Family. Power. Respect. Today we learned why the official Mafia Twitter account tweeted out those three words over the past couple of days, as 2K released a teaser trailer for Mafia: Trilogy. Update: A listing on the Xbox Marketplace for Mafia: Definitive Edition has appeared, complete with screenshots and an August 28 release date.
With a grand reveal planned for May 19, there’s not a lot of information in the teaser trailer for Mafia: Trilogy. We’ve got logos for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam, and the Epic Games Store, so we know what platforms the collection is coming to. As far as how much of a remaster the games are getting, we’ll have to wait until next Tuesday to find out.
Update 5/13 12:10 PM: A listing for Mafia: Definitive Edition has appeared on the Xbox Marketplace. Here’s the official description, which mentions Mafia II and Mafia III definitive editions as well.

DISCUSSION
This could be interesting, if they gave it a graphics upgrade (well, everything but 3, since that came out this gen I think) and fixed bugs like the race from 1.
As much as I love games that do this, they usually are doing just the bare minimum to get the game running on the new console so lots of graphical issues (usually lighting) and an overall dated look. I understand that it takes a considerable amount of time and resources to make the port but I wonder if they are ever worth the effort?
