This kinda makes up for Amazon delivering DS3 2 days after release.

Yeah, got minee too. No preorder bonus yet, but maybe those are delivered later.
All amazon downloader does is download text-file with your key.

Okay, so I pre-ordered 'The Full Experience'. All the new levels and stuff will just automatically download as they're released?

Well every time I've bought an episodic Hitman game that's what's happened, so I imagine so.

Anyone know why the game didn't unlock at midnight and I still gotta wait another hour?
PS4? Apparently the PS4 digital release is 12am PST instead of 12am EST.
Waiting on the weast coast.
Hi everyone, sorry to interrupt the thread.
Quick question, how is this game for somebody like me who's never played a Hitman game before? Is it quite accessible, or will I need knowledge from the previous games? I quite like the idea of episodic content as I won't feel like I've wasted too much money if I don't like it, but id still rather not spend anything at all if it's going to be too esoteric.

Just started this up on PS4 and it's making it go into overdrive. Sounds like a jet engine lol. Might have to use that framerate lock after all.

The tutorial covers most bases that you'll need to succeed in this game. Having experience in the previous titles (Absolution to a minor extent) will definitely help, but the gameplay is pretty straightforward and gives you a lot of freedom with how you approach the 3 levels (Episode 1/intro pack includes 2 "tutorial" missions and Paris).
Steam unlock time sucks ass.
Going to check this out tonight after work. I'd count myself as a casual fan, only having played through Blood Money a few times, which I really liked, and I almost finished Absolution (ha).
Looking forward to playing this, having really liked the previews. The digital foundry video was reassuring too, as I found the beta performance quite irritating. Just a shame the load times sound like a killer, and hopefully they can improve on those.
Also just wanted to stop in and say how perfect the thread title is.

Steam is a dumb idiot. Is there an online manual somewhere for key bindings? I'm gonna bind my steam controller to pass the time.

how frequent are the updates/episodes is it every month?

If what I read on Reddit was right, Episode 2-3 are coming out in April and May, but the remaining 3 haven't been confirmed to be June/July/August.
Unlocked at 3am so I dipped in for about an hour and a half. Already noticed a lot of nice changes from the beta, like that big ol' TRESPASSING text now just neatly being put in the corner of the minimap along with a warning symbol by objects like the mine so you know people will be suspicious if they see you interact with it.
I was in the Paris level for around 10 minutes just walking around and the sheer amount of dialogue and detail is nuuuuuuuuts. I'm calling it there so I can really focus in on it tomorrow, but I'm really excited to dig into it.

Does anybody know if you can still get the pre-order bonus by purchasing via the PSN store? Thanks!

What? You can`t play the story part without being connected?
You can start offline and play without problem. But if you start online and the connection to the server is lost you're kicked.

I don't have the game yet but how does Contracts work? Can you actually download contracts created by other players or only your own created ones?

Jesus christ these server interruptions that kick you out of a map that takes like 90 seconds to load.

You can download other player's Contracts.
Basically, you select 1-3 targets, carry out the hit(s) yourself, decide a few modifers based on how you carried out said hits, then upload it. Simples!

If you pre-order the Intro Pack on steam do you get the pre-order bonuses?

Hitman up on steam yet? Pre-loaded it about 2 hours ago but have yet to check and my pc is off rn.

I still can't find any modifers besides targets, disguise and weapon. Contracts mode is a joke so far. Huge disappointment.

I uh haven't tried it myself yet >.> I assumed it was essentially the same as H:A.
None of these are in?

Blood Money, arguably the quintessential Hitman game, is only a couple of quid/dollars on Steam right now. Well worth your time. Its a very different type of stealth game to those two (but I love all three).

The Paris map is insane btw. I've been walking around this thing for 2 hours and still can't decide how to approach my targets.

Man, I can't wait (hence why I'm hovering in this thread rather than working). I tried to stay up last night to have a quick run but work's been bollocks lately, so I crashed.
How does it rank against the series highlights?
Don't really have the time to invest in a full length game right now, that's another reason I'm interested in this.

So what's the consensus on this then? Worth picking up now or wait until it's all out?

This game looks like a lot of fun, but I'm gonna wait for the whole game to be finished. If I buy it now I know I'll end up getting bored and most likely wont download the content released down the line.

That's really awesome. Sounds like something you won't get tired of anytime soon.
The game needs an internet connection at all times? Sigh,..that's not a good thing. For Contracts i understand, but not for the SP. Is this on console or PC?

Ah, fair enough. In that case, yeah, its as good a time as any to jump in
Yeah, they turned a community meta game into a full blown mode. Some of the Contracts from Absolution were pretty mental.
