H3 Pre-Launch Guide (Progression Carryover)

The pharmasist, for example, didnt return. There have been about 25, 26 ETs in Hitman 1, while in Hitman 2, it is only 21 in Hitman 2. And there are already the ten new ones included.

Ah OK. I’m probably getting confused because I believe in Hitman 1, all ETs got reran except Busey. I forgot that in Hitman 2, it didn’t work out that way. According to the wiki, Hitman 1 had 26 ETs, Hitman 2 only had 7 ETs, and the 7th ET was just the Undying again, which I think is the same aside from Sean Bean’s new eyepatch?

Don’t believe so, don’t think anything has been said about ETs in Hitman 3 atall, at least to my knowledge. I speculate and hope that it happens though because sooner or later, Hitman 3’s online content will probably be cut. So really, they have 3 options: ETs just become unplayable, ETs are just put on constant rotation in-game, or they add all of them in permanently and make them infinitly replayable. Personally, I want the third option to happen, especially after losing Ghost Mode, Sniper co-op, and Contracts will eventually die as well.

this is all that’s been mentioned regarding ET’s

Hopefully the change to the “formula” is that they’re just added into the game permanently.

I hope they do this at the end of the game’s life span, along with patching the perma-online requirement.

To be honest I feel like they are going to have to patch that sooner rather than later, since the Xbox One and PS4 versions are basically out of date already thanks to the newer consoles. Think those versions of Hitman 3 are going to be the first to have their online cut.

I said in another thread but I also reckon that in a year, we’re going to get a rerelease that basically bundles Hitman 1, 2, 3 and all DLC into one package. Kindof hoping that when that arrives, that is when they get stuff like the online, ETs, and maybe even the Sarajevo Six sorted.

Nope. PS4 and PS5 connect to a single server, and Xbox One and X|S connect to a single server too.

Huh, cool. I would of thought that the PS4 and Xbox One online stuff would get discontinued before the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X though, but I guess we’ll see.

Maybe they won’t recycle high profile elusive targets, such as Gary Busey or Sean Bean.

I vote for Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. You could change the ice cream shop of Sapienza into the fried chicken restaurant, Los Pollos Hermanos.

Meth lab associated with the laundry area in Mumbai.

Agent 47 even looks like Walter White.

I pre-ordered from GreenmanGaming and it’s just told me that I don’t actually get the key yet

Even though I pre-ordered it, will I miss out on the Trinity Pack if it’s not redeemed in EGS before launch?

Fixed it for ya :wink: (characters)

When can I pre download on PS5?
I can now select what to download but it won’t start once hit the OK button. I know it was for today that you could download H3

PS4/5 preload starts when the timer gets to 48 hours.

On the timer currently it shows 2d 10:37. I assume in 10 hours for now I can start the download :thinking:
I was really hoping to play it on midnight.

Should start automagically since you’ve set it to download.

IO have set the game for a global digital release time - 1PM UTC/GMT. The blog post makes it sound like the reason is because this will be when the servers will be up, but they’re on already. And discs will be officially available in some countries up to 26 hours before the digital release unlocks.

So it’s a bit of a headscratcher.

They do this so everyone could play it at the same time but in the meanwhile youtubers are playing the game 11 days earlier and publishing the videos online even with the ending. :roll_eyes:
I am very disappointed by this.

I’m just hoping that the progression carryover website is live for people that get discs on the release date ahead of the digital unlock.

I canned my digital preorder in favour of a disc so I can be jamming it earlier, and don’t really want to play for ~20 hours and then lose all the progress when I do the carryover.

But how does it works on console? There will be a pop out asking to transfer?
I understood you need the IOI account for this.

We don’t have exact details yet, but it seems to be that you log into your IOI account at http://account.ioi.dk/ and there will be options in there to do it since the IO account will be linked to the PSN account.

Ok I’m in but I don’t see anything like that, yet.
