HITMAN

Hitman is pretty cool game, I've finished 4 out of the 5 episodes so far.
Locations are so beautiful and huge.
Its bad news it sold way less than Absolution.
They should scrap the episodic format if they want to sell a lot on launch for season 2.
Also to those saying story is not important in Hitman game, i don't agree because there is a great potential for interesting plot.
The storyline in ROTR was also quite bad, so it does affect the overall quality of the game.
Maybe less so for Hitman than ROTR but it can still be decent.
Gameplay is really good in the new Hitman and will definitely consider buying season 2 if its not episodic.

The episodic route gives them more room to listen to the community and make adjustments and additions to the game.

 

For once, the episodic content worked out very well. 

 

As for the story, it never really mattered in Hitman games. Most of them played the levels over and over again for the gameplay and mastering the stealth, which is the key to all Hitman games. 

 

If they ever do plan to focus more on the story, I hope they go Dishonored style without killing the freedom or butchering the core elements.

Yes but because of episodic nature, game sold very less. So if they want to sell as many copies as possible, they have to scrap the episodic format.

Not really. Blood Money did everything better without dumbing things down. There are so many things that have been removed just to attract the general audience. 

 

This is a good Hitman game but it's nothing compared to Blood Money. Hitman 2016 shines mainly due to the level design while failing to create an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was lacking. People in Paris actually speak French in Blood Money.

 

It has nothing to do with nostalgia. Blood Money was better written, had better gameplay and didn't need to dumb down for everyone. Only people who prefer this over BM has either never played it in a long time or ever. 

 

It's among greatest of all time.

Mark this date on your calendars: October 24th. That’s the date when we will reveal brand new content for the game.

We’re going to let the announcement itself do all the talking, but there is one thing we want to clarify before then; this upcoming content is not “Season 2”. We’re saying that now to keep expectations in check. So, save the date, let’s hope it doesn’t leak and we’ll see you there!

– A redesigned UI with a new colour scheme and visual style
A fresh new look across the board and re-organised menus to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

– New Contracts Mode features
‘Trending’ helps you find the most popular contracts, making sure you can easily find a new challenge. We’re also adding and 10 ‘Conditions’  that will add huge depth to Contracts Mode, such as restricting disguise changes or requiring players to use a specific exit. Anyone who creates a contract will be able to toggle these conditions to set a more defined challenge for their contract.

– Major lighting improvements to all missions
New colour grading, readjusted HDR adaptation rules and re-designed skyboxes mean that our locations look more vivid, vibrant and lifelike.

– Commemorative Elusive Target Unlock
If you played any of the Elusive Targets we released during Season One, we’re giving you an in-game coin to commemorate your progress and thank you for your support.

– Xbox One X Enhancements
A whole host of enhancements are on the way for Xbox One X owners, including options for native 4K and a higher framerate. Specific details to come in a Xbox-specific blog post.

– Tobii Eye Tracking support for PC
Enhance your killer instincts with Dynamic Light Adaptation, Extended View and a new special feature added specifically for HITMAN. Find more details here.

– Various fixes and improvements
Full release notes will be published closer to 7 November. That should be enough time to start thinking about your default loadout for each location…

Oh, and one more thing…

– Elusive Target Re-activation
Starting in November, we will re-activate Elusive Targets. If you missed any Elusive Targets the first time around, or if you are new to HITMAN, this is your chance to experience these intense time-limited targets. All of the suit unlocks are back in play for both new and existing players to complete their collection. If you’ve already completed or failed an Elusive Target, you won’t be able to play that specific contract again; your record for that contract will stand and cannot be altered. Re-activated ET’s will still be time-limited and the first one will be re-activated shortly after the release of our Game of the Year Edition on November 7th.

Nice! The UI was one of my peeves from the game.

After the routine elimination of a target, a contingency plan to unleash a global pandemic is triggered and Agent 47 must race against the clock to prevent a virus from spreading. This four-mission campaign spans different locations in the game, each one re-worked from the original settings with new gameplay opportunities, disguises, characters, challenges, gameplay mechanics, AI behaviour and HUD elements. Bangkok, Sapienza, Colorado and Hokkaido look and feel completely different with a new time of day and new custom music created by the composer for Season One, Niels Bye Nielsen.

 

Hmm, fair enough then. PfzzsQ6.png
