Talk:Hitman (2016 video game)

Square Enix Montreal
Is there any other source that backs up the idea that Square Enix Montreal were working on a new AAA title in the hitman series? From the way the Gamasutra article was worded, with references to how they want to change what you expect from a hitman game, it is highly probable they were talking about Hitman: Go, the turn-based mobile game which SE:M developed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinosauriac (talk • contribs) 09:19, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Open World?
Would anyone consider this game to be open world? If so, could you please provide sources, and if not, please explain. ThanksDohvahkiin (talk) 18:45, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
 * I would not consider it to be open world. Each map is discrete and bordered. And there is no free roam: You choose a scenario from the menu and the map loads with that scenario. 208.51.208.150 (talk) 19:38, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

Hitman (2016 video game) → Hitman (video game) – No other Hitman (video game), first game in the series is called Hitman: Codename 47, so the 2016 part is unnecessary. See WP:VGNC. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:22, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Are any of the other games (especially the first one), colloquially known as simply 'Hitman'? If this is the case then the year disambiguation is useful to prevent reader confusion, even if it isn't strictly necessary from a title dab perspective.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  13:37, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Not to my knowledge, no. Hitman (disambiguation) doesn't have any other video game related entries. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 15:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * not the point, Colloquially the first game is simply referred to as 'Hitman'. Dab is therefore necessary.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:25, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose - on the face of it the earlier game is also called just hitman. In ictu oculi (talk) 15:50, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It's called Hitman: Codename 47, not just Hitman. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 17:21, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose the Hitman series is also a videogame topic so the disambiguator "video game" is indistinct, and doesn't signify the specific videogame in question. Further, when treated by the general public, both the series and the first game in the series would both be considered more likely than this particular entry in the series -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 05:38, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The first game is called Hitman: Codename 47, while Hitman (video game) already redirects to this article with a hatnote, so why shouldn't it have that title? The series article is called Hitman (video game series), so there's no confusion there either. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 08:14, 1 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Nobody disagrees that the full title of the original game includes "Codename 47" as a subtitle, but it's also usually referred to as just "Hitman", so further disambiguation is necessary. SnowFire (talk) 19:35, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have to ask, how do you know this? If I look up "hitman" and "hitman: codename 47" in the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine, I get exactly those two results. Hitman: Codename 47 was released sixteen years ago for PC only and has not been rereleased, while the upcoming game is a multiplatform game. The upcoming one is also a more viewed page |Hitman_(2016_video_game) by far. There's already the disambiguator of the subtitle of the first game, so "2016" for the upcoming one is unnecessary. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 06:49, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Via casual conversation, although even without it, taking a wild guess that subtitles are often dropped is not a huge leap. Certainly a reference to the video game "Thief" is quite possibly (probably?) a reference to Thief: The Dark Project, not the forgotten 2014 remake, for example.  Anyway, go to the Wikipedia article you nicely linked and check out the critic reviews listed on Metacritic.  Most of the critic reviews are dead links (curses, 2001-era Internet!), but the snippets often just say "Hitman", and the live links often refer to the game as just "Hitman" (e.g. http://www.gamerevolution.com/review/hitman-codename-47 ). SnowFire (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * See Thief: The Dark Project and Thief (2014 video game).  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:40, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I thought that the 2014 version of Thief would be called Thief (video game), but that redirects to the series' main article and it's at Thief (2014 video game), even though there isn't a video game called Thief. Per WP:CONSISTENCY, shouldn't Hitman (video game) redirect to Hitman (video game series)? In that case Hitman (2016 video game) would make more sense to me. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 07:19, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion on where Hitman (video game) should redirect. Making it go to the series is probably fine.  SnowFire (talk) 17:44, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my late reply. This move isn't going to work. I'll redirect Hitman (video game) to Hitman (video game series) instead. soetermans . ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 10:51, 7 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Oppose; per SnowFire, this is what I was asking about.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  03:25, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
