I was searching for a classic game, I wanted to visit the retro world. I did play Mafia 2 in the past in the last decade. Mafia 1 must be old on graphics, that's what I thought until I found the remastered edition. I installed the game, visited the mod page, and downloaded a handful of Reshade, HUD toggle, and 4k presets to overhaul this game.

Gentleman, here is the output. The game started with a flyout animation introducing the city. I made sure to snap my favorite pictures during that long intro.

The game is crashing on fullscreen so I have to pay it windowed.

Old retro cars ignited my interest in driving.

Old city looks more lively than Mafia 2 that I played before.

The map looks close to Gta 2. Not modern but similar to what I saw in Gta 2.

Mega cruise ships docked. I hope they are accessible in the later part of the game.

Cars! I just want to try each of them around the city.

The first mission covers this bridge too, you have to jump across it to run away from enemies.

And the vintage swift cola ad.

I believe Mafia story line is connected around the main character.

In Mafia 2, our boy was a veteran military guy which end up being a part of the gang wars.

Sitting next to casino, waiting for the customers. I start as a cab driver.

A gang is chasing two fellows in the black car.

Fellows are unable to shake them off. Their cab wents out of control and they get out of it.

The cab burns in the fire. Fellows approaches me for an escape.

I know how to drive such cars, I know the mechanics thanks to my gameplay of Mafia 2. These cars are tricky to drive. I remember one oil stamp collecting mission. There I learned the basics of this car and able to drift these a little.

As I help them in escaping, I jump from the bridge.

The gang was not able to get on other side in time and I was able to escape as well. It took me 3 times to complete this mission and get the perfect shots. HUD mod and cinematic mod are little tricky to handle at the same time to take perfect shots. I need to on and off them to learn the controls.

Tommy stops at casino as the fellows get back inside the building.

Don the gang man sends reward for saving them.

The gang man offers me a job at their gang and also assures me for a support or loan in case of any need. They advise me to take care of the damages of the car as the enemy gang can trace it.

The reshade looks amazing in the day light. I will add few more mods to remove the stutter and make this game a little light on my hardware. Unlocking FPS will be a nice addon too.
