Big general tip for everyone https://www.hitmaps.com/ is a insanely good resource for Hitman. They have interactive maps for every single level in the World of Assassination Trilogy.

I'm so ready. I don't wanna watch anymore footage, I just can't wait to experience the new maps.
Despite me not really putting in much time to either 1 or 2, I'm probablyyyy going to pick this one up hah.
Trying to decide where to get it. I could always use more games on my new consoles (XSX/PS5), but also I have 1 on PC from when it was free. Do we know if there's anything cool happening on the PS5 with the Dualsense?

I'd like to also point out Hitman Roulette. Even after you complete the absolutely exhaustive amount of content across the games, this site keeps things fresh by setting infinite new challenges for the main missions.
Looking forward to biting into the old as new maps in this game. I did play first three maps of hitman (2016) and I think like two of Hitman 2.
But I'll finally play them now as I'm in a mood for more Hitman after getting the platinum in Blood Money and Absolution in about two weeks after buying the games on the January Sale on PSN.

It'll be a post launch thing for PC. Not sure if consoles are confirmed yet.
After thinking of buying it for a while I think I'm gonna pass on this one, at least until it's on sale. For some reason these games just give me quite noticeable anxiety, and buying Hitman 2 at launch showed that off quite well. It's the combination of stealth gameplay, the "make your own fun," challenge-style, and the FOMO of Elusive Contracts that does it, I think. Just doesn't lend itself well to a calm gaming experience lol
I'm not sure if it has been said, but they have updated materials to accept SSR and there is already visible extensive use of planar reflections: so perhaps a big chunk of the groundwork has already been done. There will be lots of people that call out those things as RT no doubt anyway
Yeah it's fantastic, it feels like a series that has had more than it's fair share of lives, I'm so please that IO believe it it enough they keep making more.
Its been an interesting arc for the franchise. Its been weird playing Hitman for like at this point TWENTY years and finally seeing it ascend to this point where its finally breaching the mainstream.
So, I haven't played any of the modern Hitman games. I also just bought a PSVR for no real good reason and own a PS5.
If I buy this on PS5 and buy Hitman 1 and 2 through 3 I will be able to play all 3 games in PSVR through backcompat mode *and* will get the better running version of 3 on PSVR, is that right?

Part of me wants to get this as I've been playing Hitman since the first, but for some reason I haven't been too into the reboots.
I play the levels and its real difficult for me to go back in and replay them, gorgeous games but for some reason they haven't been very satisfying.

I'm not sure about the VR stuff, but you would import your ownership of the levels and just play the entire trilogy within 3. Each game is a 'platform' for all the stages. The versions in 3 will run and look better, and if they support VR that's where they'd do it.
Great OT.
Excited for more Hitman. I played 2 like it was episodic, only 1 map a month. Don't know if I'll do the same here.
Either way, my PS5 is set up for the automatic preload. I have no idea if it will download the PS4 or PS5 version though since the console is really bad at surfacing that information. Might be in for a surprise when I wake up tomorrow.

I hope the HDR is good in this. Really liked it in 2 even though it could be quite fiddly for it to kick in properly.
Congrats to you and the team on the launch and the release of what is one of the best trilogies in recent years!
I followed the other thread and I got H1+H2 with DLC downloaded and ready for part 3. One question remains...
Should I wait till Wednesday to play H1 and H2 in H3? Or should I play H1 in H2? Are the changes that significant to wait till Wednesday?

I feel like at this point you may as well wait because we are so close, they arent going to be completely different games but may as well wait 2-3 days for what are probably going to be the best versions. up to you tho on the other hand no better way to prep for hitman 3 then the amazing hitman 1 and 2
yes it's quicker and you can drag the character immediately which can make it easier to hide the body
my hype for this game is going through the roof. almost there.
these are fantastic. thanks for the links, y'all.
btw has it been said if Hitman 3 will be receiving DLC? or is it a wrap for the trilogy once this drops and then on to 007 IO go
Silent so far, they are talking like this is the complete deal but honestly, I fully expect DLC depending on how the launch goes. But this is common for any game; if it's successful enough, DLC gets greenlit. IOI has two studios and I doubt they are at the point where it's all-hands-on-deck to support 007. I would guess new maps are the least likely, but again, anything is possible.
Super important to note that IO is really tiny in comparison to most Triple A studios especially after their layoffs. I would expect them to move as fast as they can to get everyone onto 007 aside from a small team that is doing elusive targets and escalations.
Now that Epic and IOI have both pledged to incorporate our purchased content on Steam into this game instead of requiring it to be repurchased, I've preordered the game.
If you wait a little bit, no need to know:
(well, if you don't have H2, it may be a really damn good offer though lol)
I can't remember where I read/heard it now but I'm almost positive IOI have said they won't be releasing any new maps as DLC but they will release some bonus missions that are more along the lines of those in Hitman 1 (The Icon etc).
I'm totally fine with that honestly, I really liked the more bite-sized feel of those missions and how they utilised areas of the maps that didn't really get a workout in the main missions.

I have Hitman 1 and 2 on Playstation 4
And I bought a Xbox Series... what do you think is better, buying Hitman 3 on PS4 so as to have my progression from the 2 previous games
Or buying Hitman 3 on Xbox Series, with (I guess) faster loading screens ?

Yeah I don't have Hitman 2, so if the 80% off is a good price that certainly will be a tempting way to play it. Did get Hitman 1 when it was free on EGS.
I played the first two on PC recently and really enjoyed them. Gonna wait for some performance impressions, but I think I'm gonna get this on the PS5 if it runs at a stable 60fps. Don't really care about importing the earlier games' content to it, I just want to do the new missions.
My TCL p605 just died on me so this is where I'm at...but I'll still probably be too impatient to wait and just play it on my 27 inch monitor :P
I have invested an absolutely absurd amount of time into this series. IO is a goat dev imo, I hope H3 does really well for them. I know the series has never done big numbers but I think they'll be fine regardless now that they have the Bond franchise to play with. Match made in heaven, that.
I had plenty of time with H2 but wasn't as wowed by the maps outside Miami, Mumbai, and Isle of Sgail. The ones in 3 look amazing from what we've seen so far, that English manor level in particular giving me flashbacks to Contract's Beldingford Manor, one of the best!
Any deals on Hitman 2 Gold Edition for the Xbox, or what's the cheapest way to get the extra DLC levels? I bought the base game at launch and completely forgot that more levels were released later.
So in about an hour? Or different preload time despite worldwide simultanous release?
I haven't preordered Hitman 3 so I'm not 100% sure but It's PS store's standard for preloading to start 48 hours before the launch (unlock).
Wait, is there a graphical/gameplay improvement in Hitman 2 if playing it through the Hitman 3 client? If I import by Hitman 2 data into 3 on the Series X will it give me any improvements apart from being able to seamlessly play those Hitman 2 missions from Hitman 3?
