Could just be an ET that's part of her entourage. They did something similar with a Marrakesh ET that was just a security guy at the embassy. Really curious what the suit unlock would be, though.

Heya people, questiontime.
I loved Hitman™ a lot, and I am considering buying 2 now.
I have the following Legacy DLC: Map 1 to 6, Legacy: Bonus Mission , missing the bonus outfits and the Patient Zero Campaign.

Questions about 2, I currently don't own any episodes for it, but I am interested in buying it since I need to spend some money asap anyway (expiring credit somewhere).
- The Gold Edition seems to the the game + expansion level 1 & 2 and some other random stuff. When are these expansion expected to come out and what are the bonus items?
- Upgrading my legacy collection to "full" seems bad value going by the HM2 store page, would buying the DLC for the original one give me the legacy versions in 2?
- I'll be able to run Hitman™ 2 "okayish" till like April when I upgrade my PC, I know this is guessing but there isn't any reason to suspect a deeper discount before say the summer or something right?

- No clue when the expansions come out. The bonus items are reskins of other items in the game, including suits.

The Legacy DLC is actually DLC for Hitman 2. It allows you to play all of Hitman 1 (2016) in Hitman 2 (2018), with the improved engine and added gameplay features. You don't keep your progress + unlocks sadly.

There are no "episodes" for Hitman 2, you just buy the entire game at once (except for the 2 forthcoming expansions, but we don't know what that will be yet).

Zedd posted:

We don't know what the expansions will be yet. Just stick with buying the standard game unless money is burning a hole in your pocket. The bonus items are skins for 2 weapons and not remotely worth it at all.

Zedd posted:

I *think* you'll just be missing the Patient Zero campaign. Which isn't the end of the world, it's pretty good if you really want a bit more content out of the 2016 levels, but you'll have a ton to do in the 2018 levels already so you probably won't miss it.

Zedd posted:

If you ran Hitman/2016 fine, you'll be able to run Hitman 2/2018 fine. And you should watch for it to go on sale - I picked it up for $30 (on PS4) during a winter sale. I'll be willing to bet you won't see that price again before the summer sale, but if you can't wait, it's definitely worth $60.

there's a weird magical settings solution that lets you run Hitman on a potato

works way better in 2 than in 1

can't remember exactly but there are walkthroughs floating around, it's a single factor that you change in the registry once you have all your other graphics settings to your liking

Note that there have been ETs on the summer bonus maps, but there have not been any on the Patient Zero maps. Unless they make a new one, you won't miss any limited content if lacking PZ except maybe a featured contract on The Source.

I'm assuming it's overriding supersampling to be a fractional amount. They took out the abiltity to do that from the in-game settings but you can probably find it in the registry or a config file. It was the only way I could get the game to run on my poo poo pc back in the 2016 beta.

Edit: yeah, there's a "SuperSampling" option in the registry under "Computer\HKEY_USERS\<your user id in gibberish>\Software\IO Interactive\HITMAN2", mine is set to 1000 (pretty sure it's 1.0 in game) so changing that to 500 would maybe make your game look like total dogshit but run 4x faster (ish). :v:

Here's an example of what 0.5 supersampling looked like in beta.

Edit 2: yep, that still works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16L-YE10kHM

There are some downsides to the Ghost. It's too good at killing people, and has too much knockback. A clean Jaeger Covert headshot usually doesn't ragdoll as much. Also some people can be knocked into water with bodyshots for accident kills with non-Ghost Siegers whose bodies would be found if killed first by the shot.
I don't think the Jaeger Covert is in Hitman 2. It was a reward for "Master Sniper" in Hitman 2016, that Challegen doesn't exist in Hitman 2.

Really curious about the New Zealand ET, do ye think they'll completely redo the map and get rid of the Alma Reynard arriving scripted stuff and just have all the NPCs and target there when you start?
Why wouldn't they. NZ isn't that complex, and I think they've done that for other maps as well.

Just go for the cheapest option that will get you everything. You want to buy everything. I made the mistake of holding off on poo poo during the first season and I regreted that decision. If you like the game, just buy the entire thing.

I really hope that when Hitman 3 hits, that they just let you keep progress and everything.
If they want people to not bring their entire arsenal in on first go, they could just gate the old items behind levelling up your account, or something. Or behind unlocking similar items in 3.
(Or perhaps just prevent you from pulling in items from the older games until you've completed a mission for the first time or something.)

Though I really hope they can compact/clean up the inventory a bit if they're going to slap a '3' sticker on another set of items.
I wouldn't mind it if all the duplicate items/skins were compacted to 1 item, and then it just let you select the skin for it when choosing it. (Instead of cycling past 4-5 item slots worth of lethal syringes, etc.)

Seriously, you just save the game, bounce coins into the water, reload your save when out of coins, and repeat a couple times until you get the challenge. People have all these weird theories that the coins have to bounce off the rocks, but they just have to land in the water.

Stand in the middle of the carpet in front of the fountain and aim your throws at the orange line on the mirror, iirc the reflection from the lights that run on the moulding of the wall behind you. This should get you fairly consistent throws into the water.

The coins never bounce the same way twice, there's no perfect spot to be standing or perfect angle to aim for. There are better ways to throw, but it's never a guarantee and save scumming will take off an hour or so of attempting the worst challenge in the game.

They changed how bouncing works, so you have to choose weird spots to make sure it goes into the water instead of just not bouncing and falling onto the ledge.
