Trailer went up early. I suspect this was going to be revealed tomorrow via Xbox Wire.

Hitman Xbox One X Enhancements Revealed
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
So even if you choose either mode, it seems like you get the enhanced textures and shadows anyways.....which is a pretty big deal for even 1080p users......damn, this thing is going to deliver a LOT of good experiences with that extra RAM for 1080 users

it really didn't sound like much
reading the pro enhancements it didn't even sound like the Pro got a 60 fps mode did it?
edit2: watching digital foundry video on it, it was an uncapped framerate with dips to the low 40's in Pro mode.....will be interesting to see if this holds

Awesome game. I wonder if the PC performance issues have been cleared up. There was always a persistent microstutter for me.
Hitman 2016, or HITMAN, or
is a strikingly beautiful game. It really doesn't get enough love for its beautiful lighting and great texture work. Not to mention the pretty decent crowd systems.
Hitman: Absolution 2.0 you know this in your heart to be true
OP
OP
I'd have to agree. At least if it's not too taxing to do.
I'm almost glad I haven't played this game yet. Now I can play it on the X (although Wolfenstein II comes first).
What do you mean by this? The common criticism leveled at Absolution is its general lack of freedom/creativity, made worse by simpler level design, for a Hitman title, which Hitman'16 has in spades.
For those interested in playing this game for the first time, I highly recommend getting it for PS4 so you can access the PlayStation exclusive Sarajevo Six, but if you're interested in a more upscaled version on the new Xbox then don't be too upset, you're not missing out on that much.
Yeah in a perfect world, it'd be both, but with consoles, compromises always have to be made.
And giving the actual player the choice as to what they want to compromise is the best solution.
Hitman 2016's gameplay is almost identical to Hitman: Absolution. Same gunplay, same movement, and most of the same mechanics, albeit sometimes with slight tweaks. (Like Instinct mode.) There is very little difference between Hitman: Absolution's handful of sandbox missions and Hitman 2016's. The distinguishing difference is Hitman 2016 is completely lacking the more linear, story-driven missions that endeared Absolution to audiences that found previous Hitman games too confusing and plot-light.
Hitman 2016 plays pretty much exactly like Absolution, but with Blood Money style level design. Whether this is a good or a bad thing depends on whether you prefer Absolution's more structured, story-driven approach or Blood Money's more free form sandbox approach. I do personally prefer player freedom, but a more structured approach has benefits. They're both equally valid. Absolution doesn't magically stop being a great game just because it isn't a sandbox outside a handful of missions. Different strokes for different folks. Nothing wrong with game series not being what some sections of the fanbase wanted.
But yea, Hitman 2016 plays absolutely nothing like early Hitman games. Mechanically, it's near identical to Absolution. Even the disguise system is a tweaked version of Absolution's instead of being based on earlier games.
edit:
Not trying to start any sort of fight, BTW. Hitman 2016 is great. I love the game and I'm in no way criticizing it. I think it's great that it plays like an improved Absolution. But I always found it weird how some Hitman fans ignore that it looks and plays exactly like Absolution for the most part. There's a lot of hostility in the Hitman fanbase, unfortunately.
