Hitman 3 Review - IGN

Rich, rewarding, and highly replayable, Hitman 3 is one of the barcoded butcher's best appearances.

[alextdarling]

IO interactive nailing it again - this is on my must play list for this year.

Cant wait to get my hands on it.

[SullysCigar]

Got my PSVR poised - this is gonna be so worth the wait!

[Abnor_Mal]

I havent played this trilogy yet myself, but PSVR will be the way I play.

I guess your disagrees are from people who can't play in VR.

[notachance]

guys, do I need to play previous Hitman to understand this?
also I think I read somewhere the previous 2 games are included in this game? is that true?

[NeoGamer232]

I may be wrong, but my understanding is that the tech behind this new hitman has been applied to the last two hitman games. not, these games are included with hitman 3. the tech has significantly reduced the size of the games.

hitman 1 and 2 often go on sale digitally for 80% off. just watch and you can get them cheap if you buy digital. if you buy physical, it is easy to find the games cheap. I have bought both at 80% off, but have not played either yet.

[Double_O_Revan]

You need to own them to be able to play them in 3. I believe they said there is an upgrade option directly within the game for those that don't. But you don't get them automatically.

[Profchaos]

From what was explained in the review the story takes a back seat to level design and mission quality. It's nice to finish the trilogy but its not like you need to have a full working knowledge of the story to know what the point of it is you are Hitman and you have a target get creative or not.

I have played a few levels of the remake but overall I'm in the dark and more interested in buying this for the VR

[lukasmain]

That's pretty awesome for a Hitman game.

[marioJP87]

Since I'm unable to get my hands on a PS5, I can't decide if I want to preorder this for Stadia or Steam. 😢

[Psychotica]

It's not on Steam, it's on Epic..

[ANIALATOR136]

😔

[ssmilloy36]

dang it. i built my pc with steam in mind. now i gotta build one for epic. when's it ever going to end

[StoneyYoshi]

@ssmilloy36

"i built my pc with steam in mind. now i gotta build one for epic."

WHAT???????? Please tell me this was a really bad joke?

[masterfox]

@stoney
No is not a joke and let it be, let him build a gaming rig for each game provider , remember Gaming PCs aren't powerful enough to run more than one game service sadly. :D

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

@StoneyYoshi, it's not a bad joke at all.

[Thunder_G0d_Bane]

Stadia? Loool that would be the worst investment of a lifetime.

That service will eventually be shut down for good.

[marioJP87]

Money is not a problem for me.

[Eidolon]

Soooo why can't you get a gaming rig, or a PS5.... Stadia/streaming just ruins the point of next-gen graphics, and graphics period. it's just convenience. Get it on Steam if you can't afford a scalped PS5.

[Mindshift]

Stadia is only growing and adding features. It's not going anywhere bud.

[annoyedgamer]

Just get it on PC.

[CaptainObvious878]

"A fool and his money are easily parted."

[Mindshift]

Definitely get it on Stadia. It has state share. A brand new google feature that allows you to play other people's state of the game. Endless replay value.
Also, state share will work for the older versions of the game.

[Ninver]

Off topic: I'm extremely excited about I0's 007 game. I hope they fully realize their vision on next gen consoles.

[seanpitt23]

Resident evil 2 engine with the gore physics would be awesome in this game.. hitman games are all the same with no innovation and very bad AI

[lukasmain]

Reviewers seem to be loving it

[lodossrage]

I can't judge a hitman game since I never played one. But using the defense of reviewers like it doesn't really count for much when we know opinions have been bought in the game industry

[KyRo]

You've clearly not played Hitman for a very very very long time.

[chiefJohn117]

The AI is not bad. And yes the hitman games are all the same but that's okay that's why we love them. We just want good new locations and variety of ways to assassinate that's all.

[DragonWarrior19]

Exactly, plus the games wouldn't be fun if the AI was hyper aware and "realistic". It's a video game and you are playing as a bald dude with a barcode on his head, obviously he'd be easy to find.

[P_Bomb]

The innovation is in the execution. It’s a puzzle game wrapped in blood money. Environmental opportunities and subterfuge are preferable to guns in almost every case. Manipulating targets into killing themselves, using sound to reshape the battlefield. Even the sniper assassin missions reward creativity, hiding bodies via bullet physics.

[lukasmain]

Another great game. Looks like Agent 47 is going out with a bang. I need to get this. I have bother the other games digitally too.

[CR7JUVE1897]

Can't wait to try this on PSVR

[Baza]

Awesome! Can’t wait to get into this!

[Flewid638]

This series is great but falls way flat on story progression, which ultimately leads me to never finishing them.

Hope they fixed this for the sequel.

[Ready4nxtgen]

Been playing it Since last week.. some newb at beT buy sold it to me early and this game is amazing.. please get it guys as soon as you can.

[chicken_in_the_corn]

Have mine in my pocket. Excited to get into it but I want to finish Watch Dogs Legion first

[Orchard]

So if I want to play the VR mode also, I need to download both the PS5 and PS4 versions of the game? Great. What a mess.

EDIT: Nevermind, the VR version looks awful.

[QuePasa87]

I need a vr headset so bad ughh

[JangoMan]

I havent played Hitman 2016 or Hitman 2. Do i need to play them first to understand hitman 3 or should i directly go for it?

[stefd75]

I just hope they will do move controller support in the future for PSVR or Rift controller support when it comes to PC VR

[Hikoran]

But.. does it have a Platinum Trophy? I'll still play and love it but, it's always nice to know it's within reach.

[goku]

Yep
