Hangar 13 is mostly 2k Czech, however this was unexpected. But since Mafia 1 sold over the years 1 mil copies in 10 mil country, it's probably commercialy viable to do that.

Just started playing this (on a Pro - and never played the original so nothing to compare to) and having fun so far after some four hours. The controls feel a bit clunky, obviously they haven't been modernized much, and is it just me, but both L3 (run) and R3 (crouch) trigger way too easily twice? So you're running and then not running, or crouching and getting right back up. A minor complaint but annoying.
But once you get out of the city, the pop-in with the vegetation is bad. Like really bad. Doesn't ruin the game, but looks quite nasty in an otherwise quite pleasing looking game. Apparently the devs are aware of this and are trying to patch it, but currently it's "ewww".
Oh, a side note. Has there ever been a mafia book/movie/tv-series/game/whatnot that didn't have a character called "Paulie" in them? Seriously, can't think of any.

Remake looks great. When you turn the camera do you feel anything not normal? There’s something wrong that I can’t tell what exactlyFew shots, max details

In cars it's weird, on foot I would say it's normal. Also shooting "aim down the sight" posture is really weird, at least with pistols, not sure what's with that.

Still thinking about it. I hate to say it, but I have never played the original. I did play Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 (somewhat) and ended up really liking Mafia 2. The Definitive Edition of Mafia 2 is somehow more terrible than the original, which is why I'm not too sure about getting this one, yet. Need to see some proper PC gameplay.

Made it up to Chapter 6. Won the race on my second try (playing on Normal)
Hangar 13 is so good at rural countryside design. The middle of nowhere areas in Mafia 3 (specifically the Faster Baby DLC) were really well done too

Anybody playing on Xbox One X? If so, how's it running? That's what I decided to get it on.
That looks awesome. Absolutely sucks this is not getting a release in the US. I had to order from Amazon UK (just shipped out last night) so it'll be a few days until I get mine.

git gudRacing mission still sucks in the remake
Countryside is actually done poorly in this game - no pedestrians, very low on traffic, not too many scenic locations, many buildings are inaccessible or empty and ugly looking.

This actually fixed my issue. No I don't feel that the game is heavy when turning the camera anymore!
Didn't they learn from Mafia 3? Same issue again...

Well I think it looks fantastic so far
It’s the fucking countryside. It should be low on traffic.

Game's graphics are stunning. The lighting in particular is very very good.
Seeing as how money is tighter than normal, I think I"m gonna wait on a sale, but I think overall the game looks really good. Especially if you are a fan of the first or of the series and I'm both. The game finally looks as good as those stunning CGI movie previews for Mafia 2.
Have you ever driven through actual countryside parts before? It's exactly as you describe.

This is what I thought too with the first stop at the Church, because that looked like the Mafia 2 trailer.

It bugs me too, but...free ride, and I do love this car from M2 and wanted to see how it drives.
There is even the muscle car from M3, hilariously out of place.
Anyway, here is me doing the race on classic and simulation difficulty

I'm far from the "git gud" crowd. As a matter of fact, never got into the Soulsborne genre - I get the point, but it just doesn't appeal to me. I do like me some brutally unfair platformers though, so it's not the difficulty, just never clicked with me.
...having said that, second try? On normal? Which is what I'm playing at currently, but have you like ever played Mario Kart? That race was so easy I couldn't figure why I was given a silver trophy for winning it.
(or perhaps I've just "got gud" at Mario Kart)

Good catch my dude. Want to buy it but I waited for steam reviews and more thoughts here about it before I dived it. Besides this issue, how does it run?

I avoid the “git gud” bs too, and I’m a light Souls fan. I’m actually kinda mediocre at racing games and was dreading the mission because of its notorious history. I knew I’d blow it at that first run because I needed to get acclimated to the track and the control of the car. Nailed it on that second one though and it was pretty fun.
Don’t forget to take Paulie to the whorehouse instead of taking him home after you win

Yes, but it's a video game, if it's a (pretty large) part of the map it should be an area I would want to visit and explore. There aren't any interesting locations there other than two places you visit during main missions and even the view from the dam is underwhelming.
I should mention I don't have any complaints with the city, I really enjoy (re)exploring it, even the less populated districts like Beech Hill.

What would you have preferred to see in the country? I guess there could be some interesting things they could add.

I haven't done it myself yet but people on the Discord made mention of the shortcut today - so I imagine it is.

How about some unique locations like (other) motels, inns, cool viewpoints, hiking trails etc. The majority of the locations in north county are single small buildings and the ones which are accessible are completely empty inside. It's like no one's even tried to make them interesting.
I know that the original game had a similar issue, but it was a good opportunity to make the whole map interesting, not just the city part.

This series has never ever been about sightseeing lol. The city and countryside is just a backdrop to the narrative and characters. That’s it.
I don’t play a Mafia game and think to myself “Oh man, can’t wait to EXPLORE”. That’s not what these games are whatsoever.

I actually passed on that, but will give it another go if I'll do this again on a harder level (which, by the looks of it, I will be doing)Don’t forget to take Paulie to the whorehouse instead of taking him home after you win

This was a hard lesson I learned with Mafia 2. Once I learned it, I started to appreciate what the game was doing. But until then, I was so annoyed with the awesome setting of Mafia 2.

Well you do have to explore pretty much every spot on the map if you're going for the collectibles and Mafia 1 Remake has A LOT of them.
And that's when it starts to show that the countryside is full of "cardboard areas" which look fugly and uninspiring at close glance.Again, I don't have the same problem with the city. Even if I'm visiting a location I would never go to during the main storyline it still feels like I'm in a highly detailed world. That feeling disappears soon after leaving city limits.

Fuck the collectibles. There’s way too many of them and they aren’t Playboys.

Picked it up for 33.00 on Greenmangaming. Really impressed by graphics and overall gameplay. Never played the original. Top notch all around, minus some minor glitches occassionally.
