Support NeoGAF

[Shadow2222]

I wonder if this means controller support for the PC versions

Believe me, I wish. I bought them on a Steam sale thinking that they had controller support and haven't been able to play them at all (I have desktop connected to tv and use a wireless keyboard which has a touchpad mouse built in, so no non-controller games are even playable).

 

[fernoca]

Nice cover.
Absolution is on the way thanks to Amazon ($35). Will get this too.

 

[stn]

Wish Hitman 1 for PC was in this package instead of Blood Money, though I own them all anyway.

EDIT: That is such an awesome cover.

 

[Jrpgfanatic]

Would I be missing any significant story by not playing the PC only Hitman 1? That's what has been stopping me from getting into these games.

 

[Derrick01]

def getting this, only got around to completing H2 a classic, Blood Money i didnt finish but really great.

Whats the word on Contracts?

Pretty forgettable compared to silent assassin and blood money but it's no absolution at the very least.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

No. Contracts will cover you up.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

I am interested in this, never played a Hitman game before so this is my chance, I may play the original game though I'm not entirely sure.

 

[DukeBobby]

Contracts isn't forgettable at all. It has some of the best missions in the series.

 

[The_Monk]

Might get for the Art Book too! Love those things.

 

[ScOULaris]

This is a motherfucking DAY 1 purchase for me. I'm a diehard Hitman fan, and this will be exactly what I need to wash the bad Absolution aftertaste from my palette.

If anyone here has only played Absolution, PLEASE go out and by this trilogy release. You have to understand how good this series used to be before it was bastardized.

 

[Heart Attack]

$10 dollars or bust!!

 

[_RT_]

Huh. Never played the series before Absolution. I'll definitely pick this up.

 

[Pikma]

Getting it, at least we know those are real Hitman games, can't believe I'm more excited to play (again) these three old games than a brand new sequel. IO was very good at killing my hype for Absolushit.

 

[CREMSteve]

I LOVE the cover, will buy this, for sure. Have yet to play a Hitman game, but my hype for Absolution remains and this is perfect timing to capitalize on that.

 

[Noisepurge]

will buy the limited edition!

Contracts is fuckin' awesome!

I use Xpadder and it works really good. I would rebuy to get proper controller support.

 

[VeryGooster]

I think I'll double dip. I was glad when they put out a Hitman Trilogy set on PS2 a few years back. I only ever owned SA before that.

 

[jimi_dini]

Someone plz confirm that the Premium Edition will also be available in Europe.

 

[CREMSteve]

What's with the offset of the artwork on the 360 version? On PS3, it's centered, on 360, the right edge is almost gone?

PS3-exclusive right side box art. It's the hot new trend in the industry.

 

[kiyomi]

The artbook cover is so much nicer than the trilogy cover.

Anyways, I will probably get this, maybe not day 1 though. Love them Hitman games.

 

[Amagon]

Can I has Contracts on Steam pretty please?

 

[Jhoan]

I have the collection for PS2; beat H2: SA and BM. I got 1000/1000 in BM for 360. Tried to get into Contracts, but the Mansion mission frustrated me so I gave up. Not sure if I'll triple dip; the art book is tempting though.

 

[skarabrae]

Awesome! I can finally complete my Hitman collection. Was worried that getting Absolution wasn't going to yield some HD collection of the previous games.

It was mentioned briefly that Contracts will get me up to speed if I haven't played 1. So would people recommend doing Contracts first, then 2, then Blood Money?

 

[Square Triangle]

So are they saying Blood money wasn't in HD on the 360?

 

[rvy]

Why would you sell a game with that boxart? Are they trying not to sell the game?

 

[Salsa]

use the book cover as the boxart ffs

 

[rvy]

I find it hard to believe that anyone from marketing looked at that artwork and said "Yeah, this is our cover. Top notch stuff".
They're trying to boycott their own sales I tell you.

 

[GAMERG0D]

I think the boxart is fine. Still not sure which platform I should pick this up for.

 

[blindrocket]

SPLOOGE

I played Blood Money on PS2 and it was a great experience. I hope that they don't botch this port up on PS3.

 

[rouken]

what's that pixelated hitman game in the artbook?

 

[lunch]

I love the cover. It has such a wonderful Broken Sword, detective novel vibe.

what's that pixelated hitman game in the artbook?

It's not a Hitman game, it's one of a series "never before seen reinterpretations of classic Hitman moments by top artists."

 

[SirIgbyCeaser]

So is it the 360 version of blood money on PS3? Or are they all just PC builds on consoles?

 

[Tomat]

Oh hell yeah, I am all fucking over this on release.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Proper hitman games coming this gen!

 

[doniewhalberg]

Brilliant. February. Just when I have nothing to play

Excited for this though. I loved absolution and after all the fuss I heard about how it's not as good as the others, I look forward to check them out myself.

 

[Xanadu]

why do all these collector packs miss out the first game? so fucking stupid

 

[Hindle]

I'd have preferred them to release the old Hitman levels as DLC, revamped using the Absolution engine.

 

[Carl]

What a horrible cover art.

 

[Persona86]

Pretty forgettable compared to silent assassin and blood money but it's no absolution at the very least.

I'm curious, did you even buy Absolution?

 

[TedBundysNips]

Is the art book releasing in the UK do we know?

 

[Grief.exe]

Mmm delicious 720p

Of course they aren't releasing a PC version, we are already running 1080p+.

why do all these collector packs miss out the first game? so fucking stupid

Well in Whitman's defense, the first game was essentially remade as contracts.

 

[ScOULaris]

I'm curious, did you even buy Absolution?

Whether he did or not, he's right on the money. Absolution is shit compared to every other Hitman game. It really is Hitman: Conviction.

 

[Jrpgfanatic]

I wonder if the LE is going to follow the recent awful trend of not including a proper game case for the game (like the Absolution professional edition among many others). I've passed on a number of limited editions in the few years because they're cheaping out and putting the damn disks in a cardboard folio with the other LE stuff. Having to put these with your normal game cases means they'll be badly dinged up before long, even if you're careful.

 

[Persona86]

Well it was still fun, but I agree in "some" ways.
Did you complete the game?

Spoiler

The end suggests that the next game will go back to the good old hitman style we know

I haven't completed it yet, but I find myself lacking motivation to press on. I just don't enjoy it very much at all. I'm currently in the middle of the Dexter Industries level, which I realize is considered to be the worst in the game.

 

[Interfectum]

Nah we could use a Hitman HD Collection on PC: Contracts, proper controller support, steam achievements, etc.

 

[Principate]

I don't get the love for the art book cover seems pretty bland, like the covers of those random thriller books you see in a book store which I pass over and never look twice at. Even the actual cover looks better trhan that to me.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Screens

 

[Zaventem]

Sounds good.Cover is better than most,not good but it's not embarrassing.The 3 hitman games in that bunch have superior covers.
