Hitman series Megathread - "Names are for friends, so i don't need one" - Games

[QUOTE=BloodFox1222;38606211]Silent assassin is the silent assassin rank.[/QUOTE] Odd. I got the silent assassin achievement without getting the rank.

I really wish there were more levels like (spoilers) [sp]chinatown, the gunshop, the courthouse, and the first part where you kill some of Lenny's gang. The whole game has so much hostile territory that I almost feel like they had to nerf disguises from Blood Money because it made it too easy to never be seen.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Coffee;38605421]Okay I checked up some information, the new Hitman game is going to be made by Square Enix Montreal, who are 10 minutes away from Eidos Montreal who are making Thief 4. IO Interactive will be making either a sequel to one of their other titles or a new franchise altogether.[/QUOTE] Did I just read thief 4? [B] THIEF 4?! FUCK YEAH[/B]

Nice. I love that people keep finding new easter eggs.

All new engine, massively improved graphics and animations. Still no fiber wire animation.

"have you popped any nuns so far?" "in what way lol :downs:" >:I proceeds to righteously slaughter every badguy in orphanage, dressed up as a priest. and i'm not even religious.

yeah it was hard not to just slaughter everyone in the orphanage level (for moral reasons not because it was hard). you get an achievement for killing the ones beating on the guard.

im stuck on that level now all the fuses are easy except the one in the room with all the drugs

[QUOTE=AshMan55;38609733]im stuck on that level now all the fuses are easy except the one in the room with all the drugs[/QUOTE] go into the room immediately, get it before the dudes walk into the room and go behind the counter. then sneak around the right hand side (really easily) when they are not looking or when they leave again after getting called back out everyones having trouble with that and i dont understand why

yeah i think i just approached it wrong, i was going for that one last

[QUOTE=AaronM202;38608157]All new engine, massively improved graphics and animations. Still no fiber wire animation.[/QUOTE] What? I'm pretty sure there are animations for using the fiber wire.

I particularly love the jump kick animation

[QUOTE=AshMan55;38609748]yeah i think i just approached it wrong, i was going for that one last[/QUOTE] i kill the guy on the phone, sneak past and get the first one, head right back the same way and go down the stairs and get the second, i forget what the third is? then i hobble into the medicine room before the dudes have walked in, grab it, wait for them to leave, sneak around them to the fuse box. i just tried it on a harder difficulty and the second fuse is in a different place :I

[QUOTE=BlackRainbow;38609817]What? I'm pretty sure there are animations for using the fiber wire.[/QUOTE] He means you still can't see the fiber wire when you strangle someone.

I'm p much stuck on it Every time I get spotted I just alt+f4 so it's going to take a while

I ended up resorting to this [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPHsAsSVQZY[/media]

Oh wow, we used the same video for that level. It was a fucking bitch to do towards the end of it with the 4th fuse.

Is there any point in turning on the gas stoves in the streets of hope level?

[QUOTE=LorimerBlack;38612117]Is there any point in turning on the gas stoves in the streets of hope level?[/QUOTE] I used it in the barbershop once but I don't see the point of it in that room The room size isn't big enough to shoot it and live and planting a bomb there doesn't even detonate the stove for some reason. I don't know, unless you can get a sniper spot where you can actually see it from outside the room

Yeah you can. Just did it myself.

[QUOTE=PieClock;38612221]You'd probably be able to shoot it from the 2nd floor balcony of the garage across the street.[/QUOTE] Right, I thought it might be usable in a signature kill, guess not. I also thought you might drop the car onto a target but they never stand under it. What is that for then? And is it possible to equip only a single silverballer?

In the end I just gave up on the score and had a pile of 20 bodies hidden in a single room of the orphanage.

Nothing is more infuriating than having your game crash at the fricking moment you are finally about to complete your objective unnoticed. Just had it happen at the Factory Compound. Finally see the disguise I need after many missteps, try to lure him to a quiet place, mess up serval times, finally get his notice out of view of the guards, and then the AI literally breaks down. He just stands there dumbfounded for five minutes without doing anything. Ah, no problem just reload from the last checkpoint and - [B]What do you mean Hitman5.exe has stopped working, no fuck you. [/B]

Did anyone else notice the [sp]subtle Resident Evil reference in "Death Factory" with Dr. Valentine and Dr. Ashford's names?[/sp] [editline]27th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=A big fat ass;38605541]I read awhile ago that their next game after Hitman Absolution would be a new IP. I don't have a source, but it wasn't that long ago I don't think.[/QUOTE] I'm assuming the next new game is going to be a sequel to Freedom Fighters, since they said in like 2007 it was on their To-do list after Hitman and Kane&Lynch.

You want to replay levels but you're put off because the game makes you replay levels. Nice.
