I really liked the characterisation of Thrawn and his new companion, Eli. It’s a great book, not as good as Timothy Zahn’s previous Thrawn books, but still good. Just Cause.Ī long anticipated book came out called Star Wars: Thrawn. Far older and more prestigious than some of Square Enix’s other properties e.g. Plus, it’s a long running franchise as it’s almost twenty years old. It’s always sold well and it’s always garnered great reviews. One of the reasons given for the abrupt separation is that Square Enix wants to focus on ‘key franchises.’ This is annoying because as far as I’m aware, Hitman has always been a key franchise. They’ve essentially been cast out to drift with no paddles or engines to get them moving again. This is even worse news for IO, because it means that their biggest money earner is no longer their own. UPDATE: it looks as though Square Enix owns the rights and they’re willing to sell them to a developer in hopes of keeping the franchise alive. Plus, it’s unclear whether IO or Square Enix owns the rights to the franchise. IO had planned on doing two more episodic seasons, but those plans have probably halted now. Secondly, the Hitman franchise is now up in the air. It’s a shame to see a long running developer potentially coming to an end like this. Unless another big name company decides to come in and purchase IO, then the rest might follow suit soon. This is sad news for multiple reasons.įirstly, a bunch of people have suddenly lost their jobs with presumably little warning. In other Hitman news, Square Enix, the publisher of the Hitman franchise has decided to part ways with IO Interactive, the developer of the Hitman franchise. I doubt I’ll be getting many/any more in the future. I don’t think it’s changed my play style though.
I achieved it by accident really, but I’m happy. Hitman: Go is therefore my first ever platinum trophy. I don’t play games in an attempt to 100% them, or to show off how good I am at them. I’m not much of an achievement/trophy hunter. It’s so rewarding and pleasing to play and I really liked the gradual increase in difficulty as well as the creativity throughout it. To sum it up though, moving forward my life won’t be the same anymore and I’m really not sure what the future looks like for me and my family.Īnyhow, onto some other topics, which aren’t any better. The latter of which I won’t be getting into, because I’m still trying to process it all, and It’s a little too depressing.
