I adored the original but I'm not confident that they won't ruin it after the other 2 releases. The atmosphere in the original is sublime.

- Thread starter Mr Swine
- Start date
Im scared for the PC version so I will wait for reviews but im still excited. it looks soooo goood.
I could of sworn they said they were going to release physical box set of all 3 games but I've haven't heard anything.
It's a day 1 purchase for me.
They are doing that here in Switzerland, not sure about every region.

Less than three days out, goodness I'm so hyped! I hope the PC performance on this engine is greatly improved as I'll be spending all my time there. Can't sleep! I hope Hangar 13 knock it out of the park, everything I've seen looks so promising! Can't wait to hang out Salieri's bar again, and just drive for years around Lost Heaven. Gaaaaaah!
I wasn't sold on it until I saw a leaked gameplay(ironic). Now I am definitely getting it. It looks very polished.
Loved Mafia 3 and barely played the original Mafia when it was released so i can't wait. I really hope this has the combat system of Mafia 3.
Today they talked about the Free Ride mod that is going to be in the game and how it's basically a mix between the Free Ride mod and Free Ride Extreme mod from the original game
"The basic idea is that Free Ride allows players to explore Lost Heaven freely without any mission objectives. It's an opportunity to check out the beautiful vistas around the city, test drive the vehicles in your garage, find collectibles out in the world, and maybe uncover a few secrets.
When you enter Free Ride, you'll start at Salieri's Bar, with access to your garage, wardrobe, and armory, plus the ability to change the time of day and weather.
We added a big rural area to the north of the city, and the main story only takes you out to a couple of spots. There are a lot of great views and little places to discover up there. Also, all those long country roads and dirt tracks are perfect for putting vehicles through their paces."
On the other hand, the game is going to use Denuvo which fucking sucks
Playing the original game right now for the first time - well second, but that was probably 15 years ago and I didn't finished it - and it's really great.. having a lot of fun with it :)

I may get it eventually but right now I'm busy with 13 Sentinels and next week Watch Dogs Legion is out.
Don't know if I want to get it digital or physical, but hell yes I am. Vividly remember loving the original as a teenager.... even though I never actually beat it.
I think its 0800PST and 1100EST tomorrow.
1600BST for my fellow Brits
How's it running for you, I know at release there were some concerns raised but not sure if these have been patched out?
I'm hoping to see reviews for the Remaster of 1 before buying but I'd like to buy the Trilogy if I do as I enjoyed 2 a lot and I really should give 3 the time to actually complete it
I'm playing on the One X, and the game does freeze / crash to the home screen every so often, but it hasn't put me off as checkpoint saves are frequent enough. I also had a weird graphical glitch when driving in fog one time, where the lighting started going crazy, but other than that it's been fine. It would've been nice to see some more effort put into the remaster, but I love Mafia II so not going to let it put me off.

That just sounds like regular free ride. Extreme had objectives, often really wacky ones. This gives me the impression they're not present at all. Which would suck.
Thank you for the response.
Glad to hear that although present its not overly detrimental
This and Tony Hawk will be the perfect Black Friday deals. (And Doom Eternal for next-gen patch).
Well, in the same press release is this mentioned:
"Of course, longtime Mafia fans may remember the more absurd aspects of the original Free Ride that exist way outside the story's canon. "I think like most players, I loved Free Ride Extreme in particular," recalls Vévoda. "After all the serious Mafia business of the main story, surreal challenges like shooting a sea monster or tailing an invisible man were a lot of fun and a great way to spend extra hours in the world once the story was complete."
Will those sillier elements return in Mafia: Definitive Edition's Free Ride? "All I can say is: The truth is out there," Vévoda remarks. You'll have to see what secrets you can uncover for yourself in Free Ride when Mafia: Definitive Edition launches later this week."
I got the message they are sending it today. Let's see if it comes out on time or on monday like usual...
Pre-load's installing on my Xbox right now, seriously hyped to play this after being unable to complete the original back at launch.
Waiting for my physical copy. Can't wait! Just beat Mafia 3 and had fun with it, even with the repetitious mission structure.
Sucks it has Denuvo on PC. If reviews are good and PC performance I will think getting it on Steam.
I'll probably wait for a sale, it'll definitely be in the Steam Winter sale, possibly even the entire trilogy.
I will be playing it though.

I got it pre-ordered. It's the only one of the series I haven't played. So I'm looking forward to it.
It's really the only game i want to play right now but i am stuck on a 960 video card right now. I might play it anyhow if the reviews say it is optimized. Mafia 3 ran fine on my 770 gtx.
