It's only been released for an hour or so, so I'm not giving them too harder time yet. Would have been nice if all the carry over was smoother or it saved progress but I can hang on a day or two. I tried logging into Hitman 1 to register that on my IOI account but haven't received the email yet, so I think their servers must be making GBS threads themselves

There's also a massive artifact on the startup screen on a ps4 where it looks like its been saved as a 56kb gif or something.

Hitman 2077
Also on the opening cinematic they have messed up pretty bad with some horrible graininess and banding on the blacks, which I guess are going to be repeated throughout. It's honestly diabolical. The game itself looks good tho.

How much are the access passes for the Hitman 1 and 2 levels?

Hitman GOTY - $30
Hitman 2 - $12
Hitman 2 Expansions - $8
Hitman 2 Gold - $20

With current discounts, in USD.

Hitman 1 is free if you buy the game in the next ten days however.

edit - I was strongly considering just rebuying H2 on Epic but 20 for something I already own is WAY too rich for my blood. Yet another irksome IOI mess today.

If anybody can figure out how to put away an item in PSVR without having to switch to the Camera then try to drop that, i would be eternally grateful. I can't figure it out to save my rear end. Shooting is not bad but I'm definitely gonna be playing on Casual in VR because its real awkward and I'm getting my rear end kicked because this is an entirely different way of playing and I have yet to become used to it.

This is only on EGS - on consoles, the passes are their respective MSRPs. Hitman 2 is $60, Expansions is $40, 2 Gold is $100.

i never bought the dlc for 2 and the price of those didn't really drop much. does this include the resort and bank? because that would be a much cheaper way of playing those levels even though i already own 2.

If you own the old games on the same platform though they're a free update. I believe HM2 levels on PC are still incoming.

God if only someone could have predicted that people would want to use their dumbass system to log in and move their unlocks over. There was no way to know how many people that might though so this was totally unforseen.

A third party system for an always online singleplayer game so you can carry over a clown outfit and a fish is a bit baroque, though being able to play all the other maps in the third sequel to a game is a nice addition. Just would have been better if they communicated the process better and maybe had some of this stuff available 2 days ago when all the game data was downloaded without the new maps unlocking.

Hopefully we can play all the hitman maps in the new james bond game anyway ;)

I don't envy IOI trying to pull off this integration/cross-licensing between three games that span three different publishers, two console generations and two PC storefronts. It was always going to be a mess :v:

I mean it was completely avoidable by having the transfer website open up a day earlier or something. Being transparent about fixing an issue that was entirely predictable and self inflicted isn't handling the progression transfer at all. At least they are aware I suppose.

Yeah, I guess I mean that they're handling it well by communicating and not just going silent while everyone struggles. Whether online always is appropriate for a singleplayer game (it isn't) and the omnishambles around how to actually transfer your data is another matter.

I guess I've lived through enough hyped game launches where the game clearly has fundamental problems that won't be easily patched or fixed that this kinda stuff doesn't bother me anymore. But I do wish I could confidently recommend buying the game to somebody.

Somehow I was expecting the H2 content to get lowered from the initial price since that's how the H1 GOTY content worked once H2 was out.

Buuuuuut.... nope. the whole package is listed at $100/€100. I guess they're gonna keep it that way for at least a while after launch - probably until sometime after the Steam release, because that stuff is probably still selling okay.

To tell you how badly this launch has gone you can be top 60 on the global leaderboard with a score of 0 on the first level. It's not really that many people trying to play.

I caved in and bought the deluxe edition of 3 because I owned the previous games and stuff but never played them. I logged into make sure everything was downloaded for tonight, but it's telling me there's a $30 access pass for Hitman 1 I need to purchase... WTF?

The Hitman 1 stuff in Hitman 2 seems to work just fine.

I may try to see if linking my account fixes it later but I might do a refund as I didn't want to spontaneously spend $100+ for Hitmans today.

I think with consoles you need to launch Hitman 2 with Hitman 1 installed. It should then carry everything over from 1 to 2.
From there, Hitman 3 can detect your Hitman 2 content (which includes Hitman 1).

Yes, it is convoluted and shouldn't be like this.

A big part of the issue is that Hitman 1 progression (separate from the levels) couldn't be transferred from 1 to 2.

I'm fine with losing progress, I just don't want to buy content again. I'll try that later, thanks.

Am I reading it wrong or can all the Classics (SASO, Sniper Assassin etc) now be done on any difficulty without any distinction? Seems like you can unlock everything in the game on Casual difficulty. Takes a lot of the challenge out right there.

It would have also helped if I could have played the game at midnight on the launch day instead of at 1pm. Who would have guessed a worldwide simultaneous launch would have issues?

Why the gently caress didn’t they just let us run this transfer thing a week ago? The game didn’t need to be out to do it. I don’t want to wipe my save by doing this later.

I am able to log in but it says I only own Hitman 2 on their webpage, not the expansion pass or 1. The Hitman 2 client says I own 1 and the 2 expansions but doesn’t have an option to claim the 2 pass. Then the transfer website says I don’t have anything.

Pretty sure you need to add Hitman 3 to your IOI account for it to show up. But I can't actually get to the site when I click on the link email to test it.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Got through the VR tutorial before it kicked me for lack of being able to contact the server (lol). Pretty neat from what I got to play of it. Everything's very simplified, you punch by holding a button and punching with your controller. You aim through scopes by holding the controller up to your eye.

Where does that tutorial take place? Is it the usual simulated boat one or something different?

VR sounds like tons of fun and it'd be immense squandered potential if it doesn't end up on PC down the road.
