An Episodic Series to Die For? Or Should Does It Miss Its Target?
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."
yes !!!!
I waited for a "full experience" disc version of Life Is Strange and was well worth the wait to be able to play the whole game at your convienence.
Its funny how they use words like "experience" and "episodes" but really its no different than what CoD does year in, year out. They should have just called them "map packs" and stuck with "Full Game".
I think they are just trying too hard in the promotion department, thats all. They need to be worried about framerates in high populated areas in the game. PS4 and X1 are struggling hard. Its not the only game though. Just Cause 3 is a wreck framerate wise. Its just the first one I thought of that I had.
I saw a few gameplay walkthroughs on YouTube and the majority of comments were against the episodic release. Needless to say, I wouldn't be surprised if the next Hitman game is a full-release.
