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

What are the best missions from this list? These are the ones I've yet to play. I probably won't be able to play them all before 3 comes so I want to prioritise.
1:
Bangkok
Hokkaido
2:
Isle of Sgail
New York
Maldives

Hokkaido is incredible, then Isle of Sgail, though the later partly works so well as a cap on Hitman 2's base story.
Bangkok is still good, though it's skippable relative to the others. New York is a relatively small mission. All missions are highly repeatable though, each with unique features, so there are no outright bad ones.
Yeah I've heard great things about Hokkaido I've just never got around to it. I play most of the levels to death hence there's a few I've not even touched 😅Thanks.
I really like the Bangkok, New York and Maldives from that list. All very real places
out of that list, Hokkaido, Bangkok, and the Maldives are my favorite. They're all quite good though.
They're not, though. It's basically DLC. It's not like I'd suddenly 'own' hitman 2 on ps4, I'd just own hitman 3 that knows I own hitman 2 somewhere.
Examples are any crossprogression game with microtransactions, of which there are now plenty. Fortnite, every ubisoft game, etc. Nobody is asking for Cross buy - if I buy HM3 on ps5, I don't expect to own it on Epic or Xbox, just for the unlock to be based on ioi account
But that's not just content which I would also say is highly dependent on how big the game is and if they can force MS and Sony's hand. This is a check to see if you own a game on a different platform. MS and Sony don't want users buying a game on a different platform just because it is on sale or something in order to get the "DLC" you speak of.
The best Hitman game and that seal of quality on the front proves it.Perfect timing because I just picked up Hitman 2 :D
That's right, it's just a check if you own content, which is exactly what DLC is as well. Hitman 1 and 2 have been free on both platforms before.
I've never played it. I dont actually know much about it so I'm going in blind. Looking forward to it though :3
It's final mission might have the coolest gimmick in the series
absolutely play through it, even just to get to the fourth and final mission
Sold! Gonna start it tonight. Played thru 1 & 2 but never touched PZ.

A dev that posts here is the one who confirmed the file size for all three would be under 100gb. He said it was do to a lot of optimization, removing of duplicate data, etc.
Actually, here's the post:
Play Hitman 2016 in the Hitman 2 engine, which you can do without buying the whole of Hitman 2 .
You can get it for like $10 on most platforms .
Can I jump around the missions? I think I did the first 5 of 6 in Hitman 1.
I guess I always struggle with replaying it :( Any tips?
are we talking about cross save? because it's in both AC and Immortals right now.
Or are you talking about pulling Hitman 1 and 2 saves from PS4/5 into Xbox and vice versa? Either way, if they track progression server side on their end I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Yeah, each level is it's own thing, the only reason the story really exists is to send you to another part of the world to kill someone in a particular environment.
As for tips for replaying?
For me there is an element of ticking things off the lists , I'd start by playing each map and doing the mission stories , so you can see the main "plot" of each map and get a good grounding of some of the more developer constructed assasinations.
I think they were called opportunities in H16, but they renamed it to make it clearer what these were.
Those also act as almost a tutorial for each map, so you know where key areas are, where characters might go , Howe to access certain places and perform specific kills.
Each map has 3 or so of these.

Hitman has been knocking it out of that park since that amazing David Fincher-esque E3 trailer with the engrossing audio/music/visual sync. It's so good to see the series revitalized after I almost gave up on it after Absolution
When 3 releases, will we be able to play 1+2 in the 3 engine?
Neither. We are talking about pulling in licenses whole cloth to give access to content that you haven't purchased on said platform. Very doable from a technical perspective but highly unlikely the platform holders allow IO to do it if they wanted to.
Yeah, if you own them + Hitman 3
We don't know if there is a free client or demo for 3 yet that will let you play the old ones in the newer engine without purchasing the full game
ahh gotcha, I'm tracking now.
Like you said, it's definitely possible. Fortnite does this (I bought both the GOW and MC skins on my PS5 but played with them on XSX) so it would be cool to see IOI do it too, but since this isn't the same kind of content I feel like they won't :/
I'm guessing not otherwise I'm sure you would have mentioned it but can levels be installed/uninstalled separately so if you've 100%'d a level it can be removed?
I'd recommend buying Hitman 1 and 2 whenever they go on sale. If you do that, you'll be able to play all the maps from those two games within Hitman 3 using improvements from its new engine. It's the perfect way to "jump in" rather than skipping right to H3, and you can find the first two games pretty cheap (Hitman 1 GOTY Edition is currenty on sale for $12 on the PS Store, for example).
I think you may even be able to play some of the levels from Hitman 1 and/or 2 for free via a demo. That may be the smartest way to dip your toes into the gameplay of this trilogy if you're budget conscious and unsure how much you'll enjoy the games.
So hyped, Hitman is hands down my favorite series. Still salty about the VR exclusivity of this on PSVR though, I got one but no way I'm going back to that low res screen, also Hitman will always be a series best played with M+KB. I've been doing it that way since Contracts first came out. I'm sure I'll get plenty of gyro comments but I'm old and not about to learn that shit.
With any luck the 3d Vision community will figure out a way to get this running in sbs 3d on PC, I've recently been playing through Hitman 2016 and 2 using HelixVision and its been a thrill. The npc density and micro detail IO puts into their maps just comes to life in VR.

They're all good, but Hokkaido and Sgail are much more layered and intricate in design than the others.
Everyone loves the sprawling open maps, but the more intimate, vertical levels flow better with Hitman's style of gameplay IMO.
It's pretty decent. The sniper map is arguably the best of the lot of them, and the final mission is unique and particularly punishing if you eshew an SA approach. There's a timed mission in Sapienza too, so there's some variety there.

i am super hyped, already preordered digital deluxe on PS5 (20% off!). i actually bought hitman 2 gold on PSN last week ($20) and am replaying through the both H1 & H2 levels, with the goal of just completing each level and maybe a few challenges along the way, and then importing those stats/completions/etc into Hitman 3 so I can fuck around with the full entire sandbox at whim. I already 100%'d H1 & H2 on xbox at release, but I like the dualsense controller a little more this go around. The game is huge, its like 121 gigs installed on my PS5, I think I'll have to delete it to get Hitman 3 lol
One funny thing about H1 & H2 I didn't realize, the PSN version doesn't have a platinum trophy but episodically gives regular trophies for each level. Tons of trophies, but no platinum is kinda weird. Hope there is a platinum for H3.

Nice. Hopefully that will ease a few more people into some replays
I just want to know actual info on why I should get the deluxe edition. Tell me the difference between these escalations!
