"We were previously teased with an image, we believed to be a hint, for an upcoming multiplayer mode in Hitman: Absolution and while some are ruling it out at this point, IO just might have more up their sleeves than what we expect this E3."
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
Can we have a pure single player game anymore?
Multiplayer..............multi player EVERYWHERE.
no
I hate how multiplayer is invading every SP game.
I'm seriously considering not getting Far Cry 3 now, cause I hate the how the MP looks, and that their even doing it.
Mass Effect 3 MP now has more variationraces/classes, than SP has in its' sqaud mates.
The game publishers are wanted every one of there games to compete for the lucrative MP-market. And they don't stand a chance. I play SP games for SP - and I'll play MP games for MP. Simple as that.
Yeah...for about 2 weeks, then it becomes a wasteland of rolling tumbleweeds and money invested only to accomplish nothing. Bah!
