News Mafia II Remastered/Mafia II Trailer Comparison

[Aelphaeis Mangarae]

Thanks to the Xbox Store leak, we have the trailer for Mafia 2 Remastered.


Someone posted the trailer alongside the original version.



They're basically the same trailer, but with updated footage and some different shot selections in places. The visual upgrades are interesting. Glass bottles looking like glass is the most noticeable thing. But across the entire game there seem to be nips and tucks. Updated models, updated textures, more modern lighting. It's not in the same league as the Mafia 1 Remake, but it looks nice. There's also quite a lot of particle effects and chunks when walls are shot, so I wonder if they've recreated the PhysX PC exclusive physics from the OG version for the remaster.

Not that the original version was a graphical showcase but I'm going to need to see more than the changes the trailer show to justify grabbing the remaster. But it's early and they might put out more to whoa me

Maybe it's me, but it looks like the original version looks better

I remember Mafia II as one of those games that eventually made me upgrade my GPU to a GTX 470. Great Physx showcase as well.

Then I change 'buy' to 'replay', but that is a nice gesture by 2K. Now I just need to actually buy and play 3.

you should, it's really good (as long as you avoid all the open-world bullshit as much as possible [some of it is required for story progress])
