IO Interactive CEO estimates that Hitman 3 only cost a fifth of Hitman 2016’s budget because the studio was brave enough to stop making new bathrooms for every game: ‘I swore never to do more new toilets’

Shit’s expensive
Well Hitman 3 was basically just new maps with upgraded graphics….thats why by getting Hitman 3…you can access Hitman 1 and 2 from the same game!
They made the same game….thus the 1/5 budget!
Hell yeah do a Yakuza
He gave a $20m number for hitman 3 which is so low I have to imagine he was just using numbers as an example more than an actual data point. Even with asset reuse that’s crazy impressive.
RGG Studio doesn’t want you to know this
You can make entire new game at faster pace with lesser amount of budget if you recycle some of your assets
I remember they even made Japanese style toilet with hot seat and everything
I have no idea how a game is made, but why does it take so much work to create a bathroom when you see these youtube videos of someone chucking a scene together in a few minutes?
Haha
Hitman 2 just looks and feels better to me than 3, I appreciate the content more in 3 (freelancer fucking rules) but something was just a little regressive, can’t put my finger on it.
3 is still the ultimate way to play ofc but I always end up back on 2 lol 1 was a game changer and will always have a special place in my heart (even with the episodic bullshit)
There’s a reason the Like A Dragon guys can just crank them out
I just hope James Bond doesnt cost 1/5 of the budget of Hitman 3….by saving on the sinks!
Wow talk about enshittification.
Crowbcat has already taken notice of this and is currently making a video titled ‘Hitman 2 is better than Hitman 3’
The Ryu Ga Gotoku special
So they pulled a Michael Bay to save budget.
