So if you transfer progress from 1 & 2 over to 3, will achievements/trophies unlock automatically?

That is a stunning trailer. Music is beautiful and really strikes the tone for the conclusion to a series. Super excited to jump in and it's a joy how we'll have everything under one roof.

So the China level seems like it is one of the largest levels, while Carpathia is a small one? I'm kind of surprised that 3 of the locations never got an intro preview trailer.

Going back to H2 really reminded me about how great the support was. The escalations seem like a big improvement over H1's, and I'm reminded about how nice of a level Whittleton Creek is.

I just redownloaded Hitman 2 on steam to make sure I had an IOI account and I did not.

So anyone who wants to carry progress over should do that before starting Hitman 3, as you will lose all progress in Hitman 3 if you carry over your process after you started it.

My PS5 was downloading the PS4 version. WTF Sony - get this fixed!

In playing some of the levels in Hitman 1 and 2 (for the first time), I have come to realize just how big some of these locations are. I am really wishing I had the XSX Quick Resume so I could simply stop where I am and restart later (after those nasty work related Team meeting/interruptions). I may rebuy this game for my XSX if I can some how get my Hitman 1 and 2 progression moved over into the another system. Hopefully the IOI cloud stuff does something more than collect user information for marketing.

From what people have said, the Berlin level is absolutely massive, like the largest map ever made.

I just did the "McCallister Ransack" escalation on Whittleton Creek. Very challenging, and the time limits forced me to be a lot messier than I normally play. Are there other good "stealing shit" escalations?

Lol, just came to say same thing. I caught it when it had downloaded about a gigabyte, paused and deleted. Then went to store and initiated PS5 version. It did the same thing with AC Valhalla for me except I played it for like 3 days before realizing I was playing PS4. If I'm on a PS5, download the PS5 by default damnit.

I'm sure this will get hammered out with updates but it's mildly annoying for sure.

Preloaded the PS5 version. God I cannot wait for this game. I played 25 hours of H2 in the last two weeks because I'm so hyped.

Haha, the McCallister one is the exact one I was thinking of that seemed wildly beyond H1's escalations. I'm also interested in any that involve stealing items rather than having to go for kills.

With the Hitman 2 EGS mess being sorted, I'm pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition.
It is of questionable value, but I am an economic idiot who like these games a lot, wants the end of this trilogy to go out with some kind of pomp, and give a pat on the back to IOI for making these very fine games and also 007.

This will be my first hitman game on a console, does it have a quicksave function or something similar?

So the progress will carryover from 1 to 3? Because I don't remember it did from 1 to 2?

I've been trying to find out if there are any exclusive features or levels or whatnot between the console versions (beyond the VR stuff). Can't decide if I should grab this on PS5 or the Series X

I cant get It to preload correct version, any pointers? I choose The PS5 version under PS5 in game library, It points to and downloads The PS4 version. Same in store; choose The PS5 tab, It points to PS44 version. I am going crazy....

How much would it cost to buy 3 and then the map packs for the first two games? I'm assuming it's not $60 each for 1+2 right? The Xbox webstore is not helping me.

1) On Series X, do I need H1+2 installed for H3 to recognise I own the games, or is it account based? I'd very much like the space back so I can download H3!
2) I assume progress carryover can't be done from Steam to Series X still?

It seems that way at the moment. Cost me about 30 for 1 and 2 combined during November sales. So if I were you I'd wait as they'll come on sale again - I'm guessing they'd do something again soon after launch of Hitman 3.

Damn I've missed the 15 elusive target costume in Hitman 2 😩

Nothing special about it but I would had like to complete the challenge.

Sorry if this has been asked, but with the ps5 version, will it detect and allow me to download the 1 and 2 levels from within the game?

The game has manual saves with slots to use during missions.

The game also autosaves whenever you do anything useful, e.g. get a new disguise or complete an objective, but doesn't autosave once you've already got yourself in trouble...so that you dont get stuck with a bad or impossible save.

I tend to use the manual slots to track the main progress points through a mission, and then rely on autosaves to cover any situations where something goes very wrong, very quickly, and I didn't see it coming.

It's about as forgiving as it can be. On console it doesn't take too.long to save, and you can carry on as you were. Loading takes...like 20 seconds or something (for hitman 2 on am xsx) so it's not too painful to reload a situation 3 or 4 times to try and really nail a manuevre.

Well it really seems to be some kind of raytracing here.. I will post some screens later but i'm convinced the reflections are raytraced.
Planar reflections essentially renders parts the game a 2nd time : inside the reflection: The previous game uses them on the last gen machines , for mirrors and on glass surfaces (such as the pool area in Hawkes bay) The trailer shows them being used on floors in Dubai and on the external areas of the building too.

Ah ok, thanks for the info. I meant to get them on sale but I forgot about them. I'll look for a sale in the future for sure.

I'm disappointed that they took out the electrocution phone. Setting up electrocution hits could always be hit or miss, since it was sometimes unclear what bodies of water counted, and there weren't always electrical sources nearby. Oh well, at least the remote taser is still in.

So the progress will carryover from 1 to 3? Because I don't remember it did from 1 to 2?
Only if you completed the Hitman 1 content in Hitman 2. If you only have Hitman 1, but not 2, you can't transfer your progress to 3. More details in their pre-launch guide: https://www.ioi.dk/hitman-3-pre-launch-guide/

Quick question:

I'm currently working my way through hitman 1 in hitman 2. If I import into 3, will my progress carry forward?

it didn't when I imported 1 into 2, and 2 kept saying I needed to do the intro stuff again. Just wondering if I should basically stop playing now and play through all the games from inside 3

Yes. Progress made inside Hitman 2 will carry over.

I have 2 and the legacy pack but I didn't replay those because I already invested time in H1 when it was first released, that's why I'm wondering if I can transfer from H1 to H2 first then to H3 ?

Edit: ok then, with H1 on its own you will not be able to transfer your progress

Okay... I've watched this launch trailer like 4 times in a row.
