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.

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.

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

@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...

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?

@@skokfps8492 was it?

Best achievement I ever unlocked

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.

Well That's Bullshit

A real bisexual petrol-head Can’t tell if you’re joking

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.

That's why we love em' 😂

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".
