Mafia was remade from the ground up. GTA3DE was a port of a port. Not sure what you want.

Graphic is great

it happened to me, I bought the trilogy for the simple nostalgia, just like the Star Wars Battlefront CC remaster, Star Wars Bounty Hunter and of course the definitive mafia trilogy, just some remasters are more worth it than others, being mostly offline games, it would be great to support workshop... but I think I got off topic, in the case of GTA Trilogy DE, and Star Wars Battlefront CC remaster, they could be called Remastered Bug Edition, or Definitive Bug edition, expanding on what you are trying to say, it is understandable in cases such as in mafia 1 remaster compared to the original, they improved the race mission by a lot, in gta 3 DE the paramedic mission is still a fiasco like in the original.

Sry i buy the trilogy on sale. But i must laugh how the GTA3 look in "definitive" edition. If i play original Mafia 1 game, which came out in the same year as original GTA3, i can see only better work on textures and whole world. If anybody dont play mafia 1 try it. Even original Mafia from 2002 kick ass to GTA3 remasterd. I really look forward to play Vice City, which is for me my best GTA games, but i must say, iam disappointed how rockstar can ruined the remaster. If anybody look for game as GTA try czech game Mafia. And even remaster version is good. But the main mind♥♥♥♥ is storytelling. I dont wanna be the complaining guy, but the state of definitive edition of GTA3 is horrible. Sry for my english, im not native speaker.

Mafia remastered is a game that was made in the late 2010s and released in 2020. It is not the same as this game and its silly to think it is. You're literally comparing a game made from the ground up and released in 2020 with a game that got ported to modern systems but was made and released in 2001... you're literally going "WHY IS THIS GAME THAT WAS MADE 2 DECADES LATER LOOK BETTER?!?!" and its making you look like you have no idea what is even going on.

Edit: It would probably be a good idea for you to learn the english distinctions between a remake and a remaster... remasters do not do as much work, they usually just add some QoL features and some slightly shinier graphics. A remake is built from the ground up and requires alot more work.

If you confuse the two then you'll be upset like you are, but really you walked in with the wrong expectations because you misunderstood what was even going on.

Learn the difference between "Remaster" and "Remake"... Mafia 1 was a Remake, not a Remaster...
