We also know the "names" of each of the first three main missions (as opposed to the location): Hawke's Bay is Nightcall, Miami is The Finish Line, and Santa Fortuna is Three-Headed Serpent. The later names aren't known yet and are probably spoilers since something happens in the story apparently just from the pre-release info and trailers.thebardyspoon posted:Isn't Hawkes Bay pretty likely to just be the tutorial level?

Miami will be the Paris of 2, the first "real" level despite not technically being the actual first level. Nakar fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Oct 29, 2018 |

Nakar posted:Most likely, yes. Whether it will be a "true" tutorial on the same scale as the one in the first game I don't know. I suspect it'll be a more involved version of The Final Test, so that contracts can still be made for it though without the variety of later levels. There would be no need for a tutorial/training mission in Hitman 2 since all the levels from HITMAN™ will be included in the game. No reason to believe they wouldn't keep the ICA hanger as the primary training mission. Though you might still have the need for one with all the new gameplay differences (mirrors, briefcase) and such.

Mantis42 posted:They're only included if you own the first game, I'm pretty sure. This is correct. The guide linked earlier explains that the Legacy Pack will only be available for free if you own all six episodes and the Bonus Episode of season 1, and will be upgraded to include Patient Zero if you own the GOTY Edition content. So Hitman 2 would indeed need a tutorial of its own.

Pirate Jet posted:So Hitman 2 would indeed need a tutorial of its own. Nah, it still wouldn't "need" it. No reason to believe that they wouldn't just include the first season tutorial in Hitman 2. If you already have Hitman 1, why would need a tutorial again in Hitman 2 for all the basics covered in Hitman 1? If you don't have Hitman 1, why would they lock Hitman 1's tutorial behind a paywall? We might just have an "Extra Test" added on to the end of Hitman 1's tutorial, as was suggested previously, available to everyone.

that would make the Paris bathrooms almost unusable given the positioning of mirrors and closets there, I do hope mirror detection is disabled for the season 1 maps.

Pilchenstein posted:I'd much rather they use the same voice actors (who are pretty good at making the dialogue funny, let's be honest) over and over than spend half the budget on hiring new people for every location just so the accents would be accurate. Plus, trying to make the accents "authentic" got us the tutorial level of Blood Money and I think we can all agree we're better off not doing that again. Aye I suppose, it's just that this "isle of sgail" sounds like it could be a Scottish island if it's in the north sea, and hearing Kenny's voice come out of a weather beaten, dour faced islander in a bunnet would be extremely jarring/hilarious to me; a Scottish fella.

njsykora posted:Mirror detection was one of the key points they said they were adding to the S1 maps, with the bathrooms being the key illustration. I expect there's still going to be some level of "attention" or something when it comes to mirrors. If someone is washing their hands, they aren't actually looking directly into the mirror (although they will be when they are approaching the sink). So it'd come down to timing if you want to follow someone into the bathroom - you can't just tailgate them anymore, you have to wait until they're actually distracted by something.

This was explicitly addressed on a stream: If you're in a Paris bathroom hiding in a cabinet and an NPC walks in and is facing the mirror, you have enough of a window to get out of the cabinet and crouch down and go unnoticed (since the Paris bathroom mirrors do not extend all the way to the floor). NPCs will presumably be quicker to notice you in the mirror if you're armed or something but they won't react 100% realistically in order to give you an opportunity to duck out of sight.

Worth remembering that after people turn taps off, they have to mop up the puddle. Waiting for them to duck down to do that before you get out of the box will add a couple more seconds at most. The main difference I can see on Paris is if you've got into the first floor toilets near the official staircase up to the auction in your suit. In Hitman 1 you can KO three people per room, two bodies stashed in the closet and one left on the floor. Since mirrors don't work, you can cover behind the door and the third guy won't see you as he comes in. In 2, you'll need an open closet space to stay undetected until they start mopping, so you can only hit two men per toilet, unless I'm missing something about the way it works. You might just need to be more sneaky, I guess it'll depend on how the mirror visibility works out.

The mirrors may not work as smoothly as IO thinks they do when put through a lot of player tomfoolery. One thing I wonder is whether they can see things other than 47. If I put a breaching charge on the wall behind a mirror, would the NPC notice the weapon there?

The trailer suggests (but doesn't outright state) that NPCs see worse in the dark. That could be interesting. Also the briefcase may be coming to Season One, but I'm not sure what the point of that is once Hitman 2 is out because I don't plan to be playing the first game again instead of just playing S1 content in the new game.

If the ICA facility is back I hope they let us do loadouts in there. I had a lot of fun on that cardboard cruise ship and military base but would have had more in a cowboy outfit with explosive ducks.StrixNebulosa posted:It's me, I'll enjoy replaying those maps.

Interesting note for those worried that Hawke's Bay might be a tutorial level, or at least be limited like one: There is a trophy that reads "Select a Starting Location and use an Agency Pickup to smuggle an item into Hawke's Bay." That means there may be multiple starting locations and definitely will be loadouts on the map, because you can't satisfy this unless there's loadout access and at least one starting + smuggle point. EDIT: Also, one trophy for Sniper Assassin mode requires completing the mission in co-op, but that appears to be the only multiplayer-required trophy. An issue for people who just hate playing with other people, I guess (but you just have to finish the map, not SA it). No trophies for Ghost Mode.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Video games have a storied history of really, really bad accents, I figure they wanted to dodge that bullet and make incidental dialogue easy to understand. It's from the last page but I just have to comment  Sean Rose is Australian. In the briefing Diane also mentions he was implicated in a bombing of a government building in Auckland, so that might've been it.Hello thread! I bought HITMAN tm back in 2016 when the first ep was released, subsequently played it a little bit more, then dropped off after not being able/not having the patience to finish Morocco. About a month or two ago I was bored and decided to check out Hitman again (playing along with the Giant Bomb videos from way back, though they're infuriating to watch once you have a basic familiarity with the game), and have pretty much spent all my video game time since then playing this game. It's really, really good, but you all probably know that. I really regret that the game didn't seem to click for me back in the day; I think I had been playing a lot of MGSV at the time and was frustrated that the stealth wasn't alike. Once realising that it's a puzzle game, and that the predictability and simplicity of the AIs is the *point*, however, it made so much more sense. It rules that IOI was able to get out from under SE and continue the series. Needless to say that Hitman 2 has been my most anticipated game of late, probably even more than RDR2 to be honest, and I'm very keen to be on the ground floor. I didn't think that Hawke's Bay would be a tutorial level. Seeing as they've made lighting affect the AI view range, I figured you could probably get away with some neat stuff on a big beach with dunes at night, as well as the (I imagine) mansion-esque beach house.

You can delete the tape even if that happens, but that probably won't work in 2 if you're trespassing when you do it.
