Differences between Definitive Edition and original 2002

For starters: Paulie and Sam's full names are revealed: Paulie Lombardo and Sam Trapani. Tommy doesn't lose his job and has no other choice, but is swayed to join the Salieri family. Sam tells Tom to spare Michelle because she's a good woman. Morello's full name is Marcu Morello. It's never really implied that Frank broke the omertà, just that Tommy has to investigate what happened with the accounting books.

Also, the diamonds which were unveiled in the original were a cover up for Drugs. Which is more sensible in analogy. Tommy is shown to be more ruthless. And is revealed to be a Capo in 1935'.And tommy has a son as well. Jack Morales Garcia (talk) 07:49, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Vito and Joe in the ending

Regardless of disagreements about the description of the ending in the plot synopsis, I think Vito and Joe being named needs to stick. They were well established as characters for a decade by the time this remake came out, and Vito is explicitly named in the subtitles when he speaks his lines of dialogue in Mafia: Definitive Edition. It's clearly them, and the fact it is them is very important, even if their last names don't need to be mentioned. A simple highlighted link to the Mafia II article with the words "two men" simply does not work, and will just confuse people just learning about the series who haven't yet played Mafia II but are considering starting with this game. This is welcome to be discussed and debated as always among fellow editors, but I think I've made my case for why Vito and Joe need to be named in this article, as opposed to the article for the original 2002 Mafia where Vito and Joe had not yet been established as significant characters or even given names yet.

While I agree that they are important, we know who they are only because they had a story all to themselves in Mafia II. Hell, they even have the same clothes that they often wore. Tommy doesn't.

And by your logic, people starting with the 2002 original would be confused as to who the hell these 'two men' are also. JustAnotherNZWikipedian (talk) 12:50, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
