Comparison Mafia Original vs Mafia Remake [Side by Side]

I've created this guide to show the world how the gameplay and scenes are side by side ..some missions being shorter in OG game some being shorter in remake and vice versa. I know there are other short videos doing this but i wanted do the full versions as i couldn't really find anything as this.

On this guide i will post them as youtube videos created as chapters...you will be able to see side by side every detail that was cut from each game ..you will be able to see some details that weren't in OG and some details that were in the OG but not in the remake.

And you will also read about some changes that even in videos are hard to spot.

Hope you enjoy !!

Comparison - An Offer You Can’t Refuse [Side by Side]

Prologue:
Where Tommy originally takes the elevated train to meet Detective Norman, these roles have now become reversed.

An Offer You Can't Refuse
There is now an additional roadblock on the Giuliani Bridge set by Morello's gangsters.
There is also a new mission fail scene where Paulie will shoot the player in the head if they refuse to complete the mission in time.

Comparison - Running Man [Side by Side]

Running Man
The number of passengers the player needs to fare has been shortened from five to three.(and this is a huge upgrade as it was pretty boring in original game)
There are now more expansive conversations between Tommy and his passengers, one of which recommends Tommy to grab a coffee at his friend's café which sets up the second scene of the mission.
Originally, Dino (who's name is now revealed) and Lou were killed upon entering Salieri's Bar, whereas now they are simply chased away by Paulie and Sam outside the bar.

Ordinary Routine:

The player now enters the first location on the trip.
Where the man who beat Sam attempted to kill Tommy, he now makes less of an attempt, hitting Tommy with a briefcase during the escape.
In the original, the thief wore a brown suit, whilst in the remake, the thief is the guy who beat Sam up.
The thief's getaway car was originally the Lassiter V16 Phaeton, now it is the Smith V12.
In the original, the thief simply drove around the countryside. In the remake, the thief is escaping to Morello's Lounge Bar, and the mission will fail if he makes it there.

Intermezzo One
Some context present in the original version of the game between Tommy and Norman has now been removed. Originally, Tommy is presented as a sociopath when prompted by Norman to answer his morals in killing people. Tommy explains that he killed because the other side was trying to trying to outsmart the family. This has all been removed in the remake.
Morello originally gets rear ended by the victim, now Morello rear ends the victim and blames him for it; also Morello bashing the victim's face on his car has been changed to attacking him with a tire iron.
The victim's name has now been revealed to be Joey Crackers, a boxer who worked for Morello.
The victim's car was a Bolt Model B Fordor in the original, while in the remake, his car is a Bolt Ace.

missable achievement ...(for the missable achivement just follow my route from remake)

Instead of a party at the bar, the party is now on the grounds of the actual racecourse instead, which the player can interact with other characters

Comparison - Sarah & Better Get Used to it [Side by Side]

I've decided to combine these 2 missions because in the Original it feels way more connected as they are one single mission compared to remake where they feel so different.

Sarah
In the original, when Tommy and Sarah goes to her home, and they end up spending the night in bed. In the remake, Tommy and Sarah are sitting on the couch.
In the original, Johnny was absent during the street hoodlums' attack. Whilst in the remake, he was present.

Some context present in the original game has been removed. Whilst Tommy is still hesitant in shooting Billy in the remake, Tommy and Paulie talking about getting used to killing has been removed in the remake.
In the original, Paulie's gun ran out of bullets before he had the chance to shoot Johnny. In the remake, he only manages to shoot one bullet into Johnny.

The vibe when the gangsters come in remake is much better in my opinion and hits way more realistic but regarding gameplay i still prefer the OG as it seems more challenging ...

Bon Appétit!
The area behind the bar is now expanded and there is a far greater shootout.

You Lucky Bastard!
In the original, there were five assassination attempts on Sergio. But in the remake, there are only three.

Tommy, Paulie and Sam go to the plane, and Tommy shoots Morello to death, and Salieri saying "See you on the other side, Marcu", and the cutscene ends.
In the original you had 3 endings ...one you will see it after the original game is finished and the other is just very rare scenarios where you can kill Morello in the chase and without a scene you just have to return back to Salieri

In the original, the mission consisted of the plan and the robbery, whereas in the remake, the mission only consists of the robbery.

Comparison - The Death of Art [Side by Side]

Once again we have the liberty of freedoom ..as you can see my friend killed a side but yet an iconic character from mafia 1 and the missions still continues ..this thing would had been 100% sure mission failure in modern era of gaming. which one ?! well watch it and find out :)

The Death of Art
The mission begins in Tommy's home and he drives to see Paulie, whereas in the original it begins with a cutscene at Paulie's apartment.

Like the previous mission, the player is no longer given the option to go to Yellow Pete's for weaponry.
