There's a reason why the ending in the remake is a bit anticlimactic. In the original, you had Tommy and Paulie wanting to do the bank job because they thought that after the diamond heist, they were underpaid by Salieri. In the remake, when they discover that it wasn't diamonds, but dope, they thought it was just to dangerous and they wanted out. In the original, they got greedy, in the remake, they got scared.

The original end message in Mafia is particularly wise and well rounded; like it's probably the best advice you'll get from a video game. Always makes the replay worth it, just to hear that sentiment again. Whereas the remake signs off in the simple manner that the game was conceived and designed for, in line with the character changes. As said, most of the unpleasant changes in the remake are purely based on the pre-existing formula for making games these days.

Actually before the sex worker bit they bring up how Tommy isn’t too fond of dirty work (like shooting someone who isn’t shooting back). Telling him it’s tuff luck when he is assigned the mission. And on the drive over you can feel his dread on what he is about to do. And how he attempts to mask these emotions when Sam tells him to spare her. Giving him an opportunity to not shoot her, but he hesitates slightly because he both doesn’t want to betray the family and doesn’t want to shoot her.

I have to peacefully disagree, I played both the original and the remake, and even with nostalgia glasses on I can see just how subpar the original was. Yes they focused on realism, which frankly was a lot of fun at times, but with how painful the driving was, to not even being able to transition to better cover without being sniped across the road by an untrained mafiaso who just happened to always be perfect accurate with a tommy gun (even though when the player uses it, it has the accuracy of a stapler) just got plain frustrating at times. And yes there were no collectibles back then, but the remake does not even focus on them, you don’t have to pick them up, and they just add little cool things to look at. The Remake revitalized the game in a different perspective, not focusing on the realistic combat on the mafioso, but instead the Hollywood Scarface perspective. I frankly enjoyed both takes on the combat, and still prefer the originals slow methodical burn, but can still appreciate what they were going for. Who cares if something is over the top, we always forget that sometimes we just want to have a cool sequence. And frankly, saying the music was bland is just poor taste, the music was incredible and went with the game correctly. I found myself actually going along with the music in the combat, and even when driving. Also in general, I did love how the cars felt like tanks and 40 tons of metal, but after experiencing modern day racing games and just the pure joys of modern engines, the cars of old just aren’t as fun to drive, but more-so appreciate as the relics they are. But hey I’m ranting and I know several of you will disagree! I am glad this is a channel where people can voice their opinions and not be silenced. I just loved both games so much I could not watch without saying something

I think the ending is actually pretty decent in the new one. Because Tommy has a more consistent character, it's nice to see his arc come to a close as it were, and it does it in an emotional way. All the meta stuff about how, actually, you end up worse off etc is done via paulie, and his reason for wanting to do the bank heist. And you can kind of tell that from all the fleshed out scenes with Sarah etc too, especially towards the end. Also kind of closes things off nicely with Sarah/his kid, with the last line Tommy says, which I felt better for me overall. Think I preferred Tommy's complete arc, as opposed to a metanarrative over how crime is bad for you.

I loved the original game. It was and still is my favourite game of all time, but I personally think that the remake is an improvement over the original. Sure, there are some things that the original did better (most notably the fact that the city was changing and dynamic, which isn't as apparent on the remake), but overall the things that the remake makes better elevate it over the original. Especially when it comes to character development. At the start sure, the change in the characters is somewhat dissappointing, but I think they are needed in order to make sense of the story. It never made sense to me why Paulie wanted to rob the bank in the original, but in the remake it makes complete sense and goes in line with his character much better. The actor that plays Salieri is also absolutely amazing. I loved every minute that he was on screen, both in terms of his voice and movement.

Why the hell not! Make free ride like GTA style with badass, crazy and stupid missions (like chasing UFO) and main story make sirious and linear (just like original and remake Mafia).

Souhlasím. Myslím že většina lidí co na tu hru nadává tak trochu nepobírá tu pointu tý hry a nebo jsou to masivní hnidopiši. Ta hra nemá nahradit originál jedničku. Ta hra je prostě jen moderní reimaginace klasiky se špetkou nostalgie navrch a jejich vlastním stylem. Neřekl bych že to vyloženě vzdává poctu, ale určitý respekt k originálu (a jeho duchu) tu stále je. Nevyhraje to asi žádný ceny ale vůbec to ani neurazí. Já teda nelituju své koupě a jsem docela rád že se tenhle takřka světový remake vůbec stal a dokonce byl i český dabing se (skoro) všemi originální dabéry.

As someone who played the remake and then the original I have to say that the remake’s ending stuck with me more. I’d have to put that down to age though, the original everything just feels a lot more artificial, the animation, the scene, music even the voice acting could be a bit off and every time that happened it just took me out. The ending in the remake with the family gathering around Tommy as he dies as he comforts them telling them they’re safe with his dying breaths and the game ending on the grim music makes the ending stick with me a lot more. Plus that last sentence Sam spoke was probably one of my favorite moments, the original he just insults you calling you crazy. In the remake he tries to weasel is way out “remember that time, You, Me, And Paulie-“ I just found that so brilliant for some reason.

Seemed odd to me that you preferred the ending speech of the original -- his tone of voice is competely unemotional as he rambles on like he's having a friendly conversation in a coffee shop. This is a very strange contrast with the images we are watching of him lying dead in the grass.

I think this game isn't for the hardcore fans, it's made for those like me who wanted to play the original but all the annoying immersion stuff got in the way. I understand the appeal, but for many they want the story and the Mafia feel. I think everyone attacks the graphics saying the game's only claim is it looks better, but I think people forget how empty the original feels. In terms of visual design, the original doesn't exactly feel like the 1930's, and the streets feel so barren that it makes the game feel so empty. This isn't a technical limitation, as GTA Vice City replicates 1980's Miami well, and the streets are pretty populated. The remake looks like 1930's Chicago and feels more populated. Personally though, if you hate the remake so much, look at it as this. The original is what happened, the remake is a movie's retelling of events. Also I think the "Yes" Tommy gives at the end is much better. He's been hiding so when someone says his real name he should know what's coming, and he does. Instead of being confused, he takes it head on

At the second time that I played this game, I ignored what the game try to tell me to do, and I played as the original Mafia, as I remember the map, instead of trying to lose my pursued, I try to take the short cuts, and go directly to Central Island, and take the short cut to reach Salieri Bar, doing this the game goes directly to a cut scene, but my computer only have half of specs to play this game, so I play Mafia II Director Cut and Mafia III, that after all the DLC that they put, become a descent game to play, that I play if I was playing a Hitman game.

While I enjoyed this remake as a visual spectacle and somewhat interesting retelling of the classic story we all love I doubt this title has the replayability of the classic Mafia. It truly felt like a simulation of life (albiet a little dated) in that period and the remake doesn't embrace the minor details in the world that flourished in the original. Truly my biggest gripe was the lack of Lucas Bertone's missions. They felt oddly calm after the often tough missions Tommy completes throughout his day to day and the reward of higher performing vehicles made them all the better. I do commend the team for the work they've done. The actors especially have done amazing work bringing new character to their roles. Gameplay mechanic changes that ultimately streamline and turn this open world into a corridor killed immersion for me entirely however. In a world where remakes often offer disapointing results I was pleasantly surprised with the care put into this title.

I think I can find the perfect areas where the original was better and the remake was better. Take a look at the ending. The original's end speech is so much more impactful, and much better encompasses all the themes that were going on in the game. And it's more somber and reflectful, even mature. Now, I do think the remake speech does have some sense of merit in it (if you do listen to the dialog throughout the game, they do constantly refer to themselves as "the family", so when he says "family is forever" there is room to believe that it's a double meaning). But the end speech of the original hits you more with an actual thought of contemplation of the journey you've experienced with Tommy. It really does sound like a genuine self reflection of where he's come from, where he's been, what he's experienced, the shit he's done, and really re-examining where his real values lie. Not just "FaMiLy". However, the remake's handling of Tommy's death was so much better. In the original, Tommy dies a scared old man, alone on his lawn as his VA admittedly kinda just brambles on. But in the remake, the direction is so well set up. When Tommy's last name gets called out, the expressions in face an body are so well done. The look of dread on Tommy's face, how he just drops the hose, his slow turn, and his affirmative "Yes." And his final look staring down the barrel isn't one of fear or anxiety; it's a look of accepted fate. Coupled with the fact that his last dying words to his family are that they're safe now, and you have a Hell of an emotional ending. A level of emotion that the original lacks.

I love both versions. I liked the attempt to make the experience as close to reality as they could in the original game, but I also like the more personal feel of the characters in the remake and the modern game mechanics of it. In the first game, the lines the characters had were more stiff in my opinion (especially those concerning Sarah) whereas in the remake I felt more for the characters.

Hi minimme, really great video and i was really looking forward to it. As a superfan of the mafia series (having played mafia 1 twice, mafia 2 7 or 8 times and mafia 3 three times) i wanted to say that I agree with a lot of what you had to say about the remake. I've completed the remake twice and loved every moment of it. When you say that the set pieces have become more hollywood escque I think that's what the devs were aiming for because they wanted to bring life and energy with a flair of drama into this remake, i also think you need to consider the fact that this game was made in less than two years so its quite incredible to have gotten a product like that in such short time without it being leaked. Finally i believe the final lines Tommy says in the remake actually suit the character more because in the original mafia i thought it came off as possibly too philosophical for a random person like Tommy and now that he was more focused on family and the brilliant voice performance from his actor really elevates the emotion in the final scene where no matter how much money he earned in the mob it will never amount to being able to walk his daughter down the aisle. I could write more but I'd rather you actually be able to read most of this lol and i don't want to see this as a criticism, it's just the game series means quite a lot to me personally and I think even if mechanically the games could improve, visually they are breathtaking and they have incredible stories to tell. Thanks in advance if you do read this and keep up making excellent videos like this. :)

This was pretty well summarized! I absolutely adore the original and it is one of my all time favorite games precisely because of the immersion and simulation. This was what made Mafia II one of my biggest disappointments of all time, because it just dropped all of that wonderful immersion and made a very generic gangster story for me (though I'd probably be kinder to it today). So, I went in to the remake sort of adjusting my expectations. The first thing was to accept that THIS was going to be a modern game and what I should expect from that. I knew that they had to make it modern and more accessible, but overall, I really did enjoy it. It was Mafia for the modern age and I think they did a pretty solid job of updating it to modern sensibilities, while still keeping much of the core. The driving was great and I though the combat on Classic, while modern, still delivered much more of the high stakes I felt in the old Mafia and I really loved seeing health packs coming back. I did miss a lot of the old music - but could accept the licensed tracks being switched to avoid anachronism, but I loved so much of the classic themes I'd love to have heard some more of them return. But with that said this game was essentially a spot on 4/5 and a really solid game. Once I accepted it for what it was I really came to like it and I highly recommend it.

As for the ending, it feels a lot like Don Corleone's death in the book vs. film debate.

Going off of the original game being more realistic than the remake, it bugs me that they remade Tommy's death scene to be a cliched "guy gives emotional speech as he dies" thing, when the original game just has him die instantly like what would probably happen in real life if someone blasted you with a shotgun and pointblank range. The realistic death in the 2002 game really emphasised the brutality of the Mafia, whereas this remake just comes off as cheesy and hackneyed.

I mean, let's not pretend the first Mafia was some underrated artistic masterpiece either. It had its own share of cheese, jank and hack. Remake just took its own (albeit a bit more modern) spin on it, which doesn't make it any lesser nor is it supposed to replace the original. I actually quite enjoyed this version of Tommy's death and the addition of his family being around for his last moments was pretty touching IMHO. So what if it's not "realistic"? This game is after all a dramaticized version of the Mafia life, for the gamer crowd. If I wanted some deep philosophical themes pertaining to organized crime, I'd go read some Mario Puzo, instead of shooting up half of the Lost Heaven both in Mafia 1 and the Remake. :)

I suppose in a way the clichè characterization of Tommy and the rest of the cast somewhat justifies their actions in game. GTAIV had that issue where Niko would talk about being done with killing people, then you can go out and run over 20 pedestrians. However, in my opinion, the original cast was much more believable. I felt for Tommy every cutscene, his voice always sounded so sincere and it was the fact that he didn’t seem to fit in that made it more realistic to me. An “every” man who found himself down the wrong path. Paulie, who looks and sounds like a brute is actually a humble and a good friend, showing that these characters were more than your simple wiseguys. Salieri, a father figure type whom you genuinely cared about in a way, causing a bigger shock for you, the player, during the ending events. There was just much more charm in the original whilst this one was dumbed down to appeal to everyone. I can see why they went this route, and it’s a good game for anyone who has not played the OG. But as far as performance, tone, and in some ways, gameplay, I tip my hat for the original.

what you're talking about how the Gameplay Story and Cutscene Story going in completely different directions is actually done by design, it's not a design. the writers call it Ludonarrative Dissonance, you can read about it and what it means if you're interested. and yes the original Tommy felt more relatable because he sounded more human and more impacted by what's happening to him while the Remake Tommy sounds like he fit the role perfectly and loves that life. this comment is exactly what I think, the Remake is amazing for people who have not played the Original but people who have played the original know that they were far more ambitious and they tried to make a Masterpiece/Art(and succeeded in doing so)while the Remake just is about doing a decent remake and make money. the only part of the Remake I felt a noticeable advancement/improvement is the Driving and Car Chases which feel incredibly Cinematic and intense.

I think as innovative Mafia OG was and the gameplay systems more complex, DE is just a lot better when it comes to pacing, writing, voice acting and how the world and its inhabitants get presented (Even Ralphie and Vincenzo get more fleshed out, just visit them even when you don't have to). Which is why I disagree with your verdict; it is exactly because it is more believable that it's fun and immersive to play, because the characters are more complex- humanized or presented as rotten criminals exactly when they need to be. Here, thanks to Sarah I had a reason to care for the human side of Tommy. In OG, there was no motivation and not a great deal spent on the narrative dissonance, everything was voiced too neutrally. You should really play both games back to back to see how empty Mafia OG is in those respects in comparison, even if, again, it has more complex systems and was innovative for its time. Which is why my take is this: Play OG for the simulation systems and the ambitious gameplay. Play DE for the world, story and characters :)

This is why I liked the lack of Sarah in the original, he wouldn't tell Norman about her much, because she isn't part of grassing up Salieri. DE tries to give her more screen time, but what it does give her, meaningless....More Sarah is not necessary. Same with the flat "expanded" Paulie and Sam relationship...yeah it's fine, but too jokey so doesn't really count...we know friends joke, but they usually do more than that. They only save each others lives because the original did it, not because they expanded them. Because they didn't much. All they really gave them were some car ride lines and maybe a bit of extra screen time....some expansion. The expansion seemed halfway, it was out of place. Didn't mind much the lack of it in the original, I know how friends work and he wouldn't tell Norman that much. Plus no real point in expanding them, if they were doing it for new new personalities, they are not the same guys from the original, the original personalities are not getting their expansion in any form. I'm a little conflicted on it, but would have taken the original script just done better. Also, they mention Morello far too much...in the original it was only when needed, but man, in every cutscene, every mission...gets old. Ironically, in Great Deal the original game cuts out the commute, but in DE you have to do it. Both games are a bit odd in what Tommy tells to Norman. The killing Tommy makes more sense for the both of them when you don't kill innocent people, like just driving around them, not shooting and so on...still iffy though. I also thought some of dialogue in DE was a bit too expository, like, we get it sort of thing. All games have that, but I can do without the car conversations. I preferred the originals monologue better. Family is forever is trying to be deeper than it is...yeah we get it, the mob came for him...I do like DE though, as a game it is still fun.

about that episode in docks - yep, if you play on a console, it turns out to be a simplified "videogamy" experience, while the PC version turns every shoot-out into a goddamn nightmare.

And when you think of it, it turns out like a good gameplay feature that adds the sense of immersion... until someone reminds you that it was made by hangar13, those cocksuckers who made a gta-alike rambo remake instead of Mafia III (no, seriously - in one of dlc's you have to save the world from a terrorist with a stolen nuke! and it is called 'mafia'!), those guys who don't know how to deal with a mouse controllers, looks like the only thing they've ever took in their hands was a dualshock. Ehm, what am I about... so - on a PC mafia remake feels better, feels more immersive. But it's not a feature, it's simply a luck for cocksuckers from hangar13

I never played the original, but I had heard amazing things. I got the remake really cheap in a Humble Bundle, and I'm glad for that because it was a greatly underwhelming experience, which seems to have been a hollowed-out version of what the original was. Here's my summery review I left on Steam: It's fine. Much like all the Mafia series, it's a fun bit of immersion jumping into this period setting, but the game world is devoid of life beyond the main story. Also while I appreciate the 'simulation' style driving physics, and the features like gas or attracting police attention if you don't follow the speed limit, these are details which certainly add to the experience in a small way, but don't really feel impactful (sure, *in theory* you can run out of gas, but you're never in the one car long enough for it to mean anything). The shooting doesn't feel like it has much weight to it. Never really felt like satisfying gunplay. Massively underwhelming, anti-climactic ending, wherein I completed the final level not realising it was the final level. Defeat the final 'boss'. Cutscene. More cutscenes. The ending is just cutscenes. Your character is going to help takedown the crime family? The cutscene is basically: he does that, the end. Cut to me going, "oh... I guess that's it then, that's the game?" Like I said. It's fine. Brain-dead, and nothing really special, but it's fine. *not recommending because I didn't feel enriched having played it, I could've spent that time on something else which wouldn't have left me with a sour taste of "oh, that's all that was then".

Honestly I love the new one much more. In Classic difficulty it has all the best realistic-y things that were cool in the original, and does away with all the bad things. I would only add some extra freedom for getting around, and I would totally change that farm chase scene. Besides that, everything is much much better. Hangar 13 proved its worth.

I do think you are nitpicking, like a lot. As someone who loved the original game, I think they did a marvellous job with this remake. There are some issues, like audio disappearing and weird glitches, but overall this is one of the best budget titles I’ve ever played. The voice acting, the graphics, the gameplay etc are all a massive step up because of the nearly two decades of advancement. The ending feels more real, akin to the movie like quality the original Devs were planning to go with.

Idk but I did enjoy the ending to the remake more. It worked better to being the antithesis of Vito's story. Tommy got out, however brief and Remake Tommy appreciates every moment he got while he was. Have him not being surprised when two people randomly come up to him using his real name and him knowing this is the end fits better.
