where the red fern gropes posted:are you looking at The Icon's summer suit? it's different to Land of Tomorrow's, not sure which variant Landslide uses Ah, yes. I just picked the default suit for this Elusive target and he didn't have his sunglasses. The day and night thing didn't even occur to me. If he still wears sunglasses on World of Tomorrow that's actually pretty rad.

There's a thread on NeoGAF where someone looked up the SteamSpy numbers (which are never hugely accurate but still) and Hitman sold less than 700k copies compared to Absolution's 3m on PC. Looks like the game's dead.

It's a huge downer, but not much of a surprise. They were keeping tight lipped about season 2 for a reason. It's the end for Hitman for the time being, but at least it went out on a high note

Hopefully IO Interactive is able to secure funding somewhere and keep making cool murder sims. No Hitman season 2 is a huge bummer and 47 is a pretty iconic character even though I don't care about anything else, story-wise. Edit: Hopefully IO is able/willing to quickly disable the DRM if it looks like they're not gonna get sold. I can't imagine Square will keep the servers up much longer.

Square Enix basically pulling out of everything western but Tomb Raider, pun not intended. You can go indie, the publishers screw you. You can get bought by a publisher, they'll still screw you.

They're probably dropping Tomb Raider as well, the reboot didn't sell as well as they hoped (a reminder here it sold over 3m copies, Square's sales expectations have been hosed up for years) and the sequel only got made because Microsoft dropped some cash for it to be an Xbox timed exclusive.

http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/pdf/20170511_01en.pdf "We lost 4898 million yen ($48M) and can't take it anymore". If anyone remember this was the way that THQ went as well, pouring enormous budgets into everything and anything without an idea of reception or return. It's the highest order of incompetence.

I just did this:  And was coming in here to excitedly ask how long till season 2.... now I learn there won't be one This is the best Hitman game they ever did, the best use of episodic content outside of an adventure game, and the lesson developers/publishers will take away from that is,"Don't bother"

I wouldn't say this is very surprising, sad but I'm not surprised, Deus Ex Mankind Divided failed to meet SE's sales targets and that franchise was put on ice, it was only a matter of time before the hammer dropped on Hitman.

Whelp. At least I got the Winter Coat with this ET, no idea if support for the game is going to continue if IO and Square have parted ways. Hope they introduce a real off line mode.

gently caress this noise. the hitman series has always been my favourite since the C47 days and Hitman™ was too perfect a thing for this cruel cold earth. Feel very sorry for the folks at IOI. They've always come across as Very Cool and Good People in all their public-facing stuff. And they've just moved to a fancy and probably expensive new office too.

You load up the game weeks after beating this ET and it's just the camera pointed at 47's dead body, and the high scores are predictions of how you will die. You snap your fingers. This SCREAMING AS YOUR BONES ARE CRUSHED rear end in a top hat got Silent Assassin in 28 seconds? Probably shot a fire extinguisher.

Hitman getting shafted is the most upset I've been about a cancellation since P.T. got dumped. Hitman was so goddamn good, so loving creative, and there's really nothing like it. Maybe it would have sold better without DRM or episodes, who knows, but it deserved to live.
