But there's already a Hitman 2! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitman_2:_Silent_Assassin

Joking aside of course, I find it kinda strange that they went with that title instead of Season 2, it just makes it a bit confusing. But hey I'm sure it'll be a good game nonetheless.

I'm guessing they're trying to avoid the negative attention that can come from games having full-priced "seasons."

Call it "Hitman 2: Hit Manlier"

I woke up, saw 'pre-order Hitman 2' and immediately went 'Ugh, we already have a Hitman 2!'


I hate when games are numbered illogically.

....Yeah that.

They still doing the weird episodic thing? Wait no? Well that's good. I'm not a Hitman fan but I like there to be less stupid bullshit in gaming overall.

not interested in coop/MP.

Its not why we play Hitman. we play because we can play as Agent 47 in single player assassination.

He is. David baston voice is just cool. he is cool, charismatic agent and urban legend.

So they're starting over numerically. Perhaps for the better. The original two or three games were pretty rough. Like, brushing-your-teeth-with-a-wooden-spoon-full-of-splinters rough.

It's a reboot done right, IMO. The only problem is that they didn't really announce it like a reboot when they released the first one, so many people assumed that it was a prequel.

There it is. Absolution's problem was overly linear level design. That China Town level was Bloodmoney good, but they wasted all their talent on that one level I guess.


HITMAN, Oh they are gonna fix the linear issue! Sweet! Might be the best Hitman ever!...Episodic? Fuck that! No Buy.


HITMAN 2...dumb name, but not episodic!?...Ok maybe this will make it up to me...tacked on multiplayer? Geez, what is this? 2006? *sigh*


Absolution atleast had a neat idea of making levels for others to play...single player, but no, this is dumb. It was dumb in MGSV, it will be dumb here.

Tacked on multiplayer is "best" excuse for mini-buys and lootboxes, therefore limitless profits. Not so dumb for Mr shareholder-beholden CEO. Profits and stock go up. Fan/customer base trust go down.

The last Hitman was the only game I've missed out on, mostly due to the always online requirement. I didn't even mind the episodic nature, much like Resident Evil Revelations 2. Pity, because it looked like a pretty fun time.

This one, with its tacked on multiplayer, looks definitely like an always-on affair, so I'll possibly be skipping it as well. I say possibly because I will be keeping an eye on it, I loved Hitman games after all, one of my favorite series. Absolutely couldn't care less about the coop/multiplayer, and yes the name is stupid, we already have a Hitman 2.

I really miss the interesting back stories of all the targets, the wide variety of realistic-ish environments and the details, and the supremely creative ways you could take targets out. I might just replay one of the older ones while waiting further news on this one.

Hitman season 1 was major improvement over abysmal absolution was. the level design are huge unlike checkpoint based absolution.

Hitman 2 if follow same structure would be one of the best Hitman game.

I thought Metro 3 : Why am I growing a third thumb on my kneecap was GOTY 2018?

I get so confuzzled by the messages from the future the marketing unicorns deliver to us through the words of the prophet B-Cell.

OT : I sure didn't get anything from that "trailer", that was like, the flickering image screen saver stuff from behind a menu or something. And I thought cinematic trailers were uninformative.

Must be 2006, people are still using the phrase 'tacked on multiplayer'.

God forbid a studio try and reach an audience beyond you. SP games are going strong, but MP are going just as strong. Hitman has always been a design begging for the ability to play in co-op with a friend. Nice to see a developer has caught on.
