Anyone actually play Hitman: Absolution? Benchmarks shows AMD beating NV in every tier, but in actual gameplay, NV cards ran really well and overclocking scaled phenomenally.


If the new Hitman is much of the same, then I don't see what the big deal is. I am very confident that NV's upcoming driver will put their cards on par with AMD's in the new Hitman.


I don't care if AMD or NV are beating eachother in games as long as all the GPU's perform as they should. I would like to see benchmarks from this game in 1-3 months since I expect to see an entirely different picture regarding performance parity.
Because this isn't a rational discussion... Are you following the thread it's anything to say my company >yours.

If you haven't noticed min fps is fine aside from Gamegpu broken dx12 tests.
Look at their ROTR dx12 test. The same pattern where it is not playable. I recon their dx12 machine is POS.

You play the game then you will understand problem as i had. I simply refunded like many other did. Benchmark does not tell the problem.

Go talk about it in the gaming forum then.

One of my friends is a huge Hitman fan, and he said this game is basically broken. They're still having server issues and he can't progress his rank offline mode.

I being more of an MGS fan, he explained it to me "imagine trying to earn Big Boss rank but it requires online and once an hour you get disconnected and have to restart the level." Considering earning Big Boss rank requires patience and literally peeing into canisters to avoid detection, I guess I can understand his frustration.

Something-something, gem in the rough. AMD needs to vet it's game partners a little closer. They are killing it with visuals (Battlefront/Hitman) but those games are being killed by word of mouth (Battlefront mostly selling on the BF name and Star Wars craze).

Hitman and visual killing? Huh? Game looks outdated. The Paris mission is 90% fake without any real lightning. All those NPCs dont have shadows and the AO is just medicore.

Even something like Batman:AK (haha) looks better and runs better.

Well at least you admit Nvidia games can run terribly.... Very terribly.

The NPCs don't have shadows because if they did it would run at 5fps at best.

This game is gonna take time to get into the black. They laid off half the staff in the middle of development lol. I'm sure that has something to do with its unfinished and crap status. And iirc even a year ago before release it was looking terrible.

You did read the article, right? They laid off all the people who were working on projects other than Hitman so they could focus more on Hitman.

Where does it say that exactly?


IO Interactive has announced today that it has laid off nearly half of its current workforce as part of a refocus on the Hitman series.
Hannes Siefert, previously production director, will take over as the new studio head as part of this restructuring.
If they kept everyone on the Hitman team, then why did this guy move up? Where did the previous studio head go?

Regardless even of the restructuring, it was well known ahead of time this game would run like crap. What's even more hilarious is the attempt to make this game some sort of showdown by some posters.

I'm assuming "run like crap" is more in regards to how the game itself functions and not performance?

This game is getting slain in user feedback. With Square's reaction to sales of Tomb Raider, I wouldn't be surprised if this new studio head gets removed too.

I mean, was it really coincidence the 10+ year head of Crystal Dynamics left after abysmal sales of the new Tomb Raider? And how the PC version got rushed to market? I guess so.

Notice: Somewhat mature content
Concerning the layoffs, Jim Sterling has a great writeup right here in this video over the state of Hitman and how it as well as Square Enix ended there. I do believe it really is as simple of a marketing and leadership screwup as he implies.

On second thought, "immature content" may be a better label!?

Thank you for that, but he really held shots too long on the tit lol.

Every game sucks at release imo. No game is worth playing until. At least a month or two after release.

That's usually the case but there are exceptions. Take Far Cry Primal for instance, out of the box it runs on everything fairly well. Games like that should be applauded, but it got so little reception it;s sad. Instead craptastic games like this get 20 pages of crap slinging around by posters acting like Floyd Mayweather fans who have never seen an iv drip before in their lives. lol excuse the tangent there.

Ya, when a game is built around being online for single player, I'm out. If I'm playing online, I want you to be fully Lineage 2 esque PVP. But sadly, Americans apparently cry about being griefed and prefer their safespace MMOs like WoW.

The benches look good, but I just don't care about always online games. I want DX12 to be working well in other Square Enix published games.

If Square Enix take that approach for Deus Ex, I am not gonna be impressed. Single player games with always online DRM is BS regardless of who does it.

It has nothing to do with DRM though, it has denuvo, it won't be cracked anytime soon. This game just needs a couple patches, it's only been out for a week...

As someone who has actually played the game, which is a rarity around here even though there's 20 pages of drivel about it, I have to say the 3 hours I've played so far have been quite enjoyable.
It looks great, runs well (DX11 because DX12 won't load for some reason ), gameplay is solid.
I haven't had any issues with the "always online" save system. But that seems to be the #1 issue people have.
