20 years later: How the graphics in Mafia: Definitive Edition have changed relative to the original

Polish portal GRYOnline.pl published a comparison of the first screenshots of a remake announced on Wednesday Mafia: Definitive Edition with similar shots from the original 2002 game. Using five scenes as an example, the journalists tried to clearly demonstrate how much the cult criminal action has changed in terms of graphics and game design almost 20 years after its release.

The first image is taken from the second part of the mission. “Bon Appetite!”when Tommy and Salieri appear in Pepe’s restaurant, where they are attacked. As you can see, the situation inside the institution significantly added to the details.

Next, the scene from the assignment “Clean to discharge“. Apparently, the authors will allow players to drive the same truck that had to be driven in the original, however, its loading this time will occur not in the warehouse, but in the port. It is also worth paying attention to the changed time of day: in the old “Mafia” the mission was unfolding during the so-called “golden hour”, when the sun went into the sunset, while in the remake, events occur after dark.

Following is a moment with the mission chaseSociety Cream“where Tommy and Sam chase Morello walking away from them on the Silver Fletcher. In addition to improved car models, attention immediately falls on increased traffic and much more detailed building facades.

The fourth screenshot shows the interior of Vincenzo’s workshop, where the protagonist stocks up with weapons before setting off on missions.

And finally, the last frame. Here we look at the beginning of the mission “Omerta“in which Tommy has to find Frank and take the mafia’s books from him.

Another comparison of the two games, but already in the video format:
