Add it to the list. Game pass has too much to play.

One of the better remakes that never gets mentioned.
Not too long, linear, amazing soundtrack, great voice acting and looks gorgeous.
If you enjoyed the Mafia 3 gunplay you'll feel right at home (just no slo mo aiming)

Played this last year. The game absolutely gripped me. I love these short and focused games.

Its BS that this never received a next gen patch considering it came out 1.5 months prior to the next gen consoles!
Patch it you stingy fucks!

I remember playing the original on the first PC I ever bought.

Not as good as Mafia 2.

This game sucks. Not sure why it was an open-world game. Really nothing to do outside the main story

I don’t. The thing that stands out in my memory was that it had great reflections. I don’t know why.
And I think it came out near Max Payne 2. I remember playing them not too far from each other.

You don’t have to play it like an open world game. Sure, it has a big map for its day, but it was still a linear game.

I loved the original. I can’t speak on the remaster, or if the original holds up in 2024.
This thread did make me buy L.A. Noire though. Adding another game I will likely not play, but purchased on sale ($19.99 on ps store).

It’s not an open world game. The city is window dressing for the point a to b story missions.
Same goes for 2

2 was a little more open. Then again, all I remember about 2 was the scattered Playboy mags as collectibles.

I picked up L.A. Noire on the PS store during the winter/holiday sale. I hadn't played it since the PS360 days. I enjoy it.

That’s all there was to do. Either look for playboys or take cars to mikes garage for unnecessary cash. No actual side missions.

Oh no?! How dare they deprive people of pointless collectibles and/or repetitive side quests!

Well why not make it linear instead of putting it in an open world?

So they'd have to design the open city anyway for the game to take place, but you'd have them put invisible walls during the missions to make it appear more linear. How does that improve anything?

I've never played this series. Seeing some positive impressions in here is encouraging.

Then it's a great opportunity to get into it. I'd say the original Mafia is still superior for me, but it's a great remake regardless. If you end up liking it then the second game is also a no-brainer. Just don't make the mistake of expecting something that plays like GTA.

Well it’s an open world game then. Not sure why the person I replied to said it wasn’t.

Depends on your definition. There's a full city since it's a driving game, but it's not designed as your traditional open world with extra content and exploration. It's basically a linear story game taking place in an open city and that's it.

The first Godfather game was legitimately great.

Great game. Easy day 1 download.

It turned out quite good as a remake. Mostly hits the "as you remember in your head" requirement. Only key miss I suppose is the new Tommy actor doesn't have the charm of the OG.

Mafia 1 is an all-time classic. Remake is also REALLY GOOD (despite some changes that made some people notnliking it).
Mafia 2 is also great.
Just don't expect anything from the garbage and repeat-the-same-thing-over-and-over-and-over Mafia 3. Atmosphere was great, the game, not so much (nicely speaking).

I was never huge in the GTA genre. Loved Sleeping Dogs but that was about it. I'll definitely try this out. There's a lot of stuff out there I may like, but was never convinced enough to buy it.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Nice game, kinda short but has a pretty nice story.
It's a good remake too, original is still better imo but this one is great for the modern audiences.

And the good thing is it isnt some major time sink. The first two games can each be finished in 15 hours, maybe even a little less. The third game is much much longer though (and repetitive, but the story, writing, and soundtrack are all top fucking notch)
Mafia 3 is THE one game Im most worried about at this point when it comes to music licenses running out. Shines a huge light onto licensed soundtracks in period piece games and how important they are to the experience. Like I couldnt imagine losing Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" that plays during the TITLE SCREEN (best title screen music ever? Quite possibly).

I've seen part 3 on deep sales many times so if I like this one I'll definitely consider it!

If you enjoy 1 and 2 enough you might as well play the third. They are all connected
Which is why the wait for 4 has been super painful lol

Good game, although the original masterpiece is unmatched and this is more of a reimagining than remake.
There is actually another remake of the original game being made (by fans) in the engine of Mafia 2 which is planned to be much more faithful. If they manage to finish it, it could be a better remake than the official one.
