I played all my Hitman on PS4 and continue to do so on PSVR, can I sync progress with Xbox anytime I want or is it a one time import kind of thing?

It used to be that there is no cross-platform importing and I doubt that has changed.

Edit: And I believe it's a one-time thing. You can't sync progress back to the original console/platform you played on.

Hitman Trilogy on Game Pass, what is included in that? Does it include all of the DLC missions from all three games?

I'm still downloading, but based on the wording and how the game is listed on Steam I think that Hitman trilogy DOESN'T give you:
- HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 1 GOTY Upgrade. This is mainly Patient Zero, a bonus campaign that re-uses levels from the first season.
- HITMAN 3 Access Pass: HITMAN 2 Expansion. Mainly two new levels, New York and Haven Island. Also, two more sniper maps and some stuff that isn't as interesting. This used to be the Expansion Pass for the second game. I'm not sure how this works, since the levels continue the story and connect the second game to the third one!
- Hitman 3: Seven Deadly Sins. DLC for the third game that seems to add mostly cosmetic stuff. No new levels.

I'm not sure if you can even buy the above on Game Pass right now.

You DO get Hitman 1, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3. 18 levels + 2 tutorial ones. Also 1 sniper map? I think.

Seeing Phil hyped about Guitar Hero is awesome, as is his attitude to freeing up a lot of the teams there to work on what they want to. Seems like this is a big win for all the developers and staff at Activision Blizzard and they're going to have a much healthier work environment which is nice after the crap they've been through. Going to be interesting to see the variety of games that all these teams make and gives me hope that Tony Hawk will make a comeback as well, I think the devs stated that they planned to do Tony Hawk 3&4 before getting moved into COD support so it seems there's a good chance of that happening.

The mention of Hexen was a surprise, I forgot about that entirely but Heretic, Hexen and Hexen 2 (the one where you launch sheep off catapults) were good games, basically fantasy versions of Doom.

I wonder what's happened with the Transformers license and if we might see another War for Cybertron game? The last I remember is Platinum Games making a game with the IP that looked just like the classic cartoons.

The Prototype games were pretty fun as well. I think a third game got cancelled by Activision so maybe the devs will want to revisit the IP now?

A properly revived Guitar Hero exclusive to Xbox (and not immediately run into the ground) would sell a lot of systems.

Also Geometry Wars was the best launch title for any Xbox system and I'm ecstatic at the possibility of it coming back.

star control 3 is about the only thing i'd care about were they to make it. that series deserves so much better, as do toys for bob, and i think a modernized star control could be pretty successful.

Hitman 2 with all the imported levels from 1 is around 120 GB so they did some serious compression in 3 to both add another game's worth of levels and shrink the whole thing by almost half

Good lord. I mean, I don't know anything about the reasons why it's so big, but I know I only have a finite amount of disk space and 1 game (or 3) taking that giant of a chunk means it will be tougher to keep it on there for long.

70GB is tiny for a single AAA game, let alone one with the amount of content Hitman Trilogy contains. It's like an actual modern marvel that it's as small as it is, lmao.

If they just made one game that was supported with DLC rather than multiple releases I think it would work. The problem with the older Guitar Hero games was they had DLC but also kept getting so many sequels and band specific releases.

I have fond memories of Guitar Hero 2 early in the 360's life and Thunderbird model they used which was wired, and then I think they went wireless for Guitar Hero 3 and did a Les Paul model? After that they just flooded the market with games for different bands though which was disappointing. I remember people being hyped for Rock Band as well and it was cool they added drums and singing but it never captured the magic of Guitar Hero imo. GH had such a great art style and song selections.

Oh man did anyone ever do one of those sign up for free trial stuff and you'd get copies of stuff like Guitar Hero...which you would just return to Amazon for credit? In retrospect it was super dumb, but eh I never got burned on anything, so I was lucky, and also didn't try and turn it into a way to support oneself. Cause eventually you're buying KFC logs because they're cheap and on sale and you want to flip it...or cook it indoors (DO NOT DO THAT).

There was an article where they mentioned it was a combination of more powerful hardware allowing for more efficient compression (hence no version of H3 on previous gen consoles) and reworking the file structures of the game so there was nothing episodic about it anymore. I imagine that there used to be a boatload of duplicate files.

Edit: Not sure why I typed that out instead of just finding the article.
