"You'll once more jump into the shoes of Agent 47 as you pull off seemingly impossible assassinations. Using a variety of deadly weapons and tools, you'll also be able to align with post-mission Playstyles that you receive based on how you go about completing objectives. Of course, as always, that will vary based on how you decide you want to play the game. There will be a variety of paths to take for each kill.

Hitman 3 is headed to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (as an Epic Games Store exclusive), and Stadia on January 20, 2021. It's also coming to Switch with a special cloud version. If you're a fan what Agent 47 has to offer, you won't want to miss this entry."

So I'm the only one that thinks that looks kind of like poop for a game to be released in 2021? I mean it looks washed out very low res and the reflections in the window are a blurry jaggy mess.
 
i feel like it looks like the last hitman game that was relesased.
 
They completely botched the game's release with the Epic exclusivity and lack of ability to import content from Steam or elsewhere. They're "looking into it", but in the meantime they're doing a half-hearted promotion where you get Hitman 1 if you pre-order or buy within 10 days of release...but you have to buy Hitman 2 again on Epic store. Fuck you too, IO Interactive. I have a fuzzy feeling they still forgot to include dual wielding Ballers in this game as well. They have a knack for spiting the fans.

Probably a console game getting a crappy port to PC
 
I enjoyed 2 but I'm gonna wait on this one. Not a big enough fan to buy on release, plus the EGS stuff and lack of current plans for carry-over is troubling. Probably will wait for a Gold/GOTY edition on Steam.

IO Interactive has changed tack on its earlier statement about levels from Hitman 2 not being freely available in Hitman 3 for owners of both...an update to the Hitman 3 Pre-Launch Guide notes that, "We are continuing to work on a solution with our partners to allow PC players who own HITMAN 1 or HITMAN 2 to import locations from those games into HITMAN 3 at no additional cost."

"We can guarantee that players will NOT need to repurchase the games", the IO site says

Well, can't say how it plays, but it looks like ass. Feel like I just fired up a game in 2010.

7.5/10

From Worth A Buy: Fun missions that are best of series, some bugs and weak AI.

The disco mission looks fun.

 
So did they figure out how to let owners of the previous games import content across digital retailers? Or is the plan to figure it out after the 1-year exclusivity wears off?

EDIT: I just realized in their clever wording is that you will never be able to import your progress over. At best you can re-play the old locations but they have made no indication that progress from previous games will transfer over.

There are a ton of unlockables in the previous games and there's zero indication that you will be able to consolidate that content as you would expect and as you were previously able to with Hitman 1 + 2. In other words, if you already played the games on other digital platforms, you will be missing out if you buy this on Epic store.

Just bought hitman 3 on epic games store, 50% off.
Can rtx 3060 12gb run the game at ultra and over 60fps at 1080p?
Let's say rdr2 can't, after the game benchmark I get 33/86/68 fps min / max / avg.
