I never got around to playing the two DLC missions from 2... not sure whether to play them now to get hype or play them on the new improved game as a warmup

This is the one game I want to splurge and buy a PS5 for so I don't miss the elusive targets but I wonder if playing it on PS4 would be too significant of a downgrade

I think it is a previous gen game that will be upgraded for PS5 rather than a ground up next gen game. Neither 1 or 2 looked particularly shabby on PS4

Yeah I'd imagine the only real advancements with 3 on next gen will be tons of RTX and maybe crowd size / ai. If you're fine with 30fps then it should be ok on PS4.

After the incredible Sgail intro cutscene where he says "we all have barcodes on the backs of our heads... some people just never find out" all bets are off and I have absolutely no idea what irony level IOI operates on

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
I've tried to figure out what the "deluxe edition" has that the normal doesn't an I'm not still sure. It makes it seem like elusive targets will be deluxe only but I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case before. Does anyone know?

Deluxe is just costumes and some exclusive "escalations" which are just like challenge modes of the missions with added side objectives or differing scenarios.

Just found out your ownership of the Steam version of Hitman 2 doesn't carry over to the Epic store, you gotta buy it again.

That doesn't say anything about Steam, although to be fair when it was written Hitman 1 and 2 didn't exist on any other platform on PC.

I think it's about time the Epic Games Store got some of my cash. I'm personally even more excited by this development

This isn't Epic, it's IOI and uh I feel a bit weird about it. I can pay the dlc price or whatever but it's shiddy of them

the whole "its 80% off the first two weeks and will be on sale often" reads to me like "we are stuck in this situation and trying our best please understand" (i will not understand gently caress you)

Like they literally have their weird IOI login thing and the 1/2 assets are always downloaded and there, I really don't see what's going on here but it's definitely not Epics fault

I guess when it comes down to it I love these games and the devs seem openly frustrated with whatevers happened so it's just some publisher fuckery. Just disappointing

I think the most likely culprit is valve legal thing. Don't think there's any cases out there where you can buy something on steam and access it elsewhere.
