Mafia Definitive Edition vs Original | Direct Comparison

Hey everyone - thank you for tuning in! This comparison was initially going to release yesterday, but there was a lot I wanted to make sure I included since it's a pretty fascinating remake.

You can’t fairly assess the driving in Mafia DE without trying the manual transmission. It drastically improves the experience so much it feels like the game was made to be played that way

[@kevintyrrell7409]

Can you elaborate? How does the manual transmission in the game work?

[@CHT_8732]

@@kevintyrrell7409 well for starters it acts very similar to a real manual transmission in terms of you coast at low speed in neutral between gear changes, good for realism. But the key improvement (in arcade driving mode, simulation is like driving on ice) is when you grasp what gear you should be in at what speeds, you can really have some fun drifting around corners and shifting down or up for certain maneuvers or hill climbs. There’s a million open world games and they all basically have the same driving mechanics that allow for a little bit of sliding, but the manual adds a different dimension that engages you in the game more and I would say makes it more fun. Try it yourself in a fast car and see if it’s not more fun to drive in the game after an hour or so

Mafia is one of my favorite games of all time, and I gotta say this remake was phenomenal. Aside from the one or two God awful stealth sequences that were crammed into it, which were just inexcusably bad and didn't belong, and scrapping the Lucas Bertone side missions in the story, this remake was a real treat that I never expected to see. A real dream come true. I noticed they never mention the guns or the cars by name in the story like they do in the original. Semi-automatics were kind of new technology back then, and full-auto was state of the art for the time, so you were lucky to have them. Vincenzo would explain that to you a little bit when he handed over hardware in the original. Scopes for rifles were also a relatively new idea, so it wasn't like "we got a sniper rifle hidden here for ya Tommy." He'd be like, "what the hell's a "sniper rifle?"" Aerodynamic cars were also a new idea, so Ralph and Lucas would also both explain that to Tommy. As years went by in the original game, cars became more modern. For some reason they excluded these little details in the remake.

[@prabs01]

Am I the only one who didn't find the driving in the original as bad as described in this video. In fact I liked it. Also there was a limitation on weapons you could carry in the original. If you had a shotgun in coat then you could only have a Thompson in hand. You could switch between the 2 but switching to a smaller weapon would result in Tommy dropping the weapon. A direct switch was necessary. In my opinion it would introduce an element of strategy. Example the dock level. You had a shotgun and a Thomson but to kill the guards on crane towers you needed the Springfield. So get that drop the shotgun. Kill the guards and comeback for the shotgun because you needed that along with the Thomson to kill Morello and the Springfield would be useless. P.S.: I am happy that this gem got a remake. Hope someone somewhere is remaking Freedom Fighters as well.

[@CoreMaster111]

I prefer driving in the original. In fact only part where the driving was actually bad was the race. But that was mostly because the race cars had low grip and the road was too low polygonal.

[@Corty_]

I was 14 or 15 when I played the original on pc for months. Bad driving? Never thought so, it was fun and even completed the race albeit, after a few dozen or so tries. Hell, I remember I got a wheel for my pc with separate gear switching option and I played the hell out of it with a wheel and manual shifting, if my memory recalls I also had a mod where you could drive in 1st person mode with real car face mod also installed. Damn I loved that game only other game that had me just driving around the world was San Andreas and this. The driving wasn't bad, or just my taste is different as I always liked the gta4 driving too which most of people seems to hate. The remake is a goty for me, it brought back everything I wanted and feel myself back in my teens again.

Although all of the things seem better, I have to say that when I first started looking into the game on KZbin, the thing that really annoyed me, was that Tommy was too much of a tough guy from the get-go, even when he was a cabbie. If you look back to the original, Tommy was always a bit bumbling, but the remake aims to make it into a really poetic, heroic story. See the endings in both versions for example.

And then there's Mafia 2, who was good in both.

Although I’ve never played the original I enjoyed the remake a lot. It has a king story. The main characters are legendary. Salieri was surely a legend, and if he didn’t fall, I bet he’d appear in another game. Morello was also a good antagonist in my opinion. His feud with Ennio is a foreshadowing of the game’s ending. DE really expanded on the lore, and the references to M3 and M2’s past histories such as the Vinci Moretti war or the Marcanos and Carlo’s takeovers are excellent touches.

I personally didn't like how they made Lost Heaven more New York style than Chicago. Yes, there are Chicago style elements, but overall, it looks more generic. That may be partially due to the added vertical elements rather than the flatter style of the original. I also am not a fan of the fact that they removed the ability to jump on the elevated trains and street cars. The game plays well and makes some good choices, but it doesn't have the same sense of time tying it to prohibition as compared to the original.

[@8Paul7]

Here is a cool informative post about the driving in original Mafia by its director, Dan Vávra: In preparation for tomorrow’s stream, today I remembered the 18-year-old password to .rar file, where I have documents from the Mafia and was looking at reference car models for the original M1, when I noticed that Morello was not in the remake in his first cutscene in Silver Arrow which upset me. Is this car there? Because I spent perhaps more than a month choosing cars for the M1 at the time, and those vehicles are real pearls (all based on real cars). Of course, there are a few common classics like Ford T and A, but those bonus fast cars, I cared about them :) I tried to capture the development of the automotive industry and design and the widest possible range of vehicles, which were each unique. The Cord 810 was the first US car with front-wheel drive and tilting headlights. Pierce Silver Arrow was a magnificent futuristic prototype of which only three units survived. Auburn Speedster was driven by Al Capone’s assistant and it’s a mindblowing stinger. You drive Salieri for lunch with a monstrous Cadillac V16. Chrysler Airflow was the first mass-produced aerodynamic car in the world and was created in parallel with the Tatra 77. Today, the Mercedes 500K is one of the most expensive veterans. And it would be a crime not to mention the absolutely incredible Cadillac V16 Hartmann Cabrio. That was a complete sci-fi. And of course Duesenberg and its chrome-plated intakes from the engine … The cars, whose physics were then programmed by Václav Král, were set up for the most part by me, and it was an absolutely an ant job (idiom meaning something like “supermicromanaged chore”). First, in the early days of the Internet, it was very difficult to get their parameters - so I’m glad that the page I guess I was pulling from then (supercars.net) still exists, and our setup was much more complicated than many people think. Each car had dozens of parameters. I did not get to the resulting behavior, speed and acceleration by entering the power, acceleration and maximum speed, but by really setting the engine and transmission, weights, consumption, wheel sizes, gear ratios, even the aerodynamic coefficient (!!!) and then in a special level I tested them with a stopwatch in my hand, what the car’s acceleration is, how fast it brakes, how it turns, etc. We have also developed a simulation of various surfaces, which you can verify in the M1, and so far I have never seen it to the same extent and just as well done in almost any game, including racing games. Each material has a set “bumpiness”, ie how many holes and pits are on it, how deep and high they are, how often and how regular. The wheels then jump on it, even if the actual polygons are straight in reality. And that jumping really has an effect on physics, it’s not just an aesthetic effect like today. Of course, each terrain has a completely different rolling resistance, so when you enter the track, it really starts to throw, when it hits the tiles, it rumbles and gets worse, and when you go to the ditch, there will of course be a massive slowdown. Each car of course has a different gas consumption rate and I suspect that if you get a bullet hole in your gas tank, gas will leak over time and the car will stop :) The comparison of physics in M1 and in the remake (at least as it is currently set) does not turn out very well for the remake. Cars (especially those on the circuit) behave like sledges there, and in the city even on classic difficulty, on the contrary, they keep nailed to the road. Try to loop (tear off the car) in M1 at a higher speed on the straight line and you will immediately go into a slide (which is correct), while in remake you drive like on rails and you don’t get anything even for the most difficult settings. In races, on the contrary, it’s like on the rink. For me personally (and I played M1 after maybe 10 years and I didn’t expect much), the chases in the original are MUCH more fun and better.

Well what perfect timing... I was just thinking "mhm... Wonder if Nick have made a direct comparison video yet about the Remastered Mafia games...". I just bought the bundle, so excited to play them lol. Amazing how remakes/remasters of older games makes me just as excited as with new games...

I like hearing the old tommy sound, so nostalgic, something about the old mafia game hits different..
