Anyone going to play Hitman 2 in november? You can kill Sean Bean apparently

Hitman (2016) was great, so I'm sure going to get this one.

Did anyone else get into Google's Project Stream beta and try out Assassin's Creed Odyssey through Chrome?

It actually runs really well. I already owned the game and had 20 hours into it by the time I got in, so I haven't really messed with it much, but I was impressed with the little over an hour that I played.

Never did try the Hitman game.

I played the last Hitman which seems like ageees ago. It was good and I am keen to take a look at Hitman 2.

You can play the 5th mission in Hitman 2016 for free this weekend on Steam I believe. Maybe more missions are free aswell but I'm not sure. There's also a IO-Interactive sale going for all the Hitman games in case you want to jump into it for full force, or try out the older games (Hitman codename 47 (1), Hitman 2 Silent Assassin (2), Hitman Contracts (3), Hitman Blood Money (4) All of them are great except for maybe the first one, it doesn't have a rating system and is very clunky. Hitman Absolution is the black sheep. Very story driven and linear, and with very few targets and not many open levels that someone can expect from these games. It's OK, but not great IMO.

Good game play. Nice temps and clocks on the GPU. Is the game running smoothly? Seems to be from what I can see in the vid.

Thanks. I looked at a couple of Hitman 2016 vids. Seems to be hugely stealth oriented. Is that the main focus in the game?

Could you see the OSD in the video? Game bar recording is really not that great. Might have to install Geforce Experience again.

It is running smoothly. I'm aiming for a smooth 85 fps. In certain areas the fps is very dynamic, anywhere between 70-85 fps, but because it is changing so quickly you do not feel it. There is a setting for volumetric clouds and that will destroy your performance instantly when you go above Medium. It bogs performance heavily. The anti aliasing is very good in this game, so much that there is barely any noticeable difference between low and high. It carries the same trait from Origins with large CPU spikes up to 90% that can cause noticeable hitches and fps drops. There is some talk around that the games resource management system for PC is not the best. Overall the game is running satisfyingly smoothly. Enjoying this, it's jam packed.
