A few hours ago, we informed you about the first screenshots for the Mafia Definitive Edition. And it appears that Microsoft has also leaked the first screenshots for Mafia 2 Definitive Edition.
Mafia Definitive Edition is basically a remake that will be using the Mafia 3 Engine, and looks absolutely gorgeous. On the other hand, Mafia 2 Definitive Edition seems more like a remaster of the original version. Therefore, don’t expect the same graphical quality between these two games. I also find it ironic that the first game will look better than the second.
Moreover, we don’t know whether this new Definitive Edition will feature those lovely PhysX effects that were present in the PC version of Mafia 2. If it doesn’t, the PC version of Mafia 2 Definitive Edition will be a mixed bag. And, if that’s indeed the case, we’d suggest playing the original version of Mafia 2 with some graphical mods. Through in there Reshade and you can make the original version look as good – or even better – than this remaster.
But anyway, 2K Games will reveal more details about Mafia: Trilogy on May 19th. According to the Windows Store pages, Mafia 2 Definitive Edition will be coming first on May 19th. Then, in August 2020, 2K Games will release the Mafia Remake/Definitive Edition.
Since Mafia 2 Definitive Edition is just a remaster, it makes sense to release it first. After all, the full remake of the first Mafia game may still require some extra work.
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!

If this does not have Physx (and improve on the effects) it is complete trash.
And let’s be honest, it probably won’t
It looks like PC already got the Remastered version back then in the original release.
Oh wow…is like night and day!!, such an improvement!
What? WTF are you reading?
Basically the only difference is the resolution scale in-game, try taking that same screenshot on the PC version.
looks like they remade 1 and just remastered 2 and 3.
It says in the article that Mafia 1 is using the Mafia 3 engine, while Mafia 2 is a remaster.
thanks, i will try to live my life in a different way now.
Doesn’t look like a remaster to me.
Oh wow…is like night and day!! /s
I have the game installed on my pc and no it does not look like a remaster. The screenshots they released for Mafia 1 look like a remaster. The Mafia 2 screenshots do not. You can still see the low poly counts especially on the vehicles which is non existent on the Mafia 1 screenshots. As far as I am concerned, this nothing more than a minor graphics update being labeled as a remaster. You can get the same results with Reshade.

It’s virtually exactly the same.
Sharpness filter to 11 and probably no Physx, pass
Stay to OG version, add fan mod that improves visuals and lighting and your good to go.
those mods are garbage
they still found a way to tarnish this amazing announcement
it is infuriating
This looks exactly/maybe inferior to the PC version…and most definitely significant downgrade when factoring in the mods like ‘Old Time Reality’.
why you why ?
what are you ?
are you high or just incredibly stupid ?
>trusting Steam screenshots…
The 2000s called, they said you need to go back
not that improvement from original looks like contrast added & some color filter, but anyway good news hope we can get the cut features restore on remaster version
Mafia 1 using the Mafia 3 engine better not mean that it inherits the god awful mechanics like knife warping into enemies from Mafia 3.
Not impressed, I got better results using some 10mb MODs.
It would be easier to compare with direct image comparison………
“ultra setting”, is that you?
Lmao this is what the Original looks like.
