Comparing the trailers: Mafia: Definitive Edition vs. Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven
Danylo Lapin has created a trailer comparison for Mafia: Definitive Edition and the original. Fans are worried the remake runs on the problematic Mafia III engine.
Enthusiast Danylo Lapin has created a frame-by-frame comparison of the trailers for the original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven and its remake, Mafia: Definitive Edition, on his YouTube channel.
The video below clearly shows the new game is a complete overhaul of the first Mafia title. However, some fans of the original are already sounding the alarm:

During yesterday's PC Gaming Show, the remake's developer confirmed that Mafia: Definitive Edition is built on the Mafia III engine. This immediately raises concerns for fans of the first two games, given the many issues they had with that most recent franchise installment.
One major concern is vehicle physics and handling. Another is the strange NPC behavior and the police's often inadequate reactions to player actions.
On top of all that, Mafia III was notoriously buggy and unstable at launch. Considering the same studio is developing the remake, fans of the original Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven have entirely valid reasons for concern.
