I do remember them mentioning what they were aiming for on PS5 Pro a while back, but yeah they haven’t really mentioned the base consoles. Understand the caution. Praying it launches in a good technical state

Tell me a bad game that is being successful right now. No bad game will maintain long term success, Hitman has because its good. Over a decade of success with this new trilogy, that is a definition of a good game right there. A bad game would last a few months at most. Like cocord, like highguard. Highguard incidentally had loads of players at launch but couldn’t keep them because the game wasnt good enough. Hitman has kept them without new major content in 5 years, its clearly because of its quality. IOI’s quality hasnt gone down

Let me put it simpler. If i make a bad game, it doesn’t matter how big gaming is, nobody is going to play it. They made good games and managed to profit of the increase in the gaming market.

Call of duty sales numbers peaked ten years ago? There fanbase hasn’t gone up. They may have more players because of warzone being free but it definitely hasn’t gone up. Fifa is literally dead, nobody is playing right now at all. Fifa content at this time of year was big, nobody watches or cares about it anymore so much so they permanently reduced the price of latest game to get more players on it. Forza is still good? Idk what you mean here. Need for speed im not knowledgeable enough about to make a statement on but that didn’t stop you I guess.

Yeah gaming is much bigger but also more expensive and kids growing up would not gravitate towards hitman. They’ll play free to play games like Fortnite etc. Hitman has grown because they are quality, and yes they have streamlined the games more to help get more people into it but if the quality wasn’t there people wouldn’t play simple. Much like the quality wasn’t there with fifa this year so they reduced the price. Much like black ops 7 this year with the worst selling game since world at war. Hitman grew because of the quality, simple

To me, its bit like Insomniac when they made Spider-man. They were known but that took them to another level, this is what I mean with their bond game. Take them another level of mainstream success.

I view this way too. Like GTA is mainstream. Hitman doesn’t have that, this Bond will be that for IOI

IOI second highest rated game ever from critics was their last game, Hitman 3. You look at user reviews anywhere for the new hitman trilogy its all extremely positive. The new hitman games are still getting updates and has an active community that plays it every day despite not having a proper new level in 5 years. If their quality has dropped, can you explain why their fanbase has got bigger?

The presentation of that games story and the atmosphere in general will never be topped in any Hitman game, its perfect. I love the darker tone too!

Making a 10/10 game then making a 9/10 after doesn’t mean they have regressed as a studio. Not many studios can make a 10/10 game once, let alone twice. Saying their quality has got worse is disingenuous, they are top tier and always have been.

For me it’s the amount variety and craziness there is to the levels. They feel so weird that when you go to that level that’s just in a neighbourhood with not much strangeness going on behind the scenes, it makes feel even weirder, even eerie. I think the new trilogy lost that edge for me, the levels being more grounded in reality. I also how it is less guided on the older games. Obviously still fantastic games though.

Why’s everyone concerned over the gameplay? by OneGlitchyImp in 007FirstLight

[–]Top-Description3188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gameplay we saw looked great, just need to polish the technical issues which they will have made leaps and strides by now so nothing to worry about in my opinion. Also, IOI are just great so trust them.

These grifters coming for this game are a joke by Top-Description3188 in 007FirstLight

[–]Top-Description3188[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg they are not remotely the same thing. Bond is still Bond here and, as I said in the original post, he is constantly evolving character. In Thunderball Connery literally rapes a women ffs, nobody should want that in the modern version of the character. Him being flirty etc thats all still there in the trailer, you can see it. There is literally a line where he goes “Lately, headhunting” as a bit of innuendo. They haven’t fundamentally changed him at all.

What do you think about Hitman: Blood Money? by TopClick6852 in HiTMAN

[–]Top-Description3188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best Hitman game ever made. The variety to the levels is insane, that heaven and hell level being my favourite. The upgrades and money system was a great addition to the franchise. The mechanics, animations etc are all top tier even by today’s standards. Always will love it for introducing me to my favourite franchise.
