Has it already been mentioned that the Mafia III DLC is free on Xbox?

And all but one are free on Playstation!

I have Mafia III on PS4 but it's just so repetitive. I know Mafia II was boring in the sense it didn't have much to do outside the story but I still enjoyed it.

Are these coming out on disc? Wouldn't mind playing the first one, will probably wait for the price to drop though.

It looks like physical releases will be coming in August of the trilogy.

I got Mafia 3 free when it was a ps plus game. Now all the DLC is free apart from the faster baby pack.

"Q: If I already own Mafia II on PC, do I need to also purchase Mafia II: Definitive Edition?

A: The Mafia II: Definitive Edition will be granted to existing Mafia II PC Steam owners free of charge. The 2010 edition of Mafia II will still be in your library as “Mafia II (Classic)”. Any new purchases of Mafia II: Definitive Edition, or Mafia: Trilogy will also give you “Mafia II (Classic)” on Steam PC only. Original Mafia II (Classic) saved games are transferable to Mafia II: Definitive Edition on Steam PC only."

For consoles you have to re-buy.

I knew they were gonna do that.

I looked at my Steam profile, and it now says "Mafia II (Classic)" on my game list sure enough.

Yeah same here, no sign of the new version yet on steam, probably midnight.

Edit: it's there now.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 19-05-2020 6:48pm

Be interesting to see Digital Foundry break this one down. So far I'm not seeing much of a difference, probably because I'm playing it on a 1080p TV.

In the meantime I found this.

Dunno how reliable it is.

[EDIT] Okay after watching that I can definitely see the difference.

Conflicting reports on reddit but apparently the ps4 pro and one x versions are in fact 60fps

The ps4 and xbox one standard are locked to 30fps

I can confirm they are not 60fps. I'm playing it on Xbox One X right now and it's locked at 30fps. Thought it might change after the game fully installed, but nope. 30fps

It's happened before and never heard of them banning or revoking licence for game. Sure I remember years ago there was a price glitch for Final Fantasy XV with it being 80% 3 months after its release. Glitch was only for an hour but anybody who bought at glitches price, kept the game.

Also just booted up Mafia 3 and there was an update for the Definitive Edition so if you already own 3, it will be renamed to Definitive Edition

Zero-Cool · 19-05-2020 10:14pm

This is taking really long to download, a lot longer than recent downloads.

I can play the first level anyway, going with hard mode, i remember that was recommended back in the day for a better experience.

Instantly looks better than the original anyway.

DarC_Kn1ght · 19-05-2020 11:38pm

Played the first mission, audio is a mess.

I thought it was just me. There was a part where your man was meant to be narrating and his voice was being drowned out by everything else. It was weird

Zero-Cool · 20-05-2020 8:22am

Even the first cutscene, sounded like my tv speaker was under water, very weird.

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 20-05-2020 9:16am

I thought the game had a Day-One patch? Or am I missing something?

Yupp it did, you should be on version 1.01?

I dunno what it is on PS4 but on Xbox it say says 1.0.0.2. I wish Xbox had a way of looking at "update history" the same way you can do on PS4. Xbox doesn't have any of that.

Sephiroth_dude · 20-05-2020 9:52am

This stopped downloading over night for some reason, so I still have another 5 hours to go.

20-05-2020 10:53am

Been reading up on this further

Audio issues in cutscenes

PS4 Pro and One X versions cant even hold a steady frame rate @ 30fps

Stuttering in-game when driving

What an absolute farce really, 2K games really are ****

Zero-Cool · 20-05-2020 12:17pm

Played the first 2 chapters.....ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

It's the definition of jank but they absolutely nail the Mafia atmosphere, casual racism and sexism, good thing it's not more popular or Twitter would have a meltdown.

I'm playing simulation driving and I find myself with a big smile just trying to turn a corner in the tank of a yoke I'm driving. slow acceleration but wants it gets going, it's a death trap. I forgot about the Playboy collectibles :pac:

Bastard. I forgot to enable sim-driving. Is enabling this required to get a trophy/achievement? Or am I thinking of another game?

Nope, no trophy just makes the driving more fun.

Zero-Cool · 20-05-2020 2:07pm

Also, if you have the trilogy or mafia 3, use Lincoln's black muscle car. Might look out of place but with it for the acceleration, speed and handling. Easier escaping from cops and going to from parts of missions.

I was just about to come back and say I found Lincoln's car in the Carcyclopedia. I don't have Mafia 3 though so I dunno how it's in there.

Thing stood out like a sore thumb. Lol

Zero-Cool · 20-05-2020 4:58pm

I tried the other sports car i got for the trilogy pack bit it's still not as nippy as Lincoln's so gonna stick with it. The mission design is great. Finished chapter 5 and having a blast. I'd go for the platinum of it wasn't for the 158 wanted posters. That's a bit much.

The driving, shooting and mission design is so much more satisfying than Mafia 3.

Jordan 199 · 20-05-2020 5:20pm

Do the cars explode when they flip over?

That's not really fair. Mafia 3 is at a disadvantage as it has no mission or level design.

There's been a few explosions but can't remember if from flipping.

I actually disagree. The mechanics are a basic cover shooter with some archaic design. It's acceptable. The missions have plenty of variety however you are not driving from point a to b all the time.

The story in mafia 2 is the main attraction. I think its incredibly well done with some great voice acting

The one thing Mafia 3 got right was it's combat and stealth imo.

The missions structure and lack of fast travel is what made mafia 3 annoying

Zero-Cool · 20-05-2020 7:06pm

It is an absolutely last gen game with average mechanics but I find the shootouts great, maybe because it's on hard mode, where it actually feels like I'm in a mob gun fight. Popping up behind a car to get off a few shots, stay up too long and your dead, very impactful. Every shot packs a punch. Unlike Mafia 3 where the guns felt like they were water guns, zero impact. The AI is too bad to say stealth was good in that but the melee takedowns were great.

Linc's car definitely helps going a to b in 2 but once you are at a location, it feels like a set piece from a mob movie, not as good as 1 but 100 times better than 3.

Anyway, 2 is getting absolutely **** on online but I'm having a lot of fun with it.

laneooo · 20-05-2020 7:38pm

I think for the time it was great...It came out in 2010, rdr came out around the same time and in my opinion mafia 2 looks and feels much better. It has some flaws but for the time it was outstanding IMO

Gamer Bhoy 89 · 20-05-2020 8:02pm

I'm doing the Chapter 3 mission where you have to break into the office building and take a document from a safe or whatever it is and I don't know if it's just me but the place is so feckin' dark and I hate that the cops just bully their way into that tiny little office you're trying to escape from.

Doing my nut in

laneooo · 20-05-2020 8:04pm

I am a big fan of 1+2 and they had a good story with 3 but it was executed horribly, I really wish they would have put more effort into this classic.

I turned my brightness up to 10 at the start with the logo test, put it down to 8 and it's fine, and I'm usually very bad for dark games since i got a 4 telly.

Also, for that level, you can avoid cops by

going to the basement and turning off the safe alarm.

in and out, no fuss.

Bite the bullet and restart the mission

not sure if it would put you at the start of the building or the start of the chapter though.
