Wow, upon closer inspection in seems Agent 47 even has the “ugly head” in the Sniper Assassin game mode, most noticeably in Himmelstein and Hantu Port. This is amateurish work from IOI, no excuses. C’mon, man.
It’s not as in-your-face in Sniper Assassin, but it’s clearly the bugged “ugly head”. Here’s a 1:1 comparison of the active head model in the Sniper Assassin game mode and the correct HITMAN 3 head model. Go back-and-forth between the following two screenshots in full view to observe the head deformation if you think I’m crazy (you’d be absolutely correct; I am crazy, and realize that I care way too much about this, but that’s beside the point…).
Again, I understand the sentiment of this being relatively minor, but IOI lied nonetheless. They said they had fixed this; granted they did specify for suits in particular, even that’s not true, as 47’s head is still bugged in the Raven Suit and in Sniper Assassin default suits. They fixed the Absolution Suit’s “ugly head” issue in mainline maps but not the same issue present with the (tie) clipless Absolution Suit in Himmelstein and Hantu Port… I figured IOI was of a higher caliber than this. My mistake.
