Not too thrilled about this roadmap. Present bomb and ice baller look fun at glance but are still reskins at last. Shashka too but that one’s extremely mid. Atleast the former two tried something cool.
Rest of the map is more of the same. I will be traditionally replaying Holiday Hoarders for one or two days, then dip for another month. All elusives are more of the same. Not my cup of tea anymore.
To end this post on a positive note, I would like to congratulate @Urben and @Frote7 speedrun community on doing the honors of a second FC curated batch. That’ll promise another two great bunch of contracts. Cheers
Seems the gift explodes with a flame effect… I used it on Cassidy in WC by putting it in his mailbox. When he took it inside to set it next to the recorder I detonated it. Upon finishing the mission I noticed I got a non-target kill. So apparently the gift gives an accident explosion kill.
Edit: I didn’t have a ‘Body Found’ deduction, so that makes me think ^this.
The Explosive Xmas Gift is not really a reskin. It has the power of the demo block/semtex, and is remote. But it’s also legal to carry, legal to place, legal to drop, and more importantly NPCs don’t react to it, and leave it be. It’s still illegal to throw though.
It’s basically an ICA Micro Remote Explosive with the power of a Demo block.
Well placed, I think it could be genuinely useful.
Is it not a reskin of a rubber duck, which is (I assume) more powerful than the micro remote but not as powerful as the demo block? The rubber duck is also legal to carry, place and drop.
It seems to me that IOI wouldn’t want to create a covert Demo block, which would just ruin the point of having a standard Demo block.
I’m actually upset that they didn’t even mention anything about the Trinity Pack as I never got to pre-order H3 at all and it’s pretty irritating imo on how they didn’t even do so yet despite that it will give them some easy money, like just make it purchasable for like 5 or 10 bucks
Not unless they were willing to pay through the nose to redo the original contract and allow them to release it again in Hitman 3, and that’s just for keeping it exclusive to PS.
Is it not possible to port all the previous escalations released from Hitman2016 especially Paris and Sapienza? Is it because of: a) the code has been rewritten so that the previous escalations need too much work before releasing? b) they were made while IOI were part of Square Enix and can’t use the content? c) they haven’t considered it?
Really? I don’t remember that. It has been awhile ago… Well any new content is better than not having new content, and Paris and Sapienza are my favorite maps.
I noticed that in the roadmap video and it made me wonder whether they actually re-added the effect to other explosives as well? (which they absolutely positively should do if not)
Everyone keeps saying that, but how can you tell with those cosmetic changes? It may only look like the Bartoli because of the boxy look to it, but the longer barrel of the ICA19 could be under that rectangular ice cube of a suppressor. Until we can see it from a proper angle, I don’t know how anyone can be sure.
up like a duck doesn’t seem quite right. But that’s just my opinion.
