People would speak of it in hushed tones, and much like my beloved Morrowind they would say that it's actually quite a rough game, but if you look past that you'll get one of the best experiences in gaming. Thankfully with the 2020 release of the Mafia Definitive Edition, those rough edges have been sanded off, allowing the good stuff to shine. Following the reveal of the fourth title in the series, a massive sale is bringing people to the 1930s to enjoy this near perfect slice of Mafia life. Read the rest of the story...

Set during the 1930s in a fictional Illinois city, Mafia took a more focused approach to the kind of crime sagas offered by Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row, zooming in on a specific time period and following the rise and fall of its protagonist with a more intimate focus than is typical in the genre. Now, anyone who hasn't played Mafia before has a great opportunity to do so. Its remade and much improved Definitive Edition is currently discounted by 75% on Steam. Read the rest of the story...

The original Mafia, released in 2002, was an early GTA competitor and many would say the best by a country mile: set in Illinois in the 1930s, the game followed the story of Tommy Angelo as he rose through the ranks of the Salieri mafia family...

In 1912 the Titanic was the biggest passenger ship ever built and, as I'm guessing you're aware, it sank on its first voyage from England to New York. There was a pretty major movie about it in 1997 (but there was a far better movie about it in 1958)...

The mod replicates the entirety of the doomed HMS Titanic in the original Mafia, complete with missions based around Salieri's gang. The catchily-titled Mafia Titanic Mod has been in development since 2006 and is finally available for release, and it's not even quite completed yet. Part one's storyline basically goes as far as boarding the infamous ocean liner, but does contain a full sandbox where players can explore the Titanic at will. The ship's interior is not yet complete, and most importantly - the actual sinking has not yet been implemented. So, this is the less-doomed version of the Titanic. Lead developer Robin Bongaarts estimates that the final mod will encompass four parts to tell the whole story. Nevertheless, part one is available to download now and it's already very impressive, boasting a sizeable portion of the "meticulously recreated and highly populated" ship to explore.

Emma reported on the mod in July, speaking with lead developer and maritime engineer from the Netherlands, Robin Bongaarts. Bongaarts has been working on the project since September 2006, and finally now a portion of it has been released. It's worth noting part one does not include the sinking of the Titanic. This is planned for a later release. Nor does it include a fully-fleshed out storyline, or the full interior of the ship itself.

The publisher has posted its general presentation slides following its Q1 earnings call for FY2022, revealing some details on what's in the ol' pipeline. Take-Two has three "new iterations of previously released titles" in the works, though the publisher does note that it's merely a snapshot of how things stand, meaning delays can happen (thanks, VGC). Details are currently thin on the ground, though CEO Strauss Zelnick has spoken about ports before. Zelnick explained during the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, & Telecom Conference earlier thesis year that remasters have always been part of the plan, though the publisher doesn't just "port titles over". "I'm not sure there'll be a bigger part of the strategy," he said. "Remastering has always been a part of the strategy. We've done differently than the competition - we don't just port titles over, we actually take the time to do the very best job we can making the title different for the new release, for the new technology that we're launching it on.

As ever... there's a mod for that. The Titanic Mod for Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven aims to do exactly what it says on the tin, which is to put the RMS Titanic in Mafia. This isn't just any old 3D model seen from a distance, however - the mod team is trying to make "one of the most detailed and accurate free 3D recreations of the Titanic ever made". Players will be able to explore the ship in freeroam mode, and the work done so far really does look stunning: On top of all that, the mod even comes with its own storyline. It promises fully voice-acted missions, complete with cutscenes and a new soundtrack. Read more Mafia: Definitive Edition Out NowSep 29, 2020 - Community AnnouncementsSome 18 years after the critically acclaimed Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven first invited players to live the life of a gangster during the Prohibition Era, we're excited to announce that Mafia: Definitive Edition—a complete remake of the original game—is now available. The centerpiece of the Mafia: Trilogy bundle, Mafia: Definitive Edition tells the story of Tommy Angelo, a Lost Heaven cab driver who becomes enamored with a life in organized crime after an opportune brush with the Italian Mafia. It's the same enthralling story you might remember from the 2002 game, but fully remade from the ground-up and expanded, with beautiful presentation including stunning new visuals and an original orchestral score. The missions you take on after joining the ranks of a crime family at war are faithful to those that Tommy first tackled in 2002, but play quite differently courtesy of reworked vehicle handling, enhanced melee combat, a new cover system, the introduction of motorcycles, and a host of other improvements. Mafia: Definitive Edition is more accessible than the original game by design, but there are difficulty settings to suit newcomers and experienced mafiosos alike, including the most challenging Classic Difficulty setting, which incorporates a number of old-school Mafia features. In another nod to Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, Mafia: Definitive Edition also includes a Free Ride mode that lets you explore the map and search for hidden collectibles and secrets at your own pace. Mafia: Definitive Edition has been a labor of love for Hangar 13 and will continue to be even now that the game has launched. We've been paying close attention to your feedback, and we're planning to update the game with additional HUD customization options and some other cool stuff in the coming weeks. Check back for more details soon. Whether this will be your first time experiencing Tommy Angelo's story or your fiftieth, we hope you enjoy your time with Mafia: Definitive Edition and we're excited to hear about your adventures in and around Lost Heaven.Mafia: Definitive Edition review - streets ain't what they used to beSep 24, 2020 - PCGamesN'Definitive Edition' is a curious, fluid term. It's been applied to everything from a game bundled with DLC, a slap of fresh paint, and a handful of tweaks, to a "built-from-the-ground-up" overhaul - like Mafia: Definitive Edition. It's a remake, effectively, and it walks the same tightrope: how do you preserve the spirit of an 18-year-old title in a modern gaming experience? At what point is a game's DNA so altered that it becomes a new thing entirely? Mafia: DE not only walks that rope with barely a wobble, it nails a few pirouettes along the way. It's clear we're on 2002 Mafia's turf from the get-go. The same orchestral theme greets me like an old amica and the scene's set with protagonist Tommy Angelo making jaded cop Detective Norman an offer he can't refuse. The diner booth, the exchange of verbal ripostes - heck! - right down to the cup o' Joe - it's the same but just... better. Well-written and acted. Graphically gorgeous. In the cinematics, at least - of which there are a lot - Mafia: DE is almost wholly faithful to the original. There's a nice touch early on with a near frame-for-frame replica of an original cutscene. Read the rest of the story...

The brand-new clip, titled 'A life of reward too big to ignore', gives us our second glimpse into the world of taxi-driver-turned-gangster Tommy Angelo, and the dynamics of the Salieri faction. It hinges on one key thing, which the family's head honcho drums into the aspiring baddie: loyalty. As you can see below, the new trailer opens with a rainy night in the crime game's fictional city, Lost Heaven, and a meeting over coffee between Salieri faction members. "All these guys, in this room - they're here because they have the only thing that matters to me. The only thing that should matter to any of us," Don Salieri, its head, states ominously. "You know what that is, Tommy?" "They're loyal," the up-and-coming gangster responds. Shudder. We then get a good eyeball of the upcoming PC game's "built-from-the-ground-up" aspects - busy city streets, with old yellow cabs, Tommy's encounters with many of Lost Heaven's tricky customers, and some tommy gun-filled gunfights - all with those shiny all-new visuals.

Mafia: Definitive Edition will essentially have the bones and blueprint of the original, but will feature all-new technology, voice acting, game mechanics, and more, transforming it into a modern experience on par with the latest title in the series, Mafia III. Since the action-adventure game's announcement earlier this year, developer Hangar 13 and publisher 2K have shared brief glimpses of the remake, including a trailer that (re)introduces us to its star, cabbie-turned-mafioso Tommy Angelo, and a clip teasing ten seconds of Mafia: Definitive Edition gameplay. Now, 2K's unveiled a generous 12-minute chunk of gameplay for us to check out ahead of the game's launch in September, which you can see embedded below - but there's still plenty more to ascertain about what the remake will bring. To find out more about how and why the remake came to be, how Hangar 13 is striking the balance between the old and the new, and why Tommy Angelo's journey from happy-go-lucky cab driver to a made man who's kind of in over his head is worth revisiting, we spoke to Devin Hitch, lead producer at Hangar 13.
