Another super interesting detail they added in the DE was when you drive Salieri to eat before Morello tries to kill him. In the Definitive Edition Salieri mentions that he convinced Sarah to tell Tommy that she was going to end their marriage if he didn’t get sober. It’s not mentioned at all in the original and it’s a turning point in the story. In the DE you can see how visibly uncomfortable he is to find that out and it’s a huge reason why Tommy starts to lose faith in Salieri! I thought it was an excellent little addition!
That's an excellent point! I think at that particular momnet in time Tommy indeed started to realize that a lot of what Salieri says and does is a facade. Facade of caring about them, facade of pretending he's benevolent, kind and just. While in fact, he's a manipulator - and this little moment proves it very well. He's not above using your loved one to essentially strong arm you into doing what he wants, and he openly admits it to your face, having full confidence in his own authority. That's a scary and less-than-trustworthy man right there.
I believe the reason that Tommy's "yes" in the original (and in Mafia 2) sounds suprised is because in the OG game, Tommy's death was suppose to happen around late 50's, maybe even early 60's if we consider how aged Tommy looks in the OG Ending. The only evidence I can bring up that could confirm that, is the car Vito and Joe drives in Mafia 1. It's a 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Although, the Mafia Franchise always had timeline inconsistencies with their cars and weapons. Otherwise, when I see Vito and Joe in the OG Mafia 1, in those colorful suits, it gives me Godfather 2 vibes (which also took place in the late 50's and early 60's). Since Mafia 2 was heavily cut, I believe the developers couldn't bring the (more shorter) game around to last into the late 50's (as the game was suppose to, evidenced by the other cut endings), so they retconned Tommy's death to happen in 1951. Anyway, if he was really suppose to die (let's say) sometime between 1957 and 1963 (between age 57 and 63), then it's no surprise that he was suprised by the "Mr. Angelo" addressing. After someone lives a quiet life for 20+ years, that person easily gets comfortable and starts to think that "the devil no longer lurks in the shadows"... So no! He didn't get stupid! He didn't forget Salieri's or Sam's threatening words! It's just the way it is. If someone (even a big criminal organization) threatens a person, but does not carry out those threats for a time, especially for a long time like 10 to 20 years, then the threatened person becomes comfortable and goes on with his life...
The only thing is how old is salieri when tommy gets whacked in the OG? Can he actually be alive? i believe Salieri was in his 60's in main story, maybe breaking 70's in 1938, in mafia DE Frank says that he knew salieri for 50 years, so in OG version if tommy gets whacked ~20-30 years later it would make Salieri 90-100 years old which in those times would be quite unrealistic
@@h1tzzYT yea he might be dead but I think it's not important considering that Salieri wasn't the only one who got locked down. The hit could be ordered by anyone from his crew
It wasn’t him being stupid it’s just how it is in real life. Most people in the mafia who have snitched and then been killed after usually get killed randomly. They go buy a bagel, bam. They are walking their dog, bam. I feel like people think death is cinematic in some way when in reality it’s instant. One second you’re and here and one second you aren’t and it can happen in the most odd and random ways
that surprised "yes" could even be that he had new identity so it was even more surprising by them calling him by his "old name" (at least i think se said that the part of the deal between tommy and norman was changing identities)
I don't know how you balance a full-time job, outside commitments and consistently making quality videos on RU-vid, but congrats on another great job here!
@@EmergencyChannel Yeah, i couldn't either, but i guess it depends on what type of work you did. personally im normally beat by the time i get home and my first day off is wasted to sleep so not much time for gaming...
@@marbl3d45 if only it were the kids , i mean god forbid i dont have that stealth kill promt otherwise the game is unplayable , hold my hand tighter please
Although Mafia DE is a beautiful game, Tom Angelo in the original is far more relatable and likably person. I like how he tries to guide himself through his moral compass, and as a young player back 20 years ago, Tom OG, unlike DE one, truly gave some lessons I don't find in protagonists in the modern games, aside from Arthur from RDR2, which is my favourite character in games.
I slightly disagree and go with the latter. DE Tommy was more relatable. Being poor and having to drive a cab for a living in grimy and sleazy Lost Haven which we all know is Chicago in the 20s, the period where actual mobsters openly fight for power be it Capone or the Irish Mobs and Triads, it was a total mess and with times being that tough, Tommy was making ends meat. Sure you could argue that initially in the DE, he didn't wanna take the cash because he didn't wanna owe the family anything but after his cab got wrecked by the Morellos, he sees just how wealthy he can be by just being a part of the Mafia and also, with many people backing him for the things he'll be doing on top of the cash he'll be earning, rather than driving around unwanted people. If you really look into the mission at the point just before his cab got whacked, Tommy was already slightly tired of his job with ferrying toxic people constantly till he saw the scene of Morello whacking the poor dude because he can. That changed his view on the Mafia that there's no one to protect him unless he joins one himself and exact revenge for what the Morellos did to him and Salieri comes to mind and when opportunity comes knocking with a bag of cash and honor, who wouldn't jump ship? It's more relatable with the DE version tho
I think Tommy makes sense in DE because in the 1930s, crime was very high, his life very poor. He has definitely seen a lot worse than some gangsters running away or smashing up some cars or shaking people down
I only played the definitive addition, I appreciate getting to see the original but after seeing the original compared to the definitive addition I honestly appreciate the little touches added to it. Getting more time with Sarah, hearing Paulie & Sam have their own flaws / concerns, and even the changes to the ending I personally enjoyed
It's still something I'd recommend you play given the chance... It is a product of its time, sure, but it's just got some charm the remake couldn't quite recapture... ...it's not hard to get your hands on for pc either tbh, nor is it too expensive.. just download the mod that restores the music, as it was removed (copyright reasons probably) and playing most of the game in dead silence just kills it
@@samixalam_ I'll definitely consider it, I could also use a PS2 emulator too depending on which version I wanna go for. Like I said in my original comment I might not have played the original but I really do appreciate seeing the differences even if I don't play the original I can still respect the foundation it created
No. It´s one of the worsts remakes in existence, a disgrace which doesn´t respect and understand what the original game was about. I´m sorry you grow up with the terrible console port, the only valid way to play this game is the original PC version
@@Don_Ramiro Lmao, thats why too harsh List all things you think mafia de got wrong that mafia 1 did better I played mafia de first and then tried mafia 1, but its just so outdated and weak compared to de, that i gave up
@@M1389-v2o My lord, I'm tired of having this conversation, and repeating myself over and over again... No, Mafia 1 is not outdated and definitely not weaker than DE, more like the other way around (except in the technical level, but even in here the original beats the Defective Edition in some aspects). The main reason of why this was a terrible remake, was because instead of improving the original experience, it became something completely different (basically a slightly improved Mafia 3, on top of Mafia 1's story). Mafia 1 had a very unique experience in his combat, in which it had an almost a pseudoFPS feel (that's why the camera is always stuck at Tommy's back, and why the weapons have such recoil), it had a slower more "tactical" aproach, you have to take your time in the shootings because even if there's not a lot of AI enemies in the levels, they can be letal, and there's no such thing like automatic covers, you have to crouch and do it yourself. Also, multiple levels were quite open and with multiple ways of finishing the same mission (this is painfully absent in DE, being probably the best example Morello's death, were in the originall you could take him out in 3 different ways). Mafia DE is just another generic 3rd person coverbased shooter. Most of the shooting missions involve the same repetitive scheme: You have a wave of a ton of enemies you have to take out. You just take cover and do it. After they are done, you have a period of "peace", in which you can take the ammo of the fallen enemies. Then you advance a little futher in the level (they are even painfully linear), and a action music announces another wave with another ton of enemies. You do the same exactly thing. Repeat this scheme until the mission is done. The best way of comparing the two different philosophies between the games, is by looking at the mission were you have to take out Sergio Morello. The mission is setup in the Harbor. Well, in DE, the mission scheme is exactly as I described above. The level, as I also said, is painfully linear, you can observe obstacles conviniently placed in the scenario just to have a path for the player to follow. In the original version, the WHOLE HARBOR is opened (no obs!!! It's up to the player, of which way he wants to advance and explore, creating a different experience of that mission everytime he replays it. There's also some buildings you can enter, in which you can have your usual aid kits, or even find useful weapons (specially in that large open area) like a sniper, etc. The last thing I going to talk about, is how DE ruined the characters in the story, by completely changing his personality. This is specially painful with the main protagonist, Tommy. The only two characters who DE actually improved and expanded (what you would expect from a remake) were Sam, and specially Ralphie. To give something positive to the DE compared to the original, that would be the melee combat. It's nothing special, but it does his job. In the original, it was as terrible back in the day as it is today.
I could've forgiven the remakes shortcomings when it came to some of the weird changes to the levels, gameplay and story had the ending not been so god awful. Seriously, how the fuck did they mess up the ending that badly! How the fuck did a monologue reflecting Tommy's life in the mob, philosophy of life and his naivety turn into a generic Fast and Furious family speech? Haden Blackman (the writer of Mafia 3 & Definitive Editon) seems to believe that the series was all about family when that never really was the case up until he got put in charge with writing Mafia 3. The first Mafia was about the economy hence why the game took place during the Great Depression and the desperation people had and what they did in order to become rich and survive while also noting the consequences with that which symbolizes Tommy going from an average Taxi driver to a high ranking mobster in the Salieri family. Mafia 2 was about friendship vs business and how in the mob life, the only way to survive in the business is to follow orders and never think for yourself or else you might suffer the consequences. This symbolizes Vito's brother like friendship with Joe and why Vito is constantly being used as a pawn through out the whole game. Imagine if they ever remade Mafia 2 and took these themes and turned them into a generic "family is important" message without making a single lick of sense. That's exactly what they did to the original.
@@Minty_659 Thanks, I was incredibly disappointed with the remake when in first came out, hell I even defended the remake before it came out when many of the original fans didn't get good impressions from it. Unfortunately, the same could not be said when the game released. Everything from the gameplay mechanics, overall design, game philosophy and level design was completely unfaithful to what the original and to some extent Mafia 2 was going for. Although I was disappointed, I at least accepted it as a different game and had a bit of fun playing through it... until the ending appeared. Ugh, screw Hangar 13, seriously.
@@fredster594i personally like the change it makes it more inline with the rest of the franchise As you stated with mafia 2, it was mostly about friendship but there also was a family element the big reason vito returned to crime was because of his fathers loan. I understand your perspective and I like both verisons on their own but I see why they made the change with the two games following.
As someone who played the remake first before decided to play the original, I do prefer the original game simply because of it's gameplay. I didn't have any strong opinions about the remake's gameplay, despite the customization it offers, I just thought it was serviceable. It simply got the job done. I didn't think it was particularly hard either on Classic difficulty, besides the big race. While I do think the original game can be unfair at times it does come back to strategy and in some missions at least offers more agency rather than restricting everything to set pieces.
Finally someone "new" who understands things. The "Demake" edition, it´s a downgrade in almost every aspect. They turned the gameplay into just another coverbased 3rd person shooter.
Both games are great, but I still prefer the Original, it just had something more to it. The DE expanded somethings but it took away a lot of others, like crazy mode, freeroam being also bare bones. Also DE doesn't have the same music they used in the Original which was a little of a bummer. I still think DE is a great game, but Original just more to it. But I also understand why some parts been cut if you follow the fact that Tommy is telling the story from his own perspective and he would not tell about doing jobs to get cars like in the Original. Still, I miss all the secrets and humor that Original had.
another awesome video man! don’t worry about taking breaks, your video quality and lengths definitely constitutes breaks! can’t wait for you to go over 2 &3!
Steering wheel support with force feedback was included in the original PC version. Really made driving around more fun. Wish more GTA type games included wheel support.
I first played it on the PS2 version, which featured a racing mode where you could compete in short championships or simply set up custom races with all the weird and wacky prototype cars you could unlock. It was like a miniature version of Gran Turismo but featuring 1930s cars. You can really tell that the developers of the original game had a real passion for the cars of that era, even going as far as to include detailed stats for every single one of them
The only correct way to play Mafia is on PC with a high quality steering wheel and keyboard/mouse. The driving in this game was way ahead of its time and the force feedback was especially stellar, it's better than loads of modern games. This is how I played it at release, with a keyboard in my lap, so I could switch back and forth instantly. The cars and their physics is amazing when paired with a good wheel and fine tuning the controls and force feedback settings. When played this way, it's a truly special game, and may just be my favorite game of all time. Thanks to this video I'm going to have to install it once again, I NEVER tire of playing this masterpiece.
in the original where you go to beat up the thugs that harass Sarah, the place feels creepy and ghetto, its not a spectacle, its like looking at pure poverty, thugs beating up random people and there's just a very gloomy vibe to it that I love, also they get freaked out when they realize you're a made guy, which makes it more realistic
The music is way better in the original. There's something archaic about the sound production and style that really made you feel you were there. The music and style of the remake is way too clean and polished. 6:58 I always wanted this game to be open world, so I would have welcomed the remake taking that route. 8:00 The remake didn't nail that atmosphere. It's too smooth. 31:24 One of my gaming accomplishments was not only winning this mission, I got into racing mini game that was part of Lost Heaven. I got really good at it and got 1st place on all levels. I even used to play it for fun
Ironically enough, the race mission in DE on Classic is actually tougher than the classic race mission. In the classic race mission, the opponent cars are pretty slow, and you usually lose because you made a mistake and turned around 1280 degrees and now you're facing god knows where and you forgot who you even are. If you drive without any mistakes, you can actually beat the opponents by almost an entire lap they're that slow. In DE, however, you can drive the race flawlessly and still come 2nd or 3rd. That's because every car in the race is the same speed as yours and there are a couple of opponents who are just flat out impassable and unbeatable, even if you floor it to the limit on a straight road. However, during the mission, there are 2-3 scripted events where random drivers will get eliminated because of crashes or car problems, and you need to hope that one of the leaders will be the one hit by those scripted eliminations, or else you can drive the whole race clean and smooth and still lose. It's especially infuriating, because in the campaign it's explained that the car you're using is a super-cranked uber-machine that's literally unbeatable, which explains why the race is so easy as long as you drive clean in the original. Whereas in DE your car is actually painfully mid, which creates a feeling or ludonarrative dissonance and only serves to piss you off more on an already infamously difficult mission DE Classic difficulty race mission is tougher by a mile!
A lot of people complain about the lack of open world, but I'm genuinely glad that someone else found it a nice refreshing change from the lazy bloated meta of modern AAA games. It shows that quantity doesn't always mean quality.
As someone who played the OG game in his teens, i feel like such a boomer when you describe the changes in the definitive edition. Like "you kids dont know how easy you have" and "Back in my time games were way harder"
I worked on mafia definitive edition. No joke and ( i can prove it cause this is the internet). I still think that we did a great job on the remake tbh it was loved by many people and we had good leadership and art direction. Yes a bit more modernized that the first one art wise but i think driving was less clunky that the original.
this was always my #1 dream game, due to having to settle for playing the original console port (PS2) back in the day. Thank you for helping make this game a reality.
@@yeahhbuddy3932 Still it was too bold of rockstar making such a big deal for something that at best could have been a bellow average port of the og games
@@yeahhbuddy3932they should had remake them, everything was there, just a different engine, new voice acting and graphics and gta v gameplay and it would had been done
stealth takedowns ,the damage screen Too bad disabling the HUD doesnt turn off the health bar (I think?) the repetitive music during shootouts but we can turn on the black and white filter I wanna give the original anither try with all the needed patches , except graphics patches since I love the old creepy vibe of games from that era
I find the controls in the original difficult but satisfying, despite their age... I cant be the only one right? Also, I don't know why but this video unlocked a memory of that funny song from that chase scene lmao
the way i heard the characters be described is relatability vs believability, mostly in reference to Tommy, the original being more relatable, but DE being more believable
Thank you for this extensive review! I can completely understand getting burnt out trying to play multiple games back to back, especially when you're running through them for a review and not at your own pace. So, about that Yakuza review... It would be a huge commitment, both in time and effort. I don't have a specific suggestion, since every one is different and has his own resources - but I can recommend a modicum of caution. Maybe play the games along simpler ones, alternate them - find a way to make the playing experience as enjoyable as possible, in any way you find it works for you. Cheers!
I absolutely love how punishing the original game was. Everytime I die it makes me consider how I should approach the mission, making it annoying... But fun
I've had the pleasure of playing both these growing up with the original and revisiting it again before playing DE on release as an adult and I love them both.
I kinda prefer OG Sam’s betrayal, especially if they were gonna make Paulie more sympathetic. It shows that not everyone is a sad, lost soul and the basic, selfish, backstabbing gangster does exist. It would’ve gone even further if he was allowed to be the opposite of Paulie to the very end. I also just think the original actor and scenario is more memorable in a sea of gangsters trying to justify it as “Business, nothing personal.” Sam’s like nah you messed up so I have no problem laughing at you in your final moments
I remember playing the Mafia DE race mission was frustrating for me since I was terrible at driving games so I asked my Dad to play it. He beat the mission in a few tries, I was so happy.
@@key0777Nobody sounds like that when they're talking. Ever. The OG is emotionless 95% of the time. They're clearly just reading a script and getting a paycheck.
Wow, I'm playing through the remake with the hud basically off and I thought the farm mission was really well done. Any points of interest to check out had a lone bulb illuminating the path so that's where you went, and it led you to the truck. Later when you find the barn with a lot of bodies there's a big blood trail leading all the way to them. If ever possible in a game, play with hud elements turned off. Massively improved my enjoyment of multiple games.
I might have to actually give the definitive edition a go. That race mission literally made me snap my copy as a kid after trying for a few days to pass it
What i love about the OG is the directing.. every cutscenes take it's time and deliver meaningful suspense. Ex: tommy crossing the ladder to the church, morrelo's train ambush, tommy smoking at the gas station, etc. While in DE, i hate how rushed some of these scenes are, especially that they're only using one music throught the ENTIRE game. It's repetitive, and that boom sound effect at the end of every cutscenes i feel only work in mafia 3 documentary style. Here, it's a bit out of place Also, i feel it's alright that some level are not too action. it realistic how there's only one pursuer on the first level, instead of the gangster suddenly know where to block the road. Or in ordinary routine, many mob just popped out from the forest to help the brute escape. Or how there's a scripted mass shooting in visiting rich people, instead of rewarding player by doing stealth.
As a lifelong fan of the original game I feel the new one is a direct insult and a slap in the face. I like the city, the cars, and the graphics, but other than that it just makes me mad. The freeride in the new one does not have gangsters, it doesn't have money, and it doesn't have a gun shop outside of Vincenzo's.
After two playthroughs of the DE I can thoroughly say it’s in my top five favorite crime games of all time! Up their with Saints Row 2, Scarface, GTA IV, and Vice City. I adore the Story, the characters, the VA’s, the combat, The Music, and the world! It’s all great with a few issues I have; like enemies not reacting to getting shot much, the free ride missions being fun but very strange, and sometimes button prompts don’t register at times. I appreciate the original after watching a full playthrough and set of reviews about it, I can’t play it because I don’t have a PC and don’t trust the PS2 version.
I love the way they remaked the game, trully one of the best remakes out there - i belive one of the reason why they modernised it so much was simply because with few fixes og game is still great, and aged very well also in terms of visuals. Hangar 13 did great job, and btw. i think Mafia 3 was even better but was waaaay to overstreched with need to overtake almost every corner of the map, other than that and it's rocky start before patches it's my favourite Mafia game.
In most ways I think the Og story is better, having watch the game years ago. It’s just feels in line with what a mafia would do, put business and themselves above others
One other thing about the original race: damage is still on. Slam into stuff too much and you'll lose a wheel, forcing you to forfeit. Hit a curve wrong, flip in the air, and land on your head, and you'll die instantly, also forcing you to reload even if it happened on the last lap
I still prefer the original, but I'm impressed with this remake. I'm fine with the character/dialogue changes, it's not a remaster, but I wish they'd keep the level of gameplay realism and the gunfight difficulty from the original.
I think I remember the reason the wheels are so laggy when driving, you're using wasd right? If you use the arrows instead of wasd or remap them the wheels turn smoother, affecting handling.
OG's ending dialogue is better written, DE's ending scene is better performed. (I love that, unlike OG where he dies a confused old man, DE Tommy takes his death with dignity.)
If there’s a Mafia 5, the time period should be the 70s and 80s with the main character being an undercover FBI agent who’s infiltrating a Mafia family and he has to struggle whether he is gonna remain loyal to the law or become a crook.
I always found Paulie unintentionally hilarious in the original, that big head of his was so distracting I'd expect him to bump his head getting in to the car.😂😂
I played the Xbox port of Mafia and was spared the terrible experience PS2 players were exposed to. Mafia is one of my all time favorite video games. Good story, great music, fun missions. Its a game that has an extremely high replay value. Naturally I had to play the Definitive Edition on PS4 because I was excited to see how the timeless game would look with modern graphics. I am so happy the developers built the game from the ground up instead of simply porting the PC version and polishing the graphics. The definitive version allows you to see Mafia as what it would have looked like if it was originally made in 2020 as opposed to 2002. The 2002 game will always be my favorite simply because it is a product of simpler times. When I sold my Xbox in 2006 the only game I could not part with was Mafia. I still have it just in case I end up buying a used Xbox from ebay. Will be a blast from the past playing the actual game I fell in love with again.
First, this was a great take on both games compared each other. It wasnt so deep comparison but still you maintained key aspects for comparison and it was well made, didnt expect such thoroughful inside. Thanks for that taking your time, I guarantee there's more to find in OG Mafia! I'm a czech OG Mafia fan, I've finished the game countless times, so to me this game has meant alot, especially with an excelent czech voice acting. To summarize both games in few words without being overly nitpicky - Mafia remake brings more depth into some characters while maintaining the core of the original game. However, parts that could have been left untouched imo were touched, thus for me it creates both games complementing each other. Something is better in one than in another and vice versa. For a player that never played original Mafia, the remake version will certainly satisfy him. For a player that has a luxury of comparing both games, the remake comes out with solid 8/10. It's not a complete disaster of a remake, it's a well-made tribute to the fantastic 2002 MAFIA game, but with some simplified gameplay and especially with final message of the game. The visuals of outro sequence is made better in remake, but the OG message is better and realistic portray of a mob life. P.S. I was really missing Tommy's words after he lefts Frank escape as he remembers what Frank had told him in a car: "At the end, your best friend will kill you". -> Salieri kills Frank (Tommy was supposed to kill a friend), Sam kills Paulie, Tommy kills Sam, Salieri kills Tom. No room for a friendship in this line of work.
I never did complete that god forsaken racing level… I just gave up in the end after a few full game restarts forever wondering if the game was broken or I was just skill filtered. Turns out it was both. Just not in the way I’d expect.
In the definitive edition two men shoot and chase Tommy, and they get away with their lives despite the fact that Paulie pointed a shotgun right at them. They were active shooters, shooting up the town, and the just let them get away. How does that make any sense at all? In the original they sleep with the fishes
As a big big fan of the original (my favourite game ever), I really enjoyed the remake, it is a very accurate reconstruction of the original. The gameplay was a fair choice due to the modern standards, and the story was faithful to the original. The atmosphere is surely different, but I think in the original we remember some different vibe partially for nostalgia, and mostly because the graphics limits served perfectly to re-create the great depression years. The only annoying thing about the remake is the ending, which was slightly overdone with speeches and usual Italian cliché. But it's fine.
thank you for your insight. Due to console limitations (poor Xbox port) I only played a few levels of the original. However, one scene I really preferred in the original was the rural gas station (motel mission?). As it was set in an open pastured area, resembling Illinois. Whereas the DE doesn't exhibit the same vibe. Do you know what I mean? Take care.
I'm a huge Mafia 1 fan. When I heard they're remaking it I had zero expectations. In the end, after playing it, I liked it for the graphics and for the developers sticking to the original, but the shootouts felt overwhelming - there's way too many enemies that are easy to kill. I'd much rather have fewer enemies but harder to kill like in the original, it was much more intentional with shootouts. It kinda makes you feel bad for your killing just like Tommy feels. Also, the music in the original was better!
My first time playing mafia was recently through the definitive edition and I loved the realistic aspect of driving the speed limit. Helps immersion quite a bit I think
In the original you could even switch between manual and automatic driving, and change up and down gears, and each car had the exact same specifications, down to the itty bitts details, with its own in-game encyclopaedia, of the historical car models.
My first time playing the definitive edition I played it on classic and took the enemy’s off my mini map making the shootouts and just the game in general better.
I remember playing the original and I just couldn't get through that stupid race no matter what, I even asked my brother, who played a lot more racing games, than me, even rally games, and even he couldn't do it. Took me a while to find a save file specifically made for those who couldn't win the race, since it's a save from right after the racing mission. It was a life saver, I bet I would still dislike the memory of this game if not for that save file.
For me, the original ending was better. But I think that is a czech bias. Czech dub of the game was superb and the ending monologue was said in totally different tone. English delivery is just mutch more flat than the original and it paint the final scene in totally different light. I recoment listening to czech dub ending just for the voicework alone
The funny thing about this race is i grew up and still play heaps of racing games like beamng and gran turismo so its either the hardest thing ever or the easiest thing ever depending on the player 🤣
A funny thing is how the DE felt like the original to me when I first played it (hadn't played the original since I was much younger) but after I replayed the original a few weeks later I noticed the small differences in the plot and overall feeling, still one of the better remakes that came out of the last few years and this overall rather sad trend of remaking old games instead of going for something new
