As long as HITMAN 3 isn’t out yet, it’s hard to answer

2016 will always have a place in my heart, but it definitely feels a lot more grounded than H3’s cutscenes. i like that H3’s are in-engine and gives them more flexibility

Dubai starting and post-dubai are out though. I saw them on YT.

Youtube is not the same like you watching them directly in the game.
From what I’ve seen, I prefer H3 better, but I need to experience it on my own.
You understand what I mean

Yeah, I understand. Watching them yourself after completing a mission has a different feeling.

There was noting that beat the moment when this E3 trailer dropped in 2011. 5 Years without anything official and we get this full length cinematic. Still holds up today.

Were the cinematics handled by Square Enix for Absolution and 2016? I remember reading somewhere that it was a company called VisualWorks. Both games’ cinematics looked amazing although less ‘flexible’

The cinematics for where done by a third party, not sure who did the Legacy trailer though. But I don’t think it was IO.

Platigue made some of them :

My favourite from 2016 is definitely Call Me 47/Legacy Cinematic Trailer. The visual recreations of the best kills from previous games, the dialogue, the music makes me cry, literally.

The 2016 cinematics were the best hands down :ok_hand:
They did a pretty amazing job with character rendering and animations.

However IOI has also proven since H2 that they also can make good cinematics using the engine, and it’s definitely way better than some “stand still” renders :+1:

Some people also said they’ve remastered the still cinematics in this sequel. Looking forward to see the final result :blush:

I also miss how the Constant´s - and Grey´s too actually - voice was much calmer and lacking the sort of “exaggeration” it has in H2. It added so much to the mystery and appeal of both characters…

lucas grey in h2016 was absolutely magnetic whenever he was on screen. h2 proved to me it wasn’t just his lovely voice.

that’s only the best trailer in the entire series.

While H2016 has beautiful and polished cinematics with attention to detail that’s delicious, I prefer the ones of H2 DLC/H3 solely because I really appreciate a lot the use of in-game engine to make these in videogames.

Still, the ones from the trailers and H2016 are breathtaking and beautiful.

I’m taking a good guess the H2 DLC cutscenes were also mo-capped to some degeree.

While I loved the cinematics in 16. I always prefer cutscenes in ingame engine in any game. Makes it feel more all one big part.
