Congrats on the 50 million mark and the success of Hitman 3! The long game paid out and this franchise is getting the love it deserves
Usually when games add an Arcade game mode it becomes its own mini-game with a set of metrics, challenges, unlocks.
Maybe “the money has been wired to your account” might morph into a money system? Specially if there’s now a safehouse to buy stuff to.
Regardless of the specifics, it’s nice to see the formula likely become permanent. A lot of good content is missed by the time limited feature.
I’m clueless on VR. Does anyone know if PC VR would allow keyboard and mouse? I’m very interested in the VR view, but I wouldn’t mind playing with ‘oldschool’ controls.
Not much to say about “new maps, storylines, modes”, PLURAL. That’s just an absolute dream come true for any fan. Against all odds because there weren’t supposed to be any.
To me it feels like a whole “Hitman 4” to be expected for 2022
They showed us a several pictures of a fancy house in a forest and a picture with a Contracts-style weapon rack next to paper targets. So yeah, looks like we’re getting something similar to the church hideout from the second game.
The hype is here. The hype is thick. The hype is hype.
Seriously, can we all agree that we’re surprised not so surprised there is a year 2? It had to happen. The biggest surprise imo is the content they’re going to give, now that is some update! And i’m already sticking to the “new maps”. It’s plural, plural people! I want a crazy funny version of the very first level of Blood Money - lol.
I join @Foffy about a new campaign which would be the best thing to do, missions that follow a new script running through the entire game, from Paris to Dubai to Chongqing. Somehow i do not care about a safe house because the menu is quite good.
It’s proof that being independant is the best thing sometimes. IOI managed to make a great campaign before release, trailers that stick with you, reimagination of what we’ve been doing for years. It surpasses my expectations in terms of gaming value hashtag happy
Anyway, it’s major news and i cannot but applaude IOI for delivering hard.
I’m just happy that there is anything to get! IOI really know what they have in their hands and Im excited to see where it goes. 50 million players, that’s massive! I just read that Forza Horizon 5 was the biggest xbox launch with 10 million, hearing that this even more “niche game” got five times that blows me away. Congrats to everyone who worked on this game, everyone deserves it!
I was hoping for a mission where would assassinate the Po dynasty since the day we met Tren Po in Paris. Let us disguise 47 as Heavenly Guard to get close to enough to fiber wire them.
It’s not impossible because several people and groups mentioned in one mission showed up in later: The Maelstrom was first name-dropped in Sapienza; the Delgados and Jordan Cross were mentioned in Paris; Strandberg’s biography included a reference to Kronstadt and so on.
But that doesn’t mean that Khandanyang or the Po’s will actually be included in the new missions. It’s more likely than some other things but not guaranteed.
Cleaning up Providence sounds more likely. Pretty sure not everyone is okay with being blackmailed into stepping down. Some members are probably happy to have survived the storm relatively unscathed, others – especially higher-ranking members like Heralds – are probably a lot more vengeful. Like I mentioned before, Byron Washington seems like a pretty likely candidate for leading a faction of Providence that wants revenge on Diana and 47.
Of course, there’s also a very likely chance that these new missions will introduce completely new people that are not connected to Providence in any way.
Was thinking that too! I hope Diana gets a lil space in his safehouse. I know some concept art showed that she would carry a small gun in her purse. I would love to try her collection of small guns at the firing range if there is one. I’m thinking she’s got a few cool pieces like a vintage Mauser.
Specially if there’s now a safehouse to buy stuff to.
