This is really well made so far but I don’t like that you missed a lot of Hitman Codename 47 stuff or some stuff that is just straight up wrong. You didn’t mention the actual intended way of completing Lee Hong Assassination is poisoning the food of Lee Hong, and getting a sick cutscene for it to kill his bodyguard Tzu, is one example. Or Jungle God the intended route is to give him a boar or pig to eat, but people run through the animal now, and for Say Hello to my Little Friend, you can bring a sniper from Find the Uwa Tribe and actually snipe Pablo at the start. All of this plants the seeds for what Hitman would become, and I just wish you gave the game a bit more of a chance and really tried. EDIT: Man now getting into Hitman 2 Silent Assassin and I’m just getting annoyed at how wrong you are and how it could’ve been solved with just a little research. The laptop absolutely makes sense. In the 2nd Codename 47 mission, you can see him whip out a laptop that was most likely given by the ICA to him via communication. It literally does make sense narratively. They probably gave him the laptop you see in SA as an update, but you’re acting like somehow the events of H2 happened right after Codename 47 (like a day later) which isn’t the case.

Your criticism of Seafood Massacre is a bit ridiculous. There are many variations to the strategy you laid out, and many of them are far more efficient. I, for one, didn't even know you could use the car as a distraction and never needed it for SA. There's rat poison in the sewer near the restraunt, you can poison the drinks and give them to the waiter, or serve them yourself. There's also a power box controlling the chef's stove underneath the restraunt you can use to distract him to knock him out or just so you can slip in and poison the drinks. If you do this, eventually the chef will give the poisened drinks to the waiter, which will give it to the police officer and the Triad leader, killing them. Seafood Massacre is genuinley one of the best levels in contracts. It sucks you missed all of this then maligned the level for not letting you "poison the soup"

Colorado, Colombia & Isle of Sgail were contracted out to a company called Sumo Digital. IOI possibly planned to complete Colorado in-house as there was a much more ambitious map design found in the files of the Hitman Alpha build which featured a large industrial compound style. Similarly, Hokkaido seemed to be a little more expansive with an additional floor present in the pre-alpha level - though Hokkaido as we know it is broadly in line with the discovered map. Colorado on the other hand is a completely different beast.

The last level of hitman can most certainly be speedrunned by opening the interaction menu to send the elevator to the second floor, but before committing to the action, turning around, and immediately running out as soon as you commit to the interaction. You can quite easily run out the doors of the elevator before they close. It's cheap, but in my head I like to rationalize it by thinking that 47, having been raised in this place, would magically know about this secret entrance in advance

Hitman is the 007 James Bond of the gaming world. I never want to stop playing Hitman.

🇮🇳🙏Pasting this comment from hitman 2016 announcement trailer I made after hitman 3s release. I'm still playing it and other old favs after being diagnosed as terminally Ill. Absolutely loved the entire video bro. So good to see a fellow hitman fan talking about it in depth. *LONG COMMENT IN APPRECIATION FOR HITMAN TRILOGY* Hitman games from 2016 to 2021 are now my all time fav games ever personally. Right after the Arkham series out of which imo Arkham knight restrospectively is a technological Marvel to this day. even as a hardcore hitman fan from old days I didn't find much to nitpick in them. It's a miracle how after all the developement issues these games still hold quality (some inconsistencies yes like the rushed cutscenes in hitman 2018 but even then the narrative was so good and still picture cutscenes did good job)and ended on a high note with the third and most recent hitman 3 even having a great story. And plus... All of it you can play in vr now. Graphics.. look great and with ray tracing it looks immaculate now esp. the china level. Also.. mild spoiler but the very first e3 trailer from 2015 for first Hitman season is basically the end of hitman 3 showing all upcoming locations and targets and the trailer ends with Diana saying.. it's good to have u back. Also theres a cool hidden ending which will blow your mind if you've played hitman c47 like me the very first game of series. Hitman isn't even supposed to compete with other games on basis of guns/ cars/ effects explosions etc yet cyberpunk looks trash even compared to hitman. Graphically speaking, cybertrash ain't got shit on Hitman's Berlin and china level for eg. The real meat of hitman is NPC / target characters and world stories especially the dialogue and replayability. the amount of hidden dialogues is impeccable in these hitman games. I don't think it's even possible to hear everything from every scenario you can create and that's not even counting the scripted story stuff you hear in mission opportunities. The dialogue here is the stuff of legend in the whole gaming I'd say. We praise writing for tlou or uncharted and things like that but story telling here is so different. And so immediate. For eg comments on how NPCs after waking up from a knockout say and even change dialogue based upon whether or not they witnessed you before being knocked out, whether they remember you, what disguise you wearing, who are they detailing your info to? Is it a guard or a fellow NPC , the NPCs will describe your illegal actions to guards surprisingly in a very detailed and varied way, guards will taunt you and command you to drop various items by their names while trying to arrest you and even alert others if you try to shoot with empty gun, NPCs even will even have a funny comment if they realize you're wearing their clothes after knocking them out and they're naked. then there's gunpoint/ getting shot dialogue, subdue dialogue, nps commenting on your disguise and even noticing things like if you're wearing a too hot of an outfit on a sunny day or a different/ whacky suit that has no context to the location you're playing in, all elusive targets have their own backstories and that content most people never dive into that extensively. Infact content of elusive targets may now be forever lost and all of it never felt like a side / low effort chore. It all had its own briefing videos, own voice acting, own stories, own character moments with targets and had the same attention and care as the main missions from the main game. Then there's so many "hidden" dialogues for eg in the 2016 the landslide mission, after killing Marco abiatti his bodyguard will go to the tower to his colleagues and be sad about how he couldn't save his boss and he'll be fired again which will make things difficult for him and his pregnant wife. Just the sheer amount of backstory details in these new hitman games is quite simply ridiculous. The dialogue frankly to me seems endless. Like is said, It's literally impossible to have heard everything for every scenario in these games

In plutonium runs loose (around 55 mins into the video) I think the point was that you were supposed to not just have a disguise, but you hand to "blend in" with that disguise by following patrol groups that went through the gates. If you walked in the back of the patrol group, then you could walk in when they opened the gates to walk through. So the idea is that you blend in a group, but stick out as an individual. Unfortunately it wasn't super well implemented and sometimes got bugged, but it was an interesting idea that I think could've been more fleshed out with more time and budget :P as it is, the easiest way to do this is to alert one single guard, and as he runs back to boris to alert him, you can just run behind him and follow as he opens the gate (i.e. the speed run strat)

Hidden & Dangerous, it was way ahead of its time & extremely cheap on steam. I've played the 2016 hitman but I'm still confused with what to buy regarding HM 3 as I bought a lot of DLC for 2016. Cheers.

Hidden and Dangerous sounds familiar, I might have played it back in the day, I'll have to revisit it.

I can't believe you didn't talk about the secret Closing Statement mission story for Mendoza, it is very Diana heavy. Excellent video by the way

Legitimately the only thing I was really upset about when making the video. Heartbroken when I realized it as I loved Thief 1 and 2. I remember thinking when getting the capture, "Do you really get the water arrows this early?" Should have double checked.

The thing about the requiem level is that when you run out of health time slows down which gives you a better opportunity to aim at everybody’s head. Three successful headshots and you get a little bit of health back. I think it’s the perfect story beat because everyone realizes in that moment that no matter how many bullets you put in agent 47 he won’t go down and i think that makes you feel more of a badass than you already were. And technically IO at the very last level reminds you that “hey there’s this one more mechanic that you totally forgot about” I think requiem is perfect for those reasons

3:13:22 I don’t know anything about high fashion but tbh 5,000 USD (which I think is like 7,500 today) for a bespoke custom-fitted suit seems like a pretty reasonable if a **bit** high price? Because I’d imagine that includes *every part* of the suit, including, like, the shoes, and fancy dress shoes can get real pricy. Also, this isn’t a corrextion or anything and maybe you even address it later, I don’t know, I just wanna mention it because I think it’s funny, but the games prior to WoA definitely do not make it seem like 47 spends his money on much else, so I think it’s reasonable to assume that 47’s suits make up, like, 75% of his non-work related budget.

Fair, and the jobs certainly pay well enough to justify it.

Believe it or not, there are some men (here on the tubes you can find them) who work for the primary purpose of affording a bespoke suit. 7,500 USD isn't bad, but then, there are the accoutrements that must attend said bespoke suit... oh boy...and I thought 800USD was a stretch to pay for designer shoes.

I’ll round out my stream of like 8 different comments that probably could have just been one thread by saying that you and I have two different takes on Lucas, personally, he’s my favorite character in the franchise, but I started with 2016 so that could be why. I respect and agree with your take- the angle of your alternate version of how things could have gone down at the end of Dartmoor is intriguing to me. Ultimately, I’m just glad that you’re not of the opinion that the end of Dartmoor as it pertains to Lucas was pointless or done outright badly, which is a take that I’ve seen a frankly startling amount. It’s a really good scene, and one of my personal favorites of the trilogy.

I liked Lucas, he makes for a really interesting narrative foil for 47. I just wish they had more time to flesh him out and do more with him. I suspect he's another casualty of Hitman 2 (2018) rapid release. I'm glad they at least gave him an ending in 3, rather than having him as a loose end.

@@michaelaguero8209 Yeah, I agree. Part of me is tempted to say that if IOI ever revisits WOA in any capacity, I’d love to see remade versions of 2’s cutscenes, but that’d be a lot of effort for something that probably wouldn’t have a high return.

Same. I really wish they had a team to remake all the old levels in WoA's engine, but there's no way it'd generate enough revenue for them to ever do so.
