Yes. I'm curious to see the differences to PS4/XB1 versions. Probably no ray-tracing as even the PC version is getting it later.

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

The reflections in that video aren't screen space are they? (on the outside of the building in Dubai, where non screen space objects are shown)
I assume those are the non raytraced reflections to which the user was referring.
Hitman 2 used them in a handful of places for mirrors.
Whatever the case , I can't wait to do it all again for the 3rd time and see what other amazingly realised environments and architecture you've put together for the new content- it's my most anticipated game by far!
After a rewatch it looks like a specially drawn planar reflection like they use for standard mirrors. As soon as he climbs into the building you can see that the reflections of the window's frame are SSR. It might be the only set of windows in the game that work like that but it's a fancy introduction scene to the game so probably worth any extra effort it took.
Edit: never mind, I didn't follow the conversation properly. Apparently hitman previously didn't use SSR at all, but I didn't realise that.

What made these games so endearing to me is those playthroughs with Dan and Brad on Giant bomb.
Brad trying to go straight and Narrow while Dan forces him to do stupid shit... omg. That was soooo good.

One of the biggest compliments I can give Hitman is it takes 2 genres I'm not very good at or have much time for (stealth and puzzles) and combines them in a way I find both accessible and extremely engaging.
Normally I find stealth and puzzles a tiresome chore, but I absolutely love playing Hitman.
I am a huge fan of the franchise since the very first one and love the 2 last games, but I can't say I am super excited for this, it just looks too similar to the other two games. I mean after hitman 2016 I said I could play more episodes/expansions for the rest of my life and I guess that is true and I will certainly buy this day 1, but still, it does not look very exciting.
and dubai is basically another hotel mission, I am really starting to miss the dirt and the sexiness that used to be a part of every installment in the franchise.

It'll work somehow. Probably through linking accounts.
Hitman 3 on PC Will Launch Exclusively on Epic Games Store, Hitman 2 Progression and Unlocks Will Carryover From Steam - The Escapist
IO Interactive has revealed that the World of Assassination trilogy's Hitman 3 will launch exclusively on the Epic Games Store on PC.

One thing I think all of you will be happy to hear is that we have managed to get the size of the game down significantly. All three games with all content will take up around 100gb.
Yes. I just haven't gone through the process yet. I should do that :)
Hi, are you able to say how PC players will be able to import hitman 2 levels into the game?
I'm still unsure what to do about this game - afaik they STILL haven't confirmed if we can have cross-ecosystem progression carry over for our world of assassination stuff right? I played 1 on Xbox, 2 on PC and redid much of 1 there. I have PC VR, but also if the console versions are fine this is the kind of game I'd rather play on my console. I don't want to redo the previous levels for a third time.
Great to hear! Especially since I plan on having it for quite a while on my PS5 SSD 😁
I can't wait for this game. I just hope it doesn't eat the entire SSD on the PS5. Hitman 2 was already 110 or some crazy shit. I can't imagine all that content and NEW content being under 160.
Can you guys please consider an ultimate edition with all 3 games on disc?? I own the first 2 games on disc and there is no way for me to play those games within the 3rd game. It is unfair that only the digital version gets all the upgrades. thx
For Hitman 2 you needed Hitman 1 to get it for free, or a paid separate «Legacy pack» (around 20$) that includes everything without the need to buy the first game. So I suppose something similar will be available.
HITMAN™ - GOTY Legacy Pack on Steam
This is the full Legacy Pack, which includes all remastered locations and missions from Season 1 and The Game of The Year Upgrade. The bundle includes: - All content from Season 1 - The Patient Zero Bonus campaign - 3 Themed Escalation Contracts - 3 extra Outfits - 3 extra Weapons...
Don't think so, think the last mission I played in that game was hotel one where you assassinate some singer.
You should play the four patient zero missions then if a pandemic theme/mission is what you're looking for
I felt exactly like this about Hitman 2 and then I played it.
Even if it looks extremely similar to the previous games at a glance, I know in practice it will be filled with a lot of super entertaining shit, with incredibly designed levels and an absurd amount of options to carry out missions. The humor woven into all of this insanity is just...*chef's kiss*
This is fantastic news and something that had concerned me. All the best for launch!
So how does playing the Hitman 1 and 2 maps work for Hitman 3? You need to own both Hitman 1 and 2 in the same ecosystem (eg, all on Steam or all on EGS)? Do the maps work with the Hitman 3 engine?
In the US? Not in Europe :/ only the deluxe version is discounted here a bit
Yep. Would love to get the preorder discount for the regular edition as well. Would preorder it immediately if that were the case.
Yeah that PS+ discount for Hitman 3 is just the Deluxe version for $63. The regular edition is not on sale. Oh well.
Hitman 2 isn't on EGS and Hitman 3 won't (initially) be on Steam, but apparently it will work somehow.
You have to own the game on the same platform - IO track ownership externally to the store data, so maps will unlock.
Xbox/PS/PC are the platforms
This is good news even if it still makes the tiny PS5 SSD cry.
Shout out to IO for showing real gameplay of the game. For being honest about their rollout and setting the right expectations. Marketing the game appropriately. I hope people buy it. The series isn't for me but I came in to give kudos
Ok excellent
Will the maps use the Hitman 3 engine?
Anyone have this PSN issue where it doesnt think you own Hitman 2? I got the Hitman 2 Gold Edition on day one but the store thinks I don't own it. I'm worried that map importing into HItman 3 is gonna be borked for me unless ownership is truly tracked externally like mentioned above. I noticed this when I tried to redownload it on my PS5
Answering my own question:
So, graphics and gameplay are all from Hitman 3? Or is the environment and models from the game it came from?
