Its better to add the option to choose between a buttoned or unbuttoned version before starting the mission. Would save us a lot of inventory space.

Exactly. It was never intended to actually be 47 in the first place.

What it was intended as in its original usage of the escalation, and what it is now that itās playable everywhere, are two different things.

Shouldnāt count as a leak now that itās been revealed to the public, but yeah as you can see itās quite different 
Changing it to the original and it instantly feels better to look at

ā¦right, but youāve only shown us the OG head vs the H3-ified head out-of-game, and then only the C47 head in-game. It doesnāt exactly make for a fair comparison as nobody has any context for the H3-fied head as of right now, so the C47 is going to ālook betterā no matter what.
Again, this is why I was being cautious, as conversations like this could technically qualify for the leaks thread as the content is still unreleased.

I meanā¦ you can see it on the roadmap and 47Agentās image gives you enough to compare as well
There is seemingly no technical reasons for this change so itās purely aesthetic except it looks off and they should just use the original model if they wanna be truly into the C47 theme

You know full well thatās not the same thing. In-game screenshots with more lighting and in-context versus ones made for marketing with static lighting are not comparable. This is as biased as it gets when it comes to comparisons.
That we know of. Iāll be fair, iām not sure sure what technical reasons could stop IOI from using the OG head either, but Iām not IOI.
It still looks fine, from what little Iāve seen of it.
I say using a 2000 model outfit in a 2021 game is ridiculous no matter which face theyāre using.

Having seen in-game screenshot of both, the original one made by @Luiluix is preferable to me.
(itās also telling me that if needed the model change is feasible, so I hope)
Iām also out of this topic, because some of you are giving me headaches for the way you talk and approach it. And I donāt like it.

Iāve yet to see one, let-alone two, screenshots of this on the same map in the same context as shown here, so I canāt really make up my mind yet.
You can apply that exact argument to all of these suits. Who cares whether the original Codename 47 head looks exactly like this new version? Itās a different game in a different engine. These new suits are homages to the originals. If you donāt care whether the original intent of a suit matter anymore, why should it matter now if the new version is different from the original?

See, now youāre just trying to dismiss the reasoning for why theyāre releasing it. Thatās cool.
Look, I am the last person to like Nostalgia Pandering, but at the very least this suit is being released on the anniversary of the series; something which seems very reasonable to do, and something other games have done in the past.

Actually, I simply forgot that was the reason. And thatās an acceptable reason at least, even if the result is rather silly.
And you misunderstand, @schatenjager; I donāt care about the head looking like the original or not. I get why itās different. I just think releasing that look, intentionally made to look like poorer graphics, into a game with modern graphics, is gonna cause it to look silly regardless if itās this new version or the original. Iāll still use it at least once like I do with all suits, but I canāt see myself using it otherwise because itās just too jarring with everything else around it. Didnāt understand why anyone one would be so eager, but like I said, I forgot that itās an intentional joke unlock meant to celebrate a milestone.

I think I was responding to everyone on this topic and not you specifically, but fair enough.
Itās interesting that you use each suit at least once. I have not used at least half of the suits that I have unlocked (nothing to do with ties or gloves or any of that). I just have two or three default suits and pretty much never use anything but those regardless of which map it is, unless the map is forcing me to use a particular outfit.

Yeah, I get a new suit, I have to use it on at least one mission, either in the main game or contracts, and now freelancer.

Do you have the same compulsion with items and weapons?
Not really. Thereās several items that Iāve never used and see no use for, like the feather duster, the trip wire, certain submachine guns and assault rifles, things like that.

So, I just realized that November 3.710 update, which was promoted in Year Roadmap, was moved to October, which means we will be getting Holiday Hoarders and Snow Festival contract mode. Do you think we will get another update in November?

I personally doubt it, given how IO hasnāt done monthly patches since the first half of Year 1. However, I donāt think this is the end of live support for Hitman and think there will be more stuff in Year 4.

At this point, Iām suspecting that IO will keep support for the game going up until the release of, or maybe a year or so before the release of, the next Hitman game.
