Hitman 3is due to launch January 20th onthe Epic Games Store. Yep, it’sa timed exclusive. It’ll also be on Xboxes, PlayStations, and Stadia. It’ll also be on Switch exclusively as through cloud gaming, which is curious.
“We upgraded the engine with screenspace reflections,” theyexplainedafter the shinies caught some people’s eyes. “Best thing? It’s backwards compatible with the previous two games in the trilogy and lots of surfaces has been upgraded.” This got folks a-speculatin', prompting a reply.
The dev said ina follow-up, “we definitely hade reflections in the other two games, but we have indeed upgraded the engine with screenspace reflections (for base ps4/xbox one too) and so there will be much more reflected goodness this time around. As an example, the Paris fashion show catwalk floor is now fully reflecting the models and the rest of the room, making the whole scenario look way more impressive :)”. The whole trilogy will benefit from other improvements too.
“All three games with all content will take up around 100gb,” the devsaid. “Biggest wins are because of data management and file structures and how we deliver the game so we could remove duplicate data,” they laterexplainedfor the benefit of techheads. “We also use newer and better compression for textures - that helps too.”
Io Interactive are also working ona James Bond game, codenamed Project 007.
