Thanks for the suggestions everyone.
Also on that one screenshot with the character in the parking lot... looks like the guy is floating haha.
Thats weird yours looks significantly worse than mine...something fishy going on. Is that maxed out?
I posted a vid a few posts up from yours with my sweetfx profile.

I actually can't believe they made this look worse than mafia 2 and have it locked at 30 fps lol....

I can add SweetFX profiles to the OP if you all have one that you prefer from the many available

They haven't...I can't believe some of you are saying it looks worse than mafia 2. The textures aren't amazing but it's a decent step up from mafia 2 visually...and this coming from a fan of both Mafia 1 and 2.
30fps is rubbish and they need to fix it but either wait and don't buy/play it yet or deal with it and play the game. It's a tad boring reading post after post about it.
I'll post my 1440p vid again:

Depends how you look at it - Mafia 2 stylistically offset the texture quality, etc. to some degree though I always found it a bit blurry looking while the presentation in MF3 seems to exacerbate any let down in graphic quality - except for certain times of day when the lighting hides it a bit more.
It might be boring but IMO it can't be overstated just how poor having a 30fps lock in a game is.
Yeah, there's a good profile out there that colour corrects and removes the vaseline look. The textures aren't exactly high res, but they certainly look better without all that hazy blur. No idea why they thought that was good.

Need some help for those playing
Got Burke and Vito's missions but decided to go back and do the one for Cassandra, specifically the side mission for emmanuel. I've spoken to him in the dock and he mentioned the weed runs but I don't see a specific marker to actually do one...any idea where i need to go?
Had a look at sweetfx and as usual, most of them over saturate or/and over expose i.e. the blue sky/clouds definition will be lost.
K-putts config adds a bit of sharpness to the texture and gets rid of the smoggy look which helps a bit with textures but still not good enough imo. No doubt in the small little built up/town areas, the game will look lovely with all the lighting and crowds though.
This
Some stuff is better in mafia 3 i.e. the faces, animations but "overall" mafia 2 just looks better imo:
Could have got the game even better looking as well but sweetfx for older games doesn't play nice on w10
And this.
No idea how people stick 30 fps on PC.
It will certainly be interesting to see what fps gpus get when the fps is unlocked, I have a funny feeling that the performance is going to be rather disappointing...

lol @ headlights not appearing in rear view mirrors, along with all the other technical problems this really is a huge shower of **** at the moment.
We get it, do you even have the game? I notice you tend to do this in a lot of threads and decry the downfall of pc gaming or to criticise those who pre-ordered games. Surprised you haven't turned up in the Gears of War 4 thread to do the same (an excellent pc version fyi and a lot of fun for those looking to get it or a fan of GOW).
Anyway just so my question about the actual game doesn't get lost amongst the sea of 30fps/graphics posts...

I just tried a few different ReShade presets and couldn't get any to work at all. Error messages in red text as soon as the Splash screen appeared.
I think that is part of the problem - Mafia 2 it all kind of blended in - while Mafia 3 is a mix and stuff like high quality character models in some situations just stand out and highlight the contrast with surrounding areas that might be a bit ropey that in Mafia 2 would have been overlooked.
Yup I have the game:

Regardless of if I had the game or not, just like anyone on the internet, we are allowed to express our thoughts on how **** or good something is, we don't have to own/play the games to see how disappointing it is for graphics, bugs, optimisation etc. etc.
And yup, PC gaming is complete and utter **** now, how many games have we seen being released in a broken state now? deus ex, no mans sky, quantum break, FH 3, gears of wars remastered, batman AK , rottr and plenty more I could list and what's worse is graphics are barely any better than consoles these days... So we have people spending £500+ on "just" a GPU for a slightly better experience than console...
And yup again, pre-order is one reason why we get broken ass games now or outright lied to with false advertising, how about making the developers/publishers actually work for their money on making a quality game and then they can reap the benefits for their hard work when the project is finished, not before...
As for GOW the new one, I have no interest in the game, if it is a good port then great, it might actually be the second game to be released in a satisfactory state this year...
PS.
The game is getting a massive panning:

Yeah this is my concern too. I think there is a reason they went with 30 fps lock either:
- animations are locked to 30 as well
- the game isn't optimised well so we will be lucky to see fps close to 60...
Hopefully I am wrong but given how most recent aaa games perform with mediocre graphics, I won't be surprised if we see even 1070's barely touching 60 fps...
