CraveOnline: "Square Enix and IO Interactive have made the decision to turn Hitman into a fully episodic game, indicating that the publisher could be looking to release more of their AAA games in a similar fashion in the future."
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
Cultured Vultures: With the World of Assassination Trilogy wrapped up, here's our thoughts on the best and the worst in the series.
From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.
Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
"indicating that the publisher could be looking to release more of their AAA games in a similar fashion in the future"
No it does not indicate anything, you're just assuming based off of nothing. I don't doubt that they'll have future games that release as episodes, like LiS 2 which is already confirmed but that doesnt mean theyre going to start chucking everything out in episodes. Also FF7 is not being released as actual episodes its being released in multiple parts as full games.
And I'll just wait for the complete editions/collections because I'm not paying separately for episodes
A future I want no part of
How bout no.....
Is final FANTASY 7 remake going to follow this route? Hmm
