Mafia Definitive Edition vs Mafia II | Direct Comparison

[@solidbox5428]

I absolutely loved Mafia 1 remake, I just wished it was longer.

[@huhhuh364]

@H N gta has the same level of ai (as in pretty horrible), of course gta has better physics because the game is literally built off of how objects interact with each other (that comparison is like saying botw has better physics than wind water). lastly gta 5 had a budget of $260 million and was sold for $60 (and still is), while mafia likely had a sub 50 million dollar budget and is sold for $40 msrp

[@Vman_95]

It's just needs some unending side quests, like raiding rival hideouts and some other stuff

[@soheelegb6851]

@H N comparing games with rockstar is not fair. Gta iv has better ai and physics than most recent games including gta v. And gta v has better ai and physics than many of the recent games. So mafia is not at fault here

And some people would say but Tommy held the pistol with 1 hand in original mafia but thats bcs at that time they couldnt animate him holding it with 2 hands, imagine how it would look. Look how they hold guns in original mafia

[@mr.ethanol3806]

Mafia de only has story that's it. It's just empty shell of a game if you think about it. It kinda reminds me driver parallel lines when you do all the missions. Animations for two-handed weapons are also missing when you run or sprint. Physics are like watch dogs.

[@GoodGamingMemories]

Mafia Remake is one of the few remakes that have done right technically and chronologically: improvements in every way compared to the quite old original title (the same as with Black Mesa (Half-Life), Crash Bandicoot (PS4), Oddworld (PS4), etc.)

[@Tee_B]

Halo 2

[@renmorpheus]

I am not partial to either- I think Mafia II is the best Mafia instalment when it comes to gameplay and handling, while Mafia DE has the best pacing, writing and character progression, let alone the plot. So I'd really love a Mafia IV, especially if they combine the strenghts of all the Mafias :) (OG Mafia's atmosphere and some of the physics, II gameplay, seasonal change and controls, III side content/open-endedness and DE's writing, design and presentation.)

[@Don_Ramiro]

They better stick with the first 2 games, with more focus in the original.

[@EntrEsprit]

[@TigerChamp99]

Mafia 3 Vs Mafia 1 remake would be more interesting IMO

[@gilgameshomar]

mafia 3 def as well u mean with some reshade mods will beat mafia 1 remake

[@BrokenGodEnt]

Mafia 3 is definitely less intensive than Mafia Definitive Edition. Im running both games on the lowest settings, because I'm running the minimum ram for both games (I'm currently too broke to upgrade my PC lol) and Mafia 3 ran at a smooth 45 FPS with minimal stuttering throughout. Mafia Definitive ran at 30 FPS with frequent dips into the 20s and heavy moments of freezing. Cutscenes would freeze, it would freeze while going into/exiting menus, it would freeze if you tried to vault over something while in cover, it would freeze while going into the garage, while getting on a motorcycle, while being chased by police, etc. And it would freeze for 1 to 2 minutes. Maybe even sometimes 3 or 4. I beat the game, but all in all the game froze probably 20+ times. So I'm guessing that means Mafia DE has the more advanced systems graphically, despite both supposedly having the exact same minimum requirements as far as specs go. Or maybe Mafia 3 is just more refined, because apparently a lot of people experienced the same freezing I did with much higher end PCs.

[@Nick930]

Considered it - but I'm already going to be covering that game in plenty of detail with this documentary project. Perhaps afterwards :)

Giving 2K Czech the same treatment for their Mafia 2 development would be a massive compromise because not only Mafia 2 was (originally) conceived with really ambitious ideas and vision that would demands just equally if not more financial backing, but it would also lead for "self-competing" between two apex games of the niche and that they couldn't properly maximize their profit.

I think GTA should take note of the speeding ticket mechanic. It doesn't affect the player much (you don't feel like it happens all the time and doesn't become frustrating) and it adds a level of immersion unseen in the GTA games.

Yea but part of what makes gta fun is the crazy cops that shoot on sight, rockstar doesn’t go for immersion they go for cartoon violence

[@Simbabweman]

@@JoeMama-rw1gb I agree they go for a cartoonish violence at some levels but I also think they strive for believable and immersive worlds. One of the things that has often been said is that Rockstar games are often most impressive because you can get lost in the detailed worlds they create and you feel like another inhabitant of their creation. I definitely think they go for immersion when creating their worlds and would like to see where they go next with small details like this that can make a big difference. The Mafia speed limit mechanic is just a suggestion as I think it works really well in making players feel like they have to follow the rules of the game world even though they can easily break them. It doesn't hold players back but it adds a level of immersion as it makes some players want to drive normally at times and not speed around.

Hi Nick, just wanted to say thank you to properly introducing+encouraging me to start this series. I bought the Mafia collection around launch but have only just started M1:DE now and it's a blast! Atmosphere, orchestra and sense of authenticity sets a new bar. Came across the channel thanks to the amazing Splinter Cell uploads and it's one of my favs! Love watching all your uploads! The situation with Mafia 2 Remaster sucks, I unfortunately experienced a similar level of quality with the Shenmue 1&2 re-releases (ported by the same developer as M2:Re). At this point would you recommend playing the 360 backwards compatible version > the remaster? Thx Will definitely be checking out more of the types of games you like+recommend! Thx again!

[@GuyWhoLikesTheSnarkies1435]

7:01 One interesting part about the GI for me, I might be wrong but it seems that the implementation is real time, and this is evident if you enter on any rooms with open windows the game will dynamically streams the indirect lighting and light bounces from the direct lighting (which possibly suggest that the "static" direct lighting is rendered in real time as well). I think it's pretty mindblowing if that's the case.

[@bobhill3941]

I come at this from a unique perspective. I loved the Mafia 1 remake, it was an amazing remaster and it was one of the games I got to enjoy during lockdown! I enjoyed playing the original Mafia back when it was new, but I got stuck in the "drive in the country" level so I put it aside and continued with my life. Thanks to the availability of youtube, I bought Mafia Definitive Edition and found where I was stuck and was able to continue and beat the game almost 20 years later!

I excused Mafia 1's issues by saying he was only 23 when he wrote the script, but now I'm having my doubts about him. It's just generic gangster stuff. Vito as a character sucks compared to Joe. His mom and sister aren't all that compelling, neither are the other gangsters, compared to Paulie and Salieri from the remake.

​@@henrywinters9496 I mean to be fair, dialogue in OG Mafia was quite bad too, but Vavra nailed the overall plot and the choice of time period helped make it interesting despite the genre trappings. And yeah, there was a human quality to the characters which pretty much only Joe and Henry did in 2 (Kind of sad, really, because the voice work was generally very strong). Pacing also was quite over the place, the plot too loosely connected. DE was definitely a step-up in all these aspects compared to both, so I can only hope Hangar's writers now can do that too with a new game (As Mafia III's plot was rather thin and devoid of interesting plot points) ^^

Although the Mafia remake is an amazing experience I wish they would drop that engine they use. It has some fundamental problems that can destroy the game in a matter of seconds (1) You can kill shadows in dark areas or at high speed. Mostly found in Mafia 3 but seen throughout Mafia 1 is the abundance of dead shadows in which the engine can't calculate the surroundings so ( speeding up to the dam in mafia 1) will result in the ground being jet-black and your charcter turning into a Simpsons charcter with a yellow hue to their skin (2) Vampire mirrors Ever since they started using the new engine with Mafia 3 the reflections in mirrors have disappeared or glitched out entirely this is made even more jarring when you take into account the beautiful screen spaced reflections used elsewhere in the world and the fact these reflections worked in their previous engine (3) WTF its broken The entire engine can break completely at points and even if you delete the game and reinstall it there's still a plethora of problems that perpetuate the experience.

The KZbin channel "Rooster Teeth" posted a video displaying proof that the game really did break the record. Mafia II (Video Game 2010) - Trivia - IMDb www.imdb.com/title/tt1181833/trivia"

Mafia 2 had better police system: You have to change clothing ( buy new at store) change car plates in vehicle upgrade shop. Because police remember both. Also you can resist arrest or ticket These dont exists in Mafia definitive. You can simply hide in corner street & police stop chasing You with 4☆ in 5 minutes

Something funny I noticed in the Mafia 1 remake was that during the bank heist mission the moneybags you take has a picture of Louisiana on it. It seems Hanger 13 used the Mafia 3 model for Mafia 1

Can't wait for that documentary!

Thanks for your amazing work !

Final Fantasy 15 vs Final Fantasy 7 Remake sounds like a good ideea to do when the game will appear on pc in a few months, what do you think nick? Ah and btw I like your videos

[@TXFDA]

The biggest key difference between Mafia DE, and Mafia 2 DE, is that Mafia 1 DE was a completely new game built from the ground up....just...BASED on the original Mafia. Where was Mafia 2 DE is just an upgraded port of the original Mafia 2. So naturally, the one being remade from the ground up is gonna look nice graphically. Mafia 2 DE just re-used everything from the original, so everything still feels a bit dated. Mafia DE had the advantage of being remade completely, as a proper modern day 2022 game.

[@thewolf6943]

The things I don't like in Mafia remake are the the circle crossair and less powerful sound on the shotgun and Tommy gun anything else are damn good

[@cbangbang7759]

I just picked up Mafia DE and wow. I’d pick this over gta any day

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

That's how Mafia: Definitive Edition works!

[@LuisOrtiz-kd2hs]

Man I wish they completely remade mafia 2 is 2021 man how hard would it have been 🤦

[@talpatv512]

It is hard lol

[@IncursionYT]

Do you plan on doing the XIII (13) Remake comparison Nick?

[@rampageclover9788]

While III didn’t have much to improve on, not elevating II to the same level as I was mind-numbingly lazy…2K and Hangar 13 adopted the same complacent attitude that Rockstar took to the original three GTAs. Basically polishing a turd with that remaster rather than aligning it with its respective prequel and sequel. If they’d done that, these would be massive…and really give us something to be preoccupied with while we await IV

[@LilSAM-hl3ox]

mafia 2 is the best game ever >>> fact

[@warriorgt7gr222]

I disagree with the explosions. In mafia 2 the fireball looks bad and 2d in comparison to mafia de's. Pause at 8:27

[@UnskippableAD0]

Wait, is your other channel, Benchmarkking?

[@armandorivera7151]

You should do a Marvel's Spider-Man remastered vs Miles Morales I would like to see that I can't find a video like your about the too games so hopefully you can do it if not love the videos they're great and fun to watch

[@TheREALHugo4]

Well, only mafia 1 definitive edition was the right choice for me. Too bad i never played the original mafia 2 (ps3).

[@hanswurst6742]

With so many remakes. I sometimes wonder if the industry is just out of ideas. There is nothing wrong with remaking old games, but why not a new mafia game with a new story

[@Nick930]

Well a lot of these remakes are made by studios that specialize in remasteres/remakes. There's still PLENTY of original games coming out all the time. In this particular case - Hanger 13 didn't exactly deliver a superb original experience their first time around - so I think remaking the original was a good thing for them - so they could better understand what made this series special to fans. Hopefully now - with Mafia 4, they have a better point of reference

[@EntrEsprit]

yes,this is even more about the movies,trillion versions of batman,spoody man,remakes of old movies

[@lukash.p.6631]

Yeah, i agree, my big disappointment in Mafia Remake was its "Open World" immersion....

[@jsa5251]

Sound design is very good in both games

[@khangamero6112]

Thanks alot for the video I'm going to buy mafia 1 I buy mafia 3 and was unknown with the features of mafia 1 and 2 then I regret buying mafia 3 I'm gonna buy mafia 1 now thanks

[@moonlightcayenne8722]

I think New York is one of the best settings for the Mafia franchise. Loved empire bay the first time I played Mafia 2

[@humanbeing4492]

Chicago is better for the older mafias like 1910-1930

[@DeathxRaidenGaming]

3:54 he named the cities on which all the three Watchdogs are based in

[@Nick930]

Theres no watchdogs that takes place in New York City...

[@KaoticReach1999]

Mafia 2 Definitive Edition is fantastic, the Mafia 1 DE is just amazing Mafia 3...we don't talk about Mafia 3 Though ide argue thats because of lazy devs, if we got the love and care of Mafia 1-2 in a Mafia 4, now THAT would be perfect

[@chimera.xfusion2684]

I want a mafia prequel with events from rise of salieri family and such stuff.
