Will the game have a platinum trophy?

Good question..

I don't know. Maybe you'll get it if you've played all of the episodes and did all of the jazz in them?

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't platforms get achievement parity? If not, the PS4 version might have more things to tick off for that 100% completion rate, what with it getting six exclusive hits.

 

[dreamfall]

Whoa is the beta live? Just went offline and I'm playing something?!

Edit; Ah, playable now!

 

[B99]

I really hope you can turn off most of the UI, especially the objectives on the left ugh.

I don't understand why devs always have to put everything so in your face. Just give 47 a map or phone and let us look up that stuff there.

Stop with the hand holding IO, please.

Options>Settings>Gameplay gives you options to turn a lot of things off; mini-map, NPC Icons, Attention meter, Interaction Highlight etc. For the beta, they are on by default.

 

[Luq]

I'm in the same situation, I'm just going to be patient and wait till the beta gets close to opening tomorrow.

Your patience was an correct approach - it finally worked on PS Store. Time for a download!

 

[tanuki]

The beta for PSN orders should be up in about an hour, right?

 

[Foffy]

According to Travis at IO, apparently so. :3

 

[Screaming Meat]

Much excite. Just have to get through work... only 6 1/2 hours to go!

 

[Raxious]

Does the UK trick work? pre-order from there, get the beta and then cancel the order?

 

[MMaRsu]

Ahh just when I have to go to work they put it on eu psn ofcourse

 

[Bright-Light]

Yeah will work.

 

[Bright-Light]

I cannot find it anywhere.
I want it nooowwwww!!!!!

 

[Karu]

Didn't show up for me yet.

I don't appreciate unpunctuality.

 

[Alkastelca]

Nothing yet on EU store and it's past 11.00 CET

;_;

 

[SomTervo]

When I pre-order digitally on PSN, do I get charged?

Or is it like Amazon- can I pre-order, get the code, then cancel?

Cheeky bastards, we are.

 

[jamesjmorton]

EU Store link

 

[Karu]

It's online on PSN. Woo.

EU PSN: Like Amazon.

Thanks, chin-man,.

 

[Bright-Light]

Beta up now on EU.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Beta up now on EU.

HNNNG

That is all.

 

[Loomba]

3GB left to download. Actually excited, haven't played a good Hitman in years.

 

[Spoo]

When should this be up for the US PSN?

 

[Venom Fox]

Downloading now! Also times are in the OP.

 

[MidnightHour]

Downloading, can't wait to play! Need my Hitman fix.

 

[Szadek]

I will nor play the beta, but I really like to know what everyone here thinks about the game.
Chances are I will wait for the final release before buying the game, but it depends a bit on the feedback.

 

[Jb]

When should this be up for the US PSN?

I read somewhere around 8AM PST...

The feedback from the Alpha swayed me.

Bugs and hiccups aside, this is literally Blood Money 2 in all but name. If you're a Hitman fan, either Blood Money or Silent Assassin are the most well-regarded games, so it trying to hit what many consider the magnum opus of the franchise is wonderful to hear.

Amazing, I can't wait!

Spoiler

I rate Contracts much higher than SA: better atmosphere, better AI, less travel/non-hit mission filler.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Downloading from AU store, had to reboot PS4 for the beta to show up in the store.

4.7GB download size lol

 

[Covfan]

I'm broadcasting this on twitch if anyone wants to watch http://www.twitch.tv/covfan

 

[tanuki]

Oh man, it's great, definitely a return to Blood Money Hitman. I'd like to turn off all the hints though, too much revealed playing the game. I do like some of the hints though, like the dots above the heads of the guys who can see through your disguise. Not sure what to turn off in the options.

The framerate is a bit janky, hope that gets fixed in the final game.

I didn't realise there were going to be two different levels to play through, that was a nice surprise!

I believe there's an option called Settings. Either it's in the pause menu, or a menu before selecting a mission.

EU PSN: Like Amazon.

Thanks, just downloading for free

 

[B00TE]

Can't wait to play this tonight. How meaty are the two prologue missions? Not expecting much, but I want some room to experiment.

 

[TVexperto]

EU PSN: Like Amazon.
US PSN: Not like Amazon.

But they charge your credit account on EU PSN and after you cancel it they wont put the money back on your card: instead they will add it to your account, thats what happened to me.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Question: can you turn the Opportunities indicators off but still, like, do them yourself?

Does that make sense?

 

[thenexus6]

I want to know how good the soundtrack is please!

 

[B99]

Question: can you turn the Opportunities indicators off but still, like, do them yourself?

Does that make sense?

Yeah, that's possible. If you turn them off, you can still overhear conversations and piece together the clues and do all of the actions in the opportunity, just without any guidance about it.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Nice one. I don't know about anyone else, but the joy I get from Hitman is in discovering ludicrous ways to murder people, so that's perfect. Forcibly spelling it out would've been deeply depressing.

 

[Symphonia]

Downloading now. Kinda bummed to hear about the framerate, but I can live with it. I'll just lock my capture card to 30FPS and pray for the best.

 

[Foffy]

I know you can tamper them, so that at least means getting full information, or it being like hints on the minimap and the like. The Alpha had it much like the latter.

You mean like the old exclamation marks that were on the maps in the older games? I can live with that (I think), especially if higher difficulties remove them completely.

 

[Foffy]

You mean like the old exclamation marks on lower difficulty levels on the older games? I can live with that, especially if higher difficulties remove them completely.

Essentially. If they didn't change the icons from the alpha, the hints/opportunities look like puzzle pieces on the map.

 

[John Caboose]

Man this feels good. If the yacht is anything to go by I will thoroughly enjoy this game.

Cool. Thanks, man.

 

[Loomba]

[MiamiWesker]

So the Amazon thing works with the collectors edition? I can order and cancel in the US?

 

[dEvAnGeL]

Can i get a beta code without preordering digitally?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Okay this poster is awesome.
