Just read that they're cutting back on "triggered events" and having a lot more stuff play out during missions in real time regardless of player input, kind of like Blood Money. Even more hype!!

Awesome. That's one part of the new one i didn't like as much, it made the levels feel a bit static instead of this big machine that you're just a spanner in

There was a little but of that and it felt weird shoehorned in. Like if you took too long Helmut would stop hanging out by the water and would actually go do the fashion show himself.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Can't believe this is coming out in less than a month. Apparently a preview embargo lifts today so we should see a lot more information this week, but IOI still hasn't shown anyone any levels except for Miami and Columbia which is kind of cool to me. I didn't mind the episodic style for the first game but it did kind of take away the joy of surprise when each mission was heavily advertised and previewed like a month before it came out. Can't wait to jump into this one not knowing what's coming

It's the last game I'm buying this year. Trying to figure out if I want to max master on each level before moving on or going through in order as a first pass

I'm going to master each level before I move on like god intended. I played 1 that way even though I got it all at once and it was great

Yeah same here, it seems like the way to go. I'm also curious how many unlocks are carrying over from the first season. I think they said already but I forgot. I hope we still have the exploding cell phone

Also insane that all the Hitman 1 levels are gonna be playable in it with all the new mechanics and engine upgrades and stuff. I wish they'd release that part early as a preorder bonus or something because I'm really tempted to play through it again but I'd feel silly doing it with an enhanced version a few weeks away

Yeah they should do this as a surprise the week before release or something. It'd be great marketing

That's a really cool way to do MP, I like the idea of being able to sabotage your opponent's plan
