'Hitman' HD collection spotted for PS3 release

[Kuro]

A collection of HD Hitman titles is being bundled together for re-release on PlayStation 3, according to a retailer listing.

The trilogy, including Hitman: Blood Money, Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and Hitman 3: Contracts was spotted on Italian retailer website 16Games and listed for release on October 15.

"Enter a world of crime, sin and greed. Penetrate deeper into the recesses of the mind of Agent 47, the world's deadliest assassin. Remaining anonymous, being quick and totally ruthless: these are the keys to a perfect execution," reads the retail statement.

"Follow Agent 47 while executing orders on behalf of slum-living criminals or on behalf of the highest summits of power. Nothing is important except the target."

Blood Money, Silent Assassin and Contracts are the second, third and forth releases in the series, respectively. The next installment in the series, Hitman: Absolution, is scheduled to release November 20.

Why the hell is always the first game missing from every collection? What sort of collection starts at part 2 ?

[DreDayDetox]

They were probably like "hey guys, let's go the Silent Hill route, except instead of including the last game before this one, let's not include the very first game that tells people the story of Agent 47."

Let's how the backlash works out for them.

One major difference is hitman 1 was a PC game, and silent hill was a PS1 game. Seems weird to not include it since aint most games made on PC then ported over? I can see why silent hill 1 wasnt included in its collection

[Joe Zombie]

Maybe because the first game was not on consoles?

And Silent Hill omitted the first game from its collection because it is a PS1 title. Not even HD touch-ups would do it justice.

No clue on why they left out the 1st one, but if this is a good looking port I'm definitely getting it.

[keefy]

Hitman triple pack game out a few years ago for Xbox and PS2 which only included, Silent assassin, contracts and blood money so thats the version they are using as a base I guess.

Better look as good as the PC versions. Sucks the first one isn't even there.

[Vader555]

Sweet! Will definitely be buying this one!

They will have to work on textures and stuff for me to bother, if they aren't going to I bet my pc versions of them already looks better.

Silent hill collection was based of the ps2 versions.

Well, Tomb Raider Collection looked much better than the PS2 versions (on par with PC), so Eidos don't seem to be taking the lazy route like Konami has by just upscaling the games.

Yep, which is what he's saying, SH1 was a PS1 game so was unlikely to make it into the HD Collection, whereas Hitman 1 looked as good as PS2 games so it weird that its not making it into this Collection.

Hopefully they make it as a separate download down the line if its not included.

yeah the TR:Collection was good, btw you still think the MGS:Collection is missing stuff lol
Bluepoint did excellent work. as aways

[AaronSOLDIER]

Yeah but even if it isn't I still think it was a lazy Collection, a simple upscale, unlike most others that have had redone textures, improved AA etc.The SH Collection is the worst though, it only has two games and they screwed them.

[keefy]

God Of War just a straight port into 720p yet still looks great It hink.

It all depends ont he base game assets how good it looks and if it needs any texture upgrades.

[AaronSOLDIER]

No GOW was unscaled to 720p/60FPS, a lot of textures were upgraded (the character models especially) and it got 2X or 4X AA, the Konami Collection have only been upscaled. IMO the Eidos and Ubisoft Collections have been the best because they're actually using the PC versions.

You know the GOW/ICO collection team did MGS collection & SH Collection was some random dev with unfinished code? just checking btw
but yeah my best collections are the TR:Collection & MGS:Collection
I do have the POP & SC Collection from Ubisoft but they not as smooth and as polished as they should be on PS3, kinda like the SH: Collection but not as bad.
I reckon the ZOE collection will be good.

Google GOW HD comparison and yu will see identicle assets.
Also it took Blupoint games 3 months to port both games.

Yeah, GOW Collection was a straight port, no Dolby Digital either just AA & 60fps
thou it was the first

[AaronSOLDIER]

SH Collection was some random dev with unfinished code?

Offtopic but was this unfinished port code PS2>PS3 or 360>PS3? Because it was originally PS3 exclusive anyway, but considering the amount of games on it it was obviously gonna be on 360, if it was PS3 exclusive they would've fit SH4 on there no problem and probably Origins.

[GoreTex]

Can't wait to pick it up. 30 euros is nothing.

No it was SH2 & 3 pre-alpha > SH:Collection, they used unfinished PS2 code to make SH Collection, SH3 didn't have voice soundtrack hence why it was completely redone, all the bugs & missing textures etc was cuzz it wasn't in place with the code they was working with
they should have like Bluepoint with MGS Collection worked with the PS2 retail disc code, but said it's not possible,eventhou Bluepoint did exactly that with MGS, GOW

[AaronSOLDIER]

So in MGS2, where the cockroaches in the PS3 version? Because the older screens showed they had been removed.

Yeah they are there, there's a trophy related to them actually

And same SH collection, the things missing in those shots are actually in the game, but SH collection is fucked anyway.

Finally! Since I never played any of these games, I can at last find out how they compare to Splinter Cell and MGS games.

[admartian]

This should be awesome.
