Just downloaded it. No doubt they'll probably revoke it, wonder if turning my PS4 offline while I complete it will work.

Found my sweet spot for the visuals. MSAA 8x + SMAA with .09 sharpening added thru nvidia control panel, all options maxed. Vignette and CA turned off
Some areas seem to look a lot better than others, not sure every texture got the 4k treatment. At 1440p smooth as silk on 2070 Super
couple glitches like NPC floating under the street or gliding around instead of walking

Nice! Didn't expect the upgrade to be free. Installing Mafia II now.
Did they change anything to Mafia III?

I think 2K are making a bit of a fools of themselves. Last week they made an announcement of an announcement which got leaked right away. Out this trilogy remake is the only one valuable(I hope), Mafia II remaster is a bad joke, Mafia III is just a deluxe version named definitive, genius move here(not really). Could've just dropped banger trailer for a remake and give Mafia II for a pre-order and upgrade III to a definitive if one is owned. That would be less confusing since I see a lot of people think that those remake's screenshots are from Mafia's II "remaster".

I definitely think they really could have simplified the message a little. I understand some of the confusion.

Mafia 2 certainly looks better on my One X on a 4k tv than it does on youtube. People are straight up lying when they say it looks exactly the same as on PS3/360.

See the way they are doing it essentially reselling Mafia 3 as is already with new tile art might be shrewd business move as its bumped the game right up the PSN list into the new releases. I bet that kind of marketing exposure would normally cost $$$$.
Is it a different trophy set? As its locked out for me rather than the option to re-download (Mafia 3 deluxe edition owner).

Strange issue on PC. I have my sound set to 5.1 in Windows and in game, but during cut scenes the voices come out of just the left speaker. During gameplay the voices come out the center as usual so it's just in cut scenes. At least I get the voices, some old threads of the original game people had to set to stereo instead of 5.1 to hear the voices in cut scenes.

Well you are wrong because a google search has remake plastered all over both those titles, wikipedia also calls them remakes. It's literally everywhere. If you found one trailer saying remastered then it was also an error from someone else who is confused. But it looks like there is no confusion about calling both Crash and MediEvil remakes. I don't believe the companies are confused at all.

Quit while you are ahead, there are set definitions, companies do not use what they want and those definitions don't refer to the same thing in any context. Those definitions are set to what they do to the game. You yourself can look at a game and know if it was a remake or remaster by those exact definitions.
We have seen the Mafia 1 screenshots.. It's a remake. We've seen screenshots and some gameplay now of Mafia 2, it's a remaster! Look with your own eyes, not sure what is confusing about it. Also Mafia did not use whatever suited them, they said exactly what they are.

OK so I played it for a few hours on PC and it definitely looks way better than before. Textures are more crisp and lighting is vastly improved. I'm actually very happy considering that this was a free update on Steam. Game shows its age in cutscenes but the gameplay looks great.

Many store descriptions says that those Crash games were remastered instead of remade. PS Store says that for example. They don't use the word remake. Also Wikipedia shouldn't really be used as a source but they are called remasters there too:

BTW., if you are watching comparison videos, ignore the cutscenes. It seems that these are pre-rendered and in much lower quality than the actual gameplay in 4K. Focus only on gameplay!

How is the performance normal PS4? Have the patches made it better?

Show me those set definitions lmao
why cant an upgraded version of a game be a remake?
Why cant a full reimagining be called a remaster?

No the gameplay is fine. The guns in particular sound and feel great with beyond adequate hit animations and visual feedback. They even patched in bullet time and slomo driving a la GTAV.
The issue is that aside from the actual assassination missions where you take out the big wigs one at a time, it can get pretty repetitive, but the writing, soundtrack and style pull it along.

Are you serious bro? You realize this just doesn't apply to video games. Remake and Remaster are very different as per the definitions I previously gave you, I didn't make up those definitions, they are the proper definitions, look them up. Those definitions also answer your questions. I just realized it's the English language you are confused with not remakes and remasters of video games.
You are either trolling or really stupid.

Do saves from the original Mafia III carry over to the definitive version, on PC at least?

Yes it doesnt apply to videogames because videogame bysiness is all about tricking the consumer

Ok, let me admit, I have not played Crash N. Sane Trilogy... From what I'm reading these are the same 3 games graphically enhanced. If that is correct then these are remasters which means my argument is still right. My original point was that there is no confusion between remaster and remake. I only said it was a remake because this is what you said:
It might be confusing because sometimes companies call remakes remasters. Crash N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled are called remasters even though they are basically remakes with new graphics.
It's yourself that's confused because you implied this game was called a remaster but is a remake. It's the exact same 3 games so it is a remaster.. You only need to follow the English definition of remake and remaster. It's not hard.

they just added all the dlc, added a few settings and renamed it. it's still the same thing so yes.
there's nothing "definitive" about this..

Old Time Reality mod completely destroys this version. Good thing they left the Mafia II "Classic" in our Steam Games List. Have to use that if you are going to use the mod. Otherwise the mod won't work.

Lets look at the definitions to see why.
Remaster - "make a new master of (a recording), typically in order to improve the sound quality."
Remake - "a film or piece of music that has been filmed or recorded again."
When applying the same logic to games it becomes clear why. A remaster is taking the original assets and code and prettying them up a little. Textures may be from higher resolution sources, there might be nice shiny new shaders and there might be slight tweaks here or there, but at its core it's still the exact same game with the same code running in the background. A remake on the other hand is where they remake the assets and code from scratch. Original assets and code may be referenced, depending on how faithful they want to be, however none will make their way into the final product.
This is why The Last Of Us Remastered or Resident Evil (REmaster) are remasters but Resident Evil (REmake), Resident Evil 2 or Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy are remakes...no matter what their product pages claim.
