But in my 15 minute experience I don’t see myself going back. Even with the PS4’s technical limitations in rendering NPC crowds and lighting effects, it’s great to have the option there for those willing to give it a shot. ![]() Honestly, playing Hitman in VR is a really rough experience. However, on PS5 you will need to download and use the PS4 version of the game, as VR is incompatible with the PS5 version. Within the PlayStation, Xbox, and PC platforms (though there is currently an issue of compatibility between Steam and Epic Store for now), it’s possible to import every mission from Hitman (2016) and Hitman 2-and in the case of PlayStation, the entire trilogy can now be played with PSVR. That said, due to playing a pre-launch version of the game, I did experience a couple of bugs: mostly just the odd set of environmental models not loading in, or NPC dialogue cutting through each other.Īn interesting feature in Hitman 3 that’s exclusive to PlayStation, is VR compatibility. Some of the stages feature dense crowds, complex lighting, and environment particles, with the PS5 handling all of this with ease. I mostly played the PS5 version, and was able to drink in all the fancy reflections, lighting, and smooth 60 FPS Hitman 3 offers thanks to next-gen power. Save scummers (like me) will have a much better time at trial & error testing situations, with the advent of faster saving and loading. The menus, UI, and overall gameplay remains virtually identical-though saving and loading feels so much smoother and quicker thanks to the next-gen SSD storage of the Xbox Series X|S and PS5. The musical accompaniment to the first moments of breaking into Dubai’s Sceptre tower had me grinning from ear to ear.Īs mentioned earlier, Hitman 3 doesn’t make any changes to its formula, so those familiar with its 20 entries will feel right at home here. Adding to the excitement all throughout the game is its dynamic soundtrack, that effortlessly transitions between electronic sounds and orchestral climaxes. The beginning of the first mission has Agent 47 leap from a plane, parachuting onto the world’s tallest building (in the game’s story) in Dubai, and sneakily infiltrating a high-society soirée. ![]() While the game definitely encourages discretion in making the kill, it’s also completely open to the idea of Agent 47 going in guns blazing-but you’d be making things even harder for yourself to get in and out effectively.Įven for long-time fans, Hitman 3 kicks off in a much more exciting and dramatic way than its predecessors. Instead of thinking of Hitman as an action or stealth game, I like to think of it more as becoming a chameleon that’s trying to solve an ever-morphing puzzle. It’s probably the best video game example of the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” that I can remember in recent years.Ī quick catch-up on what the game is for newcomers: Hitman as a series from 2016 places Agent 47, the player character, in large sandbox environments with the task of assassinating a target in whatever way they wish. ![]() While creating all-new missions with branching paths to knock off targets in as many ways as possible, it also manages to feel completely familiar for returning players. Hitman 3 is IO Interactive’s conclusion to its World of Assassination trilogy that began in 2016’s Hitman reboot.
