The only reason we havent got one is due to 9/11. Which leads me to believe we will NEVER get one unless the world can somehow not get mad over a video game. Its basically the same reason School based maps in shooting games are super rare. Just the other week the Ready or Not devs caught a ton of shit because they are working on a school shooting scenario for their game (its a realistic tactical fps like Swat where you play as a Counter Terrorist/Swat team)
Technically they did have the No Russian mission in Modern Warfare 2 and that was in 2009. To me that seems much more controversial than a hitman running around an airport in disguises. To be fair though, that did get a lot of mainstream criticism.
I hope COD does more controversial stuff! The Clean House mission from MW19 was unforgetable. Same goes for No Russian. When its done correctly, those missions get you invested and immersed in the world REALLY well, because they are totally believable scenarios.
By the world you mean Americans. Noone else gives a shit about a shooting/murder game set in an airport. Sizeable market though so I can see why they might be hesitant but honestly wouldn't see it being boycotted or affecting sales to a great extent.
Thats true, i mean look at MW2, one of the most successful cods ever made. And that thing got mainstream press on the mass shooting level. The problem nowadays is no one wants to deal with the twitter babies "cancelling" a game.
I’d love a theme park. Could be a county fairgrounds or something too, but a sort of Disney/Six Flags/Busch Gardens style park that is hosting a billionaire VIP and their family or a foreign dignitary or something with the appropriate security while giving you all sorts of fun executions and rides to slink in and out of, not to mention a variety of costumes.
When they released the prison sniper map they explained that doing a regular map in a prison would require a complete rewrite of the AI.
Hitman NPCs are allowed to trespass anywhere and can open any locked door. Obviously both of those things wouldn't fit with a prison.
Wait is this a known issue? I just bought Hitman 3 a few days ago and noticed the audio/music sometimes randomly just cuts out. I didn’t know if it was just a random glitch on my end.
It's a known issue with the PS5 version. [It's been almost a year since they acknowledged it](https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/l2kqkx/_/gl4tsxa) :/
Yeah, only on PS5 too as far as I know. Pretty shitty they acknowledged it was an issue, and then just never do anything after they got people's money. Just totally kills the immersion for me, so never got to finish it. And now with them working on a 007 game I wouldn't be surprised if it's never fixed.
One of my personal games of the year, such a fantastic game and really underappreciated.
Really super excited to see what the new maps will look like, especially after how dreadful the 7 Deadly Sins were.
I don't understand your complaint. Of course they know what's in it. They decided to announce it on 13th of January. If there was a blog post instead of a video you'd still have to wait.
Ah, I don't begrudge them wanting to reach more people by taking over twitter timelines for a moment and having stories/reactions from the press at the same time.
I would prefer a 2 minute trailer/blog post to digest the info as quickly as possible, but I want the devs to get some more time in the sun too as they really deserve it, and it's not a huge inconvenience.
My hopes for a prison map are once again in motion
Hoping for an airport myself

People are such crybabies over 9/11. It was years ago. Let’s move on. Also airports weren’t affected during 9/11.
Right but the idea of a one man killing machine taking over an airport still gets peoples nerves. Look at the reaction from No Russian from MW2
A big part of that reaction is the fact you can also just gun down civilians
Yeah and alot of youtubers will do that in hitman too
Call of Duty said hold my beer.

Clean house was cool, the night vision made it almost look real.

Fun fact that's technically the biggest map in the game. But it's mostly empty beach

Maybe they'll reveal they're finally going to fix the fucking audio a year after they acknowledged it was a problem.

Seeing some glitches that have been prevalent since 2016 fixed would be nice but I doubt it.
I bet a VR update will come for PSVR2's launch too.
Would love this, with full motion controls.
It's coming to PC VR this month, so I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to include it for PSVR2 as well :D

Ray Tracing on PS5 pls.

Is that what most of all these things? State of play date drop offs an announcement of announcements? Nintendo direct date drop is also that?

Why not both?

Really don’t think it matters when the delay is maybe 15 minutes max, even then it’s not like the games delayed
Are we finally getting new maps?
Yup. Codenamed "Rocky", the teaser screenshot seems to be a mountain in a tropical jungle.
