Hitman 3 (PS5)

[Zivouhr]

I will be playing Hitman 3 for PS5 very soon, with the free PS5 upgrade when you buy the PS4 version which includes the PSVR mode for the full game, plus PSVR for the prior 2 games. I would've just got the PS5 version if the PSVR mode wasn't part of the PS4 game.

Got a decent sale price so that's good. I only played Hitman back on the PS3 and thought it was interesting but a bit clunky for the gameplay. Hopefully iO Interactive (007 developers) have refined this latest game a bit.

Heard the gunplay is challenging as you don't have much ammunition. It'll be interesting to see if there's a way to survive gunfights in the game and keep the main mission on track.

The reviews suggested some of the maps are giant, so that's cool. It seems there's no timer for the objective, though some actions could provoke problems where your time window is affected.

Should be interesting. Now back to Fenyx Rising on PS5 in the meantime!


EDIT: UPDATE:

Sony announces and confirms a PSVR2 VR headset for PS5.

So the PSVR version is neat to look at for the maps, but the maps have terrible pop in for smaller objects and the PSVR controls are really bad and clumsy as all hell for the aiming and attacking with weapons. Even trying to pick something up is a hassle. They botched it up instead of just letting the normal controls be an option for everything. You use the analogs on the controller to move, but for aiming and attacking, you have to use the controller's light bar with the camera and it tracks like garbage for this game for some reason. Dumb. Otherwise, it's a great looking PSVR game except for the pedestrians, which look tiny compared to real life. And mostly lifeless without expressions.

The game play in 2D is much better. Downloading the PS5 version soon.
