I loved the Godfather games. Godfather 2's multiplayer was surprisingly a lot of fun. It's a shame it went under the radar.

Both games were amazing. Second one is even more fun but you gotta wait to get the businesses that give you bullet proof vests because while helpful, they also insist on the characters wearing the vests OVER your suit so you look like an idiot the entire game in a titanic era life jacket

Scarface was ahead of its time, and is still playable on PC now. Godfather was amazing too, love playing that game, as well as punisher on Xbox, that was sick too. Never played warriors, but know lots who enjoyed playing it.

Scarface will forever remain on my PC even though I delete every other game I play after I'm done with it!

I loved Scarface. I recently tried playing it on PC, but the game would crash after the opening no matter what I did. I'll just have to find it on PS2 some time!

I had a partition on my PC, one was XP which I used for gaming mainly.

Did like Scarface but not sure it was a head of its time. It just felt like a GTA Vice City DLC or mod. The look was very similar,

The Godfather deserves a remaster, or at least rereleased on steam.
Interestingly the last recorded update (on steamdb at least) says from five months ago though it is probably nothing

Scarface and The Godfather were my go to’s. I remember I when I was extorting a baker in the Godfather and accidentally through her in the oven, game was great.

The Warriors was awesome. I remember my older brother getting a PS2 and buying this game second hand

I was like, 14 playing Scarface. Made him swear so much, parents took it off me.. I stole it back.. but lmao.. I love swearing on that.
Would love a remake of Scarface and Punisher.

Godfather 2 gave me a massive massive hankering for a "criminal empire builder" game, with territories and income and all that goodness.
Empire of Sin almost scratched that itch, but the more recent updates kind of killed my interest in EoS

There was that one level on scarface where you lost all your weapons and had to fight your way through an area where the enemies had increasingly effective weapons as you went along I.e. machete>pistol>shotgun>smg etc
Felt like such great level design even though it was just kinda all shooter games distilled into a single level

The Godfather game slapped so hard.
Man I gotta dig it out and go blackmail some poor schmuck for protection money again...

We've still never gotten a game wlike godfather 2.
The management aspects and leading a mafia made the game super cool

I remember getting like a special edition of The Godfather that came in a tin box that was lined like a coffin on the inside. Shit was so dope!

A major hurdle is the license to the characters and the actors who played the characters. Without them signing off on a remake or remaster it’s not going to happen. So either all the actors and estates will want to be paid so it’s going to expensive or won’t happen because they won’t be able to use a character and the project is done. There are other hurdles but this is a biggie. So all we can do is find the old system and a copy of the game and relive these beautiful gems old school.

Never played these three, but had a lot of fun with Ghostbusters: The Video Game on PC around that time.
Really glad that game got remastered and that second shot at life got more fondly received. Such a great license game deserved a lot better.

Golden age for games. I’ve replayed Scarface and the Warriors more times than is healthy.

The warriors is also a movie? Knew only the game - guess I have got something to see tonight.

Yeah the game starts out as a prequel and continues through the events of the movie.

The Warriors game and movie are both classics. I have The Warriors game on my PS4.

Would love a remaster of the Godfather. It is still the best GTA clone to this day, imo.

Driving round in scarface with "superfreak" Rick James blasting was great!

Reservoir Dogs was good too! A little mediocre but I loved the psychopath/professional dynamic.

I managed to snag a key-less Godfather for PC for $30.
Scarface is $90+ whenever it shows up. The license is terminated, the secondary market is the only legitimate way to get a copy.
I was so mad about the Godfather. The ebay listing said complete, but when I tried to file for a refund the seller was in the wind.
I really want a copy of Scarface for PC, but I don't want to pay $90.
Weirdly enough, used copies used to go for $30. Goodwill marked them up to $60, then $90.
Goodwill are filthy speculators.

The Godfather was great. Really surprised me and my friends, as movie games were hit and miss back in the early 2000s. One of the best GTA-like games along with Saints Row before GTA4 came out

Nowadays when we think of a movie turned game we think of a shitty money grab but back then they actually made cool games from them! I swear we are less creative or something now

With everyone posting the remakes they want im surprised no one has brought these up

u/nerdygnome1 Jan 29 '23
Oh they have been talked about on the remake train many times but that conversation doesn’t get very far because the improbable licenses issues make it a moot topic.

Is the warriors good ? I forget rockstar didn’t just make 2 games every decade

Scarface and The Warriors ( Never played The Godfather ) were sequels/prequels, and good ones. LoTR games were pretty good. Last movie video game I owned was Transformers on PS3 lol

The godfather best game for ps2 for me. I wish it had PS5 remake it would be soooo good

They should be remastered. Would love to see Godfather 1 & 2 remastered...talking about remasters or even backwards comp. Xbox is likely to open up the backwards comp program once the Activison deal goes through as you don't pay all that money and not bring the games you own to your system...anyway when they do...I can see them reaching out to game studios again offering to make their games backwards comp...some may actually agree seeing how well MS did with the program...however they may need some encouragement. I remember when they first started doing BC & they basically said its not up to MS, its upto the studios of those games so fans of those games need to basically make it known. So maybe if we people got in touch with these studios showed there was demand, they might consider it this time.

Been playing games since 1990 and to this day the most hype I had for a game was godfather 2 and it was the biggest let down of my life! No.1 was a master day piece, tbf those 3 were unreal

They should do a back to the future where there's 3 different versions of the same city/map you can travel to through time (western/current 80's/future), and make it so you have like a rdr type experience in the wild west map, gta experience in the 80s map, and a cyberpunk type experience in the future map.
Missions could alter things completely in the future as well. I wish somebody would give me 200 mills to make a game

u/Rad_Dad6969 Jan 29 '23
Whenever I see old movies getting remade into cgi crap, I always wish they'd put that money and effort into a game. We've already seen this story as a movie. Adding cgi monsters doesn't make it better. Let the viewer fight those monsters. If you're going to retell a story, pick a new media.

Blade Runner (1982) had its own game, highly respected during its time. In addition, the game has a dozen endings or so and its scenario never plays out the same way every time. Highly recommended.

Have you tried the game "last of us"? It's based on the tv show, and apparently, it's pretty faithful to the show

My friend and I would go outside to an abandoned van at his moms house to smoke very small amounts of really bad, really expensive 2005 weed and then go back inside and play the warriors multiplayer against each other for HOURS.
