- Direct visual comparison of the recently released Mafia Definitive Edition (Mafia Remake) and the fan-favorite Mafia II (both the Definitive Version and the Original) - all played on the PC at the highest settings.
#Mafia #Remaster #Comparison - Hry
I absolutely loved Mafia 1 remake, I just wished it was longer.
@H N gta has the same level of ai (as in pretty horrible), of course gta has better physics because the game is literally built off of how objects interact with each other (that comparison is like saying botw has better physics than wind water). lastly gta 5 had a budget of $260 million and was sold for $60 (and still is), while mafia likely had a sub 50 million dollar budget and is sold for $40 msrp
It's just needs some unending side quests, like raiding rival hideouts and some other stuff
@H N comparing games with rockstar is not fair. Gta iv has better ai and physics than most recent games including gta v. And gta v has better ai and physics than many of the recent games. So mafia is not at fault here
@@Vman_95 all i want is to take over bussineses by beating shopkeepers and smashing stuff
@@huhhuh364 And tbh Idk why they went with mafia 3 running and shooting they just upped the graphics
I don't understand why modern games designers are so obssessed with those quiet gun sound effect.
Me neither
It's easier to mix.
Pubg and dayz gun sounds are too loud
@@playerunkown8699 they need to be loud for easy recognition

4:39 the rat at the bottom right corner had me crying😂
lmao xD

I hope to see a Mafia 3 vs Mafia: Definitive Edition
That is what I wanted bcuz they run on the same engine
Mafia DE technically is what Mafia 3 could've became into from visual perspective. It really shows just how the third game should've taken extra time to polish.
@@Masternaldo actually mafia DE character are def better but mafia 3 did other models better
@@Muneeb_Akhtar except light balance sucks in mafia 3 unless u use a reshade
It's basically the same engine but with more polished n updated graphics
The shootouts/gunfights in Mafia DE, made me feel like i was watching an E3 trailer, or even watching a movie, the graphics and animations in Mafia DE was incredible imo. But Mafia 2 is just a classic.
Definitely has a cinematic feel
@@sean7332 Yeah
Rlly, mafia de has same animations from mafia3 they didn't bother creating new for tommy. I wouldve love to see tommy holding the pistol with both hands and the tommygun holding it lower like vito
And some people would say but Tommy held the pistol with 1 hand in original mafia but thats bcs at that time they couldnt animate him holding it with 2 hands, imagine how it would look. Look how they hold guns in original mafia
Mafia de only has story that's it. It's just empty shell of a game if you think about it. It kinda reminds me driver parallel lines when you do all the missions. Animations for two-handed weapons are also missing when you run or sprint. Physics are like watch dogs.
MAFIA DEFINITIVE EDITION CAME OUT LAST SEPTEMBER?!?! The pandemic really has us living in Groundhog Day, times flying by while also feeling like it isn’t moving at all
IKR ? Jesus, i thought it was 1 month ago
The game was announced almost a year ago lol time is flying
It felt like.yesterday I was celebrating the year 2000 and the news channels were reporting in Hospitals interviewing new parents and there millennium babys.
Now the baby's are over 20 years old and might be parents themselves now.
Life goes in fast so don't waste your time and enjoy life while you still able and healthy.
@@piercelawless1730 I’m one of those babies, I was born in 01’ and the time is definitely flying by especially being locked up all the time
Not worth it lol dont buy it
Mafia 3 Vs Mafia 1 remake would be more interesting IMO
mafia 3 def as well u mean with some reshade mods will beat mafia 1 remake
Mafia 3 is definitely less intensive than Mafia Definitive Edition. Im running both games on the lowest settings, because I'm running the minimum ram for both games (I'm currently too broke to upgrade my PC lol) and Mafia 3 ran at a smooth 45 FPS with minimal stuttering throughout. Mafia Definitive ran at 30 FPS with frequent dips into the 20s and heavy moments of freezing. Cutscenes would freeze, it would freeze while going into/exiting menus, it would freeze if you tried to vault over something while in cover, it would freeze while going into the garage, while getting on a motorcycle, while being chased by police, etc. And it would freeze for 1 to 2 minutes. Maybe even sometimes 3 or 4. I beat the game, but all in all the game froze probably 20+ times.
So I'm guessing that means Mafia DE has the more advanced systems graphically, despite both supposedly having the exact same minimum requirements as far as specs go. Or maybe Mafia 3 is just more refined, because apparently a lot of people experienced the same freezing I did with much higher end PCs.
Considered it - but I'm already going to be covering that game in plenty of detail with this documentary project. Perhaps afterwards :)
@@BrokenGodEnt never had freezing problems or huge dips. It was pretty fluent on my PC. With medium settings at 1080p.
@@TigerChamp99 I'd like to do that as well, but it's not currently planned for this year.
Mafia Remake is one of the few remakes that have done right technically and chronologically: improvements in every way compared to the quite old original title (the same as with Black Mesa (Half-Life), Crash Bandicoot (PS4), Oddworld (PS4), etc.)
Halo 2
Even original version of Mafia II looks stunning by today standards.
In fact even better than Remaster
This is what happens when you remaster a 7th gen game
It looks fine.
Okay today’s standards is definitely way higher but yes it does have its moments where it can look like a modern game
Todays standards we have games like rdr2 and control, mafia 2 still looks very much like a 2011 game
I am not partial to either- I think Mafia II is the best Mafia instalment when it comes to gameplay and handling, while Mafia DE has the best pacing, writing and character progression, let alone the plot.
So I'd really love a Mafia IV, especially if they combine the strenghts of all the Mafias :)
(OG Mafia's atmosphere and some of the physics, II gameplay, seasonal change and controls, III side content/open-endedness and DE's writing, design and presentation.)
They better stick with the first 2 games, with more focus in the original.
no,they need writing from OG mafia,just compare final monologue of original mafia and remake
The content and interactivity of Mafia 2 is quite satisfactory.
And to think it's just a scratch of what the game could've been like if they got to fully realized their original vision.. Too bad Take 2 Interactive seemed to put their favour more on Rockstar Games instead.
@@guywholikesthesnarkies1435 you can't blame them. Rockstar is a way better developer after all
@@MichaelM28 Take 2 could care less about actually promoting good developers, money and profit had always been their biggest priority for them and it would be the most logical decision to give special treatment for Rockstar Games because they happened to have build their reputation upon successful, quality video game franchises and for this reason, Rockstar Games are best known as their sole "premium" video game company.
Giving 2K Czech the same treatment for their Mafia 2 development would be a massive compromise because not only Mafia 2 was (originally) conceived with really ambitious ideas and vision that would demands just equally if not more financial backing, but it would also lead for "self-competing" between two apex games of the niche and that they couldn't properly maximize their profit.
@@MichaelM28 how do you know? they din't even let them have a chance to do what they are capable of
@@guywholikesthesnarkies1435 Just imagine 2k czech became a rockstar sub studio like rockstar San Diego and they properly finished mafia 2 with all the things planned for it, it could easily have been one of the Best games ever!
Mafia DE was such a pleasure to play, especially after so many years from endlessly playing that game as a kid
All we need now is Mafia II definitive definitive edition.
Yh cause mafia one looks better than 2
Lmao
Man... Nick really does not like trees does he? I wonder what the root of this hatred is???
Lel 😅 I see what u did there
You just couldn’t leaf it, could you?
I’d give this joke a 6/10
At some point his animosity branched off.
The faces in Definitive Edition are truly impressive. As a big fan of the original, I loved the remake.
Hi Nick, just wanted to say thank you to properly introducing+encouraging me to start this series. I bought the Mafia collection around launch but have only just started M1:DE now and it's a blast! Atmosphere, orchestra and sense of authenticity sets a new bar.
Came across the channel thanks to the amazing Splinter Cell uploads and it's one of my favs! Love watching all your uploads!
The situation with Mafia 2 Remaster sucks, I unfortunately experienced a similar level of quality with the Shenmue 1&2 re-releases (ported by the same developer as M2:Re). At this point would you recommend playing the 360 backwards compatible version > the remaster? Thx
Will definitely be checking out more of the types of games you like+recommend! Thx again!
Just finished Mafie DE, damn! this game is amazing. Wish it's longer tho
Boring empty game after finishing. And they left it not even giving it dlc or fixes. Pathetic
@@samw2670 i agree with the first thing you said.
@@samw2670 Not every game has to be a full packed open world experience with irrelevant stuff to do. mafia de is a welcome change to all the modern open world games which feel somehow the same
@Frank 'punisher' Castle have u tried rdr2
@Frank 'punisher' Castle yessir it’s a masterpiece
I love mafia the definitive edition because it feels like it's going back to the roots of the series, after mafia 3 seemed to stray so far from the original 2 games. Personally I hope to see a mafia 4 with the visuals of mafia the definitive edition but the world design and gameplay features of mafia 2.
Mafia is one of my all time favorite games. When I first played it, the visuals blew my mine and were like nothing I'd seen to date. I still have my PC box and game discs, as well as the map of the city.
7:01 One interesting part about the GI for me, I might be wrong but it seems that the implementation is real time, and this is evident if you enter on any rooms with open windows the game will dynamically streams the indirect lighting and light bounces from the direct lighting (which possibly suggest that the "static" direct lighting is rendered in real time as well). I think it's pretty mindblowing if that's the case.
Mafia 2 was my favorite open world game for the longest time. Looks like it will be my favorite remastered game as well!
I got the remaster for free and... I ended up replaying original Mafia II with SweetFX on top. Mafia II DE just doesn't feel like an improvement on a PC.
@@marciusnhasty true but if you the Old Time Reality Mod for the og one its even better
Mafia 2 isnt really considered an open world game
@@soheelegb6851 true that
@@soheelegb6851 How so
The shotgun from Mafia: Definitive Edition is fantastic
Its terrible!
@@DurangoCzechoslovakia it's amazing!
@@DurangoCzechoslovakia I think he means a lupara
Thanks Nick amazing content like always .
I always loved the Mafia series . Cant wait for the documentry
im subscribed for a long time! and waiting till the end of the month to see the entire documentary!
New documentary is finally done ! Its rendering and uploading
Thanks for your amazing work !
Beautiful Chanel and good source of having motion blur off she we can see the true image keep up with the direct comparisons can’t wait for the GtA trilogy playing this game for the first time it’s fun going back in forth between these games and Gta4 in open world standards
Mafia remake and mafia 2 are one of my most fav games of last gen and last-last gen respectively
❤️❤️ love your work
Both look great. Mafia II should have been given the same facelift as Mafia the definitive edition. That would have been awesome. I got Mafia 2 (classic) from games with gold a long time ago but I'm definitely getting both on PC. If we ever get a new Mafia game, hope it takes place in the 80's.
Love mafia 2 one of the best 360 games I play still. Its a shame the open world elements weren't fully fleshed out but its good just for the story alone
MAFIA II is GOLD. (period)
Yeah. I like mafia 1 de better but I wish you could rob stores in mafia 1 de
I wish Mafia 1 DE was good
@@omareltayar102 what do you mean? It is good. They redid voice acting which sounds great.
The open world is empty and the combat is broken, the voice acting is cringy, bad level design, the game is just terrible
@@omareltayar102 it’s a step up from the first mafia. For example at the end when Vito pulls up and says “Tommy Angelo” in the first game Tommy sounded like he was confused which doesn’t make sense because he knew people were gonna come after him. In the second game when Vito says “Tommy Angelo” Tommy responds confirming he is Tommy Angelo by saying yes with a note confirming voice. Also there are a lot of collectibles to get after beating the game which isn’t in the first game. It kept me busy for a while.
I like your comparison vidios men!
Love your videos😍
I think GTA should take note of the speeding ticket mechanic. It doesn't affect the player much (you don't feel like it happens all the time and doesn't become frustrating) and it adds a level of immersion unseen in the GTA games.
Yea but part of what makes gta fun is the crazy cops that shoot on sight, rockstar doesn’t go for immersion they go for cartoon violence
@@JoeMama-rw1gb I agree they go for a cartoonish violence at some levels but I also think they strive for believable and immersive worlds. One of the things that has often been said is that Rockstar games are often most impressive because you can get lost in the detailed worlds they create and you feel like another inhabitant of their creation. I definitely think they go for immersion when creating their worlds and would like to see where they go next with small details like this that can make a big difference.
The Mafia speed limit mechanic is just a suggestion as I think it works really well in making players feel like they have to follow the rules of the game world even though they can easily break them. It doesn't hold players back but it adds a level of immersion as it makes some players want to drive normally at times and not speed around.
@@JoeMama-rw1gb I think GTA is more a parody of american society.
I seriously loved Mafia DE. It wasn’t perfect but it was fun and interesting. It’s definitely worth another playthrough in my opinion
How did you get the gander looks so good I put all the settings on high and it still doesn’t look that good for mafia 1
Both editions are great but I think mafia 2 (not even the def edition) has some of the Best winter maps I have ever seen because every time the maps don't give a good feeling but when I played mafia 2 it felt like the map was very real to 90s and felt very excited because we could rob stores and interact a lot and repair random peoples car it felt like interaction was a lot in mafia 2. pretty all it depends on what game are you trying to seek. if you're trying to seek an interactive and a good story game I would recommend mafia 2 and if you're trying to find a game with a lot of action and updated graphics then mafia 1 (def) or mafia III
Baldurs Gate 2 and Mafia Definitive Edition and Mafia II are my favourite games ever. I love this vintage feeling and the nostalgia when I play Mafia 1-2.
Thank you for doing a mafia documentary! That's awesome!
Dear, subscribe and learn a lot really💞👉
Music got a little bit loud throughout the middle of the video, but other than that an excellent video thanks Nick!
Great video .. thank you!
Do you plan on doing the XIII (13) Remake comparison Nick?
Oh wow so...I just bought this as a " trilogy " on steam and played the first one......It was big and beautiful and it got me wrapped up in the story once again as I played these games when they originally released...I just loaded mafia 2 and I was like wtf is this...it looks terrible in comparison...
I just love that intro sound
I really wanna see Mafia Remake vs Mafia 3 Definitive Edition
Maf 3 needs a bit more than a face lift but i still love the game
Final Fantasy 15 vs Final Fantasy 7 Remake sounds like a good ideea to do when the game will appear on pc in a few months, what do you think nick? Ah and btw I like your videos
I come at this from a unique perspective. I loved the Mafia 1 remake, it was an amazing remaster and it was one of the games I got to enjoy during lockdown!
I enjoyed playing the original Mafia back when it was new, but I got stuck in the "drive in the country" level so I put it aside and continued with my life. Thanks to the availability of youtube, I bought Mafia Definitive Edition and found where I was stuck and was able to continue and beat the game almost 20 years later! I loved the improvements the remaster made.
Yes, a little crosshair infront of the muzzle would've been better.
Mafia ll. is my favourite
Something funny I noticed in the Mafia 1 remake was that during the bank heist mission the moneybags you take has a picture of Louisiana on it. It seems Hanger 13 used the Mafia 3 model for Mafia 1
Отсылка к мафия 3
Mafia II’s sound design makes the world feel lived in
I waited for this. Knew about it through the community polls, they were a great idea :)
It sucks that the cloth physics are broken in Mafia 2 DE.
Also, no photo mode in Mafia DE
Damn, Nick always delivers
Both games are good. I can say that those games are a must play. And I've liked a Mafia game with level of destruction at least the same as Mafia 2 but with the graphic design of Mafia DE.
which game would you prefer for free roam? not just the beauty of the city but also things to do.
I only watch your reviews str8 forward n detailed
I remember i used my old 8800GTS as second card just for the Physics, it did run better than just run it with my main card :-) and Physics option on On.
I remember Mafia (not sure) was the first game that had Physics in it.
How has this guy only got 340k sunscribers! Wtf get this man a million!
I just finished #1 and was amazed with the graphics and such a great story! then I started #2 and was so disappointed in the down grade in graphics especially the characters, you'd think it should be better than the first but nope! And the story doesn't get you invested in the characters like the first.
8:45 I mean you have NVIDIA Physx activated on Mafia 2 it makes sense that the physics and simulations were better there than in Mafia remake so it's kinda a odd comparison.
Can you do direct comparison of Turok vs the Xbox one remaster
For me overall Hangar 13 did a great job tho,from preventing countless of bugs
Yeah
It’s a reskin of M3, of course a lot of the bugs would be ironed out
I just bought Mafia 3 today and this gets recommended, scary.
Should have bought the trilogy
@@justins8304 😂😂😂
the mafia series is one that I've wanted to get into for a while now. would mafia definitive edition be worth picking up?
In my opinion,no,i can describe the game like this:mafia 3 with a mafia dlc with better graphics,the story is fantastic but the animations,sound effects even movements are all from mafia 3.
Mafia Definitive is a great way to get introduced to the series. They're all pretty self-contained though so it's not like you NEED to play any of them in order.
I'd save Mafia 3 for last - only because it's definitely the weakest entry
@@rosanaandrade922 man, at least stop spreading bs, hm?
It literally feels nothing like mafia 3. Everyone who played the game knows that, but of course you din't
@@Nick930 thanks man. its always really cool to see that you take the time to respond to your subscribers
Amazing!!
mafia2 de was a retexturing/remastering, while mafia1 de was a remake. The former had to limit certain things for the old engine to handle.
it's funny the apex physx is high but doesn't even affect vito's clothes. while in original mafia 2 with physx off u still can see the clothes physics
The Nvidia effects were downgraded in the MAFIA 2 "DEFINITIVE" .The original Mafia II has better physx than most 2021 games.If you guys don't believe me,go replay the game max out.
@@agentsmith6161 people struggled to have maxed settings in original game, but the physx was too heavy, i only got 12-15 fps by just turning on low physx settings
@@ramaalgifary With today's hardware I think it's ok.But you can cap the game at 30 fps and still have a good time.If you still have performance problems.
@@agentsmith6161 i'm the one who plays the game at 25-30 and it's still enjoyable lol
@@ramaalgifary :)
I can’t wait to see the GTA Documentary video
After playing the remastered mafia, I was hoping the definitive of mafia II had the same graphics when I bought 😞 still a great game however
2009, 10 was all about technology and pushing realism
Games such as gta IV, farcry 2 and mafia 2 had amazing technical advantages
Do a comparison with dark souls remastered with the original or 3 with 2
I Think You Should Make A poll For Us To Vote At The End Of The Video For The Best Sound Design
Great idea
Mafia definitive edition looks so goood
I know Nvidia 3D Vision driver support was ended by Nvidia but no mention that Mafia 2 was very good in 3D Visionso has the Mafia II: Definitive Edition lost 3D support now?
Man i realyhope mafia 4 is ( a long time ) in dev... im realy into that mob stuff , and with out a new gta for 8 yrs now , there is a hole to be filled with a mafia / gta kinda game..
some people forget that MDE isn't an open world game
yeah i agree
Neither is Mafia 2, and it still did everything better.
if that’s the case then all of them aren’t open world
@@DurangoCzechoslovakia Mafia 2 had diners, restaurants, gun stores, clothing stores, car mechanics etc. and had an open world environment
@@Stormertheboy that’s my point
Great comparison apart from the sound section where it was all boiled down to gun shooting effects and nothing more.
Original Mafia 2 is still best looking Mafia game.
This game has a Awesome vibe.
You need more subs
Although the Mafia remake is an amazing experience I wish they would drop that engine they use. It has some fundamental problems that can destroy the game in a matter of seconds
(1) You can kill shadows in dark areas or at high speed.
Mostly found in Mafia 3 but seen throughout Mafia 1 is the abundance of dead shadows in which the engine can't calculate the surroundings so ( speeding up to the dam in mafia 1) will result in the ground being jet-black and your charcter turning into a Simpsons charcter with a yellow hue to their skin
(2) Vampire mirrors
Ever since they started using the new engine with Mafia 3 the reflections in mirrors have disappeared or glitched out entirely this is made even more jarring when you take into account the beautiful screen spaced reflections used elsewhere in the world and the fact these reflections worked in their previous engine
(3) WTF its broken
The entire engine can break completely at points and even if you delete the game and reinstall it there's still a plethora of problems that perpetuate the experience.
Can't wait for that documentary!
I remember when Mafia II still held the world record for most F-Bombs in a video game script.
I learned this only after I put it out on display at work.
Oops.
Huh, I never counted this. I would naturally expect that The Witcher in 2008 came out as a record breaker and that Mafia II for PC few years later wasn't even close to having more F-Bombs. Perhaps The Witcher just stole all of the shock value and than all of it simply passed by me in Mafia II.
@@marciusnhasty "Mafia 2 broke the Guiness World Record for the most number of times a video game uses the "f-word". The "f-word" is used over 200 times by many characters in the game. The CZcams channel "Rooster Teeth" posted a video displaying proof that the game really did break the record.

No it can’t be…
Mafia II tech is still really cool. I want Mafia II remake though. But my unpopular opinion is that they should redo the story, personally I'm not a fan of Mafia II's story and writing.
I agree with you there. As much as I love the gameplay and responsiveness, the characters were irritating and the plot (Except for that one twist) neither intriguing nor as well-written as DE or OG.
+ Personally, i think the gameplay is very boring.
@@renmorpheus Nice, someone agrees! Honestly I find it hard to believe Mafia II was written by Vavra, he only left 1 year before release, and all of the cut stuff was just side mission stuff, not themes/character writing. I excused Mafia 1's issues by saying he was only 23 when he wrote the script, but now I'm having my doubts about him. It's just generic gangster stuff. Vito as a character sucks compared to Joe. His mom and sister aren't all that compelling, neither are the other gangsters, compared to Paulie and Salieri from the remake.
@@henrywinters9496 I mean to be fair, dialogue in OG Mafia was quite bad too, but Vavra nailed the overall plot and the choice of time period helped make it interesting despite the genre trappings. And yeah, there was a human quality to the characters which pretty much only Joe and Henry did in 2 (Kind of sad, really, because the voice work was generally very strong).
Pacing also was quite over the place, the plot too loosely connected.
DE was definitely a step-up in all these aspects compared to both, so I can only hope Hangar's writers now can do that too with a new game (As Mafia III's plot was rather thin and devoid of interesting plot points) ^^
@@renmorpheus Haden blackmen (hangar 13's writer) won several awards for best story telling... He is also the boss of the company, i thing that's a good thing
Why didn't they use the Team from Mafia II for Mafia III, sometimes i get the feeling they didn't even play the second part :(
i really want to play mafia II DE but i just can't after playing the first becuase the way mafia II handles is too diferent and the graphical quality is wayyyy down, i really wish they did the same to II as they did to I
? On console they are not really that different
You should do a Marvel's Spider-Man remastered vs Miles Morales I would like to see that I can't find a video like your about the too games so hopefully you can do it if not love the videos they're great and fun to watch
They just gave up trying to make M2 DE on par with the quality of the first. In fact, it got progressively lasier after the first with 3 just having a different lighting system - which I'll admit it needed - but it clearly just felt like the care wasn't consistent across all games.
what about car physics in mafia 2 are better then definitive ?
I disagree with the explosions. In mafia 2 the fireball looks bad and 2d in comparison to mafia de's. Pause at 8:27
I loved both
7:10 the leaves just paused in mid- air
Big fan of you sir
How about mafia II vs GTA IV??
The Division 2 vs Breakpoint ?
