Hitman 3 Deluxe is really only 4 bucks more than the vanilla version (with PS+)? Lol, well that's a no-brainer.

While simplying versions for Hitman 3 is a good idea, i still think a 'trilogy edition' with all content would've been sensible.
Good ratings in missions are tied to the knowledge of knowing everything from each location, which is easy to understand with exploration without disguises and then with each level of disguise. (Scout the area first and then try something else, else just restart the mission because few of the events are time related)
Fastest way to get better is to try Escalation missions in training 1, challenges in training 2 and then in Paris. After that you get the hang of it and should be breezing in normal missions thereafter.
Bought the first two a couple days ago. Got through the first and though it wasn't very long I enjoyed the hell out of the game. Just finished the mission at the race track in Miami in #2. Seriously loving the amount of options the player has to complete missions. Had no idea these games were so fun. Thanks for the recommendation. Great story too.
Yeah I imagine it'll come, if there aren't any missions as dlc it is surprising they wouldn't do it now as a good jump in point. Not sure they've said anything about dlc.
Oh, the game is long.
Try completing all the challenges, especially the ones without changing disguises.
I'm hoping they formally do a blog on it this week.. I'm in the same position so fingers crossed!
I have the Hitman 2 legacy pack installed in the menu with the free version of Hitman 2. Is this same thing as Hitman 2 goty legacy pack upgrade?
Edit:. Looks like it bumps up base Hitman to Hitman GOTY, which has a couple of extra missions, which is currently not on sale and only a couple dollars cheaper than Hitman goty all in.

Miami is such a great mission, especially in terms of options.
Doesn't seem to be an error, its the same on the Canadian store with the PS5 version being cheaper. I contacted support and they said getting the PS5 version will also grant access to the PS4 version, so it doesn't look like there's any reason to get the PS4 Digital Deluxe over the PS5 version. I'll pre-order the PS5 version just in case they reduce the discount but I'll probably wait to download it until there's more confirmation so I won't have problems getting a refund.Deluxe is 10% off for PS4 and 20% off for PS5 right now. Error?
So I originally played the first hitman episodically on pc and never played any of the stuff they added to the original game and never touched 2. Instead of going steam and egs I just went all in and bought all of 1&2 gold / special edition stuff on ps5 to catch up on 2 before jumping into 3. I've bought and downloaded everything free from the ps store can I just jump into 2 and play all the main and extra stuff from 1? Do I need all of 1 downloaded to play the stuff in 2? Sorry probably been covered here but just riding the hype wave of 3 and feel like sneaking around and getting into some hitman antics.
I'm playing through it for the first time right now and would say no. It's 4 mini missions reusing existing maps but not to the same extent as the 3 bonus episodes they released for Hitman 1. There's a couple of decent twists the formula in there and it's nice to see a couple of the levels at night but it's more of a 'cool if you get it as part of the GOTY edition' thing than something worth spending $12 on on its own I think.
do we know if Hitman 1 progress within the Hitman 2 client carries over to 3? or just Hitman 2 progress?
If you have Hitman 1+2, then the GOTY Upgrade Legacy Pack might be on sale on the PS Store right now since the main games are on sale: https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP4572-CUSA12421_00-HITMANSTANDARD00
It also frequently goes on sale on Steam for as little as $2 USD, which is a great price for the content. It's basically 3 remixes of existing maps plus a sniper map. One of the levels has extremely clever, unique mechanics, and was some of the most fun I've had getting SASO on a level.
Yes. Patient Zero has one of the craziest twists on any mission ever. I highly recommend it if you like Hitman.
Picked Hitman 2 up on Xbox side to see how it plays on a console, since I might stick to consoles with my games for the near future.
Only played each level once on the PC, so it is neat to revisit the game. Miami is such an insane level.
Too bad the rest isn't on sale.

"Not only will it be a conclusion to the reboot 'World of Assassination' trilogy started with 2016's Hitman, but it'll also allow players to import locations from the last two games. On top of that, you'll also be able to carry over Hitman 2 unlocks and progression to the sequel."
i imagine hitman 1 unlocks made in hitman 2 will carry over. of not then it doesnt really matter since many of the h2 unlocks are similar to the h1 unlocks.
the h2 unlocks are basically the same as the h1 unlocks anyway.
It says unlocks, not locations. So locations from 1 can come over.
I haven't played Hitman since the PS2 days. I found them difficult but I was much younger at the time and didn't get how to do pure stealth. A lot of it was frustrating too. However the Metal Gear Solid series quickly became one of my favourite games. I also enjoyed the later Splinter Cell games were more my speed and I began to enjoy pure stealth.
Any idea if these games are worth it for me or should I wait for a deeper sale with all 3? What's a good pitch on these games?

For anyone who is playing 1/2 before 3 releases, I recommend grabbing these since they will greatly help as starting weapons/items.
Krugermeier 2-2 : (The quietest pistol in the game and great for luring/distracting guards.) Bangkok Mastery 20
Electronic Key Hacker/Scrambler : (Hack electronically locked doors(3 uses)) Isle of Sgàil Mastery 7 or Colorado Mastery 15

if u didnt like the old games then i think you should wait for a deep sale or play the hitman 2 miami demo
You can play both Hitman and Hitman 2 introductory levels for free.
"Frustrating" is not a word I'd use to describe Hitman. You can save at any point and reload your save whenever you want. Things going bad usually creates some fun and tense moments. Play the free levels and see if you like them. This really is the best game to come out in the last decade. It's not even close.
really glad they kept this as confusing as possible lol
imma just wait 10 days before playing - i finished Paris and Sapienza on PC years ago but am gonna start from the beginning on PS5
Any unlocks made in H2 client (base game + DLC + Legacy) will be available in H3.
Many thanks for the input. I'm currently replaying Paris for the ¿4th? time and I've decided to set the Opportunities to "Minimal" for the time being until a get a good grasp of all the mechanics in play in such a large map like this (will turn them off once I move onto Sapienza). I also have to say that I'm officially hooked to this game, now every moment I'm not playing I'm just planning in my head how the next replay of the mission is gonna be lol It's so fucking good.
Regarding unlockable items/locations/suits, these are only linked to mastery levels and specific challenges, am I right? Besides doing them for fun, is there any point in completing all challenges of a level if I already reached mastery lvl 20 and unlocked all challenge-related items?
You were able to play Hitman 1 in Hitman 2 so that progress will carry over. If you're thinking about the H1 launcher from 2016, then yea, that progress won't carry over.
I know it's "only" 1440p, but Hitman 2 looks so much better on PS5 than on my 980 Ti. I can't imagine how good it'll look at native 4K :o
Yeah, but progress made in Hitman (16) in the Hitman 2 client will carry over as well. So while it's technically only from H2, it's for both games in there.
