Doing the escalation they have for Sapienza, maaan, I've forgotten the mine escalations. IO, if you're gonna bring any more old escalations into the legacy maps, skip every one involving mines or tripwires.
Congrats on the launch! Or the - uh - prelaunch, I guess. I don't know how it feels on the ground level, but among me and my friends in the industry, you're all rockstars over there. :)
So far, it's not being released as part of a bundle; you have to buy the Legacy Pack separately (or own the previous game).
I just finished Mumbai and wow. I expected it to be Marrakesh 2 with boring, static crowds but I had so much fun with it. Identifying and tailing the target through the market while dodging security was a really unique experience. I played with the UI disabled so visually tracking him through the crowd was actually quite a challenge. Rounding a corner and realizing I'd lost him made me legitimately panic.
All the levels have been great so far but Mumbai made me finally appreciate the crowd system.

Oh man I can't wait to play for this level. Marrakesh captured the vibe of a spy movie amazingly, so needing to actually track and tail a target through the crowds on tight labyrinthine streets sounds even better
Kind of wish it had a better tutorial for crowd or blend mechanics. Does it just reduce enemy vision to the circle around you? Sometimes people see you do stuff in the brush, sometimes they don't.
Having a handy place to stash bodies is great though, love just knocking people out and dumping them in bushes.

Well I finished the campaign tonight, I enjoyed it.
Now I'm gonna go through all the story missions I didn't do and work on the [REDACTED] challenges
Favorite maps were Columbia and Mumbai.
Still lots to do.

I actually liked those ones. Having to re-route your approach was a fun problem to overcome.
Columbia gave me a few MGS3 flashbacks. The initial video made it seem like another Colorado hostile zone level but it felt a lot more like Sapienza in practice.
Honestly like all of the levels so far. Columbia is the most instantly memorable but Mumbai might actually be better in the details?

Colorado being the flattest of levels in the first season is still a heartbreaker. We have old mines in 14,000 foot high mountains, put the base there! They really just slapped the name on.

Columbia and Mumbai are insane. Sapienza is the only map in h1 that has as much going on I think.
I was surprised how much Col

I absolutely didn't realize this game had an early release period. Went to play my steam copy from GMG and thought it was bugged on pre load haha. Guess I'm waiting until Tuesday
Anything that highlights in yellow when u hold r1 should be affected by firearms etc.
Has anyone else noticed there's an enforcer in Paris that sees through... the default tuxedo? He's in the bar area, sometimes wanders out to the patio.
That sucks. I hoped they would go back to the old Hitman games where everything in the game world just happens regardless of your presence, making it feel like the world doesn't revolve around the player.
I have only played Hitman 2016 and this sequel, and I just got my very first SASO, from Hawkes' Bay.
That feels GREAT.
I also started playing Miami. Very overwhelming.
Damn.

I love these runs. That confidence that allows people to bump into enemies or shoot them in the kneecaps and not be seen is...something I don't have.
Man, the last level is just loaded with references.
Much more to find, obviously!
- Pretty sure the targets were mentioned or present in Paris, not to mention cross-referencing Ken Morgan's background in Bangkok
- One of the NPCs is an architect identified as "Lowe" (of Hamilton-Lowe)
- Amos Dexter is just straight up in the level, he needs no introduction
- There are still NPCs talking about the 70 people electrocuted by one puddle in Paris video

Regarding the Android in Knox showroom in Miami:
Apparently it will response to your presence according to disguise. I wore a security outfit and was recognized as a security and told something like "if there is any trouble makers, I will tell you as soon as possible". It even scolded the reporter and told him to get lost. I am going to try all outfits from the level to see what it will say.
So how does Mumbai look? Fairly modern, something you'd see if you looked through google images or is it more old fashioned colonial era with everyone in kurta's?
Like I know India is a poor country and Indians are poor but sometimes the way we are portrayed in media is ridiculous
Silent Assassin had Singapore right?

Honestly they should redo the Tokyo area from K&L2. Though maybe they don't have the rights to that anymore?
Singapore would be great though, could pretty much turn Marina Bay Sands into the hotel level.
At night. Has to be at night. Can include a club of some kind. Put that crowd tech to work. I think Kane & Lunch was the only time a club ever looked accurately packed.
Shanghai is briefly mentioned in the game, hopefully it will be made. Lovely city.
I will be fine with Hong Kong too (if they want to give it one more chance). It's my home. :)
I found one of the NPCs talking about going to the heaven and hell party from blood money.
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin had this instead:
Hopefully they will revisit it with a more faithful recreation of KLCC tower or Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. I want to accidentally assassinate a target by throwing them off the infinity pool!
Now carry it while dressed as a clown (at least).The briefcase really adds a lot to the whole "virtual tourism" aspect.
Just asking because there appears to be some confusion on whether it's a prequel or a sequel to Season 1.

Ah, Basement Killing. Such fond memories of that level.
Finished the story! Have to say, this time it really felt like the final level delivered on tying story resolution (three years' worth, in real time) and level content and themes together. It was good as a finale, not just as a mission.
Question about the most glaring opportunity I couldn't figure out in the last mission:
Question about the most glaring opportunity I couldn't figure out in the last mission:
How do you get the real Master of Ceremonies to do the ritual? Because this looks like the only way to use the cannon and there's no way I can both do that and be the MC.
i loved blood money and obviously 2016/18 -- do the earlier hitman games hold up nowadays? are there any decent ways of playing them now?
Thank you! :)
Hard to express how I feel right now. It is a bit overwhelming. We got nice reviews but the player feedback that is trickling in is even better and that just feels so freakin great.
Hoo-ey. Finished Mumbai after about 4 hours of playing around, that's a huge map.
I think my total timer was about 90minutes.
I kind wish there was a photo mode, the game is the pinnacle of virtual tourism, it really makes me want to visit India for an actual photo trip

Here goes my first speedrun on Hawke's Bay, Master Difficulty, using the sniper, in 1:44
To explain a few things:
I throw a duck at a door at the beggining because Reynard actually enters a lockdown if she sees any of her doors breached open (a really nice detail).
This makes her hide on the secret room. I throw a grenade into that room, making her go to her secondary lockdown which is in the beach.
I use the Sieger 300 sniper because this one has no building animation like the Jaeger, saving some seconds.
