very very VERY hype for this. Will most definitely pick up Mafia 1 once it's available. Not sure why a new game like 3 would warrant a remaster though. Did anyone play it ?

I played Mafia 3 and I didn't find any Bugs or optimization issues with it. It was smooth.

It was great atleast the version with all DLC's that I played but the storyline sucked. The only Mafia game that I didn't complete.

All 3 parts will be remastered in this? Storyline same?

Mafia 3 didn't run very well on many systems during launch-many people complained of getting low FPS figures despite having fairly capable hardware.

Some of the issues might have been rectified later through patches, but i am not really sure how well it runs in its current state.

I dont know to what extent will the assets in this game be subjected to the remastering treatment - it seems fairly unnecessary, considering that the game is a relatively new one and did have pretty decent visuals. Maybe they will fix the performance issues that it was plagued with and call it a remastered release.

^ I played Mafia 3 one month back and it was smooth experience. I didn't played it during its launch due to issues reported by gamers.

It's not an entire new game. Upgraded gfx and stuff mostly. Mafia 3 isn't even that old.

Yeah. All the mafia games, including Mafia 1. Personally, I'm looking forward to mafia 1 remake. It's one of my favorite games ever made.

Mafia isn't the right series if open world is your priority. Mafia 1 had one of the best stories in any game I've ever played.

Except that race mission.. No way anyone can finish that legit without the "shortcut"

Voice of new Tommy Angelo just doesn't rub the right way. He's too "bad ass" if it makes any sense. But gameplay looks prime. And ofcourse the race is still there

IIRC that race was pretty hard.
Couldn't even finish it without crashing. Had to use the shortcut exploit to finish.

Also, they call me Schumacher in certain circles so you know these races were hard.

You can finish easily if you crash all other cars from the beginning without crashing yourself, then win the race by driving casually

Nothing about that was easy in the game to he honest. The car barely could turn. Even in the city it was hard to drive.

Graphics were quite good considering I remember playing in Windows 98 days. Driving around the airport especially was very pleasing. But yeah it could do with good polish etc.

What was the price of the remake for Mafia 1 on Steam? I think it was increased as it currently sits at Rs.2.2k which feels rather steep.

Devs have put a lot of effort in this So i guess that have raised the price.

Indians don't earn a lot considering salaries in developed countries, so 2.2k is definitely a lot more expensive here than $40 in US. You can earn $40 in the US by working in a minimum pay job for 4 hours, here it is at least 2 days worth of work for even an IT employee earning 25k pm. HZD is well priced because it uses steam's regional pricing guidelines.

I'm waiting for sale. Currently cheapest you can get it is from EGS with $10 off coupon, comes to about $19, so about 500-600 savings over steam, but then again EGS launcher is inferior.

Looked at some footage from the race. Still incredibly hard lol. Will be fun to try.

Steam will be well worth it and the only platform I'm looking to pick this game up.

Yes

Considering EGS pricing, its already at 25% discount compared to steam, in a way.

I am trying hard to avoid gaming. But have made the mistake of reading the reviews. Now I got the music in my head..
That aside, it really pleases me that a new generation will love something that I loved. The whole feel of the world.. Must resist!

Just finished the game and it is better than what I thought it would be.
100% of the mafia feel, they have improved several gameplay aspects and it looks staggering. It feels so nice to just drive slowly around the city. Feels so real. Some dev said "its made by the original devs and its a labour of 'love'" . and this shows.
One tip: When driving around set set Police response to 'Regular' , this prevents the annoying police attention just for speeding.

Finally got the definitive edition thanks to @Desmond David and have started doing a playthough. The game is a proper remake and has even changed gameplay elements.

Here is the first mission:

Yes, OBS studio. But I think 1080p60FPS is a bit much for my machine(for this game). Might switch back to 720p60FPS for smoother recording.
