    It's not great and I suspect time hasn't been kind. I'd wait for reviews.

    I played the PC version a couple of years ago and I think it's class. What is it you didn't like?

    I remember waiting a year to get Mafia 2 because of the mediocre reviews. It hit sale, said I'd give it a go and absolutely loved it, raging i waited a year, last time i let review sites put me off a game.

    I played it to completion! Couldn't get into the DLC! Overall a solid 7.5 for me. There wasn't really enough there to warrant a remaster if I'm being brutally honest. Remaster is probably for first time players!

    That's all about Mafia II above, never played I to have an opinion on it. Played maybe 4-5 hours of III but it wasn't for me :)

    I played one of these but cant remember which, likely one.

    My only memory was that the Police chase you for motoring offences, which was a nice touch, as in GTA they ignore every infraction.

    I also liked how a single crash would kill you so you had to be more careful at speed.

    I cant remember a single thing apart from those so I'll definitely get this.

    Be as good as a new game.

    Pretty sure that was the first game.

    I'm sure there's a camp i can go to to help me pray away the generic, padded, uninnovative sandbox games I've been thoroughly enjoying. Stupid sexy AAA games!

    The first game I ever played that had this was Driver. Not enough open world games of this ilk do it, I reckon. One of the reasons I love Driver (yes, even Driver 3) was because it let you realistically break the law, and not have to go on an absolute rampage to get cops' attention.

    I think The Getaway did something like this as well though my memory is rocky.

    PlayStation Store Aus have the games up now. The Trilogy bundle for 100 Aus dollars (about 60 euro). They have Mafia 2 and 3 definitive editions for 50 each (30 euro). All 3 have a release date of the 19th (tomorrow), no sign of Mafia 1 which is backed up by an Australian release date seen earlier but why release the Trilogy when the 1 at game isn't ready. Very strange but I'd happily drop 30 quid for Mafia 2 tomorrow.

    A lot bigger than Mafia 2 on ps3 that started at 7gb. Hopefully this means it was beefed up a bit instead of just enhancing the lighting. I can't remember what size the dlc was not wouldn't have been that big.

    Someone on Reddit bought Mafia 3 definitive edition and it's just downloading the dlc's as he already has mafia 3 base game installed. Looks like nothing was done to improvement, just free dlc.

    Well...it is a current-gen game. I can't imagine what they would've done to improve it. Anything that game needed done was done, Mafia 3 is what it is unfortunately lol

    Playing it yesterday, some bits looked like i was playing Driver 2 or 3, absolute horse **** for this gen, missing road, awful pop in, plenty they could have done. Anyway, I'm glad they didn't spend any time on it, you can't polish a turd.

    I think I'd rather pay 60 for Mafia 1 and 2, in other words I think I'll probably buy Mafia 2 this week, and then pre-order Mafia 1 some other time, and completely avoid Mafia 3. It wouldn't be nice playing 2 then 1 (or 1 then 2) then 3. Dirty taste in the mouth would be left.

    I guess it depends on how you'd class a game, it doesn't have online or when you have the story finished you really just want to stop playing because there is nothing really to do after...but in terms of storytelling it's up there with the best. Now, I only like playing movie style based games so maybe I'm a bit biased here.


    There is a bit of nostalgia on my side also with Both Mafia 1+2 so personally can't wait!

    Mafia 2 is looking very glitchy. Watching a stream and Vito keeps shaking, looks really weird. Day one patch just dropped but the guy says it still has some buggy problems. I'm gonna wait for another few streams tomorrow before deciding.

    Typical, that would be unplayable. I did read somewhere that 2K Czech were the ones working on this (1+2) so thought that it would be great regardless. Does seem there was an update to fix it. Still don't know the price for these but If you already own mafia 2 it's kind of hard to justify paying 25-30 again for it when it only looks a bit better...
