one-armed dwarf Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 PC people will have to buy Hitman 2 again to be able to carry over the old levels. https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-pre-launch-guide/ I remember getting asked before why I would double dip on a steam game after Epic exclusivity ends, lol. Well this is the opposite case of than then. Tbf, H2 is 80% off and seems like IO are trying to make things as fair as possible. But it is still a bit shit. They did say it would be free before I think Hitman 1 is free if you pre order but it's a bit confusing how all this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 You get the levels from the previous game free if you own it on the same store, otherwise you can buy the 'Legacy Pack' DLC for either/both of the previous game's stages. Going EGS exclusive has messed it up, because they have Hitman 2016 and Hitman 3 on the store, but for some reason, not Hitman 2. The 80% discount is for the access pack dlc. I'm still feeling I might as well wait a year+ on this for exclusivity to end, and shop around for a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 It's fine, the big pay off they get from EPIC will cover them. Wait a year. If it doesn't cover them, well well done on making another huge blunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 I did have it pre-ordered for ages but finances are tight at the moment so will pick it up when I get paid a week later. I still haven’t finished all the Hitman 2 missions though, need to get back to that before I make a start on this. Got up to the Bombay mission.

spatular Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 ^ Thats good to know (ive got the previous ones on steam). I do want to get this but its more the price putting me off, maybe cheap pc games are coming to an end and ive been spoiled in the past, i guess ill get used to it eventually.

one-armed dwarf Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Yea sort of sounds like whatever backend service they need to get steam and epic accounts to talk to each other fell behind, nothing necessarily malicious on IO or Epic's end I am guessing they won't have this worked out before release, anyway at least I can save some money. I'll probably just jump straight from 1 to 3. Not bothered about the story anyway, it's all about the Hitman-ing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craymen Edge Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I wonder if Warner Bros. are the hold-up here. They published Hitman 2, after SquareEnix and IO parted ways following Hitman 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Epic still don't allow preloads. Really terrible store. Excited but I'll have to leave my computer on all night to download on my crap connection edit cant even start download until tomorrow afternoon, so not sure I will get to play on release just yet. What is the point of an epic pre-order lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Once Hitman 3 goes live and the transfer process is complete I should be able to delete Hitman 2. Amazing that IO have managed to make the install of 3 half the size of Hitman 1+2, yet include all previous content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroed Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 https://youtu.be/iCcyYKpAsdM Quote Native 4K/60fps on Series X. One of the cleanest games they've seen. 1800p/60fps on PS5 1080p/60fps on Series S. Series X has Ultra Textures and High Shadows. PS5 has Ultra Textures and Medium Shadows. Series S has High Textures and Low Shadows. Framerate is close to perfect on all platforms, with a few exceptions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 Great to see IOI have done their homework, seems a fantastic game on all systems. Native 4K on XSX is impressive, apparently is a little framier than the PS5 though. Need to finish H2 before I get round to this but I think it’ll be my first Feb purchase once I get paid.

one-armed dwarf Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Out of every game I've played I feel like the Hitman games are the smoothest playing ones while also looking pretty good. They are really underappreciated, technically speaking. That Paris level in the first game with the fashion show is still hugely impressive.

retroed Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think there is only one spot that it dropped below 60fps in Digital Foundry's time with Hitman 3, and it went to 55 for a couple seconds. Definitely an impressive feat no matter what platform you're playing on. I just wish I could get the progression carryover to work, I'm itching to start the game.
