Posted May 11, 2017 Thought Hitman did well enough, guessing it hasn't. Hopefully they keep the servers switched on for those still playing. S-E seem to have mismanaged their western properties. Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider ( to a certain degree ) and now Hitman have all been handled pretty badly. The new Hitman was apparently a very good game but S-E didn't really push it at all. It still baffles me that they weren't happy with Tomb Raider selling something like 3-4 million copies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 13, 2017 I think this video assassinated my childhood. I mean, hearing one of them telling him to shoot someone "Between the eyes" is a turning point in my life. Well, other than googling "Dragonite" on Google Images and expecting the first 5 pictures to be safe. Don't, trust me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2017 Well, other than googling "Dragonite" on Google Images and expecting the first 5 pictures to be safe.Don't, trust me. I did. Am I missing a joke here? There's nothing unsafe about the first 5 pictures. SafeSearch is off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 13, 2017 I did. Am I missing a joke here? There's nothing unsafe about the first 5 pictures. SafeSearch is off. Damn, you're right... It seems in the two weeks since I stumbled across that, someone at Google was doing their job. Now I look silly. That'll teach me for not making sure of something before posting. I'd apologise, but what for? Not providing you with naughty pictures? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Google tailors your search results based on previous searches (and probably a lot of other stuff). If Google shows you NSFW images when searching for Dragonite, you must have done something to deserve that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And it'll no doubt clear everything up. That must have happened... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 16, 2017 Statement from IO: We’re very excited to share this message from the Io-Interactive CEO, Hakan Abrak: In its 19 years of history, Io-Interactive has brought you original and exciting entertainment; from Mini Ninjas and Freedom Fighters to gaming’s most notorious criminals Kane & Lynch and of course our beloved Agent 47. With our latest game, we have not only transformed Hitman, but also moved our entire studio into the AAA digital era. Our live product has disrupted the video game business and has received recognition and praise from press, community and our fans. There are many tales of hope, dreams, hardship and joy within these walls. We have never strived for the expected or predictable. Instead, we are always in pursuit for what feels original and real. Our passion and determination has never been greater and so that is why we have decided it is not the time to stop as we have many more exciting and original tales to tell. Therefore I am proud to announce today that IOI is now officially an independent studio. We have successfully concluded our negotiations with Square Enix and have agreed to a management buyout. Crucially, we will keep all of the rights to the Hitman IP. This is a watershed moment for IOI. As of today, we have complete control over the direction for our studio and the Hitman IP – we’re about to forge our own future and it’s incredibly exciting. We are now open to opportunities with future collaborators and partners to help strengthen us as a studio and ensure that we can produce the best games possible for our community. I would like to say a big and sincere thank you to all of our players, community, friends in the media and everyone else connected to the studio for the messages of support that we have received in the last few weeks. I would also like to thank Square Enix; it has been a great family to be a part of and we are proud of what we have achieved together in the last eight years. IOI started as an independent studio and we will now return to those roots with an extremely passionate and talented team. We are counting on the continued support of all our players; simply by having fun with everything we’ve released so far for HITMAN – and we want to encourage more of you to try our game. We have more details to come on our plans for that next week. Thank you. Hakan, Io-Independent http://www.ioi.dk/the-future-of-ioi/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
