Elusive Target Arcade

I think you mean ET’s, and not FC’s. :grinning:

I hope that the Hitman 2 ETs get reactivated sooner than 5+ months from now, which is how long it’ll take if they alternate a Hitman 3 ET and a Hitman 1 ET for all 6 Hitman 1 locations like they did last year.

I meant ETs yeah. Not FCs. But i wouldnt mind if the suits would be unlockable through a certain FC tho.

High power isn’t quiet, IRL - so why would you put it in the game?

No gun is quiet IRL though.

It has now been a month since the release of ET Arcade.
I’m pretty surprised there hasn’t been a new Arcade drop (or announcement) yet.

(I still have a feeling we’ll get some sort of update on what’s upcoming in terms of updates/featured contracts/arcade drops in early-mid March.)

Hopefully, IOI is completely overhauling how ETA fundamentally works or is about to give it the Ghost Mode treatment. It’s wasting space on my disk drive as of now.

Doubt it. I have a feeling that the best case scenario is that the complications become optional, or they use less restrictive ones. I really don’t see a massive overhaul coming.

I don’t see freely playable ETs while they’re actively running ETs again. Though I personally don’t think they’ll happen at all.

Best case scenario I can think of are single level ET Arcades (like The Lust Assignation) for each ET in what would be around “Year 3”.

Finally managed to get these completed yesterday!

Not sure what everyone’s thoughts are on Elusive Target Arcade, but I personally think it’s a really cool idea.

It’s really not. All the things it uses were already in the game files (the ets, the complications, etc), and the things that aren’t (the mission files) are just text files that are fetched online.

It’s a waste of space on my drive because I see it as the worst parts of ETs and escalations haphazardly cobbled together, and have no intentions of playing it (“add progress toward suit unlocks at minimum or GTFO” is about how I see it). So, any non-zero amount of my storage space it occupies, as of now, is wasteful.

Well, it’s part of the game now, so if you think it’s wasteful, then the game is too. Feel free to not play it I’d you don’t like Arcade mode, and if he space you believe it’s taking up is such an issue, uninstall the game.

You all are taking the tongue-in-cheek “waste of space” comment way too seriously. It was a call-to-action, more than anything, for IOI to hopefully address at least some of players’ grievances with ETA so that it won’t be a “waste of space” anymore.

Sniper Assassin is a waste of space. No leaderboard. No multiplayer. Dead Mode.

If you’re still around, I was wondering - maybe they could be made more accessible? Not in case of Fixer, whose gimmick would be probably heavily damaged if tempered with, but Ex-Dictator or Sensation had issues with very small amount of opportunities for players to eliminate them. Were you thinking you could possibly change their route to enable more ways to eliminate them, without changing their surroundings (f.e., Sensation drank from their Vodka glass only once, so perhaps he would drink multiple times afterwards, or if Ex-Dicator could drink wine during his routine)? Some changes have been made to previous ET’s in order to eliminate them easier (Iconoclast had her issue with Malbec glass fixed). Just a thought, tho.

Oh god, I just remembered ‘The Sensation’ and how he only drinks once immediately and then the rest of the time he’s surrounded in a crowd. Back then, he was a nightmare.

I don’t really expect any gameplay changes though. Since these ETs came out, we now have a lot of emetic/flash/ distraction methods that weren’t possible when they were first designed… so it’s kind of balanced.

I would prefer all ETs ever relased on the arcade, even thought they’re not very good, rather than just let that content rot and be forgotten. It’s still content they made and put effort into, so it would be nice to have it for people such as myself that didn’t got to play it. I don’t care if they suck, but at least give me the chance to draw that conclusion myself lol.

I disagree - IMO, you should be able to do ET with SA ranting with minimal new unlockables. There should be some opportunities for you to eliminate him/her with starting loadout, maybe changing Fiber Wire for Lockpick or Lethal Poison, but still.

Sure, you can achieve it with a minimal load out, but that would take things like luring with coins… I’d prefer to take this person on with items the developers didn’t think of in 2016.
