Gameranx: In an interview with Eurogamer, Hitman: Absolution developer IO Interactive has revealed that Agent 47's next adventure will be bringing an online component to the table.
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.
Online....You have got to be kidding me
Can we not just have an amazing single player game
"it's possible we'll be seeing a co-op campaign or competitive component that's seperate from the main storyline."
But the thing is if they do that then they are basicaly cutting the script of the single player. Valve did the same with Portal 2, they had to cut the script to add the co-op, which in my opinion seemed pointless since they could of did a longer single player and then added the co-op as DLC.
Why do developers feel like they have to add online into everything.
Wait is this even the save devs. who's IO Interactive ?
Good lord i hope they dont ruin another good IP.
@Rampaged Death na man i didnt. maybe i got it mixed up with another dev. i didnt play much of the last one but i played the older version's so im looking to get back into hitman again.
Don't fuck up your only good franchise IO.
Well.. I'll wait to hear/see more before I form a solid opinion.
Though, a separate story.. hmm.
hopefully it has a long and replayable storyline im hoping for over 15hours. that reallly should be the minimum for single player focused games. then after you haver achieved that add in challenges co op and other story based objectives, then add the competative multiplyer!
