Indeed, like how
Only up to Colombia so far (I can't help but play through every level a couple of times first just to check them out before going for mastery 20 sry), but I'm loving all the throwbacks and references.I'm surprisingly invested in it. I'm just amazed they actuallytied it in to Hitman 1 and 2 kind of. Hell, it even references the final mission of Blood Money.
It's a shame. But I think they style they went with is a bit better than if it was just awkwardly-animated in-game scenes.
The expansions are two NEW locations, as well as some bonus missions for existing onesDidn't realize they were counting Hawke's Bay as one of the 6 locations in H2. So technically H2 has 1 map less than 2016 (5 vs 6, and 1 training vs 2 training). Hopefully the 2 DLC maps are 2 full size original locations with 20 mastery and not like bonus ep sized eps or anything. Although I'd definitely be down for a few bonus eps on the existing maps as 2016 showed you can do a lot more with the existing maps between Patient Zero and the Bonus Episodes.
the time sensitive stuff is *extremely optional*. there's hours and hours and hours and blood monies worth of game in hitman 1 and 2How are these hitmans compared to 2:SA and 3 Contracts? those were my favourite ones, I didn't like their being time sensitive content in Hitman 1 so I never played it. Did they fix that or do you still miss out? Also is it still online only?

I'm taking my time with this so far. Just finished Columbia doing Suit Only, Silent Assassin for my first run through of it. Got Mumbai up next.
See, if there's one thing I don't like about what the new age of Hitman represents in terms of design philosophy, it's this idea that every map has to be gigantic and sprawling. Hell, some of the best missions in the history of the franchise have been on relatively small maps. I really loved Hawke's Bay and the mission on it because it was a different scale.
Fair enough, I've got nothing against smaller levels. The ICA Test Facility in Hitman 2016 was a lot of fun.
Don't really like Hawke's Bay. There's just not much to do in it and it's fun for like an hour and then you're over it. It's a tiny little house with a target that goes through a long drawn out routine and then a long run exit with pretty much a forced linear distraction at the end. When I looked at destinations and saw Himmelstein as the last one, I thought Hawke's Bay was just the training stage (which it is) and not counted in the 6 locations. But didn't realize Himmelstein isn't a real location.
It's fine, there still plenty of content, but Hitman 2 does seem more expensive than Hitman 2016. You get 1 less location for $60, no escalations so far, and the DLC locations are $20 each ($40 for the 2 + bonus stuff) whereas in 2016 it was $10/location. Dunno if that's because WB or IOI.
I do wonder why they decided to only make mega levels with multiple targets and varied locations instead of adding a few smaller ones.
Maybe it's cheaper and more efficient for them to do it like that.
I just noticed Sumo digital worked on this game!? I wonder if they helped with the racing in Miami.
never played any Hitman with anything other than KB/M. Just feels more natural, somehow.For those on PC, you playing on controller or mouse and keyboard? I think I might switch to controller.
Also had a few achievements glitch and not unlock. Took multiple attempts to get it to register like the Psycho shower one and push person into pool one. Also had the tea glitch where I poison both but it doesn't work.
If you have access to patient zero, you have the equivalent of the goty edition I believe.
You can delete season one once you've claimed the legacy stuff. The only reason to keep season one around is to play your old saves.Quick question: so I have a copy of Season 1 GOTY on PSN, and just got a copy of Hitman 2: Gold Edition there as well. I installed the first game and downloaded the GOTY Legacy content through it. Am I safe to delete the first game now? Or do I need to keep it installed in full in order for the content to carry over? I just don't want to mess it up because it has been downloading all night. Planning to replay the Season 1 content before going into the Season 2 stuff.
And what happens if I need to reinstall Hitman 2 in the future?You can delete season one once you've claimed the legacy stuff. The only reason to keep season one around is to play your old saves.
No. The Hitman 1 levels are added as a DLC pack for season 2. So you only ever download Hitman 2+DLC from this point.And what happens if I need to reinstall Hitman 2 in the future?
Do I have to reinstall Hitman 1 just to download the Legacy Pack?

I stand by my original statement ;)

I'm wondering if the free Legacy Pack is time sensitive, like if we don't redeem it before an X date, then it will expire and we will have to pay for it.No. The Hitman 1 levels are added as a DLC pack for season 2. So you only ever download Hitman 2+DLC from this point.
the only thing from old games i still kinda miss is suit retrieval (not suit only - i liked the 'dry cleaning' penalty) and the hilarious newspapers at the end of missions

Odd they just say columbia when the games credits seem to point to that as well as isle of sgail.
Do you get trophies from season 1 saves or do you have to do everything all over again?

Okay, thanks for the info. I don't mind replaying the game especially with the level changes, I was just curious. :)Nothing carries across, it's like having the game again with a blank slate
