      I mean rewatch that scene the car scene at the end of mafia 2 focus on Joe it looks like they are talking him and one of Leo’s men and Joe looks disappointed and sad, I hope I wasn’t only one noticing but they keep moving their heads and leaning towards each other like they talking so it can be that and remember Joe is kinda injured from chapter 14 so I don’t think he has energy to go kill everybody after he killed his former boss Falcone he has nowhere else to go now but to listen to them and join them and his is aware the commission wants him dead too he was a hothead yea but he wasn’t stupid. Sad in mafia 3 he looks traumatized 😔.

      Leo wanted to separate Vito and Joe forever. he even orchestrated Joe's 'final moments' at a hand of another family he planned to get rid of (Macano).
      and Vito has a bad logical deduction skills, a term 'loudmouth fatman' could also be Eddy, his former superior. and there's a good reason Eddy is to escape, and later killed brutally, so Vinci can secure its place in the Empire Bay Mafia (and Chu's place as Triad leader.)
      it's better off for both, since Joe always coaxed Vito into problems, one after another, and one that brought Vito to jail, Joe is always a coordinator (with Marty, who also died guarding the duo's inserting vehicle).

    I knew it was joe for a FACT just the way he stopped for a second looked up at lincoln(the camera which is like us basically) and then kept going all while the camera panned slowly on him. If you know cinematography and making a scene you know little things like that can mean something significant. The facial scars only proved it because why would they specifically make someone with the exact facial scars as Joe and also doing the camera things at the end. It’s all to coincidental

    I never believed Joe was dead for many reasons most notably that he is a great soldier & perfect muscle. Too good to be wasted. Leo obviously replaced Vito with Joe as his prodeje. This story does need complete closure. I hope they do it finally in future games. But if they do, I hope they get the original voice actors to reprise these characters. I know Robert Costanzo is up there in age but I hope he would step off the sidelines one more time to play Joe again.

      Yea I think it’s fan service storytelling instead of good storytelling. The ending to mafia II was perfect the way it was. Vito being exiled for the Chinatown attack even though he saved Leo’s life, whilst Joe basically getting a promotion as his punishment whilst not having anything to do with saving leo, doesn’t make any sense. In my head it’s canon that joe’s fate is ambiguous after the end of mafia II, as it showcases the cold heartedness of organized crime, where there are no happy endings in the real world.

    My version of Mafia III would have started with the protagonist (a detective) examining the bodies of Carlo Falcone and Joe Barbaro right after the events of Mafia II in the prologue. You then play in New Bordeaux, where you become corrupted after a few missions, and it flashes forward to the 1960s, and the plot revolves around JFK, you also initially investigate Vito but work with him in a mission.

    I like that Joe survived, but it makes more sense within the lore that he died. Mafia II is very clear about the cruelty of the life and how everything has a cost. Vito lived because of the favour to Leo, but Joe “wasn’t part of the deal”. Vito comes from nothing, becomes something, then loses it all. That’s the core story of the game, and losing his best friend is a part of that

    What’s if they made deal without Vito knowing it. Vito leaves and joe stays helps them grows the empire. Then in mafia 4 joe comes back as old man and a don. Has his own family. Vito try’s go after joes crime family then shocked about joe being alive. They have disagreement about the pass. About Vito leaving without saying anything.

    Based on what you said,i have a theory:
    After the events of Mafia 2,Joe escapes the car but gets caught by Vinci,who offers Joe to join the Vinci family ir else,he dies.
    Because of not wanting Vito to figure out that Joe is alive,Vinci sends a body double to chicago,to make a cover up story for Joe,but the guys he's met with set him up,doing to him what Mafia 3 tells us.
    Also,the reason Leo protects Lincoln is because Vito is part of his organization and does not wish his death.

    There's only one problem here: Joe left Empire Bay sometime in 1945. Even if he had gone to Louisiana and had sexual relations with a Dominican woman, Lincoln would have been born in late '45 or early '46. Although the FBI information is not accurate about the date of birth of Lincoln Clay, he was definitely born in 1945, and not in 1946.

    Personally if at the ending of Mafia 3 Vito takes over New Bordeaux, he would a lot of power and connections to find more info about Joe and perhaps find out he is alive. In fact, after 17 years they would definitely be more smart about being a mob. But that is just a theory. I wouldn't be surprised if Mafia 4 gets a completely different story and Lincoln, Vito and Joe fates would be a mystery in Mafia 4, only player's choice in Mafia 3

Maybe it was because vito was more reliable and could be more usefull down there? or maybe just didnt trust keeping him around leo? hes definitly more resourceful than joe so he was probably more suited for the position down south where as joe is more useful as muscle but i dont know

    I was wondering, why did this driver look at Lincon, and why did the camera show the driver for a good few seconds?
    Now I understand. The easter egg of Joe is too subtle, I could barely recognise his face, especially he got older in Mafia III cinematics.
