Everything is denser and more detailed, just as you’d expect. There’s simply more happening in the remake. It’s the supplemental stuff that accomplishes this. However, it’s not the tweaks that go the furthest toward defining the remake. It’s a dash of go-getterness that really adds to character development. For instance, the original has Don Salieri instruct protagonist Tommy Angelo to take revenge on the goons who smashed up his taxi cab the remake has Tommy ask the Don if he can go after them. The story beats are broadly the same too, but not entirely.
A lot of the cinematography is the same, as cut scenes are directed more-or-less identically. However, after checking out the remake, I compared it to this no-commentary playthrough of the 2002 game:įrom what I’ve seen so far, I love the way Hangar 13 has put modern touches on Mafia while paying respects to the original. This is the part where I’m obligated to tell you that I haven’t actually played the original Mafia. This might be - hopefully, god willing - the Mafia game I’ve wanted all along. It covered the first five chapters and then the tenth chapter. I’ve spent approximately three hours with a preview build of the Mafia remake on PC. Mafia III spun a really unique yarn about an empowered black man in the 1960s deep south, but it was egregiously padded out with hours and hours’ worth of repetitive missions. Mafia II is a tightly-controlled and compelling story, but the stuff that makes it a video game is marred by carrying out menial tasks, shooting that’s basic to the point of being offputting, and so much driving. Unfortunately, modern Mafia games haven’t really nailed that adaption to a video game medium. I’ll never turn down a good mob story, especially in the Goodfellas vein of “up-and-comer turned down-and-outter.” Tales of organized crime and the motif of individual success through family loyalty (and all the ways that can unwind) are ripe material for complex and fascinating narratives.
