      I think Hitman is in this weird haze where… yeah, there was a game’s worth of new content three years ago, but it was just the same engine and even inside the same launcher as 1 and 2, so that’s just been an ongoing thing since 2016, so it feels older than it is, even discounting how far away 2022 feels right now for other reasons.

      Still, you said “new Hitman” and got me excited. I guess it’s back to waiting for the inevitable cancellation of that 007 thing they’re supposed to be doing now.

        to me, any game after 2018 feels new because i’ve yet to really see any generational difference between games in that period. 2018 is just random though, so like late 2010s and now is ‘new’ to me. though thats coming from me who genuinly gets confused about ‘graphical differences’ in games over time, like have had to pause videos of ‘comparing half life 1 and black mesa’ lmao (im autistic like that, and i literally have worked as modeller in games lol)

          Eh, I get it. Someone recently said “twenty year old” games, presumably meaning something like the N64 and when I checked it turns out that twenty year old games are Shadow of the Colossus and GTA San Andreas.

          Personally I have a hard time getting past the PS3/360 cutoff. Part of it is personal lived experience, part of it is you still get stuff like Crysis 3 and Red Dead Redemption show up in benchmarks. I think with Hitman since it’s been a bit stale after Hitman 3 I have more of a sense of waiting for another full sequel or reboot separate from the World of Assassination trilogy.
