It appears that the PS4 version of Mafia 2: Definitive Edition went up earlier on the Australian PS store. Thus, someone was able to purchase the game and share twelve minutes of gameplay footage from it.
Unfortunately, and as we can see, Mafia 2: Definitive Edition does not feature any PhysX effects. This means that this new version has less particles effects, with worse cloth physics. Of course these effects were available exclusively on NVIDIA GPUs, however, it’s a shame witnessing a new version of a game with worse physics effects.
Anyway, as we can see, Mafia 2: Definitive Edition is basically a remaster of the first game. This Definitive Edition features slightly better character models, some new lighting effects and new post-processing effects.
According to an earlier leak, Mafia 2 Definitive Edition will be available for purchase later today. On the other hand, the full remake of the first Mafia game may come out in August 2020.
2K Games will reveal more details about the Mafia Trilogy later today, so stay tuned for more!

sad really but at least the original with OLD REALITY MOD is still beautiful to this day

Not even near the screenshots of the other day, WTF?
That was the first mafia, which gets recreated in mafia 3 engine, mafia 2 just gets a common remaster, a coat of paint, if you will
Oh look another remaster that is a downgraded version of the original
Just get the original there are no issues with it on modern systems.
I had issues with it. Weird bug where cars textures would appear as hot pink.

The first Mafia game was outstanding, with the exception of that ‘racing’ section. Mafia 2 was the poorest version, looked and played like a console game with too much WW2 flashback nonsense. Mafia 3 was okay but it could have been called anything other than ‘Mafia 3’.
Anyway, why have they released Mafia 2 today but we don’t get the original until August?
I only remember the tutorial being in WW2. Mafia 3 was more Saints Row than Mafia.
This is just the PC version.
And the original one with mods and reshade can be far far better than this.
Did the PS4 ever have Nvidia PhysX though? It would make sense that it would only be on PC.
Yes it had. Nvidia added PS4 support for Physx and APEX. These can run on the CPU too.
Funny this “definitive” version does not use them. Performance sucks i guess.
This is sadly a fake. Definitely not the remastered version.
nope, it’s real.
Don’t have Nvidia Physx? One the best part of the game!
another same edition game.. pfft
