Great reviews, I wanted to pick this up after Demon Souls but it might just be day one for me.
What are the benefits of the next gen versions?

It's sitting at an 88 on Metacritic with 36 reviews. Great scores! I'm glad Hitman ended off on a bang.
Almost Wednesday. Almost Wednesday. Almost Wednesday.
EDIT: Also, from what I've read, the finale is pretty wild. You're gonna want to avoid spoilers for this one and see it blind if you can manage it.

Its a shame we wont be seeing 47 for some time (at the very least) after this game but those reviews have me excited to jump into this one.

I wish I could get into these beloved games, as stealth is likely my favorite genre. I've tried and I think there is a lack of tension in the idea that you are meant to do an initial playthrough of a level, unlock all it's secrets and then go back to perfect the assassination. I suppose that misses the main ingredient I enjoy in a stealth game which is having your back to a wall, thinking on your feet, and improvising a way out under extremely tense circumstances. Something about Hitman seems to steal that feeling away from me and I wonder if it has to do with the design leaning towards unlockables and replayability. Not that I don't enjoy replaying my favorite games.
So yeah, it misses the mark for me, but clearly they are masters at their craft over at IO, so I'm glad the rest of you enjoy what they're doing. I'm hoping the James Bond game will cater to my tastes.

to do VR I think you have to download the PS4 version.

Don't trust reviews.
They're incentivized to sell you product.

Sick, I haven't done 2 yet so I'm going to wait until it's cheaper enough to pack 2 into 3 and play it all together.
Yeah, it's very much a create-your-own-fun type of game. I guess you would have to just jump immediately into the Silent Assassin challenges - kill only targets, hide all bodies, never spotted.

Yeah, there's a few like this, there's another version which is do all that, but also only ever in your own suit, another one has you only use a sniper rifle, etc. Sounds more like what you're looking for, but yeah, you do have to kind of set your own goals with Hitman.

VR mode is the way to play this but apparently it's harder.
Of course ign says the shooting is hard, yet there are videos of people absolutely destroying enemies with no problem at all. IGN probably missed something in the options or instructions like they did with borderlands VR and had to re-review it.

On next-gen consoles you can also expect a visual upgrade, as developer IO Interactive has confirmed that Hitman 3 will run in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with HDR support included on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.
The news was shared as part of the reveal of a new level, Chongqing, a Chinese transportation hub packed full of shops and food stands that are illuminated in the constant glow of neon lighting
The Glacier engine powering Hitman 3 is now also capable of rendering up to 300 non-playable characters in a single location at once, and water effects such as rain drops hitting Agent 47 and making his clothes wet, will also be used to create a more subtle layer of immersion.""

Will buy in 1.5 years from the gray market. A true shame the last game in the trilogy fell victim to exclusivity.

It’s difficult to believe that this one is so much better than last 2 that got 83 and 82 (PC) respectively (and they were phenomenal). More likely reviewers are desperate to leave Cyberpunk fiasco behind and reward well-made bug-free new release just before onset of likely big game drought. Just my theory.

Playstation dedicated sites that like guided experiences, well defined climbing holds, and mid-mission cutscenes?
Because they TRIED being up front about that and people hated them for it. This is still the original idea of having a single launcher and multiple seasons, just after the backlash they regrouped it up into game packs. The original season style meant we got MORE content during the first season as they released side missions and alts, which we never got for HITMAN 2 and most likely wont get for HITMAN III. But all that matters is the gameplay here, each new release bumps up the engine with new features, which work in the older maps, and provides a batch load of new maps, if they're fun and people like them, then that's all that matters right?

That update is sometime later this year. Hitman 2 brought back the old school mirror method of rendering the room all over again.

That's the appeal of these games. Dense and intricate maps with dopey NPCs to set up wild and ridiculous situations. The AI is dopey just in terms of setting up those situations (like luring them into another room by messing with a fuse box so you can knock them out and walk out with their uniform after their coworker just saw them go into that room). AI in MGSV is equally dopey in that respect. Same with Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. From a stealth detection standpoint, the game is fine.
If so many people are giving it great reviews, there's a reason. Especially when it comes to games like this or Dark Souls types that put almost no focus into narrative in favor of putting it all on gameplay. That 9 is well deserved.

For the story, yeah. Especially 2. You can buy and add them all to.3 if you want. Or just watch videos online.

Might just watch the videos. Would suck to work through 1 and 2 and then be burned out by the time you reach 3.

Yes, but the story is the weakest point by far, so I wouldn't sweat it. I'd recommend getting the cheaper 1 & 2 instead, and getting a feel for the gameplay. The 3rd doesn't really add anything revolutionary (besides PSVR support) such that you would want to play it before the other ones. It's more of the same.

looking damn good on psvr:
even with obvious downgrade to run in VR on PS4 at all, if this isn't the most technically impressive game on psvr, I don't know what is. Just being there having a drink is enough for me.

Game length is short if you only play through levels once, which isn't how Hitman is meant to be played. Game will last you a long time if you go after all challanges, unlocks, etc and enjoy replaying the levels.
The levels are enhanced yes. There are graphical and animation improvements, but I'm not sure exactly the details. Probably further enhancements like how 2 added things to Hitman 2016 levels too.

That's true for some reviewers, but you can trust Karak. He buys the games himself.

I'm so hype. Hitman 2016 and Hitman 2 are amongst my favourite games of the generation and probably of all time once I reflect on them in the future. Good scores so far. Incredible experience full of humour, personality and charm. Boom!

I’m new to the series. Is it recommended I play Hitman 1 and/or 2 first?

First dumb post of thread.
Its part of Trilogy. Same gameplay structure but with better designed maps. You want Hitman games to be like Absolution, more action focused or open world or like AC games with forced RPG elements or first person? Like what you want?
Uncharted games were all pretty much same across the board and all were 9+. So why bash Hitman?
