Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX® interactive entertainment products in the Americas, and IO Interactive A/S, a Square Enix studio, today confirmed details for the HITMAN® HD: TRILOGY limited edition.
Retro Remastered's Mike takes a look back at the Hitman HD Trilogy, and discovers that he was wrong about the Hitman franchise.
"Hitman 2 and Contracts are very average games that I struggled through the highs and lows"
Erm, author? just because you struggled through them doesn't mean Hitman 2 or Contracts are very average games, y'know? I know there are problems of inconsistent AI, true, but that isn't enough to make them very average games by any stretch of the imagination. They're still very good games actually. Hitman 2 for example, which is obviously the game that has aged the most, still looks OK to me for a start, and has a number of levels in a number of different countries that have never been seen ever since.
I'm glad IO released this compilation, it feels great to be able to go back to those games for me since I don't have a PS2 anymore, and the original games didn't have widescreen support anyway, or 5.1 DD surround sound (on the PS2 at least), nor did they offer the possibility to save anytime anywhere any number of times you wanted. Oh, and the original PS2 games where I live didn't even offer the english VO, so I had to import them from England (back then people in that country spoke english).
The only real downer of this compilation is that for some reason the controls were changed to using R2 button to fire instead of R1 button in the original games. Why the hell did they do that, go figure.
The Hitman HD Pack is a worthy bundle to look into for anyone interested in the older titles as well as those wanting to relive some finely crafted hits. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin still stands as a strong follow up to the original. Outside of its archaic control scheme and touchy AI, there’s still plenty to enjoy thanks to its generous amount of missions and open-ended gameplay. Hitman: Contracts provides the same strict but rewarding experience, but with many welcomed enhancements to the controls and mission structure. With Agent 47 returning in the new Hitman, this set of games is a great way to sharpen those crucial stealth skills.
GearNuke: "This week, it seems that Sony is offering a plethora of discounts starting with the announced Spring Fever sale. Although, it seems like that there are some hidden sales as well, including the Tomb Raider and Hitman series, and the original God of War Duology on the PSP, that is also playable on the PS Vita."
damn that tomb raider triology look so good, can't decide if i should buy these games or not, there are so many game will be release in march in both PS3, PS4 and PSV, and my backlog it's freaking huge, build from both PS+ game and discount game i have been bought
i don't know if i buy these game now when will i have time to play them
can't decide, damn
Wow. That makes no sense to me. Is anyone in the market for a Limited Edition HD collection of anything? There's better stuff to spend money on imo.
