Hitman 3 the first 5 minutes of the opening Dubai mission││┃┃┃│┃┃││

Have we seen confirmation of that? Rather, that ONLY that works? It's been a very common question on the hitman reddit and I've never seen a firm answer. New generations mean people switching ecosystems, so it's a pretty relevant question.
Yes, there is a PS5/XSX version, I don't know what the differences will be.
This won't happen for a variety of reasons including platform holders not allowing it. Microsoft and especially Sony (due to market dominance) want their cut of the content sales.
They have mentioned RT but that it will come after launch. I would assume PC highest settings at launch with a 60 FPS mode offered as well.
There are plenty of games that work that way these days, especially cross gen.
Sony, for example, is going to lose my sale if they don't allow it, since I would buy it there for dualsense + vr someday otherwise.Not if I can't transfer my HM1 and 2 though
Ubisoft has done it with a number of their titles. It's definitely possible to do.
It's smaller in the scheme of things, but I hope there's menu navigation improvements this time round.
With all of 47's available and unlocked arsenal carrying over, having horizontal scrolling for starting location selections and inventory items would be a tragic conclusion to the trilogy.
Would've liked to have seen more non-stealth expansions to the sandbox's mechanics like dual-wielding pistols and human shields, but I'm mostly looking forward to the finished package.

That footage looked great! Congrats to the team. Do you plan to add Ray tracing support for next gen consoles in the future?
Grab the first two in this trilogy if you can. IO have really nailed the formula down. The first one is amazing, and the second somehow improves on it with just some minor touches in gameplay. Honestly one of the gems of the previous gen, and I'm pretty confident that this one will continue that for the new gen.
That's how it already works with hitman 1/2 , I would assume they are using the same setup.
Hiya, sorry for quoting you but I just want to make sure I've understood.
Are you saying that the maps WILL unlock across platforms via an ioi account? I'm trying to reconcile the bit after the hyphen with the bit before...but I think I'm missing something.
It doesn't currently and I doubt it will given we know Sony's general feelings on cross-whatver.
H16 and H2 maps are confirmed to be able to transfer from Steam into EGS.
Ok, that's what I thought, thanks for clarifying and keep up the great work!
I go a bit soft at the knees for a good hdr heat map :)
This will be incredible. I think Hitman 1 & 2 and all the content is already over 100gb.
I wonder if they have consolidated the first 2 games into single downloads rather than episodes- there must be a lot of duplication of data because they are all playable independently of what you have installed
Sort of. Biggest wins are because of data management and file structures and how we deliver the game so we could remove duplicate data. We also use newer and better compression for textures - that helps too.
Can't wait! I've always found the games really visually impressive and I love the continuing support for the old episodes. Paris is still a favorite of mine.
When I played hitman I would have so much fun and then end up frustrated. I hope there's a mode for total scrubs that don't play shooter type games. I know it's supposed to be stealth but it felt like even the slightest mistake and the shooter controls would kick in. :(
The key is to make a save right before you do anything remotely risky. That way you can reload if things go wrong.
Just save before trying something risky or just messing around. Half of the time I just forget the mission, save, and mess around with the NPCs. Great way to test out new gear you unlock as well.
Yep, you do. Content and progress will only carry over from the same family of systems. So you need to rebuy 1 & 2 if you want the content from them in 3.
Yeah hitman 1 and 2 are on sale on ps4 right now so might be a good time to get them
This. I shook my head once again when I realised the man that was talking is supposed to be an arab/Emirati. He can't even pronounce Burj al Ghazali properly. And I'm not going to talk about most npc's there are probably white people, but I can't judge that until the game is out. This industry is a joke.
If I get spotted in a hitman game to the point that shooting begins, I consider that mission a failure and I reload a save.
Hopefully, cause I noticed each "Map" or "Level" from Hitman 1 and 2 was like 6+ GB each. That was just for the maps. So I assume you are correct, may assets were being reused, and now with better compression tech, maybe they can get the sizes down considerably. Now, I just wonder if the PS4 version also has better compression and lower install size. I will be installing both, PS4 for VR gameplay, and PS5 for non VR Gameplay.
Again, they have not said that yet - it's a very common question.
Ah, my mistake then. Could've sworn I read that somewhere but if they haven't said anything then that's my bad.
It's been said that our progress from Hitman 2 on Steam will carry over to EGS Hitman 3, probably since our online saves are stored on IOI's servers. But the bigger question for me is whether we'll be able to transfer progress/achievements from EGS Hitman 3 to Steam Hitman 3 once the (presumed) timed exclusivity ends. I'm totally willing to double dip because I don't think I can wait a year to play, but I'd rather delete the EGS version and just play on Steam if/when it comes out.
When I get discovered I go wild and take out my frustrations on NPCs by throwing muffins at them or slapping them with fish. Then I reload, lol.
Same! I've hit so many people with apricots (before getting gunned down) on that damn Colorado level lol.
Does that mean the old 2 (+1) content will not be used and the new 3 engine will have to re-download its own version of 1+2 content?
It would be really great if cross platform saves became a thing in the future (or at least a one-off migration). With the franchise now spanning multiple console generations I'm sure a lot of people are in the same position where they will be back to the start on 1+2 on a new platform.
Thanks for making some unbelievable games :)
Thanks to everyone at IOI for their work on this. Storage space is at a premium this generation and the Hitman Trilogy will be a permanent fixture on my PS5 as I know I'll keep going back to it over the next few years.
Can I get examples? IOI would be basically pulling across whole game licenses.
Last time I played this series was Hitman 2 on PS2 :/
Time to jump back on the train with this one seeing how I want some PS5 games. This shit looks awesome.

Just picked up Hitman 2 GOTY for $20 on PSN, looks like I have all of that Hitman 1 levels as part of the "Hitman GOTY Legacy Pack", but I still have an option to buy Hitman 1 GOTY, so not sure what that's about.
Regardless, I now own Hitman 1/2 with all the levels, locked and ready to enjoy all of them again. I now officially own all of Hitman 1/2 on PC/PS5/XB1, heh.

I played the Hitman 2 demo and loved it. Its it okay to skip the 1st game and jump into the 2nd? Whats the best way to start? Also the HDR is really well done!
I highly recommend getting both and play all the levels on the Hitman 2 client. I bought both during this ongoing sale ($32 for both is a ridiculous deal) and am enjoying the crap out of it.
I would start from the first game. Both games have really great unmissable levels. After the introduction stuff, Paris location is awesome in Hitman 1. But nothing is stopping you from starting from Hitman 2 if you really want to start there.
