Forums - Gaming Discussion - Hitman 2 announced, releasing November 13th, 2018 (full game, non-episodic)

Not surprising. They probably took note of the underwhelming sales cutting it up and serving it in pieces got for the last game, and so they're deciding to serve it all in one piece from the get go.

I highly doubt IO wanted to do things they way they were done with Hitman 2016 to begin with. The western arm of Square/Enix is notorious for doing naught but forcing it's stupid ideas into games they publish.

This is a decent, fairly short read from......last May? Holy moly time flies: https://www.vg247.com/2017/05/11/hitmans-fate-proves-theres-no-bloody-justice-in-the-world/

I heard great things about the first one, it's good they dropped the whole episodic thing, maybe I'll pick it up.



I make game analyses on youtube:

FFVI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSO6n8kNCwk
Shadow of the Colossus: https://youtu.be/9kDBFGw6SXQ
Silent Hill 2: https://youtu.be/BwISCik3Njc
BotW: https://youtu.be/4auqRSAWYKU

Is this a remake? There is many Hitman games released over the years including one with the name Hitman 2.

I think this franchise is overdue.



good one



In addition to the brand new levels for Hitman 2, the game will also include all Hitman 1 levels updated with the new mechanics of the Hitman 2.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

Does that mean the entire Hitman 1 game is in this game as well?  As in, I dont need to buy the first game because this game comes with it?

There seems to be a catch, these levels are only available if you own the first game... 

After digging a bit deeper, yeah, this is true. That means that the video comes off as misleading.

I wonder if they're releasing all the content at once then, or rolling it out over time like with the first game.

It's the full game in one release.

Now i'll consider getting it. Cutting it up into "episodes" was total bs.
