Hitman: Absolution developer discusses the decision to lead development of the game on the PlayStaiton 3.

Hitman Absolution to lead on PlayStation 3

PlayStation 3 has been confirmed as the lead console for Hitman Absolution. Tore Blystad of IO Interactive recently spoke about the decision to lead on Sony's console, in an interview with IncGamers.

"The PS3 is a difficult beast,"said Blystad. "If it works on that, then we take that as a good sign for the other platforms."

The developer claims that the two versions of the game will look very similar to one another. However, Blystad says that "the way the systems use the memory makes the textures look a bit different sometimes, and we need to trim them down (on Xbox 360) on occasion."

Hitman Absolution is the fifth game in the franchise, and is due out later in 2012. IO Interactive also released a group of screenshots showing Agent 47's many disguises. You can find those here.

    I still don’t understand why most game devs don’t do this. Is it really that hard to port?

      It really depends on which company (MS/Sony) would offer the larger amount of money to the developers. Then they could agree to have a “lead” console.

      This statement alone makes the graphics wars so irrelevant…

    Blood money was an amazing game. Had fun being a chicken down in mardi gras. I was upset how he “died” at the end but came back to life somehow? Ha. Cant wait to play Absolution.
