Mafia: Definitive Edition appears a bit good. The remake of the 2002 open world crime ’em up was introduced with a particularly temporary trailer a couple of weeks in the past, but it surely was unclear precisely how remade it could be. A brand new trailer in the present day makes clear that the reply is: quite a bit. It’s a ground-up recreation, and the screenshot above offers a way of the graphical improve.
Here’s the trailer:
Chatter with Hangar 13 throughout in the present day’s PC Gaming Show talked about that the story was principally the identical as earlier than, charting Tommy Angelo’s stand up by against the law household and eventual escape. Lots of the remainder of it has been tweaked and modernised, from metropolis streets which are newly busy with pedestrians to vehicles that benefit from trendy advances in wobbling extra when it’s wet out.
I liked the unique game again in 2002, and it was on each prime ten checklist I made for 5-10 years afterwards. It’s aged poorly although, worse than much less bold games from the period, and the unique is a troublesome game to return to now. The streets are largely barren, the identical handful of voice traces repeat again and again, and it’s usually acquired “this had to fit onto a CD” written throughout it. John discovered the identical when he returned to Mafia a couple of weeks ago.
This is a narrative trailer and so it’s nonetheless unclear how components just like the capturing and mission construction have been modernised, however I’m correctly excited to seek out out.
