Before anyone yells where's my disc!?!? This PS5 physical edition of Hitman World of Assassination comes with a disc while it will also include a PS4 version as a download code.
World of Assassination is basically all 3 past Hitmans in one package.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

I'm suspicious with them, last time their Hitman 3 VR "physical edition" contained also a disc but required a download: the disc alone was totally useless.

I hope this is the complete game, with all the patches ON the disc for real with nothing to download at all.

 

[RoadHazard]

So you get two separate copies for the price of one? That's not bad.

Hitman is a home run I do hope hitman 4, or the James Bond 007 ip from IO is good.

 

[AJUMP23]

I love this series, it has been one of the most fun sandboxes I have played in. The downside of always online sucks, I wish they would let you play offline to unlock everything. It is a game that does not need to be online.

 

[Gambit2483]

No word on price? Glad this exists as It was a pain trying to get the other versions and then digitally convert them to their upgraded Hitman 3 engine

 

[RAIDEN1]

On a similar note, much less about the Hitman I am more interested about the next Bond game!!

 

[Pasta la Vista]

If it's the complete game on disc for PS5 with no bullshit, this would be worth owning a physical copy of.

"An online connection is required to exerience the full richness of Hitman"

Oh right nevermind, that's that bullshit I was talking about. No reason to even own a physical copy of this then.

The decision to bundle the games was a great way to fuck over owners of the first 2 games

 

[R6Rider]

Some of the best games (now game) ever.

3 was easily my GotY in 2021. TONS of content and replay value.

Hitman 3 VR was a download because you had to have the PS4 version to play PSVR. PSVR doesn't work with PS5 titles.

I love the replay-ability of each mission. Starting in a different section and/or with different gadgets/weapons almost make it feel like a new level entirely...almost.

Still, that's one of my favorite parts about this new modern Hitman franchise

Doing special load out runs is a blast.

The fairly recent Freelancer mode is really good too.

Physical version of online only game lol

100%!!!

 

[BennyBlanco]

I’m legit kinda jealous of anyone who never played these and gets to experience it as one huge game. IO are some of the best in the industry.

Why?

Not, that's not the reason because on a PS4, the native PS4-VR physical version required also to download the game. The game is incomplete on disc.
That was just a lazy release, nothing prevented them to release a true PS4-VR complete release on disc.

That was from this url sadly now offline

Day One Patch
HITMAN 3 will require a day one patch for all disc users. The day one patch will be automatically applied to digital players. This patch will include access to the VR mode for PlayStation users and will include the remaining locations that are not included on the disc.

Check this old topic:

IOI admits that Hitman 3 isn't even on-disc. - PlayStation 4

For PlayStation 4 on the PlayStation 4, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "IOI admits that Hitman 3 isn't even on-disc.".

I perfectly remember this fiasco release and I skipped it because of all that ridiculousness, no point to buy a disc that cannot launch the game. I collect all PSVR physical (true) release.

 

[RyRy93]

Why?

The price of 3 went up
