I'm not expecting it to look much different TBH, Hitman has it's own look which translates really well across different hardware setups

Played through some of Hitman 2 on gamepass. Really enjoyed it. Definitely as much a puzzle game as it is a game about killing people. Some of the level design is as good as it can get. I personally loved the fashion mission. It's funny because I have clear memories of playing the original game on the original xbox back in the day and it was an enormous jank-fest.
You mean Hitman 2: Silent Assassin? The detection meter on that game was obtuse as all hell. Took me a while to get a handle on it. Some really great missions though.
Not super thrilled that I'll have to go through the Epic launcher on PC, but I have H1 and H2 on PC and a 3080 so I'm going to go that route. It's going to be the place where I should get the best performance for sure. If I remember correctly, they did say you could import H1 and H2 levels and progress to the PC version even if you own the first two on Steam, correct?
I don't think there is big difference in visual but I would like to see the saving & loading times on consoles.
Honestly, this close to release, and we STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT DELUXE ESCALATIONS ARE
It is genuinely putting me off buying the game

Escalations exclusive to the deluxe edition I presume. Perhaps with exclusive item unlocks
You're right. The original game never came to xbox. I started with Silent Assassin - specifically the demo level that came on the front of a magazine. I remember being dressed as a milkman and immediately getting caught with my ballers. Rinse and repeat! The new games are great however.
Do we have any word with when the Hitman 2 servers are closing? I still haven't got the sniper co-op trophies and haven't seen any information yet on what they're being replaced with.
It's a shame the H1 and H2 trophies were cut down to just the basic stuff. Was hoping to auto pop 100+ trophies.
Trophies are basically the same as the other two Hitman games. Do mission stories, do a few misc things, explore and get full mastery on each level. You only have to do level 5 escalations on one level though which is a godsend. Those were a lot of trial and error restarts (mind you that's probably not nearly as bad with new gen SSDs).Looks like H3 has a platinum trophy. Nice top off for the series.
Also has anyone claimed the OT yet? I'm not seeing it referenced anywhere. If not I might pick it up.

Last mission is only 5 mastery levels so it's super short :( Another game with 5 real missionsLooks like H3 has a platinum trophy. Nice top off for the series.

The only one I am still missing is the only accidental deaths in the prison. I just gave up at some point...
IOI had that idea before we even knew that something like Knives Out would be made.
I just know... and they also stated that in an interview after releasing the trailer for that level.
It's probably 60 GB for Hitman 3, then another 20+ GB for the legacy stuff.
I find it almost impossible to believe they accidentally fell into almost the exact same plot and setting by pure coincidence. Thrombley and Thornbridge are even similar names. But if they said that somewhere, they said it
The more I think about it, Hitman 3 might be my most anticipated game of 2021. I'm still not sure I can justify the $80 price tag at launch though, but the problem with waiting for Hitman to go on sale is that you end up missing the initial run of elusive targets and timed content. I'll probably jump on day one just because I don't even know when the next game that I want to play at launch is coming out. I don't even know if any games I'm looking forward to beyond Hitman 3 have release dates yet.
I know you can import hitman 1 and 2 content in hitman 3, but can you also import your saves to keep your challenges / masteries / escalations?
I only started my first playthrough of the first game this week. I have the second too but will probably wait until I've wrapped them up before grabbing this. It looks so good though!
It's too bad for that for 3, they are again only doing 5 full-fledged maps and then a tiny one, but if the quality is high, I'm still excited. I have to say all of the mission in 3 look conceptually very cool. In 1 and 2 there were ones that I just didn't like in terms of location and aesthetics, regardless of how well or poorly they were actually executed (Vermont and Colorado come to mind).
Every location in 3 at least looks like it has big potential.

Typically I don't bother with overpriced deluxe editions but 4 bucks for some cosmetics and other goodies? Hell yeh.
Got to hide them in a crate 😉
Yeah, this series has been fantastic.
Players Will Be Able To Carry Hitman 1 & 2 Progress Over To Hitman 3
As it turns out, it will actually be possible to transfer all content from the two previous Hitman games into Hitman 3.

I thought it was confirmed progress does carry over?
According to that article only hitman 2 saves will transfer over, but they specify at launch. Maybe that will change. I'm playing through hitman 1 right now but I'm not sure if I should continue now that it seems my save won't transfer.Players Will Be Able To Carry Hitman 1 & 2 Progress Over To Hitman 3

Thank you! It's always brightens the mood to get positive feedback from players, especially long-time fans such as yourself.
I try to interact with the community a bit as I always found it inspiring to hear developers go into depth about their passion all the way back from when that only happened through magazines and I wasn't a professional developer yet. Now it's much more interactive with you all and I think that's excellent (and also sometimes a bit overwhelming), but I'm hoping that I can share a bit of the insight and passion that I'm surrounded by everyday to spark the excitement of interest in games in more people.
Sorry for the nub question but are Hitman 1&2 levels seeing improvements on next gen consoles?
Excited to jump into 3. I barely played any of 2 - I think only one location outside of the tutorial house - so there will be a wealth of content for me to explore.

Now of only there was a way to get even more inside information from IOI...
*tosses coin next to Formanovo*
(Just got into the Series now in the lead-up to H3 and you managed to make the only stealth game besides MGS i actively enjoy. Whatever you guys do with your games, it must be the right thing :-))
Ps. Also a big thanks from me, been playing Hitman since that first mission taking out the Red Dragon.
Damn, this is great news that I completely missed, I still have Hitman 2 (with Hitman 1 levels installed) and it's taking up 150gb.
Absolutely. This is looking like a good 'un. Sadly, I won't be able to bask in glorious next-gen 4K RTX bald pate reflections, but it still looks good on last-gen regardless.
