Anything censored in DE?

[RetroRun]

Are the pinup mags present in this DE version, or are they removed? wanting to buy it, but if they cut something from the original, I won't bother then

Nothing have been censored at least in my version, however the story have chance a little bit and characters personality have also change a bit. Other than that its very faithful for original.

The gorgeous pinups have been replaced by generic pulp magazines. Some of the problematic music has been changed, and some of the missions have been tightened up and editted somewhat. Some dialogue and character personalities have indeed been changed.

The original is more epic in scope, and more ambitious. The remake is safer but it's also a less jarring experience in places and shows more maturity, at least for a game that has you blasting a cathedral and racing hotrods. DE, whatever you think of it, is better than the rest of the Mafia series except maybe for the original in some ways, and it's easily one of the best crime family games period.

Aight thanks, I played the original, it was damn awesome, I guess I'll be skipping over this, I don't like censorship, so I'll just take a pass. Thanks for the information my man

The original release of the first version of Mafia had those sweet pinups, but it also had some bugs and a limited music license. When the license ran out, STEAM had to take the game down for some time, and it was next to impossible to find unless you already owned a copy from those early days.

Eventually, the music licensing was "fixed" by replacing problematic tracks. I don't know if the pinups were licensed either, they may have not been. There's far worse content on STEAM, rape simulators and so forth, so I can't say if censorship really is the issue. Maybe it is, I don't know and haven't bothered to look into any of that. When Mafia came back to STEAM, though, as I recall the pinups were all switched out to generic magazines. I remember there were some complaints about the morality of the pinups, but come on. I'm more prone to believe that they may have been used without proper permissions. As a visual artist myself, I absolutely hate when that happens.

Pin-up magazines?? What the hell are you two talking about? Mafia 1 never had those, only 2 and 3. Mafia DE has plenty of issues, but there is no censorship, unless you consider the pulp magazines "censorship" in direct comparison to the other games instead of Mafia 1.
