I havent been keeping track of io things since this was made an epic exclusive. So if I'm reading this correctly, IO has an account system that will allow me to link my steam Hitman 1 and 2 progress/maps to an Epic games Hitman 3 purchase? Allowing me to have all maps etc in 3?

I think you have to own them digitally as well
Nope, you can do this even if you have the disc, you just have to install it to your console (assuming IO handle this exactly as they did in Hitman 2)

Awesome

The missing content isn't crucial or anything by the way, it's just some cosmetic suits which were rewards for completeing these timed elusive target contracts. I wouldn't be surprised if IO reactivate these again at some point so you can go back and get them done.

Not America
I became obsessed with the franchise- best multi-tiered, multi-outcome puzzle game to date I had played. Then, in the Mumbai level in H2, I suddenly dropped it cold turkey.

I really need to go back and finish it up.

Aight. Final question. Just realized I dont have the expansion pass for 2. Is it worth getting on sale? I love the sniper assassin game they had on mobile(pass has two SA maps). Are those maps like the ones on mobile with the challenges and stuff? Think I bought the hitman games on launch day just to support io lol.

Yes they are! If you like the mobile sniper gameplay this should be right up your alley :)

Expansion Pass is worth it purely for the two new locations, Bank and Haven Island which come with some great unlocks like Sieker 1 (dart gun which makes people sick) and the remote flash device. I kinda didn't bother with Sniper Assassin so I can't really comment. The maps look cool though.

Cool, but can we atleast have actual cutscenes (2016) instead of slideshow cutscenes like in 2?
Lol, not happening without Square-Enix backing unfortunately. Those Visual Works cutscenes don't come cheap.

I really like IO's policy of enhancing the previous games - effectively for free - if you own them and buy the new game. Really cool that they're doing that again.

Alright thanks! Will add it to my wishlist and see if I can catch it on sale before 3 drops.

So I seem to have bought Hotmail 2 at some point, and seem to have got Hitman 1 for free via GWG. Will I still get the Hitman 1 maps in Hitman 3, even though I got it via GWG?

Sorry if that sounds silly.

Hitman 1-2 on PS4 Pro already looked amazing, and they somehow pushed that even further with the 3rd installment. Crazy. And to think this studio is independent....! IOI won.

Cant wait. I had Hitman 1 and 2 installed on my Ps4 from launch day until the ps5 arrived. Wonder what the upgrade process will be this time. I still have the disc for Hitman 2 but can't remember where I have the original or if it was a downloaded copy.

Have they said anything about getting the levels across if you owned one digitally and the other physically?

I think Hitman 3 will be the game I buy a next gen console for - IOI are just remarkable developers

Why cant they just release a complete edition with all 3 games on disk??? Why do I have to download the other 2 games which are likely going to be well over 120 gigs combined....Makes no sense.. Not everybody is on uncapped internet.

I think i have Hitman one, what would be the best option for me to buy 2+3. Which options are avaiable?

Actual cutscenes cost a lot of money.

They better use their limited resources for gameplay and levels.

I'm aware of that.

But the "gameplay and levels" of 2 weren't such a huge improvement that I went like "gee I'm so glad we got slideshows cause these levels are SO much better"

Hell no.

And I'm actually invested in the story.

assuming you can get the levels to run in Hotmail then yes!

There were some weird issues for some people redeeming Hitman 1 content in Hitman 2. As a test I would load up Hitman 2 and/or see if you can access the Hitman 2 "legacy" pack which basically gives you the Hitman 1 levels but repackaged in the right format to work in the Hitman 2 engine.

if that works, then you really should be sorted for when 3 comes out.

This is how you support your games(and customers),constantly updating the previous games to keep them in line with the latest tech is fantastic.Bravo IOI!
They're able to do this because the game is proof of concept for integrating blockchain management into a game, so has lot of investment specifically in post-game content to ensure people come back. The thing uses Hoard to tokenise every action in the game.

Cool, I was in Chongqing twice. The last time in 2011. Such a cool city. Looking forward to play in this location. Even if the depiction is not accurate, I'm not going to notice.

That's good to know. I had the disc around launch and it wouldn't convert for whatever reason so maybe that was user error on my part

Really excited for this, I re-bought both Hitman 1 and 2 during the PSN Black Friday sale just so I can have all the games in one.
The eventual Hitman Trilogy collection will be such a steal for newcomers.
