    Is it a story mission?

    Aw yeah, no avoiding that fecker. The whole mission setup is great, just the original race is tough. I'm sure the race isn't as hard as the original....

    Looking great! Few hands on previews doing the rounds. Ign confirm the race level is still annoying and requires near flawless driving for 3 laps against ai who don't make mistakes. Hurrah!

    Looking forward to this. Never played any of the series so have the trilogy pre ordered. Sounds like number 1 is the highlight by all accounts

    It absolutely is. Whatever about the trilogy, you're in for a treat with 1, especially if you're a fan of the mafia genre.

    YouTubers are putting up official playthroughs now, far too early for that when the game is a month away.

    Saying that, a setting was spotted in the menu that you can skip non essential drives. Not that I'll be doing that but take ****ing note Rockstar.

    Even though I won't be watching the playthroughs, I could help watch the race when I saw it on this thumbnail. Definitely not as hard as the original, AI made mistakes and he was in 1st most of the race but was close.

    Do we have a cast list? The journalist's Irish accent came off a touch affected - but given the nature of the game I'd reckon a lot of accents are intentionally ramped up. I like the mannerisms in the cut scenes, many seem authentic, add a touch of humanity with the little glances and scratches of the nose.

    Love what I'm seeing of this remake. Mafia 1 was one of those games that just struck a chord and stays with you for years. Have often thought about trying to get it working on a modern pc but just knew it was probably better left to nostalgia.

    I'm actually happy that this remake uses the world more for window dressing than trying to be a GTA clone. From what I've seen they have collectibles, and some of kind system akin to the treasure map thing on RDR, in this case where you can locate a new special car to add your garage. But there aren't thousands of side quests and distractions which just act as padding and a distraction from the narrative.

    Did you get the trilogy or just Mafia 1? I got the trilogy and it's giving me the option to buy 1 which i guess it shouldn't. Hope that turns into a download link tomorrow anyway.

    So looks like the pre-download is live if you solely preordered Mafia 1 or bought the trilogy on xbox. No predownload for trilogy owners on ps4. Bollix acting.

    Yeah i played them but really wanted to play Mafia 2 again so the trilogy was well worth it for me. I can't watch that at the moment but can't find trophy info. Does it just state there is a trophy for completing classic mode? I read that's the hardest difficulty with a lot of the difficulty and gameplay set to the original :)

    Yep theres a trophy for completing in classic mode.

    It's described as:
    Enemies are lethal
    No aim assist
    Police respond to more crimes and more aggressively (breaking traffic lights for example)
    Fewer UI indicators (no enemies or med boxes on map for example)
    Ammo left in clip when reloading is lost
    Regen health maxes to 20% whilst medkits refill less
    Driving is set to simulation, is tougher to drive, no assists and cars are less durable.

    After 10 minutes of not being able to start Mafia 1 from psn store, i found a 2nd copy at the bottom of the search list which allowed me to choose a version, 40 euro or free. Downloading now. They made an absolute balls of our for people who bought the trilogy version. Oh well, no Mafia for me tonight.

    I think there are 20 missions, ACG said they got through it in a weekend alright. There is a freemode as well where you can uncover secrets around the city but I doubt there will be much replayability in it.

    Has anyone here tried it on PC, I'm wondering what performance is like.
    Eurogamer said the PC version has some performance issues and I have a lesser graphics card than the one they reviewed with.

    Yeah just finished, it's about 7-8 hours long (a bit disappointed in that) and that was with a good few checkpoint reloads/deaths. To me the story just seemed to move way too fast...I dunno...
