Hitman HD Trilogy?!

[-3xA'Lu©κy the disappearing act]

Anyone interested in this? Because I am. This thread should've been made earlier but I'm hoping this trilogy is planned for next-gen as that would mean there's a pretty good chance of it coming to PC.

Hitman 2 suffers massive slow downs while using D3D rendering; Open Gl causes lighting issues and all characters to be black.

Contracts suffers from a low FoV at high resolutions and an incredibly fat Agent 47 -- due to stretching.

Blood Money suffers depth of field issues (even on max settings), crashes and has numerous bugs that were never addressed.

All-in-all: I'd gladly buy the Hitman HD Trilogy on PC with its minor improvements, general facelifts and without the technical issues these old games still possess on PC.

Well, to be honest - after starting to play the second part after the last few, I have to say it did not age that well, gameplaywise. The AI feels clumsy, the missions seem to be have little variation and the levels are just empty compared to current games. I'd prefer some DLC for Contracts, Blood Money or Absolution towards the attempt of relaunching a game clearly over its best before date any time.
The first two were not bad games, but they clearly had their time and the sequels learned very well from their mistakes.

I played all games on old hardware and on current hardware no problems, and at todays resolutions with near 4k SVR they look nice.

In any case theres a new hitman sandbox style in the works. But yet I would agree rehashing all games with new engine would be nice. But looks like new hitman will be an even newer engine then absolution.

You didn't suffer from fat 47 in Hitman: Contracts? :P

That guy got a meat hook through the neck

Why remake?

Make new missions for a new game!

You know, you make me think that good map-design seems to be a lost art on today's developers.

Well the HD trilogy's already on console so it's just a matter of porting them over to PC. It'll also be a nice way for newer fans to experience the old titles without the technical and gameplay bugs that exist on PC.

Wait, if thats the HD collection your talking about...

Its rather pointless to re-release it, the it was only "HD" because it was in 720p.

The PC versions of Hitman2, Contracts and Blood Money always could be played in 720p & beyond.

Friggen consoles, link plz, so the HD trilogys is HM2, MH 3 and HM4 with absolution engine and mechanics?!!?!?! I WANT THIS ON PC

[Torhrolfr]

Of course we would want HD trilogy. Remade versions who worked on modern PCs. I for one would not complain, and i'm pretty sure anyone would support it to come to PC.

[Pampers]

do not pay attention to this , you need to keep up the good work

HD trilogy isnt coming out on pc, plus its actually just Hitman Contracts.

I realize that haha. This is an old thread and it definetly seems like we won't be getting the Hitman HD trilogy anytime soon. The more I think about it actually (due to some of the comments on this thread), I'd be up for a remake of these games or a remaster on a different engine.

I tried deleting some of my comments now so I could delete this thread, but it looks like we've gone past the threshold. I'm happy for more comments on this thread but do note what I've said in the OP is my opinion and I still very much like the PC versions of the Hitman games.

And i will once again point out that the "HD" Trilogy already exists in the PC.

Its called buying all 3 games and putting them on your prefered resolution + max settings.

It will still look better than any console out there, specially if your PC boasts a something better than 1080p

HD Trilogy is just a better resolution for the consoles, our hitman games were ALWAYS HD, as long as we could support it.

Also Hitman 2 on it comes "perma-censored", while we can still de-censored our versions.

I realize most of that and in retrospect: I'm not even sure if a HD Trilogy for PC would address the issues in this thread (the HD Trilogy introduces bugs as well). It just sounded like a good idea at the time and I'd love to play all of these games with a nice facelift + Steamworks integration.

I could swear the console versions had replaced textures in some instances but I still get your point nevertheless.

The only 2 things that bother me: widescreen is far from perfect on Contracts and Blood Money's port also suffers from a few problems and seems to be giving people a lot of issues (check the hub for recent threads esp.). Nowadays a decent widescreen fix exists for Hitman 2 so I'm pretty happy with that title.

And yes, the easiest way to grab Hitman 2 in its purest form is to grab the GOG version which is patched to 1.1 and completely uncensored.

I vote for complete remaster with current gen graphics, more complex levels and same legendary Jesper Kyd soundtrack. But this will never happen 8-(

[Chetanya]

I hope they remaster all the itman games from Codename 47 to Blood Money.
