HITMAN 3 Media Coverage

Put spoiler tags on !!!

I guess they did not want to spend time making extra cut versions of the game for a two weeks period.

Then why bother picking selected players for giving beta, when they just could make it very public

Alright so I decided to do some research on Argentina and Romania. Be aware they most devolve into rants on the somewhat knee jerk and reactionary stance I have on the levels for now. I am always open to changing my mind on seeing me being proven wrong when more evidence comes to light or until I play them myself

So I have no clue if it is the the actual city of Mendoza or if it is the broader region. I have seen the city and it isn’t really impressive so I am going to talk about the actual broader Province of Mendoza. Simply put Mendoza has a history of Mapuche (it boarders Chile) Puelche culture so you might have guess it is in the Andes. Nothing of any great import happened here.

There is really only two things the place is known for: adventure tourists wanting to go to the Andes for winter sports or climbing and for being on Argentina’s oenological trail. Argentina mostly made wine for volume until the 90s where they wanted to compete with Chile’s oenological tourism. So speaking of competing with Chile I am betting this will be a remix of A Vintage Year. Honestly it is such a waste of a beautiful unique nation for another nostalgia level. But the actual place looks pretty so there is that.

And now Romania. Bleh! Bleh! I vant to critek your lazy vriting! BleH!

The Carpathians are a mountain range, the third longest in Europe after the Urals and Scandinavian Mountain ranges. They cover most of Eastern Europe and were know for a gruelling WWI campaign…

I am not overly fond this “It begins where it ends” it feels super gamey and not all that inspired, I half want to not tag this because it is so predictable. I also don’t see how much you can do with an abandoned asylum (electrified floor and confronting the target directly come to mind and one is already done in the first level) unless the Romanian government rebuilt it sometime after they escaped which doesn’t seem likely.

47 will probably set the asylum on fire and walk away with the final shot showing the burning asylum and then fade to black and title roll “Hitman: World of Assassination”, start credits.

Also shortly before that we see Grey KO’d inside the asylum and he may or may not burn or escape

Because it seems to be no beta but the final game. The purpose was not to track bugs (point of betas) but to get publicity.

Mendoza’s Airport maybe ?

Travis, I’m so pumped for the last location, best news since the beginning. I can’t handle that :sob:

All righty. That ending already fills me with joy because now it seems we have another map to use all of our winter themed clothing and make it fitting for the ambience!

Excited for Argentina, though disappointed it’s not Buenos Aires :wink:

And keen to see how they close out this trilogy in Romania, how much they do in the way of fan service…

So the publicity lead to the final levels being leaked… huh.

So not only will you know everything about the guns in the game, but also its last location? Awesome! :smiley:

I’d hope so, so, so much that this is the case with the Andes. If that happens, whoever predicted/wished a ski resort as a map before Hitman 2 came out back then will have the joy of their life in that location. :smiley:

So my guess is that in the last level you’re not only exploring the asylum (if it really is the asylum or another location in the Carpathian region) but also the forest area around it and you’ll be sneaking about past guards in the middle of the night, just as it was teased in the teaser trailer.

The question is who is the target for Romania?

This video actually knocks “The Vulture” out and they talk about how mission stories might be restricted to this preview build. If there is only three I’ll be fine with it IF there’s tons of hidden mission stories that aren’t mission stories. I think my favourite levels like Miami have hidden stories like the eye drops, whereas my least favourites like Maldives don’t have much of that (unless the server room is hidden I forgot)

Night vision goggles and target lasers for 47 please

I think the forest is Berlin. The Constant will be the target there and then Romania will be Grey.

Honestly, I feel it makes a lot of sense that the trilogy is going to end in Romania. I just hope it’s will be an interesting map and is just empty buildings full of armed guards/thugs. I also wonder if there are going to be some references to Ort-Meyer.
As for Argentinian, the last game mentioned the Moreno (?) cartel, a rival of the Delgados and a Providence asset. Maybe they will play a role in the level?
It also makes me wonder if we’re going to kill any member of the Po Dynasty at all. China would make the most sense location wise but why would the leader(s) of a nation be inside an apartment complex or a warehouse? They wouldn’t do any shady deals themselves, that what they have the Heavenly Guard for.
