Then what did you expect? Honestly? I mean it's pretty amazing that they are finally remaking it. I don't know if it as great as I would like it to be. But definitely beats play that legendary racing mission with keyboard again. It was pain in the ass back in the day. And nowadays it's just torture.

Now you've got a remake of Mafia 1, which is the best thing about this move, and then there's the concept of raising IP awareness which can help to boost the marketing of the next game. yeah I got it. but the announcement of a remake is nowhere near as exciting as the announcement of something new. like I said. I've already played these games. I've already played these missions. multiple times. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergiu Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This remake is RE2 Remake tier. Follows the same general story, atmosphere and environment but adds extended plot and is rebuilt from zero. It is a not new game new game basically which you should not miss out on. Matt190 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 To be honest (controversial opinion ahead) I'm more excited about the Mafia 1 remaster than Red Dead Redemption 2, which I still haven't played. I too would rather have a fully new experience, but in this case the original is such a great game, but so old and outdated it makes me excited to know its great story will be adapted to current gaming standards. Let's just hope they won't mess it up. Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? Did you ever wonder... ...why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nico Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I hope that in terms of cars they won't just strictly stick to what was in the original game. This is the perfect chance to add other beautiful cars from the period. I can think of a few examples I would like to see in the game: Electric_Spectral, Zello, Ivan1997GTA and 3 others 6 Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs?

Bigglo145 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 2020 has probably been the worst year I ever experienced but this is trilogy remaster is really something I’m really looking forward to. It really makes me happy. So when can we play the mafia 2 remaster, I see people talking about a May 19th date? I can download it on the playstation store then?

To be honest to anyone who didn't get to experience Mafia 1 before I have one advice: get it. Steam, Gog (get the licensed music back via patches if you get it through any of these) or by questionable methods. Experience it because I have a feeling that the remastered version will have a completely different (maybe a lesser) impact. That story that the original portrays and the narrative it does is to die for. Well it might be too early to have this negative vision but I def. recommend checking the game out or at least the cutscenes on youtube. Though to be honest I am looking forward for the updated graphics. Can you imagine how good some cutscenes would look? The intro where we get a tour of the city, the ending, the talk with the priest.

The one very sad fact, for Playstation you only have one way - to buy full set of PS2 and a disk, unfortunately. Although I'm sure that remake will be different, but Mafia I simply a game, one of few, that deserves it, to be fresh new. Personally would recommend to all new players to watch original after remake. If original is better it will be better anyway and no one takes this existing game away.

Earthbound Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Oh yeah, now this is some awesome news. The first Mafia is where it's at for me, and with the graphics looking as good as they do here I can't wait to replay the compaign. The original release was always ahead of it's time for a sandbox game, but it's certainly showing it's age now. This should bring a bit of life back into this trilogy. It's interesting that we don't hear Tommy in the trailer. Not sure who the voice actor is in that clip, maybe Paulie? GhettoJesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 This is awesome. Always considered Mafia II to be an unappreciated gem.

Slaya101 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Ya'll think William Demeo (Paulie) is in the remake voicing Paulie again? In the teaser it sounds like him...

The teaser specifically had quotes from each of the protagonist; Vito and Lincoln. But why Paulie instead of Tommy? I could see the remake having Paulie, Tommy, and possibly even Sam? Or just two so it doesn't get out of hand like GTA 5's protagonist system was. To say that Tommy's VA is missing probably isn't true, it's likely it's the same VA from the original game, I'd cross my fingers and wait till the 19th for it to unfold.

Zello Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 6 hours ago, GhettoJesus said: I looked it up on iMDB. Only Salieri's voice is dead and that's it. Every other major character's VA is alive. Fun fact: Salieri's actor played the voice of Sonny's right hand man and Old Kelly in VC. My guess is It's probably hard to get in touch with them again. Since it was so long ago they've got new phone numbers and Agents some of them probably have quit acting too and that makes it harder.
