''and the last thing we want to do is compromise the quality of the experience'' Yeah right.. Mafia 2 and Mafia 3 Definitive Editions are buggy as hell, even more than original cuz they did not fix any bugs from the original games and even added more lol

don't quote me on this but if I remember correctly the game was pretty much "stolen" from the original developers and then "given" to another favored studio and this is when quality became trash I can't remember which other game was like that recently but there have been others from other studio that had the same fate, oh yeah...pretty much everything Take 2 releases now is made like this wwe2k20 etc...and they all horribly bugged crap Take 2 is the Disney of video games, take a good IP give it to a random trash director/dev who hates the original audience and let him/her destroy that IP edit : originally a 2K Czech game (1+2) Mafia 3 was "transferred" to Hangar 13 in California and then it became a buggy hell can 't wait to see how bugged Kerbal Space Program 2 will be it follows the same "let's start a project in one studio and then unemploy half the people/re-hire at lower salaries the rest before release" someone inside wouldn't be very angry with something like that and wouldn't leave bugs in it purposefully...no sir..would never happen

Mafia, wasn't the 1st one that game with the super-slow old cars, the got you in trouble for driving over the speed limit, released in 2001? If so, yes I tried it, for about 30 minutes one time, and said 'really, a drive 20~25mph speed limit simulator with old slow cars? That is not fun!'. That was back when I was around 20 or so when it came out, if so, what a horrid game. It had positively nothing over GTA III at the time, besides maybe some better character for the npc's and main characters in the game. Mafia II was okay but I never got far in it, never really held my interest that long.

Mafia 1 was an all time favorite game of mine, I am looking forward to this. Loved the setting, story, music and gameplay. And yes, even loved the old slow cars (which did get faster as the story progressed in years). The game felt very authentic.
