Which would you say was your favourite?
Having to wait a day after hearing this..
are there ps5/xsx features? i thought those will come later via patch?
i just hope it runs at a locked 60 fps, like hitman 1+2 on ps5...

I got into it in my review. They're all so great, but I'm partial to Berlin, not because of the location but because of your targets. More info in the review.
This game seems like it was destined for a big finish. It also feels like some of these scores are almost like a Martin scorsese make good for underrating the rilogy
Congrats to IO, I really need to make time and fully playthrough Hitman 1 and 2, had them both since launch, but haven't finished either yet, despite really enjoying them.
The story in the new World of Assassination trilogy is kind of mediocre and simple, don't worry. The plot is not the focus.
If you're on PS, you can get the first for under $40. Sale ends tomorrow.
not sure if i like this. the levels in season 2 are HUGE, sometimes too much so. if the levels in 3 are even bigger, it might get too overwhelming for me.
As a finale on a trilogy, those get higher expectations than just another Hitman game. There are rarely very consistently great trilogies in videogames (and film and other mediums). I'm glad to hear it seems they capped off the trilogy really well.
Good lord, how the hell did you mission the last two Hitman games? They're brilliant.
I agree, bigger and more complicated is not always necessarily better - Hokkaido is testament to this. But screw it, IO said they wanted to go out big and throw everything at the wall for 3, and it looks like they followed through.
I'm looking forward to wandering around each map for 2 hours before deciding what to do.
Reviews compare and judge their genre and modern game standards, not all games as a whole. Also, its better to compare the publication and not the aggregate.
Comparing this to cyberpunk is simply foolish. Be smart like me and agree with this comparison:
Great review, really enjoyed it! Very excited to see all of the interesting characteristics of the missions you mention. Agree with the difficulty enhancements you suggest as well; they would be good to see added post-launch.
If you think that way and see what gta 4 got, we should see games scoring 12/10 all the time :)
The whole Karak/ACG Black Chamber ban, CP2077 drama starts from here.
CDPR is a transphobic company. It's time we stop making excuses for them.
I couldn't find the statement before, but now I see that it even says "text-only thread" and not even "text-only post". So not only was the limitation of text only thrown out, it was broken by the staff in the second post of the thread. I know I'm just one voice, but I personally find them...

Interesting, figured it would review worse because it is iterative but the levels must be that good.

Oh trust me me I know they don't really get used to compare games. I just couldn't help but notice the score and it made me think how over inflated the Cyberpunk score is purely off hype and the media circlejerk. Off topic but I'm genuinely surprised most haven't adjusted theirs for 2077 as they're basically all lies.
On topic though, reviews or not I'm gonna be playing this game all gen. Id give the last two an 11 out of 10 if I could and can't wait to get back in. The lack of midnight release is gonna be killer

Until a more detailed analysis arrives, both run the same. Locked 60fps, I suppose 4K.
Great reviews but not having money to buy the game on launch is such a bummer :( fuckkkkkkkkkkkk FOMO.
Congrats to IO! 007 will be amazing.

I think Skyfall launched Bond into a different level of cultural interest. A Bond game is going to sell gangbusters.
How are the DualSense features? Does the game use activities on the PS5 in any significant way?
As someone from Berlin, I'm super glad to hear that! Super excited for tomorrow.
Good review and shame about the AI on the highest diff. On the one hand it just avoids the need to restart when deep into a mission after flubbing something that calls for an alert, on the other it breaks immersion when the AI just forgets an intrusion and doesn't escalate security or protections.
The series should enforce new layers of challenge if the player is identified. Hiding in a bush for a couple min and resuming as if nothing happened on the highest diff is kind of bleh indeed.
I'm a huge fan of the Dishonored games (and Deus Ex, Metal Gear etc.) but I couldn't get into the Hitman series at first. On paper they sound kind of similar (great level design, very open, lots of player agency etc.), but they are designed and play very differently. Dishonored is more "linear" in progression, meaning you usually explore the level, look for upgrades, incapacitate a lot of guards, loot as much as possible, eliminate the target and then move on to the next mission.
Hitman is more about finding ways to get close to your target and eliminate it without causing a stir, while tackling specific challenges and gradually learning and puzzling pieces about the characters, routines and events together. Afterwards you replay that mission and use your new knowledge and stuff you unlocked along the way (like a different starting location, costume, loadout or in Hitman 3 also permanent shortcuts) to find an entirely different way to approach the target, learn and unlock even more stuff which opens up even more possibilities etc., until you know all the intricacies of that mission/location. Of course you can still start the next mission after killing a target once, but that's not exactly what the game is about. Overall I'd say it's a bit more meticulous and slow-paced than Dishonored, but you should definitely give it a try if you think you can adapt to that mindset. It can feel overwhelming at first, but there are things like mission stories which can help you ease into the experience.
