Very Knives Out. Looks like a great idea for a level.

 

Also, the game is now exclusive on PC to the Epic Game Store for the 1st year. Apparently all unlocks/progress from Hitman 2 on Steam will carry over to 3. They don't say how, but it will probably involve creating an account and giving IOI all your personal information.

 

After how quickly Hitman 2 fell in price, I'm inclined to wait at least a year - until it's out on multiple stores and all the DLC is out, then buying it wherever's cheapest.

epic exclusive, meh. Still have to beat the first two anyway

[DANGERMAN]

at least Epic aren't doing any anti-consumer practices ?

[DisturbedSwan]

Cool exclusive for Epic to get, I do worry it'll affect sales a bit on PC though. As IOI are now independent and the last two haven't sold tremendously well I would've imagined they would like all the sales they can get.

 

But yeah, I won't be getting it on PC as my PS5 will (hopefully) run things better once this comes out.

I can wait. I have all the time in the world.

Probably doesn't matter if they sell any, now they've got that Epic cash.

True, they supposedly support independent devs very well.

i'm happy to buy it from epic but it depends on the price, got the other 2 around launch for about £25 each iirc, so also happy to wait for the price to come down if needed.

IOI details next-gen upgrade for Hitman 3. Free upgrade from PS4 (digital only), Xbox uses Smart Delivery

I didn't even manage to finish 1. I really want to get to them at some point though, I'm thinking that'd be an excellent stream game for me since the sandbox nature leads to lots of fucking about.

[one-armed dwarf]

Yes please stream it, these are excellent games. Criminally overlooked commercially.

 

Thank god they turned it around after Absolution, but they've still to really see some good sales figures on these post Blood Money games.

Yeah I’d definitely watch you stream it if you did. I think there’s a version of Hitman 2 that includes all of 1’s maps you could pick up, 2 birds with 1 stone and all that.

I have all this stuff, I just need to do it.

So I've got Hitman 1 on EGS, and Hitman 2 on Steam (via humble), so I assume from reading the above link, I can't get the legacy maps in H2, as I'm not using Steam for H1, does that sound correct @Craymen Edge (or anyone else)

 

EDIT: I googled it, you can't, so Q2

Yeah, I guess you'd need both games on Steam. The FAQ says you can buy the legacy pack DLC if you don't have the first game (it was free if you owned the first), but it's £16. If you really wanted the levels all in one place, it would probably be more cost effective to buy a key for HITMAN GOTY from somewhere like CDKeys.

Entire series will be playable in VR

 

 

 

Seems cool except for the part where it's PSVR exclusive

 

VR exclusivity isn't the thing you need when you're trying to grow this platform. If it ever comes to PC it seems like it could be fun.
