All that shit for a game that will look and perform worse than The Order 1886 or Ryse son of Rome

I'm going to be honest, IOI's focus on massive seamless open areas with tons of detailed, (relatively) intelligent NPCs all running like clockwork is one of the few use cases for massive amounts of RAM that I find acceptable. Improving their systems from Hitman is vastly preferable to making the game look slightly shinier.

The NPCs are a big part of what makes Hitman so great. A dlc where they create brand new routes for every NPC would be like playing a brand new game

I wouldn't take it seriously. 1660 has 6gb while they list 8 as the min and the 3060ti has 8gb and they say recommended needs 12. Probably AI generated crap.

Also, if it's going to be based on the hitman 3 engine, it'll run really well on most hardware.

Hitman 3 Recommended Requirements

  • CPU: Intel CPU Core i7 4790 4 GHz
  • RAM: 16 GB
  • VIDEO CARD: Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD GPU Radeon RX Vega 56 8GB
  • DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 8192 MB

An upgraded engine with RT will probably mean at least 3600/3060 for 1080/60.

I play a ton of Hitman 3 on a laptop (11800H, 3060 mobile, 16gb ram) and it runs fantastic. Just in case anyone has similar or better specs to me, wondering if they could run it well.
