Love that they rerecorded the score, I'm sensing a lot of love went into this... Can't wait, a month to go!

Where is the specular on characters? Hope somebody can fix this post-release, lol.

 

Other than that looks like a solid remake, looking forward to this.

Yeah I haven’t looked at whatever they’ve been releasing, other than the first trailer and that mission playthrough.

Mafia is just one of my fav games ever, I never replayed it cos I was worried about ruining the good memory of it. This might be the time I actually revisit it.

Also Mafia 2 for being old was running quite rubbish on my pc and was also the reason I didn’t continue it after the first session.

Mafia looks great, but the people seem pretty stiff, in particular while running there’s no incline when the character turns an angle… hopefully is just the preview?

Nah dude, this is what you're getting.

Character anim blending is one of the hardest things to do in game engines.  it's not that bad, deffo seen worse.

'deffo seen worse' is not the highest bar to reach tho lol.

Some of the pedestrian anim blending is no better than Mafia 1, definitely room for improvement.

Yeah but we’ve seen better from same level productions… oh well

i like what they show in this video, in particular the ability to punch someone and then shoot them in the face. Wish someone would bring back the idea of deep hand to hand combat the developers of The Godfather game attempted (as well as Indiana Jones in that infamous demo). Even something somewhat simplified but with deep control, like Fight Night 4, directing your swings with the actual stick was something else.

alright, now I got plans for the weekend

[-HP-]

Put around 2 or 3 hours in tonight.

Exactly what was mentioned, characters render and animation tech could be better. But everything else is spot on.

The game sounds and looks great, driving feels awesome. But where this game really shines, just like the original, is in the story and the missions.
