I looks like what Hitman would have looked like if they stayed with the more cartoonish style of Silent Assassin and Contracts.

With Codename 47 being the most cartoonish of all

I never really thought of C47 as being cartoonish. I don’t see it as such. It’s one of those older games where the style is harder to pin point due to the limitations of the era. Where with the ps2 it was much easier to play around with visual styles.

what makes you say that hitman 2 and contracts had a cartoonish style. to me it just looks like attempted realism with the hardware they had at the time. There isnt really a stylistic choice that makes me say cartoony.

Other games from that era, like Mafia. Had a more realistic style. Both SA and Contracts are more cartoony and absurd in their expression and overall world building. This is also noticeable in the art work from the two games.
The artwork for sa & contracts doesn’t look cartoony to me. The proportions match the in game models yea, but from what it looks like they were trying to be realistic.

While I could be mistaken, keep in mind that for most of its existence, IOI has had fewer resources to work with than other game studios, and so probably either did not have the means to make the game more realistic, did not have the money to refine it further, or did not have the time. I’m sure if they could have committed as fully as they had wanted to, we’d have had more “realistic” features in the earlier games.

I’m not criticising the style. In honesty I prefer this visual style compared to the more naturalistic style that later games adopted. I’m pointing out that with the filter dustwolf used it was reminiscent of earlier games in the series.

always thought they were going for a graphic novel type of art style with the earlier games. not quite cartoony nor realistic, but a nice in-between
