With Hitman 2, IO Interactive has established a new formula for the Hitman series. Starting with Hitman 2016, the game is focused on giving players huge sandbox levels to allow players, playing as Agent 47, the freedom to kill in any way they can think of.
Discover the latest news from Bloober Team: they are working on 2 new games, including a new IP in partnership with Private Division.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Absolution was really the only "linear" Hitman game. The series certainly used to be more story-focused though, and Absolution was undoubtedly the best as far as story goes.
I have been a huge fan of Hitman since Silent Assassin (the actual Hitman 2, damn broken numbering systems) and the 2016 Hitman was a fantastic return to form, not some sad departure from "past games". Like, sure, there were stories being told in Silent Assassin, Contracts, Blood Money ...but they sure as hell weren't the main draw card for me, the levels were. And the points where Hitman has pushed it's story to the detriment of it's open gameplay have been the points at which the series has been at its weakest.
Amazing atmosphere.
Clearly this site and user has never played a Hitman game before Absolution, Hitman has always been about exploring open levels and finding out different ways to complete the objectives.
I like the older ones more, especially codename 47 because it felt a lot darker. Especially the mental asylum tutorial level.
