What kind of witchcraft is this?

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.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
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.Have we seen confirmation of that? Rather, that ONLY that works?

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.Yes, there is a PS5/XSX version, I don't know what the differences will be.

Ubisoft has done it with a number of their titles. It's definitely possible to do.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.
That footage looked great! Congrats to the team. Do you plan to add Ray tracing support for next gen consoles in the future?Yeah you guys are right those are not screenspace reflections. And yeah we definitely hade reflections in the other two games, but we have indeed upgraded the engine with screenspace reflections (for base ps4/xbox one too) and so there will be much more reflected goodness this time around. As an example, the Paris fashion show catwalk floor is now fully reflecting the models and the rest of the room, making the whole scenario look way more impressive :)
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.I haven't played a Hitman game in years. And years. Maybe I'll pick this one up.
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?

Hiya, sorry for quoting you but I just want to make sure I've understood.You have to own the game on the same platform - IO track ownership externally to the store data, so maps will unlock.

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.
Ok, that's what I thought, thanks for clarifying and keep up the great work!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.

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 installedThis will be incredible. I think Hitman 1 & 2 and all the content is already over 100gb.

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. :(
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.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.

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.Do i have to rebuy 1 & 2 on PS5 if i have them on PC and want 3 on PS5?
Yeah hitman 1 and 2 are on sale on ps4 right now so might be a good time to get themDo i have to rebuy 1 & 2 on PS5 if i have them on PC and want 3 on PS5?
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.I see they're still making everyone sound super American in these games.
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.When I played hitman I would have so much fun and then end up frustrated.

Same. Or just let them kill me.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.
Ah, my mistake then. Could've sworn I read that somewhere but if they haven't said anything then that's my bad.Again, they have not said that yet - it's a very common question.
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.

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.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.
What sorcery is this? Amazing news.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.
Whhaaaaatttt!! Oh man this January is gonna rock :DOne 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.
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
Can I get examples? IOI would be basically pulling across whole game licenses.Ubisoft has done it with a number of their titles. It's definitely possible to do.
Pretty sure it's like 190gb on my pc.This will be incredible. I think Hitman 1 & 2 and all the content is already over 100gb.
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 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 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.I played the Hitman 2 demo and loved it. Its it okay to skip the 1st game and jump into the 2nd?
