Is the Remaster coming to PC?

[Radio Raheem]

Just got an email about releases of blood money and absolution on PS4 & Xbox with higher resolution textures and other graphical upgrades.

Will we see it on PC also?

[Kaiser Ducky]

It said it will be coming to PS4 and Xbox One. Since it didn't mention PC, assume it's not coming to PC. Same as when they made the Hitman HD Trilogy for 360 and PS3 - no PC version, no updates, etc.

I get that the PC already has better graphics than consoles, but would be nice if they'd at least import to Steam the achievements they made...

Plus BM on PC has worse textures and worse lighting according to the remasters, unless of course, they have gone retarded with the lighting. Also PC version has a ton of bugs and no controller support.

PC has every hitman game ever and is not geting a remaster of the best one... Screw IO

[mazewaliztli47]

yeah Im angry at IO that we pc users always supported hitman on PC and the best blood money game will be on annnying consoles.

[I Love Actresses]

I also want this for the PC as well.

+1 !

[Qamok]

+1 PC version don't have:
- Achievements
- Gamepad support
- Proper widescreen support (nemessis2000 fix works only on specific .exe, not on all version)
- Proper HUD elements scaling on higher resolution
- No improved lighting from announced HD edition. (probably, if they compare new version to PC, not ps2)
- Trading cards and steam cloud support.
- PC retail version have some bugs.

We definitely need BM HD, PC version is too old and PC players always support hitman series.

I hope that it isn't published by WB, we don't get Return to arkham from them :(

Hitman: Blood Money need to be remastered. Hitman: Absolution is ok.

[General_Flex]

+1 guys let them kno we want it >:(

[Donitsi]

Remastered Blood Money? I would kill for that because this game is my favorite Hitman game.

[reveilleun]

no pc remaster? ugh....i guess it wouldn't bring them enough money

Edit: Return to Arkham is apparently locked to 30 FPS. PC gets 60 FPS. Reviews and what not will confirm that there's really only a few HD textures, and they mostly just changed the coloring, which arguably makes many textures look worse. A couple other minor console improvements as well, but basically, even the old PC version is superior to the Return to Arkham versions q:

But yeah, the bastards seem to forget where Hitman started: Codename 47 was only ever released on PC. No console ports or anything.

Most studios these days do these remasters on PC as a fan service for free to curate their franchise. They add the updated edition for free to the account of every person who already owns the game on Steam. Combine this with a franchise sale at the time of the update and you still make money.

IO have already done the work for the console versions so they might as well update the PC version on the side, too.
This will produce goodwill from PC gamers plus get them some sales of the updated editions and some more sales of related titles in the franchise.

It would be quite lame if this HD edition update would not be released on PC and it should ideally be free for owners of the games. I'd also say that Absolution does not need it but Blood Money should be getting the update including Steam achievements for sure.

I really hope they are just keeping silent about the PC version in order not to cannibalize console sales and that they will release the PC update (for free for owners) ~3 months or so after the console releases.

Don't get me wrong, free is free, and I'll gladly take it... But think about how many people got Blood Money on Steam for $1, or got the game through third party sites, or in a bundle. Really, even the base price of $8 is pretty cheap. I think it would be plenty fair to pay for an HD remaster on PC, to support their work.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't pay $30+ though. I'd pay $15, maybe $20 max. I've seen some remastered games that offered a nice discount upon release for owners of the original version, like 40% off (and some games already have a 10% discount on release).

I see what you are gettign at and while I agree with you to an extent. Blood money would have got a lot of sales when it first came on steam which would have been a much higher price. So I think the whole 1$ argument is a lil bit flawed.

I would love too remaster for Blood money but even better if they remastered from the very first game up too Blood money in order
