Hitman 2

Apologies for the double-post, but here's a short interview with David Bateson, the voice actor for Agent 47. He mostly talks about things like what it's like having voiced the guy for 19 years and briefly talks about Sean Bean being in the game.

His response to being asked how he feels to have joined the exclusive club of those who have killed Sean Bean is hilarious. "It's not that much of an exclusive club."

A lot of people think that Sean Bean might be a recurring elusive contract since he faked his death at least 25 times prior.

Here's hoping. I have too much of a backlog now to justify buying this. Plus changing jobs at the mo. Ugh timing.

Spiderman DLC, finish RDR 2 then maybe look into this. Damn it looks fun though.

So, I've picked up the game.

It's very-very enjoyable.

Mind you, since you can download the entirety of Season 1 and play it through, it feels like Hitman Super Deluxe Edition rather than an actual sequel.

Which isn't bad.

The game also feels a lot less "hand holdy" with the fact Opportunities don't tell you how to go from A-Z. You have to figure them out yourself.

Holiday Horders returns! ... for a limited time. You have until January 8 next year to finish the contract, its challenges, and get the Santa 47 suit. Also, if you don't have the Paris legacy level yet, it's free to download for the same time period.

Also, for those who haven't heard, the second Elusive Target will be arriving on December 21 and will stick around for 10 days.

It will probably be Sean Bean again.

Got a Silent Assassin on the Revolutionary. Now to complete "Holiday Hoarders" to get that Santa suit.

Heads up to anyone with the Legacy Pack: the Fugitive Elusive Target will be reactivated tomorrow and will be available for 10 days.

Oh neat.

Anyone get the season 1 Hitman for free with PS+ and use it to unlock those legacy missions in Hitman 2? Wondering if it's possible, though I already have the legacy pack.

So, where is the forum for "Hitman: Season One"- in explanation, the previous Hitman game before this one? I can't really find it.

In related Hitman news, both Hitman Blood Money and Hitman Absolution are now available on gog.com with a discount promo until the end of the weekend.

Also, a stinger in Hitman 2's April roadmap video hints Mark Faba (Sean Bean's character) is still alive.

I'm guessing that it's a clone. New elusive target will be Mark II Faba.

Mark Faba is back today. Looks like even 47 can't kill this guy so easily.

EDIT: Removed the video of the briefing since the video is no longer on YouTube.

Apologies for the triple post, but for those who haven't seen it yet, there's a trailer for the first new area from the expansion pass: New York. Seems like Agent 47 will be tasked with killing Athena Savalas and also retrieving some data from the bank.

I've 100%'d the Bank! Fear my power. It was a lot of fun.

Two reasons for the bump. One is that Noclip have released the first of four Hitman videos. I figured it'd be of interest.

About 37 mintues in, it indicates that a Hitman 3 is coming, which might also go episodic again. The majority of the IO is apparently working on 'something new', though.

This month also saw the release of a new Sniper Assassin map, for those who like the Sniper Assassin mode: Siberia.

The September roadmap has just been released. Though at the time of this writing, they've erroneously labeled some of the dates as "August" instead of "September."

For the big things:

• The Haven Island map, which is part of the expansion pack, will be released on 9/24.
• Two special missions, "A Silver Tongue" and "A Bitter Pill," will also be released on 9/24.
• Two Legacy Elusive Targets will appear this month: the Blackmailer and the Angel of Death.

I'm a little curious as to why they haven't released new Elusive Targets lately and have been sticking with the Legacies. Hopefully we'll see some new ones soon. Or at least give me a shot at the Forger or Pharmacist since I missed out on those two during the Hitman Elusive Target rerun.

I think Hitman 2 had some flaws that only got corrected by the addition of two additional missions that I only found out were added this week.

The Twins were such boring bosses that the New York and Haven Island adventures really compensated for it.

there's a challenge i really want to see someone try on Hitman 2 on the Isle of Sgail: Silent Assassin, Knight Armor Only (optional: Medieval Weapons Only]

Theoretically, the basic idea quite easy. But only if you mean "kill the targets while disguised as the knight" (since you can't start in it).

Use the mission story to isolate Sophia on top of the castle - giving you access to the armor - and take her out. Then call the electrocution phone you gave to Zoe much earlier, change out of the knight costume, and leave. Because FUCK trying to sneak around that area without a proper disguise.

Using a melee weapon on Zoe as the knight - while retaining Silent Assassin - seems impossible. Maybe a really janky throw could do it, somehow. Otherwise, it would require an insane amount of tedium, knocking out everyone who could potentially mess up the route.

nope, i mean change into it and never change out of it and still try to get Silent Assassin

Like I said, impossible without extreme tedium. You can't climb while in the armor, meaning your only option is to haul your metal ass straight through multiple crowded, guarded rooms in order to reach an exit, let alone a second target.

it also turns the every single area into a hostile area,but if you can manage to do it, you can flex on everyone that has gotten a Sient Assassin Suit Only

Hi, I’ve been thinking about creating a centralised character page for the series. If anyone is interested in joining me / willing to give me some sound advice, then I’m more than happy and willing to receive it!!

Hi, I've centralised the Hitman character page (somewhat) and I've still got a few things left to do to help further improve it to an acceptable level in my own honest (and humble) opinion:

1) Add the Delgado Drug Cartel to the factions section

2) Instead of creating a page for all its myriad factions, I've added to its main character page where I hope to add a "further details" section, much in the same vein as the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character page (but one which will detail leadership, members, etc)

3) Rename the Allies page to something far more appropriate to its current state

4) Move the Elusive Targets page to their respective game character oages
