What locations and missions from past Hitman games would you ideally like to see remade in the form of the modern games?
Beldingford Manor with more going on.

Hunter & Hunted because it'd make no sense.

You Better Watch Out would be good, repurpose assets from Hokkaido and Holiday Hoarders and you're halfway there already.

Make it a water park so we have an excuse to unlock the wetsuit from Hawke's Bay.

Possible kills include: opening and operating (as a park employee) an unfinished/under maintenance ride that has the target drop down face-first into the hard concrete of an empty pool. Luring the target behind the scenes and pushing them into the mechanisms of the wave pool. Emptying air tanks on scuba gear. Poisoning their sunscreen.

At risk of getting put on a list; The White House. As a location, not a remake of the plot. The same with the King of China Town.

White House would definitely be cool but in the current political climate it would probably be pretty hard for them to get away with it (I mean hell didn't they already get in a little bit of trouble for it even when Blood Money came out?).

The riverboat level from Blood Money would be a cool one to revisit - or at least, a similar concept. To bring it up to Hitman 2016 level scale, they could have something on a cruise ship instead. A casino level would also be neat, although that might end up being kind of similar to the Bangkok hotel since that's basically what it was in Blood Money.

Something that could be interesting would be to roll all the old Hong Kong levels from the original game into one big level, where you do could do all the various things from those in order to gain access to other areas - i.e. start by infiltrating the meeting between triads and assassinating one, starting a gang war, which would change the AI behaviour on the rest of the map and potentially open up other areas, and so on. It would probably be a huge scripting nightmare to make work, though, since for it to really be a proper new Hitman level, they'd also have to have the option of skipping any of the steps and finding some alternative way in.

Riverboats are often also casinos so you could do a combination ship/hotel/casino mission for a fair bit of environmental variety.

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.
I wanna emphasize that hotel levels are actually pretty sucky from a stealth design standpoint- lots of identical, small dead ends on main artery corridors. There's a reason Gama has four rooms total, and the Himmapan 12.

A remake of the abandoned theme park as a running theme park/water park is a solid pick. Maybe even both at once in a big Disneyworld-like park.

Let us use our coins to buy merch to throw/wear as a tourist disguise, cotton candy to poison, and access to some rides. I'm thinking stuff like an arcade with a claw machine on the premise, which 47 can rig to always/never work to catch out a target who really wants one toy, or paying extra to get all the ride photos so there's no evidence left. Bean your target with a novelty licence plate with their name on it, end Bort's miserable life.

The key thing is that it has to be at least a semi-operational park instead of a run-down abandoned one so we can have 47 riding spinning teacups with a Mickey Mouse Ricky Rat hat and a completely deadpan expression in the background of someone being punted into space by one of those lift rides he's sabotaged.


Failing that I'd want A Dance With The Devil solely to get that golden suit/mask, or any of the ones with multiple enemy assassins because the Kashmirian bit of Mumbai was pretty fun. So long as we can rig up a couple of enemy assassins into mutually believing each other is their target and getting an SA rating from an extremely loud gunfight between them.

I freaked out because my game crashed after I'd already downloaded data from the laptop and I thought it might classify this as abandoning the mission and mark it as failed. Happily it hadn't and I was able to complete it, and now I have also have my own awesome Undying suit too.

this ET has a serious phobia of toilets when they get sick. He goes to a garbage can just outside the top floor bathroom instead of going to the toilet like anyone else. If you give one of the hackers an emetic needle, he'll go downstairs to vomit over there. Very annoying.

This does provide an opportunity for a different accident kill. coin + chandelier = perfect crime

PS make sure when you PLACE the phone on the desk that the hacker isn't right there or he'll take it instead.

That would be a pretty fun remix of A Murder of Crows. You'd have to ditch the whole senator assassination angle because it wouldn't make any sense that the assassins are somehow confusing each other for him when like, they are wearing bird suits and he's standing on a podium on a parade float. But it would be pretty funny to set up various scenarios where somehow all three of them take each other out simultaneously.

they could just do an amusement park level that wasnt closed, the one they did was supposed to just be a lovely little boardwalk carnival, not really a full fledged modern amusement park. For an excuse of having high security things going on just have there be like the president is visiting the park and the target is the head of secret service or something along those lines

Ripper Swarm

It's not that I hate it. It's that I loathe it.
Don't need to go that far, just have the targets be:
a) the CEO of the giant entertainment conglomerate that owns the park and
b) the superilluminati member who's meeting them to hand over this year's Secret Media Brainwashing plans.

Amusement parks are fuckin' gigantic so set the whole mission in a subset of the full park, Space Land or Western Land or Militia Apricot Farm Land or whatever. Make it so the mission takes place on the area's grand opening day. The centrepiece of the new area is a new rollercoaster, but the park engineers are having last minute problems.

The CEO's there to open the new zone, the other guy is there because there's a lot of other VIPs around for the event giving him cover for the meeting, as well as a ton of extra security. To distinguish it from Miami I'd make the CEO a very mobile target who's touring around the public areas of the park with his entourage, almost never out of the civilian crowds: very easy to get close, but hard to kill unnoticed (especially if IOI give him an aversion to picking up random phones). The other guy can be lurking in the more secure but less busy backstage/VIP area. Opportunities could alter those general states, of course.

I only recently watched any of the noclip docs, so just the Hitman and Doom ones so far. The interview bits are interesting enough, but is the presenter loading in as many clichés as possible on purpose? He's literally doing the "Oh, hello!

Oh yeah, it was more the multi-assassin setup than the actual plot. Just some kind of masquerade event where there are multiple hits going on at once and you're either tasked with stopping them or taking out one unrelated target who'd be evacuated quickly once bullets start flying. There are a lot of secondary themes that could go with it - mardi gras, masquerade ball, opera house's grand opening - but the main thing is having at least a couple of assassins doing their own thing.

Like you've knocked a dude out and are dragging him to a closet to hide the body but you bump into another disguise specialist doing the same thing.

The noclip documentary of FFXIV and its failure -> rebirth was really good, with some surprisingly indepth interviews with the director of the game and some other folks. It wasn't as ah, cliche as this one.

I may have manipulated the AI slightly, and stretched the rules to their breaking point. I'm sure sub-2:00 is possible here, but everybody has to cooperate in just the right way, including dragging the third guy straight into the locker room unnoticed which is hard at that timestamp, so I ended up going around for consistency.
