Man seeing that hitman year three YouTube video out of nowhere today was really cool. Honestly besides elusive targets I thought they were done to just focus on the bond game. I am very excited for freelancer mode and I wish I could try the PCVR mode. That said it’s awesome that it’s coming to game pass too. I put so many hours into this game and I’m happy I’m going to put so many more into it again.

I think the randomizer element is the most intriguing thing. Does that go for targets, enforcers and AI paths or only items?

So for next week, I've downloaded Hitman 2 so I have my saves locally, and my IOI account lists Hitman 2 in the account overview. It doesn't list Hitman 1, but I have access to all the maps and everything in it already. Is there anything else I do before Hitman 3 next week or do I just load it, link the account, then transfer the data? All three games would be on Steam so I'd assume it'd be fine

Is Hitman VR first person or what? I've never played anything in VR and third person sounds like a headache.

For 1 -> 2 on Steam it recognized your ownerships automatically and just downloaded it alongside Hitman 2 for you, as simple as can be.

Hitmanforums has a fantastic thread of concept art (much of it not well known) for the whole series. A goon shared it with me; apologies, I forget who!

Maybe I'm just cynical, but I think that with Freelancer they may be recycling part of what they're developing for the Bond game. It wouldn't surprise me if that turns out to have corresponding features, with the safehouse being either a safehouse or MI6 and having to take out a random middling henchman before moving on to something greater. And the dress up part that was in the video feels like it'd be right at home too. And in a way, it builds on what they did with Berlin and the garden show map, where it doesn't really matter which of the targets you take out.

I logged onto Hitman 3 for the first time in about three weeks last night, because the Rage ET is up and I missed that target during 2021. It's also was the first time I played Hitman on my new OLED 55 CX. Thoughts. 1) Like I know that there are other objectively better looking games that I tried. (God of War, H:ZD, Crysis HD Remake) But I was more impressed loading that Elusive Target than I was with those games. Maybe it's because those games deal with larger open worlds and wow you with large scaled details, where Hitman's close up antics allow you to appreciate the finer details more. Or maybe it's because I have sank 60+ hours into Hitman that I immediately see these new details and brighter lights that I wouldn't loading up a different unfamiliar game. 2) It also meant that when I went into the sniper challenge I could see the Light switches I was supposed to shoot at the wedding while sitting on my couch instead of having to walk right up to my old 42 inch LCD to try and spot them. 3) After a bunch of attempts of luring the guards out of the Rage's room where he plays his phone and getting spotted, I discovered that the guard doing push ups can't see you while doing that. So I got to tranq his buddy, drag him into the locker and poison the cocaine, all while the other guard worked out. I can tell this annoyed the game as when the Rage did go into the room, guards went to all manner of spots in the room and upper stairs as if to say "if you were still here we would have seen through your disguise right now."

Saw the a bunch of posts itt and rightfully got excited. Here's where I'm at after watching the video:Flayer posted:Haven't played Hitman for like 9 months but excited about that update. Freelancer sounds like a ton of fun. That Dang Dad posted:Holy poo poo, customizable safe house? Randomized missions?? Heckin' rad, I'm excited. Wolfsheim posted:Freelancer is a neat idea, its basically taking the mechanics of escalations/featured contracts and then giving a simple narrative to it The_Doctor posted:I like seeing 47 outside work, and look forward to playing in the doll house. + excited about new map tease.

Elusive target arcade means I'll finally be doing a lot of the elusive targets. I could just never be bothered keeping up with when they were out and playing them at the time. This way seems much better.

Yeah I get the idea behind elusive targets and like the "fail a mission get locked out for some time" mechanic but I don't need a week-limited FOMO thing in my single player game when I often travel for work for a week or more at a time

I really am happy though that they are going forward on this I really thought we’d get elusive targets recycled, but they were just gonna go full steam ahead on the Bond title. I am just so excited for having the freelancer mode, even if it’s something they graft it over from the Bond game, I’m totally fine with it. I will say though I would really love an extra new mission, that said if they can just find a balance between reusing assets, but given lots of new directions and angles(and perhaps new dialogue), I’m cool with the remixes then. Granted for me that’s just a cherry on the top.

New map looks like some kind of Island in the Pacific, hopefully there's enough going on to differentiate it from Haven island or Santa fortuna.

Haven Island's storm was cool but its a real shame that it had no gameplay significance and none of the NPCs commented on it.

started saving and re-loading if things go south, when trying to let the last story missions of each level. I had a hell of a time with the remote emetic gas explody device, with the General guy in Marrakesh. If he sees it he reports it. if you throw it at him then trigger it, it goes off right at his feet ... ... then he runs away and reports you. if you drop it behind him then set it off, it works but only gets him (I thought it would cover a larger area than one person). Overall it seems a bit crap although I finally got it working.

Trigger it while you are holding the briefcase for a magical stink bomb that feels like cheating.

These games are so good. I'm going through all of the hitman 1/2 missions and doing all of the story missions / getting to minimum level 10 in each. It's just so drat fun.

So do we pay for this new stuff or is it a free update? I’d absolutely pay for if that’s the case. This dev team is a beacon of light in a sea of lovely half baked functional AAA games

My favorite thing about VR has been the sense of space you get in HL Alyx, just hanging out in these well realized environments. I wish there were more VR games focused around that, and your post is giving me high hopes for Hitman (even if I know it won't have the level of environmental engagement that Alyx does).

Hitman VR has that in spades, sense of place that is. There are some compromises from the flat experience (no minimap, instinct is toned down a lot, camera and sniper scopes are abruptly 2D) but then again I don't know just how much they've improved things for PCVR so I might be wrong. PCVR is also leaps and bounds beyond PSVR which is what I have so your experience should be even better no matter what. I think following someone in the alleyways in Mumbai was one of the best VR moments I had last year, it's really cool. You're in for a treat.

I booted up Hitman 1 this afternoon and was surprised to see Santa Claus levels out of loving nowhere. I didn't download them and, worse, disguising myself as Santa agro'd everybody. I figured it'd be the opposite but maybe I had a gun out or something.
