The Official "Hitman: Blood Money" thread.

[블라스]

Like I mentioned before, probably one of the last great games for the old generation (if not, THE last one).
Absolutely badass.
-----

Game Overview:

Hitman's back, drawing you closer than ever into his deadly world where staying anonymous, being smart and totally ruthless are the key to a perfect execution. Lucrative contracts on the rich and powerful in high profile locations, make killing for money good business. But when a rival agency enters the scene it's war and only the best man will be left standing.

-------------------

Features:

- Earn payment for the successful assassination of targets, the more professional your approach, the higher the reward.

- Play stealthily like a professional assassin or take out everyone in your path, but don't expect to escape the consequences if you leave a trail of evidence behind you. Your notoriety will affect your passage through the game.

- Use the funds you accumulate to purchase custom built weapon parts, to increase precision and effectiveness and reflect your preferred playing style.

- The world of the assassin has never been so interactive or looked so good. Living, breathing locations based upon real word environments and scenarios create a multitude of assassination possibilities, potential challenges and re-playable scenarios. Whilst never before seen levels of detail; including next-generation technical effects add even more realism to the game.

- Use the environment to your advantage, climb, scale and vault through your surroundings, to hunt down and eliminate your targets.

- New reactionary moves allow you to respond to the situations at hand - use hand to hand combat, distraction, hostages and many new assassination techniques to reach and take down your targets

- Realistic world simulation, with intelligent civilians and hostiles, observe and react to your behavior and respond to your notoriety.

- Fully dynamic camera, featuring 1st and 3rd person modes.

----------------------------

Notoriety System:

As with any hitman, retaining your anonymity is incredibly important - it becomes impossible to work if you are recognisable. Players will now be given the opportunity to 'clean up' after any botched hits. For instance, CCTV tapes can be removed from the scene, further evidence such as bodies, can be hidden in objects such as freezers, crates, garbage bins and laundry trolleys to prevent guards raising the alarm. The player should also consider the best way to get rid of any witnesses.

Should the player not take all necessary precautions to protect their identity, then they will find their Notoriety increasing. Newspaper articles reporting on the assassination will reveal more and more information about their identity as Hitman and produce a clearer photo fit image, to the point where guards and other NPC's will begin to react to them.

Hitman: Blood Money: Hands-On
We explore the improved mechanics and dark contrasts of Blood Money. Screens and video included.
by Douglass C. Perry
March 10, 2006 - While raging hormone-teeming teenagers ***** about who sniped each other first in Halo 2, those of us who like a steadier, stealthier kill have discovered the sweet dark work of IO Interactive's Hitman series. Originally introduced on PC in November 2000, the Hitman series has gradually attracted fans for a mixture of reasons, not all of which revolve around pure violence.



Agent 47 is an iconographic character in his own right, silently doing his job with precision and skill and rarely uttering a word. Visually, he's all about the bald head, serious, cold stare, the scan lines on the back of his neck, and a fine suit and tie. Behind the stark graphics and lure of harsh kills, however, the game has grown a massive fan-base because IO has shown a mastery of open-level design, stealth, and replay value like few other stealth games on the market.

At first look, Hitman: Blood Money may not strike you as vastly improved over previous games in the series. In all honestly, this is easily the best looking game in the series, but that's because it's hard to see contact-sensitive mechanics and new moves at work. The screenshots and movies we captured were predominantly from an early Xbox version, which, as you can see, display un-optimized code. You'll see aliasing, some clippings issues, and a decent but not great framerate. But the build we have is far from done; it's not finished, bug-tested, nor optimized. So if you see these images and worry just a little bit, don't. IO's Hitman games have always shined graphically and this year's effort should prove to the best looking one to date.

http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/article/695/695168/hitman-blood-money-20060310054211815-000.jpg
Start your day off right. Choke somebody.

Call it unwarranted hype if you want, but the team is doing so many things graphically that it's quite unbelievable. For instance, IO is implementing bump mapping, specular highlighting, shader models, refractions, and more on PS2. It was once believed that PS2 couldn't even handle bump mapping. Additionally, IO told us the game will look amazing on PC, practically next-generation level from a graphic standpoint, and should easily be one of the best looking games on PS2 and Xbox. So when you see these visuals, keep in mind the game will improve drastically.

http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/article/695/695168/hitman-blood-money-20060310054231986-000.jpg
Too cute to kill.

I'll refrain from re-telling the story as I've done in man previous articles, but know that Hitman takes place in several well-known and well-liked places, such as Las Vegas, and he's not the only one assigned to kill. Another assassin is on the prowl and he/she is after him. IO wanted to capture the stark contrast between normal everyday locations and the cold reality of Agent 47's job, the business of assassination. When placed in a normal suburb, or a peaceful amusement park, as opposed to dank, unrealistic or even slightly fictitious place, these new locations should generate a stronger response from players -- of surprise, perhaps shock, horror, or even awe.

http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/article/695/695168/hitman-blood-money-20060310054211190-000.jpg
And I'll be needing your car, too.

Several of the new abilities in Agent 47's arsenal certainly shocked me. IO's assassin is now capable of simple things that before seemed difficult. He can jump from a 20-story balcony to another one with simple, fluid controls and animations. He's capable of climbing on pipes, wall-sliding across dangerous areas, and as a little surprise to us, he's equipped with an arsenal of hand-to-hand grappling moves. For instance, Dan Adams (EIC at IGNPC) and I played the two of the three different versions (Xbox, PS2, and PC) and he almost mistakenly grappled a guard's gun from him, beat him up and shot the second guard to death. Independently I realized the same thing. I beat up a few guys, headbutted one, and found that in contrast to all previous versions, this version provides players with a plethora of disarm and distraction techniques not available in previous games.

The disarming moves are as simple as pressing an action button when near an enemy. This simple trick adds all sorts of layers and possibilities to the already deep gameplay. You can distract enemies or NPCs as well. In your bag of tricks you'll usually find throw-able pennies that lead guards off their posts so you can go about your dirty business. Not only are these changes reflected in improved animations and better-looking graphics, but Hitman's general level of athleticism and fluidity makes easier to play. And I don't mean easy as in Yoshi's-Island-easy, I mean more natural, fluid, and intuitive.



Following our theme of contrasts, Blood Money works behind the scenes to affect the world around Agent 47. As the game progresses, you'll come to enjoy the subtlety of relevant newspaper stories and clean-up costs, but also on the inevitably of Agent 47's actions on his own reputation. Much like in previous games, Agent 47 is assigned to travel to exotic locals across the world to kill off especially seedy or evil men. But in between levels, you'll notice the effects at work. Information is passed along in slightly different ways than before, using newspapers to report your actions. For instance, after each level, the notoriety system functions by reporting in the news that 10 people were killed in an unexplained killing spree in a Las Vegas hotel. In reality, you might have killed 10 people, and your agency had to come in, clean up the mess you made, and provide a cover story.

http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/article/695/695168/hitman-blood-money-20060310054212393-000.jpg
Climb to new heights in Blood Money.

You'll see the newspaper format at the end of each level, each "article" being readable and providing information on the last and an upcoming mission. You can read the entire front page, which contains stories on both your transgressions and articles on the people you're after. Thus, the newspaper serves as a kind of secret de-briefer before you get the real mission objectives form the agency. They're not necessary to read, but they fill in little details.

http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/article/695/695168/hitman-blood-money-20060310054232642-000.jpg
"Weee! I'm a fireman!"

A new currency system is tied to the notoriety system, and similar to any true stealth game like Tenchu, Metal Gear, or Thief, you're rewarded by being silent, unseen, and deadly. Your reward money for each level is affected by your blunders, sightings, and found bodies. For example, the agency actually subtracts cash from your contract for each clean-up job it must perform. Luckily, there are more places to put dead bodies than in any Hitman game to date. Instead of just dragging them into corners or empty hotel rooms where people will inevitably find them, you can drag dead bodies into trunks and closets, hiding them completely. Money comes in handy, too. You'll use cash to bribe people for information and to pretend they didn't see you in action, and money also works to upgrade your weapons in between levels (upgrades include new scopes, silences, and more). There are 10-15 weapon upgrades. I handled the standard pistol, and Dragonov sniper rifle, a hammer, a syringe, a kitchen knife, and a remote bomb to do my dirty work.

http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/article/695/695168/hitman-blood-money-20060310054212924-000.jpg
Some people are easily swept off their feet...

Many of the issues we've all worried about in the Hitman series are being addressed. And they're being handled without having to drastically rework the series with major facelifts or by making Hitman something it isn't. IO is very focused on making Blood Money a game of the modern age. Some of the controls might feel aged compared to say, the uncanny fluidity of Prince of Persia, yet, in its own way, IO's game reaches a level of awe it hasn't reached before. The European developer has endeavored to create memorable levels, rich with complex level designs, that match or are better than previous games in the series. Coupled with a profusion of smoother actions and new moves (distraction and disarming moves, for instance), better weapons, and global cash and notoriety systems -- and graphics to promise to be the best yet in the series -- Blood Money will steal your money faster than you can say "Hey, that's a garrote! Acchhhh!"

[LetsHangBendis]

I'm definately enjoying the "Hold Gun Behind Back" Super-stealth maneuver.

[Jamiepoole]

I adore this series (even though the AI was miles better, I thought contracts wasn't as good as the classic Hitman 2, but still excellent). I will adore this series as long as it goes on (or at least until Vin 'no talent' Diesel takes over the role virtually). I can't wait for this one. Any game that lets you kill Santa has gotta give you that warm feeling in the pit of your stomach.

I've been playing this series since the original game came out. The latest ones looking great though. :up:

Lots and lots of great pictures.

Look at the stuff you can do now...

New moves/actions
-Breaking a lock by shooting it
-Climb drain pipes
-Conceal a body
-Conceal your weapon
-Disarming a gunmen
-Dispose bodies
-Headbutt (47 uses his fibre wire on back of neck to pull the head of an enemy towards him and headbutt the enemy)
-Hide in a closet
-Human shield (in various ways)
-Jump walls
-Use keycards (actually slides them into the machine)
-Knife throwing
-Put bombs in your suitcase and detenate from a distance
-Rig bombs to certain objects for "accidents"
-Kill someone in elevator by climbing into the emergency hatch and strangleing an enemy and pulling them into the hatch
-Punching is improved

[Jamiepoole]

I like that you can 'permantly' get rid of bodies by dumping them in furnaces or swamps....really love the idea of making it look like accidents too.

There's also a creepy looking Albino guy who is on 47's trail, probably another hitman paide to kill.


Whereas contracts was an expansion pack, this seems like a true sequel. Can't wait.

BTW am I the only one hoping lack of updated info means the Hitman movie is dead?

[Master Chief]

This game is going to be amazing, and it is going to make me feel like the ultimate badass.

Thanks for the info, Gammy.

Whoa,is there blood on his coat in that one shot? Talk about detail....

[Hudson]

I want to make a mod to this game.. :( Zombie campus mod :)

[블라스]

No problem guys, I'm glad you're all liking the pictures and the info.

I really can't wait to get this, I loved Hitman 2 (never played Contracts though), but this looks like it's going to be better in every single aspect :up:

[The Last Meatbag]

He looks unbelievably bad ass in EVERY ONE of those pictures, these games just keep getting better.

[spideylover89]

I love Hitman Silent Assassin, but Blood Money looks like it is going to be the best of the series. The freedom and options in this one open up a whole new way to experience the game. Kudos to IO :up:

I'm still going to strangle everybody.

For you my old pal, I'll give my thoughts on Contracts.

You didn't miss much, really.

The AI WAS massivly improved (for example, they couldn't see through your disguse instantly like they could in SA, but did notice suspicious behavior) and had one or two genuinely great levels (the final level was an action packed, yet hard, homage to leon with Hitman in an appartment building under siege by the cops, and a corrupt police chief who you have to kill...who also is surrounded by the whole department pretty much). The story was a bit fractured, with the end result being that someone was killing all the agency 47 and Diana work for (not really spoilers because it never tells you who and is sort of the set up for Blood money...my money is on it being the albino guy who might be a result of the same cloning project as 47).

It felt like more of an expansion pack, and the level design wasn't classic like SA. It was decent, but Blood Money looks to be like a TRUE sequel.

[The Trainman]

Anything Leon related is fantastic.

[The Trainman]

I swear, one of the trailers for Hitman: Blood Money has the voice of Keifer Sutherland as the narrator. :up:

[villejo]

This is one game I will definitely buy that is the third in a series I have no real knowledge of. It looks too cool to pass up.

[LetsHangBendis]

This is on 360 too, right?

[블라스]

No Rizo, just last gen (ps2 and xbox)

[LetsHangBendis]

A: RizZo

B: I would hope they planned ahead, and made sure it was backwards compatible for 360. I mean, they must have.

C: Actually, it's probably on PC too. Which means I can d/l it for free. Pwned.

[블라스]

Excellent, RizZo :up:
They'll probably make an even more badass Hitman game for the 360 though.
Eventually...

[LetsHangBendis]

Yeah. But by then he'll look like Vin Diesel. Which will suck.

If it weren't for Diesel the franchise wouldn't sell out. And in Hitman for PS3 47 would be so badass that he just starts strangling people with his undoubtably massive wang.

[Jamiepoole]

Wow.....if that's current gen, we should still have a few great years of it yet.

Also this franchise dies when Diesel takes over. Which will be a sad, sad day for me :(

[Hudson]

I'm soo looking forward to this, Danish game developers make great games for Gammy, Total overdose, Hitman.... Barbie horse adventures.

[LetsHangBendis]

Wow.....if that's current gen, we should still have a few great years of it yet.

Also this franchise dies when Diesel takes over. Which will be a sad, sad day for me :(It's running out of steam anyway. I just hope they wrap up the story entirely in this installment. So Diesel doesn't **** it up TOO bad.

[블라스]

I'm soo looking forward to this, Danish game developers make great games for Gammy, Total overdose, Hitman.... Barbie horse adventures.

Total Overdose kicks ass :(

Hitman Is 360 Bound
Agent 47 greets the next generation with Blood Money.
by Douglass C. Perry

March 30, 2006 - IGN learned today that IO Interactive's special agent 47 will make his debut on Xbox 360 this year in Hitman: Blood Money.

The Xbox 360 game, IGN learned from an independent source close to the English publisher, will be the same in content and in storyline as the current generation versions of Blood Money, but will feature enhanced graphics, lighting and special effects, similar to the way Tomb Raider is on Xbox 360.

IGN believes Hitman: Blood Money will launch simultaneously on all four systems on May 2, 2006. Expect to hear official word from the publisher when Eidos releases its fiscal reports Friday, March 31.

but will feature enhanced graphics, lighting and special effects, similar to the way Tomb Raider is on Xbox 360.
This game has such potential to look amazing on the 360, but it will probably come out looking like... I don't know... some PC port that's not as pretty as Oblivion.

[블라스]

:( :down

[WhatsHisFace]

If it looks like Quake 4, I'll be sad. I think it could look almost as good as early GoW shots if the team tries hard.

I've got this friend who's a Hitman disciple. I'd have to be stranded on a desert island to not play it.

And even if I was, he'd somehow find me just to have me play it. :D

I love Hitman games. I only got 2 though, as the first one was god-awful, with 47 looking like a penis (from the demo at least) and Contracts was six levels.

[블라스]

I like your friend already :(

Hitman 2 was just GREAT, but yeah, Contracts felt like an expansion pack :down
Never played 1, though.

[spideylover89]

I'm hoping the stealth options have been improved vastly for this one. Something always seemed to go wrong when I was trying to actually be stealthy in the original Hitman games. I know this one has a lot of new features that will change that, so hopefully it's enough. I really hate playing Hitman like a normal shooter where you bust in guns blazing, it takes away from the experience.

[Jamiepoole]

Play Contracts then Gam? It wasn't so great but wasn't the last level fantastic?

[블라스]

Never got that far :O

[Jamiepoole]

Never got that far :O

Really should....I promise you that is one level that's worth waiting for. You will feel awesome when you figure out how to beat it and get silent assassin or one of the better rankings.

[ProjectPat2280]

I think Vin will do fine as Agent 47. I wish they wouldve just used his likeness in the game. This game does look incredibly kick ass tho. I highly doubt those screens are from the current gen, or if they are, they are polished, they look way to good to be regular Xbox, maybe they are screen from the 360?? Actually, i dont care what system they are from, i cant wait for this game!!!

Hitman Is 360 Bound
Agent 47 greets the next generation with Blood Money.
by Douglass C. Perry

March 30, 2006 - IGN learned today that IO Interactive's special agent 47 will make his debut on Xbox 360 this year in Hitman: Blood Money.

The Xbox 360 game, IGN learned from an independent source close to the English publisher, will be the same in content and in storyline as the current generation versions of Blood Money, but will feature enhanced graphics, lighting and special effects, similar to the way Tomb Raider is on Xbox 360.

IGN believes Hitman: Blood Money will launch simultaneously on all four systems on May 2, 2006. Expect to hear official word from the publisher when Eidos releases its fiscal reports Friday, March 31.


Thank god :up:

[GoldenAgeHero]

what system will this be available for?

[James"007"Bond]

is it easy to play on pc, using the keyboard?

[kainedamo]

I've heard that it's best to play on a console.

I got it for PS2. I'm in love with it. I was in love with Hitman 2, but this one is alot better. The improved AI alone. I mean, it was so frustrating that people could see right through your disguise straight away in part 2. But now, they only catch on if you act suspicious or are in a place you shouldn't be. Even then, they don't start shooting you straight away. They're all like, "hey! you shouldn't be here!". The Mardi Gras level kicks ass. I've gotten to the boat level. I've figured out how to get Silent Assassin for every level but one. It feels so good to get Silent Assassin.

I'm very impressed by the amount of NPC characters walking around in the Mardi Gras level. As far as I can see, they all walk around with their own routes, they just don't appear out of thin air. I don't think I've seen that many NPCs in a game before. Too bad the Matrix Path Of Neo game couldn't have done something like that for the Burly Brawl level.

The new features are excellent. Very easy to disarm someone, then shoot whoever else is in the room. I like the coin throwing thing too. The only thing is, since I love trying to hit the Silent Assassin ranking, I have no use for alot of the features. Though I can always go back to a level and just play around. There's this one level were you can rig a barbeque with hilarious results. In the "Santa" level, I felt so badass when I pushed both targets off ledges.

If you like the Hitman series, get this game. If you've never played Hitman, get this game.

[kainedamo]

Can I ask you guys a question? Does 47 ever scare the crap out of you?

I mean, when you're following someone around, just a few paces behind them, watching their route and waiting for the right moment to strike. When you can get in and out, killing a target and no one ever knowing you were there. When you're knocking out clowns and stealing their outfits. When I do stuff like that, following someone a few paces behind them, I get creeped out.

I dunno. I was never big on Stealth games. :(

But,the demo was intriguing.....

Man, in the demo when it tells you how to take people as human shields, I took the guys machine gun. I walked into the other room, one four round sweep burst and all three guys playing at the table went down, it was f**king awesome. :D

I did that last night before going to bed, it felt pretty cool.

I think you've got it wrong, this time. Who cares if it's an Xbox port? It's still a pretty sweet title. I know you love it. :thing:

[Horrorfan]

This game is awesome.

It isn't QUITE as open as the excellent second game, but the enviroments are beautiful, and still quite a variety of ways to do things...not enough oppotunities to use the sniper rifle for my liking but still....there is NOTHING more satisfying than the perfect hit.

Also you get an after action review in the form of a newspaper from the area you have been in...these all come with different stories, as well as the main story (being your mission, and varied descriptions depending on how you acted). For example, if you choose to bribe witness afterwards, they give the police false descriptions, sometimes leading to various humours gems such as 'The suspect is very 'pretty' looking and well dressed.....police are searching all gay bars in the area.'

Fantastic.

I'm heading to what I assume is the final level now...is this the end of 47? That's where it seems to be heading :(

They haven't quite yet- but there is no shame in that, as Hitman 2 is an all time classic. In some ways though Blood Money is a lot better- better ai, better weapos and cusomisation, better storyline and some cracking levels- however, none quite as open as Hitman 2.

Gammy- it's not half ass at all, I promise. In many ways, it is alot better than Hitman 2- but the ways of doing things are more limited. Believe me, it's still an amazing game- but like I say, after Hitman 2 defined the genre, it's hard to get better than a genre defining game ya know?

[블라스]

Yeah, I guess :(
But still...

[Horrorfan]

Look at Halo 2 gams- many ways, better than the first, and a damn fine game. But because the first was so innovative, it got the dreaded 'half assed sequel' label.

Hitman is alive and well, and still doing his job... What's so confusing?

[Geo7877]

I need a major walkthrough for the New Orleans level!


Follow the red Crow that you see when it starts till he gets into an alley with a dumpster. Take him out, take his suit, throw him in the dumpster and take his briefcase. Bring it to the building in the upper left corner, which has a red blip on the second floor of the map. Go to the room with the blip to find the main target. Put the briefcase on his desk, wait for the right moment, kill him and put him in the box in the room. Take his walkie talkie, throw the diamond case off the balcony, then go down and get it.
Since you got his walkie talkie, you will see the other two targets on the map. The girl walks around between alleys and streets, wait till she's in one with an empty dumpster, kill her and put her in. Then find a way to kill the third target, in whatever building he's in. He's always in an upper level, alone. So just sneak into the building (or get a waiters outfit) and take him out.. In order to get SA you'll have to drop the third target from the balcony so it looks like an accident.

[Master Chief]

When I kill the briefcase carrier I stash him in the first building to the right of where he enters. I open the door, take a left, open the door to the right of the end of the little hallway after passing the stairs, then take the suit and briefcase. I wait for the girl, she comes in, I poison syringe her and stash her in the same room. Also, to get a waiters outfit, if you go in the alley behind the rock bar you can sedate a waiter who comes to throw out trash, then dump his body in the garbage. There's a drunk who wanders in and out, but when he's walking away you can sedate the waiter no problem.

You can also get SA if you leave the diamonds in the second guy's office, which his bodyguard will bring down to the first floor. You can then poison syringe or strangle the guy and stash him in the freezer if you're fast enough, then go down and retrieve the case.

[Horrorfan]

Hitman is alive and well, and still doing his job... What's so confusing?

>>>No....he was alive, but I didn't know he was on a job...I just thought he had gone to China to lay low......and I am not sure if Diana knew or not.<<<<

Diane killed him. Probably with the same stuff you use in the Flatline mission, then revived him. He slaughtered everyone to keep his identity a secret.

Hitman was telling the chinese man of the 'interesting things' her hears get done in this place. I'm asuming he was just toying with some sick chinese man who runs a murder shop or something.

I just beat the game and I am at the credits where it's 47's funeral. I have heard that you can get up and kill everyone, but I can't. I feel my "heartbeat" but I've hit every button, and can't get up. Can you really get up and kill everyone, or is it just a rumor? And if so, then how do you do it?

WHEN YOU SAY "DISARM HER", DO YOU MEAN TAKE HER HEDGE TRIMMERS.......OR CUT OFF HER ARM? :confused: :(

[Master Chief]

Take the trimmers. :o I wish you could cut off their limbs though, that'd be so much cooler. :(

[THWIP*]

YEAH......MUTILATION IS COOL. :o:up:

[Mentok]

So is this game worth it on the 360?

[Master Chief]

F****k yeah man. I got a fully upgraded M4. In one level I sneak under the parking lot security guard booth window. He comes out. He sees me and he's like, "I've seen your picture somewhere!" Then runs back in to look at some bulletin board. Because my notoriety is like, 61. So badass like I walk in with my silenced SLP.40 and take both of them out with double taps to the chest.

I take one of the cop uniforms, then shoot a cop in the stairs going up from the garage to the lobby of some place. I shoot the clerk security cop at the front desk. I strangle another cop in the garage and a sick party guest, then I jog to where my M4 is. I zoom in with my scope at the four people guarding two elevators, one burst and they're all down. Another cop comes to check, I run up and strangle him. lol :up:

NOT AT $60.......IT SHOULD'VE BEEN A $40 TITLE, SINCE IT'S A DIRECT PORT OF THE 'XBOX' VERSION. :down

[ProjectPat2280]

NOT AT $60.......IT SHOULD'VE BEEN A $40 TITLE, SINCE IT'S A DIRECT PORT OF THE 'XBOX' VERSION. :down

Eh, i disagree, i think its worth every penny.

[Horrorfan]

I agree with Thwip- if a game is a port of a ps2/xbox game, no way I would pay like 20 bucks more for the same game. I was thinking about it for Hitman and X3 (ok I am a bit of a gamerscore whore) but decided against it, since ports usually really suck on 360 (so I have heard, and can believe).. It's like paying next gen prices for last gen games imo.

[THWIP*]

Eh, i disagree, i think its worth every penny.


WELL, YOU'RE JUST NOT VERY BRIGHT THEN. :(

[Iron Man™]

I need help badly. :(

For those who've beaten the "Till Death Do Us Part" level, can you give me a run through of how you beat it?


PS. This game kicks ass. :cool::o

[Master Chief]

I rented it twice, twenty bucks. Finally bought it for fourty. What a friggin' deal. But with the rentals + retail I could have bought it full price.

Anyway, for the "Till Death Do Us Part" level, for Silent Assassin ranking I did the following:

Follow the pathway straight ahead from where you start, then take a right and you'll see this dancing area far away and a drunk wanderer. Wait until the drunk walks into the cabin looking thing and falls asleep, then take his clothes and party pass and six shooter if you want, enter the house from the front doors. Run around or wait until the main place (with the stairs) is cleared out, or at least until the Staff Only door to the left of the stairs is clear and the patrolling guard isn't near the door.

When it's clear, pick the lock, and take your immediate left into the bedroom. Wait until the gangster guard patrols, then when he's on his way back after coming towards the room, run up and sedate him. Drag him into the bedroom and take his clothes. Wait until the second guy, the skinny one, walks into the main place with the stairs, then poison syringe him. Drag him into the same bedroom you left the guard. Wait until the fat guy does the same, and drag him into the bedroom too. Close the doors, walk out, retrieve your suit and escape.

[Iron Man™]

Awesomeness, thanks a bunch MC. But another question though, how did you kill "the Groom?" He's one of the targets of the mission, that you has to assassinate.

[Master Chief]

Yeah, the groom walks into the main entrance stairs area eventually. Either going to or leaving a reception looking place at the end of the hall through double doors.

If you don't want SA though, just upgrade your silverballer with a silencer, and the magnum ammo. Do everything up to the time you get the guard clothes, then go to where the fat guy is fishing or something (throwing things into the water with a bucket) and shoot him in the back when the person guarding him is walking away. Swiftly run away free of suspicion and track down the groom, shoot him, then sprint for the exit hoping everyone misses their shots if he's in the open.

Now, theres a much funner way to do it :o

Once you get into the staff only door and take the guards outfit, go through the door behind the stairs, then go outside. Make your way to the family graveyard, and wait in the brush by the open grave. Eventually the father will come walking over with a bucket of chicken. Wait until he is standing infront of the grave, make sure the coast is clear, and push him in.

Then go back to the house and poison the wedding cake, the groom takes a lick every so often.

Once the groom is dead, get back to the beggining and leave.

I have yet to see what I can do if I kill the priest and take his clothes.. Maybe I can marry them. :up:

What's the stealthiest way you've beaten A House of Cards, to acquire the Slient Assassin tag?

[Geo7877]

What's the stealthiest way you've beaten A House of Cards, to aquire the Slient Assassin tag?

Bring a sniper rifle

Get your room key
Hide in the left elevator, on the top of it. Kill the scientist (i believe) by strangling him and dragging him onto the roof of the elevator
Take his room key
Hide in the right elevator, kill the other guy the same way
Take his room key
Now take your sniper rifle to your room, unload it, and leave it there ready to fire
Go to the 8th floor, set off the fire alarm, and go into the room of the scientist you killed. Find the phone to call your third target.
Click to call, then immediatly hurry your way back to the 7th floor, and into your room.
Take the sniper rifle to the balcony of your room, and look down toward the right. There is a small rectangle-like alley, which the third target will go into
When he is in your sights, take him out.
Now, you can either leave with your sniper rifle, or the diamond briefcase to get some extra money. :up:

Is this Game a Sequel or stand alone Game :confused: Might pick it up eventually

Dude, you're awesome. Make note of it. I'm going to go beat it right now. Thanks a mill. :)

[Geo7877]

The timeing of calling him, and making it downstairs to kill him can be tricky, But just lather-rinse-repeat if you miss him.

[The Last Meatbag]

I just beat it, Ill give you a walkthrough.

Go into the hotel and check in, get your card then go into the right elevator, wait fo rthe doors to shut and climb up into the elevator hatch and wait for the white surpremasist scientist to use the elevator you're in, once the elevator starts moving take your fibre wire out and strangle him, take his clothes, keycard, and jump down from the top once the doors are closed. I think the guy (who you just killed)'s room in the back left corner so go there, open the door, and get his briefcase and move back down to the lobby. Once you're in the lobby move into the casino and go through the first door you see on the right at the entrance, go straight through the double doors ahead of you into the bar and move to the back of the bar until you see two guards, they will check you for weapons and then you can proceed. Take a left and then a right and you'll see the shiek. You have to hang out with him for a while, because one of the guards will come, take your suitcase (the one with DNA in it) and go and get it checked to make sure everythings there. Then the Payment briefcase will be brought to you. You should still hang out with the shiek until his phone rings and he walks away to answer the call. Follow him with the payment briefcase until he stops outside and talks on his phone. You can take him out there and just leave his body wherever. Go back thorugh the Casino with the payment Briefcase and go to the elevators again. Take them up to the seventh floor and take a left out of the elevator, keep going straight around the corner and follow the path until you reach a wall with two doors leading to a balcony, theres a guy smoking there, but he just ignores you. Climb the trelis thats inbetween the two doors until you get to a ledge, shimmy to the left on the ledge until you get to a window and climb in (look out, theres a guard who patrols here). Go right and walk around the corner until you get to a staff room, check on the map to see when the staff member isnt facing the door, move in, sedate him, and take his master key card and suit and stuff him in the nearby container. Leave through the door that you came in, and walk straight through the walkway ahead of you, take a left and follow that hallway until you reach a door with a emergency alarm next to it. Pull the alarm and go through the door. Wait in the door until you see that the hallway ahead of you is completely clear, move out into that hallway take a left and follow that hallway to your next targets room, open the doot and go into the bathroom on your left. Wait in there an watch your target on the map wait for the target and his guards to go into the room, and watch him leave his guard and go into his room. He'll walk in and face the window move in while hes facing the window and take him out. Go back through the bathroom again and sedate the guard in that room and take his suit. Walk out of the room and go back to the lift. Climb the hatch, get your payment briefcase, put your suit back on, jump down and walk back out into the lobby, now move into the casino and take a left from the entrance. You should see some double doors with a red exit sign above them, go through that door and the next one and you'll see a limo, thats your escape car.

Haha well that's half the fun of Hitman. A bunch of different ways to win.

:up:

[SpiderHulkThing]

i'm on the mission where you have to kill a dude and two lovers in bird outfits. i haven't had time to figure it out yet, but so far the game is great. how many other levels are there?

I like to play the mission with the garbage trucks the most. That and the opera one.

[Master Chief]

Dance with the Devil is my favorite mission in the whole game. :up:

[The Last Meatbag]

It is awesome, some millionaire should seriously throw a party like that.

[Master Chief]

I can clean out the parking lot a million times because it just never gets old. And when you have to kill the chick in the basement, she wasn't where she usually was, so I improvised like a total badass. :up: I ran out onto the balcony, looked for someone walking amongst all the dancers below, and blam, two shots one mark down. Then I ditched back up to the parking lot. lol.

[The Last Meatbag]

I kill her boyfriend in the bathroom and steal his clothes, then go downstairs to meet up with her and she brings me to her bedroom then before she can take of my mask I head butt her, knock her out, then poison her :o

Bah, it's all about rigging the pyrotechnics so she engulfs in flames, then falls into the shark pit :up:

[Hitman]

Last Meatbag, I'm playing the level with the way you gave me. And right now I have the case of DNA and I'm with the Shiek, who told me they were going to check it out. The guy who has to check it hasn't come yet, how long did you have to wait?

Also guys, which is better when you first turn on the game for the graphics? The first option or the second one?

[Lone Wolf]

You've either killed the first scientist, holding the payment briefcase when your weren't supposed to while he goes through the left elevator of the lobby. His guard is the one who'll give you the case.

Or your game has a malfunction. Though the first one seems more likely.

[Hitman]

My games fine, and I just beat the level with a Hitman rating. So yeah, turns out you were right about not killing the scientist. Thanks Batman. :)

[Danger Mouse]

Hi. I've just started on this game. I have a technical issue to ask. How is it that I can't load a saved game after I quit a game?

I was in the middle of Vintage Year when I thought of hitting the sack. So, I saved the game. Later, when I wanted to load it, my savegame was missing. I was told to Load Profile, then Start the game. It then asked me which mission I want to start (a choice between Death of a Showman, Hideout and Vintage Year). And when I click on Vintage Year, it restarted the mission.

I simply cannot find the savegame I previously saved.

Am I missing something?

No, you're not, that's how the programmers wanted it.

I don't really see why it's a big deal, the missions don't take thaat long to complete.

[Indiglo]

Danger Mouse, the in-game save is only there while you're... in-game. It's a quick save, so if you f**k somthing up, you can just go back to that point, once you leave a mission it goes away.

I think it'd be kind of homo being able to start back up the next day mid mission, you know?

They meant for you to play it like 47 lives it, you turn it on, get your intel, complete your mission, turn it off.

Sorry THWIP, guess their target audience wasn't senior citizens :O

[블라스]

Burn.

[Master Chief]

Yeah, it's a problem because if you have a save and the powers goes out having to restart is total bulls**t, but really, each job in the game is pretty short so the whole quicksave being permanent isn't necessary.
