Sounds promising. So it's safe to jump in on PS4?

8 hours until I can go home to play. Going to be a slow work day.

Yeah its safe. havent had any disconnections since the beta honestly, the first map Paris has some slowdown if you unlock the fps. The second level is much better.

From what I was able to see in the flyover trailers and whatnot, the crowds are a lot more sparse, so that makes sense. If that's the case, I expect Marrakesh to be Paris levels of slowdown.

Good to hear! Will give it a spin!

Well hopefully they are able to tighten it up to lvl 5

The second mission could come in a pair of weeks, or even between episode releases. We don't know.
But in the last leak there were some photos in night setting (see last page) which makes it more "real".

Hey Canada GAF, anyone able to download the Sapienza level yet? The purchase option is there for me, but no download
Same problem. Purchased the full version already and the upgrade pack shows that too but the game thinks otherwise.

East Coast US here, same deal. I think I remember seeing it was supposed to pop at around 9 pst, so around noonish? I'll have to kick off the download when I get home from work, which means I *might* be able to play tonight. My PS4's wifi is notoriously awful.

Didn't realise this was out today. Geez. Probably going to upgrade to the full experience or whatever. Paris was so good.

Oh bummer. I bought the upgrade pack thinking ep 2 was already downloaded. Ugh, I just wanna play Square.

Hook a cable up? Ps4 wifi is horrible.

So no preload this time on steam? Doesn't even seem to be on the steam store yet.

there was no preload for paris either, it had to be downloaded manually after the release of the game
at least that's how it was for me

Gamesradar negatives are stupid. A fix to the connection drop is already available on PC and it's coming soon for consoles (you will be able to reconnect instead of being booted to the menu like before). The second negative is even more stupid. It's an episodic game, no point in puting this as a negative everytime a new episode releases. It's like complaining that a TV show is bad because it's not following the Netflix style of release. Shitty review.

I'm on the PS app on my phone and on the store but I don't see any listing of episode 2. Like others have said it'll probably be up at 12pm EST.Hey Canada GAF, anyone able to download the Sapienza level yet? The purchase option is there for me, but no download

They've still given it a good score, and until the patch is released on all platforms the issue still persists when the review is done.
I've just bought the intro pack, so time to see how things are!

Eh, it's the kind of negative that means "it's so good we want the rest noow!", not a serious negative point.
NeoRaider

Exactly. That's how i see it too.

Yeah, but I have the PS4 hooked up in the office, and the router is downstairs. I might haul it down, hook it up, and let it ride while cooking dinner. That might work.
...or I can go back to my Dark Souls run and try to actually beat Ornstein & Smough. Screw those guys.
Defended these network issues closer to release because it's a new game and every game seems to have network issues on release. Now that I'm still experiencing consistent disconnects over a month later and on their second content release is unacceptable. Terrible idea that is really ruining a great game.

It didn't sound like that to me. It sounded like " The episodic release was a huge mistake on Hitman, the game would be Blbetter if all of it was available at once."

I notice Steam is saying that an update will be released at the same time as the new mission(s). So I'm guessing the patch will download automatically but I will have to manually initiate the new levels? Seems a bit messy.

Played for about an hour and haven't even approached the targets yet.
This location is massive, all those streets, sewers, small shops, buildings with multiple floors... Sneaking also seems harder here than around Paris where you could easily get almost everywhere in Helmut disguise.
Also, do targets ever leave the mansion? I've seen some stuff for unique kills in town, is it just for future escalation and user-made contracts?

So wait did Sapienza come out on the ps4 yesterday or today? I went to check the game and it told me I had to buy the level yesterday even though I bought the full experience. And then I couldn't find the Sapienza level anywhere

It depends of your time zone.

Im in the Pacific time zone.

Midnight yesterday in UK. So 'today' if you are in US.
I had the same problem, I thought the 1.04 update would preload the new level, but like you Sapienza showed as not bought in game despite me having the season pass.
Turns out you need to search for the dlc in the PS store, which should show as free for you, and download from there.
Level is available for $10.
Ah okay thanks.

For those on Console that are experiencing framerate issues after the last patch, one of the devs responded on the Hitman Forums:
"Just a quick note. We’re aware of the framerate issues you're discussing here on consoles and have already got some fixes in the pipeline. If all goes to plan, we hope to have them released with a game update at some point next week.
Full details will, as always, come via the blog." - by Travis_IOI
Also, the Full Experience and the Intro Pack are on 10% sale for PSN+ users.

Sorry but are you on ps4? Check your network settings because Ive not had a disconnect in ages. Maybe once?
MMaRsu

You need the intro pack tho, which is 15.
What's to check? I'm connected and it works fine on all other games but likes disconnecting me mid mission on Hitman. Had hardly any issues last month playing Paris while others where having a nightmare with disconnects, while I've already had two disconnects on Sapienza today. It's clearly issues on their end.
