When Mafia 3 developer Hangar 13 decided to revisit the series' roots, the studio obviously concluded that too much had changed to simply pretty-up and re-release the original - so they just started from scratch. The console version of Mafia released on PS2 and Xbox around the same time as Grand Theft Auto San Andreas - a different era for the open-world crime game.
This isn't new news, but having now played the game the extent of what this means is blazingly clear. You see, this is a full-blown remake of Mafia. It's got more in common with, say, the lavishly expensive Final Fantasy 7 Remake than it does the Definitive Editions of Mafia 2 and 3, both of which are basically the original releases with a moderately fresh coat of paint slapped on top. Despite the name, this is for all intents and purposes a new game. but Mafia Definitive Edition isn't in line with those trends.
Definitive Editions, Game of the Year Editions, HD Remasters. We see a lot of definitive re-release type things in the world of video games. It's a shame it has one of the worst game names of the year. Mafia: Definitive Edition is shaping up to be something pretty special.
