Re: Mafia II: Definitive Edition's PS4 Trophy List Is Awfully Familiar

Looking at the video and screenshots on psn this looks more like one of those quickie ps3 to ps4 ports. Disappointing given how great the Mafia 1 remaster looks but Mafia 2 is still a great game anyway. Definitely recommend it for those that haven't played it. Not sure if I'm going to double dip and buy the trilogy though. I already own 3 with the season pass and played 2 last gen. Might just pick up the Mafia 1 remaster when it goes on sale.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is that I already own Skylines. I've almost bought Farming Sim on sale a couple of times so this is a nice way to try it out with no risk. Hopefully they put the dlc on sale too.

In a way I think they misstepped here but only in the sense that they chose two games in pretty niche genres in the same month. They probably should have spread them out.

Tbh though, last month we got Uncharted 4 and DIRT 2 and they gave away the Uncharted collection to everyone. Now people are getting two well received games but they're not blockbusters so they're whinging. Pretty sad.

I was looking forward to this but after having played the beta/demo I'm not sold. The cars just handle weirdly. It feels like they weigh nothing. There's no sense of inertia so even when you do a really long drift it doesn't feel satisfying. Honestly, with the physics they use for the cars it would make more sense for the game to be a Wipe0ut style hover car racer.

Also, there's a lot of stunt sections and jumps but they don't feel exciting or visceral. There's no feeling of a big "thunk" when you hit the ground after a big jump or any sense that you have to keep a lightning pace while doing a loop to loop lest you fall of the face of the track.

If you're a time trials nut and really love to keep going for a best time the game might be of interest but for those who want what the game looks like at a glance you might be disappointed.
