Borisov I found the original better lol
some of changes i dont even see as an improvement. Like for example the character face shadows depending on the lighting of the room. It's too dark now. I much rather prefer the original version lighting than the new one. And it doesnt look realistic to me at all, the shadows in real life are not that dark in 99% of the cases.
You crazy
These are some of the best comparison videos I’ve seen I’ve just subbed
Dude mafia 2 and mafia 2 specifically will always have a very special place in my heart and my emotions were over joyed when the definitive edition came out.

I'm sticking with the 2010 version thank you.
Honestly so am I, until they fix the bugs and allow you to turn off PhysX I'm sticking to the classic version, plus I feel a some things they changed didn't exactly NEED changing.
Better pirate it then if you don't have it now. It got locked behind an overpriced paywall behind the definitive edition
@@tugrul5165 congratz
I'm going with the definitive version, it looks amazing and 10x better than the original version

I used to play this game when I was young and I remember liking it so much and I finished the game lol. I used to play it in PS3 and thank god they put it in steam for 30$ but you got both versions so that's actually good. For the definitive edition it's good but ngl the old one bring so much memories haha! anyway good video :)
Whose back after the gta announcement 📢
The eyes look dead in the new one. Damn. That's a bit disappointing.
That's one complaint I agree with, eyes could of been done way better.
Such a shame too, I hope they address that along with the cloth physics in a future patch
Bullshit looks great
Eyes look Dead in reallife
Having him close his eyes then open them again after turning his head seems jarring af

Mafia 2: retextured version
@@KingpinCarlito Mafia 2: Badly Retextured Edition
Same as the Bioshock Trilogy which was the same as the Arkham Collection which was also the same as the Silent Hill HD collection... It seems that every time a game gets a remaster, it ends up looking better in some places and worse in others. Nothing "Definitive" about this release.

This is off topic, but did anyone else ever notice the cut Apartment near that bar where the black gang is? I believe it was supposed to be the Scalleta Family home shown at the beginning of the game. The reason I think it was cut is for 2 reasons, first, there is a garage outside that is identical to the ones located at other safe houses, and also there is an icon for it on the map that comes with the game.
This guy can even compare my life.
with what?
execpt ur life is always low res
Compare it with my life
I just have to say, anyone who hasn't played Mafia 2 needs to go change that, be it now or wating for the Mafia 1 Remake to drop first. Don't let this slightly disappointing upgrade to the game fool you out of getting it. This game is a masterpiece, an experience, whatever you do do not miss it!
I agree. One of the best games I've ever played. And, honestly, watching this comparison, i would recomend the original version. I think that the old graphics are great, even for today. It's a must have experience, anyway. I also recomend to turn on the realistic driving. Discovered that option after my second or third time playing this game.

@@gerrthan9218 In Mafia 1 def. ed.:
They dont give two shits about cars, whether you‘re speeding at 100 miles per through the city, they’ll just walz out onto the road like its nothing. If one of Morellos or Salieris goons smashes his bones while running a red light in his Flame Spear at 100+, so be it.
In Mafia 2 def. ed.: They sh*t their pants if you so much as change a lane or turn your car around. Jump over fences or sometimes even into water, even though you‘re going perfectly straight in your lane and below the speed limit.
In Mafia 3 def. ed.: Peds will just straight up jump in front of your car and let you run them over, i guess life in New Bordeaux is worse than we first thought if they have such a deathwish.
@@Anthony-lz2dl In Mafia 3 they jump INTO the car, I have killed plenty of suicidal pedestrians.
So we have a game that got 90% of its content cut before release, and all we get is a lazy remaster, that gives everyone a tan, and makes some bugs worse then before.
90%? Surely that's hyperbole
Can you expand on that statement for anyone new to Mafia?
@@ryanpauloneeyed9669 They had cut alot of content for Mafia 2 same as with any game ,for example GTA4, but in GTA 4 they cut all the not so important stuff like wearable gloves, and more cosmetics etc... In Mafia 2 they cut out alot of the stuff that changed the tone of the game completely. Like different endings and things to do in the city... Allegedly some missions too... So they basically made the game more streamlined and story driven. Only by one narrative... Which in turn made the world feel more empty that people are used to in GTA style games... Bringing that stuff back in a remaster would make sense and enhance the gameplay of an old game.

Not only that, the background looks way more simplified..
Yeah in that particular scene I think the original is better
Don't forget the clothing tho... the physics in the original makes it look much better... The remastered one makes it look like an old arcade game...
Thanks for this review,You best TH-camr
I will never understand then downgrade to a “remaster”
Very poor tbh.
It’s a shame, since I really loved Mafia 2 back in 2010.
It deserves much better.
Mehhhh, they really ruined the cutscenes with these eye changes...and I much prefer the stoic look. It's not Vito...if he's worried.
@@night6724 true
The smog looks they took away just to make him look like he was holding in a poop are so awkward.
What did they try to do? Make a bad attempt at DeNiro?
Its human to be worried, he was going to prison..
He didn't look at all worried to me. As others have pointed out, he seems to be be pulling a smug wiseguy Discount DeNiro face.
8:28 I've said it before (regarding other games) and I'll say it again here:
To me, improving lighting and textures don't mean much when the underlying 3D models aren't given a polygon boost. Just look at the shoulder... :(
True. They went cheap on this.
No one messes with Crosseyed Henry... "I'm gonna go grab my glasses, my glasses."
Hey nice! Goodfellas reference. Just re-watched that one
@@Nick930 Haha.. Yeah, a classic one. (y) Also while I'm here, fan of the documentaries. Found you yesterday, was up all night watching. Thanks!
the npc falling at 10:30 is too funny
Personally i prefer the original. Their faces are a lot more iconic in the original. Overall though, i like the remaster, but im not gonna get a ten year old game that i own already and have beaten countless times. The original mafia though, im definitely getting that. Would love to play that with better graphics.
If you have it on PC u will be automatically upgraded
I've never played any mafia. Should I get the trilogy collection or just waite for Mafia 1 remake to come out because that's the one I'm really looking forward to
@@alkoholic3216 get the trilogy, you'll get Mafia 1 remake, Mafia 2 remaster and Mafia 3 with all DLC. 3 games for the price of one. it's an amazing deal for 2 brilliant games and a good game.
Iconic is just another word for nostalgic.
Third Eye it’s really just 1 and 2 you need to play.
3 isn’t terrible but it’s horribly dull in comparison due to the amount of grinding your forced to do.
2:04: When you get an upgrade, but can only afford the face 😂😂 Check the neckline!
Scott S thats so lazily done
😂 and they tried to hide it with shadow 😂😂😂😂
What people are forgetting here is the amount of code that has to be rewritten for this game. They did Mafia I justice, especially since the architecture was fairly easy to figure out for the console generations of that time (PS2, XBOX), but for a game like Mafia 2, This were written for POWER PC Architecture, which is alot more complicated to port over to x86-64.
I just want to clear one thing up, everyone seems to be mad at Hangar 13 for this remaster/ for the disappointment of 3 so they worry about the remake of the first. For starters, Hangar 13 didn't handle the remaster of 2, it was d3t. Furthermore, Hangar is just a subsidiary of 2K, so it's not like they didn't have access to resources and the creators of it or anything. That being said, 2K Czech (who developed the second game) have been merged into Hangar 13 since the release of 3. So we should be glad that a) a dev team is making the game for the second consecutive game in a row for the first time ever in the series; and b) they are going to have to full support of the dev team the developed 2, plus some. Things are looking good for the future of Mafia
Update! just checked out the PC port and a lot of the changes and issues that were mentioned for the environment like the cast lights and Vitos coat physics seems to be fixed now. For example the intro part when vito is returning to his family's place the trucks lights are back on, and the particle effects of the snow has returned as well.
What about his eyes? I like alot of the changes to the textures and models, but his eyes really bother me tbh.
@@pyrosiumofficial eyes are still messed up. Stick with the OG version.
@@iacovoskritz4896 yeah bro the eyes in a single cutscene really ruined the experience for me too
@@iacovoskritz4896 is that on PC only or are those problems still the same for other consoles
@@rebelpack948 the same
This game is a "remaster" in the same way Ubisoft's latest Assassin's Creed videos are "gameplay" trailers. lol
Bruh.
This aged badly
@@shane4429 bahahaha
the amount of "Remasters" i can genuinelly agree ARE Remasters can be only be counted on 1 hand if i cut fingers off
or "remaster" the same way prince of persia "remake" is lol
10:28 The guy that slips on ice, thats literally me lmao
2010 Mafia 2 is pure art and still holds up
They made some minor changes to things, while introducing a ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches that weren't present in the original, while at the same time not actually fixing some of the bugs and fixes that were in the original. lol
Seeing as it's Hanger 13 and what they did or didn't do with Mafia 3 I am not surprised.
@@namedoesntmatter9330 only Hangar 13 didn't handle the remaster, d3t did.
@@ryanpauloneeyed9669 I was assuming they were wasn't 100% since well they handled the remaster of Mafia 2.
@@namedoesntmatter9330 hangar 13 didnt do the remaster of mafia 2, but they did do the painstaking remake of mafia which is vastly superior to this
Thanks Nick, we needed that video. It's good to finally be able to see a proper comparison, instead of people crying about a "downgrade" with some compressed screenshots.
It isn't good bro.
All this has done is confirm that this is in fact trash. Better off buying original
Don't forget kids : everything has to be black or white on internet. Everything is either the GOAT or complete trash. Please use hyperboles if you want likes.
The framerate is shit tho....
@@ThoRCX I love how the replies above proved your point lol. It seems like most people can't think for themselves anymore, or at least can only think in extremes. My opinion is that the remaster is clearly better in some ways while lacking in others. But yet most of the comments I've seen for the last two days are just "it's not good". But that's just objectively untrue lol. Mafia 2 was already a great game to begin with. This remaster is interesting to me because they clearly made noticeable improvements in many areas (though people keep ignoring those improvements because it goes against their narrative), but they also made some strange choices that do take the game back a few steps.
I guess the point is the remaster isn't necessarily better or worse than the original, it's just "different".
Amazing !! Now we have all the technical problems of Mafia III... BUT IN MAFIA II :O
just for the record they did give some updates to the definitive, no more wonky smoke particles, like that trucks headlights and vitos shadow he mentioned, that happens now. It even makes lasting footprints for those who like those little details.
2:29 damm. Now i need my moustache fully rendered too
This video was made very quickly after the release and to sync those scenes in the game must've taken quite some time... Its people like you that help me decide to buy games like these. Thank you so much for the effort.
Very Good Video!
why wouldnt they just give it the mafai 1 treatment iw wouldve been so good
It's funny how they call if the definitive edition but it's buggy and needs patches.
It’s called definitive because it definit(ively) needs a patch
I’ll see myself out...
@@ThaBotmon lmao
And looks worse than the original
Love his Kermit voice
Same
Best mafia hands down ! Great story and I like how you can do a lot of stuff like open doors fill up on gas npc look more alive they’re doing things like looking in the trunk or fixing a car that broke down etc great game overall
8:21 I definitely see how they defined the cloth physics more
The definitive edition of Vito is really looks like his younger version of Mafia 3.
What😂
@@FadeDemon he said that the definitive version looks more like a younger version of Vito from Mafia 3
@@chriskoloski32 The doesnt make sense
Connor Hill how? He’s saying the definitive edition vito resembles older vito in mafia 3 more
@@derp7327 no he didnt
Why break it if it's not broken. The "improvements" look tacky.
Ngl I prefer the original in every instance of this comparison
There are some things I like about it but my main complaint is that it has too much contrast. Though one aspect of the game they didn't address and was a complaint of my in the original was the driving physics in the snowy areas. They are just so bad which is a shame given that they managed a decent approximation of driving in the rain in the original game.
