It appears that original owners of digital copies of Mafia III standard edition are being offered a free upgrade by the developers which is a really nice touch by 2k games. You can obtain both Mafia II and III definitive editions right now on most platforms, however the first Mafia remake won’t be available until mid August 2020.įor this review I’ll be focusing my time on Mafia III definitive edition, which I’ll be playing on Xbox One X. Then a short few days later we found out that the first Mafia would be completely remade from the ground up and Mafia II and III would be getting remasters. This sent Mafia fans into a bit of a frenzy, admittedly my initial thoughts were a hint at a whole new title. The first insight we had into this was when their official social media channels uploaded an image with simply the word “Family”.
Update: Lincoln is ex-Special Forces and he can't run at a sprint for longer than 5 seconds? Come on, I'm 50 and an ex-Army Ranger and I can, and do, regularly run far longer and faster than this guy half my age, lol.We had unexpected news in the gaming industry recently that the entire Mafia series of games would be getting a serious makeover. Now I have to constantly watch where I put my feet so I don't lose any more progress and that is taking all the fun out of a game when I'm constantly looking down worried some box or branch or piece of trash is going to force a restart. I can sneak, take cover and vault/climb but not jump? WTH.
If you're giving me total freedom to travel around an area, then you need to give me full mobility to do it. Not having a jump button in a modern game, to me, is unacceptable. If I had the ability to jump, I could have easily gotten over that tiny obstacle and continued having fun. I had to reload my last checkpoint and lost all my progress from the last 30 minutes. Problem was, I ran over a six inch tall branch and became instantly stuck between low lying branches on the ground. But then, after thirty minutes of taking out Dixie guys and grabbing lots of cash and a sweet sniper rifle, I had the cops called on me and ran out of sight across the street to the water. Having the chance to hear the music of my childhood in a modern game, see the sights and sounds of the 60s and 70s again and drive some cool rides would be immersive enough. When I first started the game I didn't think that not being able to jump would bother me that much. It's nowhere near a classic but it's also nowhere near as poor as advertised. I think a lot of the hate came from the fact this wasn't "traditional" Mafia in the eyes of some because of Lincoln's background & heritage. I'm also not a fan of the lethargic customization options (I dug the beard and would prefer if the hairstyles weren't exclusive to certain outfits) but all in all, I'm having fun. I dislike that there isn't much to do in the city, however. I love The Punisher vibe he gives off and while very violent, he's a man of principle and I sympathize with his conflict, which means H13 did their job. While it's repetitive (most games are) and far from a technical marvel, the story grabbed me from the getgo and Lincoln is easily one of the most likeable protagonist I've played as in some time. I avoided this initially because of the negative word of mouth but figured why not give it a shot since its free on PSN this month. This is a place for discussion after all.
