Everything considered, id="hidden3" class="buttons"> both IO and SE handled the layoffs gracefully, and gave incredible support to ensure we'd land on our feet.

Resopheedمنذ 5 سنوات Them releasing an episode for free to get people into the game was such a smart decision.
It's basically a modern version of shareware. id="hidden4" class="buttons"> />Game demos don't really exist much anymore, since making a demo costs a lot more time and effort than you might think, but for Hitman they can "just" say that such-and-such level is free, and that's the "demo".

I love this series since I was a little kid (which is not a good thing to say since is a game mostly for adults, but game stores never cared much for the age of costumers then) and I love the passion they put in to improve every aspect of it, even if it means making mistakes. Looking forward to chapter 3 of this beautiful masterpiece, the preorder is assured!

I remember being 7 and watching my uncle playing on the PS2 “hitman 2:silent assassin” I would always ask to watch & could sit for hours watching his strategies in passing from A-B,
later in life I borrowed absolution for the 360 ( which played better on PS3) afterwards I’d look out for news about hitman, games. Even the films ( only one was good).
Now am 17 playing hitman 1 & 2 on the PS4. Basically it was with me throughout my childhood & hopefully adulthood. Keep these games coming! ....وسعت 2

Blackflame24منذ 4 سنوات One of my favorite game series!!! Hitman could keep IO Interactive going for years. I didn’t mind the episodic format and the first level being released for free was a brilliant move. And packing Hitman 2016 into Hitman 2 with H2’s graphics and mechanics, giving you two games in one.Brilliant! Along with the AI actually not being so finicky like the old ones. 2016 and 2 are the best games by far and David Bateson has never sounded better as our iconic, suit-wearing headliner! When Hitman 3 comes out, I will definitely be there day 1 to say “Welcome back, 47.” ....وسعت

yutro213منذ 4 سنوات Hakan Abrak wasn't actually completely honest here, in the sense the decision to go episodic was not the initial one. He omitted that, when HITMAN was announced at E3 2015, it would be released complete with 6 locations (which is now the "first season"), and then having all expansions, DLCs, future levels (which is now HITMAN 2 and beyond) added for free if you had paid for the base game. A simple and bold business model, and I personally was all in, and I know many others were too. But when the "episodic format" was announced in January of 2016, they lost me and many others; it was strongly rumored it was Square Enix's decision to force HITMAN to be sold episodic and it bothers me Hakan omitted all this period, maybe part of dissolution deal with Square Enix was to make him keep quiet about this issue.
Anyway, I ended up only buying HITMAN (complete edition, of course) and HITMAN 2 much later, when both were in very discounted prices. ....وسعت 4

Zaysakiمنذ 5 سنوات I normally wait for good sales pretty patiently, but I was so impressed by Hitman 2016 that i ended up buying the 2018 one asap(after making sure that id="hidden41" class="buttons"> they were still on point). Even before i could properly play it(and still haven't, waiting to upgrade my hardware)! I wanted to give them some extra kudos instead of being my usual stingy self. The episodic release plan made me sceptical to put it mildly and i still think that games as a service model can be extremely toxic to games, but they ended up handling it extremely well.
You've gained mad respect IO, in such a short amount of time. I really hope you can stay on this path. ....وسعت 2
