Ahh, like clockwork, a new HITMAN ā€œreleaseā€, a new wave of questions regarding what the best way to get everything isā€¦ (this time from the PSVR subreddit due to the hype)


Also, wow, the last few months have been a little bit of a roller coaster on the subreddit for Hitman fans!
People lamenting there being no PSVR2 port, the announcement, worry, and reveal of the now infamous Quest 3 version, and finally, today, with skeptical ā€œwait and seeā€ optimism? Kinda?

I had a look in one of the threads (the second one), and a lot of it is justā€¦not cautionary at all. About 80% of the comments are just hype for this to be released and a fair portion are even questioning why people had a problem with the original PSVR version to begin with. There are a lot of people agreeing that it wasnā€™t that bad at all.

In fairness, there are quite a few people who are suggesting getting the base ā€œflatscreen gameā€ and deluxe because itā€™s a good game even without VR, but this is certainly not the response I expected.

Thereā€™s very little cynicism or cautious optimism in the thread, thereā€™s barely any talk about it being exclusive. Itā€™s justā€¦hyping up a new VR version. The upvotes seem to indicate people are aware of the issue and either donā€™t see it like that, or donā€™t care out of apathy or for simply being uninformed.

Just a lilā€™ vignette for you all. I was not expecting so much positivity.

Right, sorry, I guess I didnā€™t quite word that correctly, there is quite a bit of hype for this for sure.

But to put peopleā€™s off-the-cuff excitement into context though, this IS the last major VR device to get access to the mode, with the original PSVR1, the many PCVR devices and the standalone Quest 3 crowd already accounted for. (Despite how awful and insulting that Q3 port might beā€¦)

Plus, a lot of people have felt that some of PSVRā€™s library is a bit lacking when it comes to major releases, especially from Sony themselves (whoā€™ve been practically non-existent with their output since launch)

Soā€¦ this is a pretty major IP and an exciting addition to the catalogue for those who have it at the very least. :slightly_smiling_face:

Also, to be fair, Iā€™m sure the majority of people who frequent that sub most likely only have a PSVR device on console, and no way to play those VR games at a similar quality on PC.
So, probably not much talk about PCVR. Also, IOI actually havenā€™t mentioned this is a PS Exclusive either, which they probably would if this were a full-on Sony development deal.

They didnā€™t the first time around, despite the fact it was pretty clear to everyone that it was. That sardonic quote I gave a few comments back was based on truth. IO really did act like that.

:joy::joy: speaking of them, they are in the files, @Dribbleondo is in the process on giving me a better insight into it

The PSVR1 implementation was what it was. Outside of getting the headset and the game, the mode was free. Therefor it can kinda be jank compared to games built for the headset.

The PSVR2 mode being a purchase raises expectations. Curious to see reception after release. I donā€™t think itā€™ll be a reason to go out and get a headset, but Iā€™m not in a position to own one myself so whatever.

These features making their way back to PC isnā€™t impossible, but this screams a PS deal with exclusivity window. IO are certainly juggling a lot of exclusivity deals with things. Bond must be taking too long to make, imo.

I talked this upgrade into existence. Very well now; make sure you give freelancer mode support and love. I would pay more for full VR support through the entirety of 3D content, not just main story support. Make it an upgrade worth production and our support. PSST took long enough to decide on. Also, I have only ever played freelancer. If that mode does not make it to PSVR2, neither will the Hitman upgrade make it on to my game library. ā€œFACTS HAVE SPOKEN.ā€ Itā€™s the best part of the entire game, in my opinion.
