>>376599175
whats the other

also Hitman was a shit game

>>376599086
Square and IO are separating. IO likely does not own the Hitman IP, so unless Square puts another dev on it, Hitman is dead.

>SEASON TWO
>jk we're firing them

what the fuck why

Did I miss something?

>>376599541
Mass effect series put on a stop for good, the difference is that bioware deserved it, hitman devs just made awful decisions, the game itself was fine.

>FF15 sucks balls
>Close a studio that is successful instead
Never change SE

>>376599698
It wasn't the hitman devs that decided to make an always online episodic single player game with timed content, that was 100% Jew Enix.

>>376599869
At least episodic nonsense should be less appealing to other publishers now.

>>376599869
Well, maybe the episodic thing gave them more time to make some quality content (except bangkok), but always online and timed content killed 40% of the game and its community

>>376600029
I would much rather play this game over time.

>Kane & Lynch sucked
>Kane & Lynch 2 really sucked
>Shitman Absolution really sucked
>Shitman Episodes sucked

Why should I miss them again?

>>376599816
Yep.

>>376600107
People crying about fucking up the contracts. Some people enjoy challenges.

I was interested in buying S2. Oh well.

Sqeenix better sell that IP. I want season 2.

>>376600265
Timed content is always cancer, just look at fucking Overwatch

>Square Enix japanese studios fuck up
>it's all okay, they get to continue on making loads of dlc and future FF games no repercussions
>Square Enix fucks up with western studios with awful decisions and practices forced on them
>immediate halt of all good projects, no more future entries in their games, moved to 100% licenced trash or just all fired
Really makes you think

>>376600504
Mankind Divided into a Half Game and Shitman: Episodes deserved to flop though

rip. maybe i'll play the hitman games in their honor c:

I mean if nothing else, IO didn't die with Absolution. That would have sucked big time.
Fuck squeenix though.

>>376600457
They make content for money, your brain can't understand that.

>rip kane and lynch

why? I thought hit man did well.

>disgraced Thief
>killed Deus Ex
>now Hitman
>FFXV was hit garbage
Fuck Squeenix, not giving them a single cent

>>376600504
Except FFXV sold well, Nier sold well and Dragon quest will definitely sell well.

Deus Ex, Hitman and Kayne and Lynch were consistent flops

>>376595707
Can't read the article it's in the language of the chinks

>>376600790
I hate to defend the new Deus Ex, the two Shitman entries and the always horrible Kane & Lynch - but these games have no presence in Japan when they could be advertised and sold (potentially) to Japanese audiences

>>376600220
because Hitman Blood Money was top tier

Despite buying and enjoying it, the latest Hitman was nowhere near the level of the older games and Absolution was a complete shit stain.
I wouldn't mind if the series was put to bed for good.

>>376600770
I'm shocked they got lucky with Nier Automata
