Mafia 2 Definitive Edition Gameplay Leaked

Maifa 2 is really old game.
Apparently they did some lightning and slight character model improvements.
Seems like an easy skip, then. Game really deserves better.
I vaguely remember this. Wasn't it initially even free day 1 DLC?
I'm suspicious that the "Trilogy" thing is really just 2K monopolising on the brand. Mafia 1 might have always been the only project that was actually extensive and planned out (touch wood). Whereas Mafia II was shipped off to a port study for a quick and dirty update to modern hardware, bugs and issues and quality control be damned. Mafia III is already current gen, so just bundle that with DLC and call it a day.
Not only on explosions

I want to believe this as whole was somewhat planned project to bring franchise back for next-gen Mafia 4.
One can dream.
I saw some footage and nothing you said is true? Maybe I'm missing something but it was fine?
Not quite.
Physx has become integral to the physics engine of multiple engines like Unreal 4, and it's also open source for a while now.
What likely happened here is that the physx effects were ported to consoles, but reduced in fidelity as it's executed on the cpu like majority of physx stuff nowadays.
You can even see the physx logo in the video of the OP at the start.
Hahaha, wtf, I can't stop laughing at this, absolute trash port. Big PSA necessary, if it doesn't get patched.
The scene in Mafia II that ties it to the original doesn't really "ruin" Mafia I, because you'll be lacking the proper context for it, but it is far more effective if you played the original game first. I wouldn't wait until the Mafia Remake/Remaster is out to play Mafia II, though.
I would play Mafia II before playing Mafia III. It's not a direct sequel, but the character who appears in both games is pretty major. You want to see his full arc in the proper progression.
where did you watch?
here is more than 5hours of gameplay, running on PS4 Pro, or check some clips of that stream.
Yes there was 1.01 update but it barely fixed anything, if only it added 2K logo in the corner when you did not log in.
granted framerate is not that bad, but sometimes it's really yikes even in cutscenes

Yeah the Physx stuff is quite nice. The PC version has been good, though not played it in years so not sure how it handles new hardware and higher resolutions. Also can't remember if there is any framerate cap.
Either way I hope they don't screw up the PC version

Thanks, I'll check this 5 hours footage. Disappointed ☹️
How do you asume it doesn't have Physx and APEX? The game even has the PhysX logo on PS4 version and starts with it.
Physx is no longer bound to PC since the start of this gen and multiple games used it on every platform like Witcher 3 and UE4 has it integrated by default so every UE4 game.
Nope, Not anymore. It's even open source now.

Yes me too. Also I wonder if they will pack all versions with the PS3 only DLC that was only sold In Russia on steam.

I mean, the gameplays right there for all of us to watch and it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as you're saying ?

trophies.
Most likely the same as the PS3 ones

this gameplay is only 12minutes and the beginning, watch some of the stream that i linked above, it's quite something
maybe it's not that bad as my post says for someone but i hoped for normal experience, they should fix it soon

Holy shit please tell me that 2K thing goes away if you log in. Why the fuck would you even leave it hanging there
Yes I noticed this big problem with the audio and it seems like MIDI quality even and I was like what?
Guessing this'll be a Deus Ex: HR and Sleeping Dogs situation where a new port that is inferior in many ways replaces the old release for sale on Steam? If so, damn, Mafia II original isn't cheap right now.
Doesn't look that great.
My perspective as a games collector (assuming they bring this out on disk), is that if 1 is going to be this all singing all dancing game, 2 is going to stand out as the poor looking one.This will really get on my nerves as a games collector...lol.
PS I also hate Login to our service messages, and I really don't like it. I couldn't even play Doom the other day because it was suggested I create or login to an account (couldn't skip it), absolute pants.

I can't recall any game that has the same PC Physx content ported over though. Are there any examples?
Yeah, that's AUD, should be $60 for the trilogy or $30 each on the US Store
Wait why is there no cloth physics at all? Even the Xbox 360 version had cloth physics!
I don't have a list but I Batman Arhkam series even on 360/PS3 were using Physx. But GPU accelerated stuff were always exclusive to PC.
thats because gpu accelerated physx is extremely expensive, sadly. Pretty much all physx stuff runs on the CPU now, even on PC. That being said there definitely could have been more effort put into Mafia 2's implementation here, and i wouldnt be surprised if it was still physx(hence the logo), just extremely scaled back.
On PC, you can choose if you want it to run on the CPU or GPU.
How do they perform on modern PCs? Last time I checked it still ran like shit with maximized Physx (smoke looked great tho).
