Is it worth playing the first Mafia? The remaster/remake version, I mean.I loved all of them with the first being the most impactful.

Oh heck yes!Is it worth playing the first Mafia? The remake version, I mean.
100% yes.
Thank you. I won't be able to go back to the OG one, but I expect the definitive remaster version is tolerable.I despise old games, but if you have good tolerance then go for it.
Will it have flaying and dismemberment mechanics?I haven't played any of the Mafia games so longtime fans can write-off my opinion, but after three games maybe they should transition away from old timey mafia tropes and introduce gamers to the new drug kingpins...cartels. Yeah, there's no fancy suits, tommy guns, or Italian accents, but cartels are all the rage nowadays in the entertainment medium and they are in essence the modern iteration of the mafia. Just my two cents.
Of course, but first a minigame where the player character has to learn Spanish and infiltrate the cartel.Will it have flaying and dismemberment mechanics?

What was gutted from the original? I never read up on it.that removes near everything that was special about the original
But the original has so many unique quirks and features, id be a shame to miss
Oh, its the general gameplay. The recent one is a remake, its not a remaster. Meaning, they made a new game from scratch and called it Mafia. The story, the voice actors, cinematics, levels, gameplay - everything is different and the game is more of a cover shooter where you battle waves of dumb enemies.What was gutted from the original?

The original is tough as nails and has all sorts of little things that add up into something special. For example, if you have a revolver with 6 bullets; you fire 2 and then reload, you drop the other 4 on the ground and lose them. Same with every weapon. If you stand straight and want to shoot, the first click lifts your arm into a firing position and the second click fires. But if you crouch, then he automatically aims and the first click fires. If you get shot at close range with a shotgun, the kick of the weapon can send you tumbling down. The firefights are intense as fuck because hits do a lot of damage and you have maybe one healthkit hidden somewhere in a level usually. And you're not magnetising in some cover, you're actually moving and trying to cover yourself, old school way.
Cars control fairly realistically, meaning the low end cars you get at first accelerate slower, handle a bit rough. Then as you progress you get better and better cars. This is all missing in the remake, they supposedly wanted to remove that initial "frustrating" feeling where the shittiest car from 1910 doesnt shoot from 0 to 100 in 3 seconds. The remake pretty much removes every detail that made the original game special and made a banal cover shooter where you magnetise in a cover and pop and shoot simplistic enemies. And the voice actors for the main characters, christ almighty, the most gigantic downgrade from the original. Especially the main character, he sounds a bit retarded in the remake.
I cant vouch that you'll love the 2002 one, i dont know how well you tolerate older games. But i would try it and stick to it until at least mission 8. Out of 20. To give it all the chances and see if it clicks. If not, the remake is always here
What he says is true. Although the thing with the ammo still exists on classic difficulty in the remake.Thank for the writeup, I will have to check out the OG on Steam.

Man I really really wish Sony can put this game on PS+ Premium.
I think it's on PSNow already. Unless it has been removed.
Glad these are still going. It’s nice to have games like this that don’t revolve around fantasy or science fiction.
