Hitman: Absolution’s game director Tore Blystad and gameplay director Christian Eleverdam, have said that when it comes to an open world game, the atmosphere and non-playable characters need to “feeel alive.”
Speaking in an interview with the PS Blog, the duo said that according to the game situation, characters in Hitman will do different things.

But Hitman was never open world, it just had very large stages.

"An open world is a level or game designed as a nonlinear, vast open area with many ways to reach an objective."

So yeah, you're wrong

wat. I was just correction you. lol

Deadman_Senji5116d ago (Edited 5116d ago )

But that's wrong.

Open world means just that.

Why the tone of opposition anyway? What did I do to you, personally? I know I talk a lot of shit but I don't remember getting into it with you.

Guess you just aren't worth the memory...

theres a difference between an open world and a free roam game

theonlylolking5116d ago

True to that, oblivion felt dead.

Tigerfist5115d ago (Edited 5115d ago )

That's true, but Hitman isn't about open world gameplay. It's about huge non linear stages with loads of different ways to deal with the objectives.

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

Why do we think this is coming out on Switch 2 before Xbox? Any thoughts? The S2 is not more powerful than the Series S so it’s not a ‘lack of power’ issue. Perhaps the sales forecast is higher on S2 than Xbox so that’s maybe where their priority lies?

jznrpg47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

It’s definitely a sales issue. If Xbox didn’t have players used to GamePass I bet it would be there already.

The fact people will buy it. Xbox gamers generally have minimal interest in this series. Portable Final Fantasy will go down a storm in Japan where the switch sells huge numbers

Hamaguchi states not just the remake but the entire FF7 remake series.

The Switch 2 version is really beautiful. It looked as good as the PS5 version.
