![]() ![]() All the ingredients were there for it to have been one of the best of the year, especially with all the additional DLC content thrown in to round out the story. ![]() This for me is unforgivable in a re-master of a game that for many people was a classic last-gen title. I tried to get a screen capture of this but with the old camera angles, I had to go into the stairwell to see them, and the moment I tried it was instant death like I was under fire from an army. In other situations I had the complete opposite, such as the jewellery store heist, when you escape to the rooftop, I had to reload that 3 times as I couldn’t trigger the cut scene because the police officers (who were supposed to chase you onto the roof) got stuck in the stairwell. Speaking of tiresome… Anyone finish loading the crates? But, when you combine that with AI bugs and in some cases AI enemies literally spawning out of nowhere around you it can become tiresome. I know technically that’s a graphics point and I will come back to it a little later but feel it has to be mentioned here as well because it literally destroys the gameplay.Īs we knew we were getting a remaster and not a remake I can forgive things like the combat mechanics and camera angles being outdated, in truth a little part of me even enjoys it as nostalgia. Why is that? Because as much as I know that the game I loved is in there somewhere, it’s hidden beneath bugs and issues that no remaster done in 2020 should have to suffer.Īccording to the listing, this is supposed to be an Ultra HD Remaster, this does mean 4K right? Well, I’d hate to see how it looks in 4K because even running at 1080p I experienced frame drops and slowdown so bad that I had to just quit playing completely and restart the game. ![]() Vito enjoying life – for now!Īs someone that was a huge fan of this game when it came out back on PS3, it pains me to say that the remaster should be locked in a box and sent to sleep with the fishes. ![]() Mafia II tells the story of Vito Scaletta and his need to do right by his family at any cost, leading him into a life of crime more dangerous than the war he left behind. GameplayĪs this is a re-release of a 10-year-old game, I won’t go into too much detail on the story as I’m sure 95% of you have probably already played it or at the very least heard about it. Now we have all that out of the way, let’s see how well this re-master has been ‘made’. To round off the trilogy, 2K will be releasing a ground-up remake of the original Mafia game which is due out in August. While this is a review of the PS4 version it has also been released on other platforms and it’s worth noting that if you own the original on PC then you can upgrade to the Definitive edition completely free.Īlong with Mafia II, 2K is releasing a Definitive edition of Mafia III which again if you’re lucky enough to already own, the upgrade is completely free. The re-master is being handled by Hanger 13, a studio working under 2K’s banner. Mafia II Definitive Edition is a remaster of the classic that came out 10 years ago from 2K Czech. ![]()
