Mafia 3 has just been released and even though the PC patch that unlocks the game’s framerate is not out yet, you can find below a set of 4K screenshots from it.
Unfortunately, Mafia 3 does not look particularly well, even in 4K and with max settings. The game looks really blurry (this happens with both low and high AA options, so perhaps it’s due to Chromatic Aberration or another filter that is enabled).
We noticed a lot of pop-in issues, reflections seemed to bug every now and then, the game’s UI does not support 4K resolutions (as a result of that, the text is really small), the textures are of a really low-quality and the streets feel somehow empty.
Even for an open-world title, Mafia 3 does not look great and does not come anywhere to Grand Theft Auto V.
But anyway, you can download the uncompressed 4K images from here.
Enjoy!

*Insert Crowbcat video here*
xD
to be fair his gta iv is better than gta v is utter nonsense.
Don’t take his videos seriously.
Also, something something personal preference.
No it’s not. He shows specific differences for a reason.
The title is clickbaity, everyone does it and has to in order to get clicks on videos.
Probably his best vid tbh
Still looks like sh*t.
lol with 1000$ you have the same ps4 version…..
BUT BUT PC IS BETTER1!11111!!!
Yes because that $1000 PC is only used to play only 1 game, am I right.
This Walikor kid is an obvious troll. Just block him and move on.
Whats the fun in that.
Some people need a safe space.
I just ignore those fools. I’d rather chat with sensible folks.
That’s called living in an echo chamber.
quantum break,naruto(all games),batman arkam knight ,mafia 3,dark souls 1,gears of war ultimate edition,marvel ultimate alliance 1 & 2 call of duty black ops 3 and tales of symphonia lol all bad ports…sorry to say but pc gaming suck xD
Instead of mocking the developers for release an utterly garbage PC port, instead you’re insulting the PC community and PC as a platform?
Boi….
or you can have a 400 pc and play a better game.
Say hows mods on console working out for ya? Because last time i checked sony forbid new assets which means all the mods you will get will be a pistol that shoots fatman nukes. Thats it, no cool weapons or armors or voiced quests.
Stupid sony gamers.
This specific game isn’t really any better on PC though.
Not just ugly from a graphics standpoint but also the art direction is terrible. This just might be one of the brownest games ever. They made New Orleans look like a desert when in reality its more of a swamp.
I don’t know man… This game looks like it emerged straight from 2012 visually…
far cry 3 had worse graphics.
Battlefield 3 from 2011 had substantially better graphics.
Really ?
It looks like meehhhhh
Ohhh sorry didnt see it was 4k lol it looks like total trash, cant deny that 2011 game
what? 2011 did not have such graphics aside from bf3.
The WItcher 2, Batman Arkham City, Crysis 2 also came out in 2011.
and yet my argument is valid
next time you criticize ubisoft think of this, not everyone is rockstar games
Looks good enough, atleast at nightime.
Creepy as fu** lol
my favorite part is when they show GTA 15 years ago that is when i started laughing
Why are people hating on the fact that the protagonist is black? I also disliked the idea at first but I didn’t follow the game at all and had believed that you played with a member of the mafia. Once I read that you fight the mafia, it wasn’t a problem at all. Lately with games, black protagonists have become forced for example BF1, Watch Dogs 2, perhaps even Mafia 3 etc. People complain but the reality is we NEED some forcing to occur because ultimately we need to move past the mentality of black protagonist being featured in a game. It should simply be seen as a protagonist and nothing more.
“Lately with games, black protagonists have become forced”
“People complain but the reality is we NEED some forcing to occur because
ultimately we need to move past the mentality of black protagonist
being featured in a game. It should simply be seen as a protagonist and
nothing more.”
I’m confused Sgt. :s
(and for the record, I agree with the last part)
I’m saying that people complain about black protagonists being forced in games and while it’s true, I believe it’s necessary so that we can move past looking at protagonists and saying “Oh it’s a black protagonist” but rather just see him/her as another protagonist.
>it’s necessary
No it’s not.
It’s only “necessary” if the writer feels like he can create an interesting character who fits in and makes sense.
The only way to tell if a character isn’t forced is whether he is well written and fits into the context of the game.
An example of forced diversity would be having black characters in Witcher 3, which is based on 13th century Eastern Europe…and some publications did try to stir up fake controversy regarding the absence of other races in Witcher, gladly I don’t think CDPR even bothered to respond.
True. At the same time, there’s nothing wrong with CDPR saying “We would like to have black characters, as it would add to npc variety and diversity”
Thing is, if they did include coloured characters, everyone would be saying “oh you’re going all sjw now” and that’s equally as silly. It’s the dev’s choice to do it, and as long as they can make it fit reasonably into the game world, it’s fine.
I find that people now are just as eager to accuse devs of being SJW as SJW people are to accuse devs of being sexist and racist.
(and yes, the pieces about Witcher 3 being racist were very silly)
“Why are people hating on the fact that the protagonist is black?”
Your the only one in this comment section bringing that up. tbh the only good thing about this game to me is it’s protagonist and maybe the story. i should watch it on youtube. also i don’t think one of BF1’s black protagonists is forced, can’t say the same about watch dogs’ cool wanna be characters, both 1 & 2.
Amir I know nobody in this comment section has brought it up. My comment was mainly directed towards the gaming community in general because let’s face it, a LOT of people are upset that the protagonist is black.
Well some people are straight up racists and some just don’t like a forced ideology in their games. Olek’s response i guess is the best response for this situations.
Hahaha and somehow, people STILL preorder games.
No.
4K makes no goddamn sense if textures aren’t dense…
“Even for an open-world title, Mafia 3 does not look great and does not come anywhere to Grand Theft Auto V”
hhhhm… how about GTA 3 ? is it bugged or textures are ultra low 720p quality ?
Man this and dues ex was the ONLY game i was looking forward to this year as well :(. Both a horrible mess imo i guess mankind divided isn’t as bad. I guess i should just go back to fallout 4 lol
Massive let down.
Patch is out btw. Though I think in many gamers eyes it’s too late.
Mirror reflections are an understandable problem given the level of detail. The lack of UI scaling is frustrating as at 1440p it becomes difficult to read without leaning forward. Other than that the game is fantastic, no issues with low res textures or empty streets here.
