cpu power does matter for future proofing.
If the gameplay and story are nearly as good as the first Mafia, this game has to be a blast...
It's like being on freaking Chicago several decades ago and everything seems to be "alive". Makes me wanna game again ...
As long as the story is good like someone else posted, this game will be great. Mafia is easily in my top 20 games of all time list.
