Mafia : City of Lost Heaven DEFINITIVE EDITION

[Muggy]

Looks like Daniel Vavra is none too happy about remake
and who can blame him...

I could barely recognize Pepe's Restaurant without that Microsoft Paint sign

It seems like it will be a nice game, but no transmission, really? Where's the gameplay?

I noticed an interesting thing in the trailer. You can hear shooting from Tommy Gun and I think that sound sounds like "only" updated sound from original Mafia. That great. If other weapons will have "only" updated sounds from original it would be good. I am afraid of driving. I hope they won't change it to GTA style. I enjoyed driving in Mafia a lot. GTA has own style = arcade and Mafia has own = realistic. I think Mafia Definitive Edition is the biggest thing in the gaming world this year.

Does anybody knows when we would see the next movie from the developers?! Is it scheduled somehow ?!

[Bumper]

Interesting to see I'm not the only one worried about the driving mechanics - hooking up my steering wheel and just (more or less) aimlessly driving around Lost Heaven was one of my favourite things to do back in the early 2000s until around 2011 when I sold my steering wheel. In fact, the driving physics and excellent force feedback still hold up quite well, so much so that I'm really looking into buying a wheel again so I could enjoy Mafia 1 to its fullest.

Too bad the remaster will likely feature some modified version of the Mafia 3 driving model, which is by far the worst in the series.

Well, if it all goes horribly wrong at least we'll have some high-quality assets to port to Mafia 1.

Yes, absolutely right decision, I hope It would exist for the racing mission too among others. I've read in my native language that the role of Sarah will be somehow extended too. Looks like some line in their relationship with Tommy is going to be modified Congratulations to everybody with the good news.

[AMadeMan]

Based on the report, I assume it will show Tommy hiding his life from Sarah in a more personal perspective. This would likely involve Tommy being shown actively protecting his family and at some point Sarah and their daughter would find out about his secrets.

I have been silently reading this thread for a while now, and I have my own opinions that I want to throw in, both good and bad.

The Good: A Mafia game set in the 1930s with modern graphics is one of the things I've always wanted, and the game looks fantastic so far. The cars, the architecture, and the characters of the game all look fantastic so far. Lost Heaven looks absolutely breathtaking with modern graphics and lighting, and I anxiously await to see its performance in future gameplay videos.

The Bad: The game is being built on the Mafia III engine, which is already a bad start. The cars in that game had a very arcade feel to them, where all the cars could effortlessly be thrown around like toys. I worry that they may recycle the driving engine from Mafia III instead of creating something like Mafia I and II, where older cars were underpowered and felt like they had weight to them. If you wanted to throw them around, you had to put a lot of effort into doing so. They felt and handled like REAL cars, which is something Mafia III threw out the window completely in favor of "fast-paced action movie car chase physics!!"

The Ugly: This is 2K Games we are talking about, a company that already has a track record of cutting content from previous titles. They claim to have an expanded storyline, but I still worry about optional things like streetcars, easter eggs, and sidequests like the Lucas Bertone missions. Please do not forget that this is the same company that cut the sidequests for Mike Bruski and Derek Pappalardo in Mafia II. I'd like to be optimistic and believe them when they say "everything you want in Mafia, and more", but their past track record with games has me worried significantly.

That's all for now. There really isn't anything else I'd like to add that hasn't been said already. The remake of the original Mafia has me both very excited and very nervous at the same time, but I guess we will see what happens when the time comes.

To be totally honest I would rather Mafia: City of Lost Heaven Def Ed
was not released until 2022; don't get me wrong but as I see it the
release this year would be to celebrate Mafia II's 10th birthday whereas
on approximately 28th August 2022 would be Mafia City of Lost Heaven's
20th birthday since release in 2002. Also this would give the devs plenty of
time to get it right hopefully for once.

In a nutshell I am not rushing to buy this.

Chinatown in that driving bit, and a trip to the country obviously. Nice. You can see the reflection move in the Bolt truck headlight when Paulie hands Tommy the shotgun. That sort of reflection might actually be raytraced ? Everything looks a bit too shiny, not only in this teaser, but overall. I hope that is the least of our worries honestly.

I found this video:

Looks good. I hope the game won't be too expensive when finally come out...
