Hitman: Trilogy HD. "This saga is what has defined our study"

The trilogy is set this week on sale.

If you love the adventures of Agent 47 have probably already noted in the calendar that tomorrow is selling the Hitman Trilogy HD, which means that the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are some of the best games of the series in HD format.

Nick Price, Communications of IO Interactive, spoke about the event with the official PlayStation blog. "More than anything else that IO Interactive has created in the past decade and a half, has been the Hitman franchise that has defined our study." Her five titles have been released in the last 12 years for major platforms. The killer combination of fantasy, game mechanics and freedom of action of the Hitman series make all the most original games we created in IO. Nobody had really seen a game like Hitman before (not even the developers who were about to create. Was a game about a murderer cold as ice, but with a wry humor to balance issues that were treated as mature. "

"When you deal with a subject so dark ... need something to compensate, to make it less cynical," says Tore Blystad, director of Hitman: Absolution. "Early in the development of Absolution trying to say we wanted to do a serious game instead of a funny, but with the passage of time the mood was beginning to return to what we were doing, and instead decided to get rid of it for use game. In many ways, the humor inherent in the Hitman games has been there to create balance with the dark and mature themes they have. Hitman games introduced several unique elements of gameplay including a new type of artificial intelligence, the use of `physical type rag doll 'system and costumes. Doing these things work together in a complex system has always been a great challenge. Creating open missions' Codename 47' along with functions like making sniper, disguise and hide sight led to many trials and development risks. "

"The result of this development was an extremely difficult game to master, which became a staple of the series. Difficulty is made even higher by the fact that the team forgot to include the saved starting for the first game, which meant that the experience was much harder (and more exciting) than many other games of the time. With games that followed, these mechanics and functions much better defined, "says New Price. "Something that newcomers to learn when playing with Hitman Trilogy HD is how versatile are the different murders in these games. Always been a desire to bring Agent 47 worldwide, meet interesting people and execute them. Therefore from Blood Money Silent Assassin to live a variety of different adventures. "

"Our hope is that with HD Trilogy fans again enjoy their favorite games, and that those who seized Absolution Agent 47 and want to experience more classical models for the first time," they conclude.
