I just had a look at the Overachievers, it reads like a really bad fanfic :sweat_smile:

This looks like straight out of Ninja Gaiden, if I’m honest. Hast that demon/fiend apocalypse vibe.

Don’t judge me but I used to screenshot the HITMAN sky boxes so much. Like I had thousands of screenshots.

Bangkok was that weird red/black in early HITMAN 2. It was patched out at the same time as Landslide’s green and ugly World Of Tomorrow.

I know all the ins and outs of the sky box changes like how during one of the old pre-GOTY ETs that was repeated after GOTY, the sky became a unique combination of pre-GOTY and GOTY sky for Paris. It was probably just a weird bug.

First is GOTY sky and second was that ET sky.

Here are some early HITMAN 2 memories. Enjoy these initially ugly environments.

I would like to see it in another mission, just wish the colours weren’t so muted. But the idea is solid.

Reminds me a lot of one particular mission in Contracts.

Just another example of good worldbuilding from IOI.

Apparently, the targets from Berlin are mentioned by Mark Faba during one of his calls.

To tie two posts together, this is actually a call back to the Overachievers

This is the excerpt from that

And Faba’s exact quote is

Davenport likes poison and Swan is an archer

Wish this had be implemented more in Berlin :man_shrugging: but at least I can add to my list of reasons why Mark Faba is the best target ever

Can someone please fill me in on what this is? Some novelization? Lore stuff? I’m in the dark here.

It’s a little story set in the hitman universe by Michael Vogt. It’s pretty short but I wouldn’t recommend reading it tbh

A few neat things about the final level.

  • A crate in the lab storage near the start has an Imperial Filigree Egg inside. Strange thing to have on a makeshift lab train. The other crate has a Fuse Cell.
  • There’s multiple ways to kill the Constant either through Melee or Ranged.
    In the room before the Constant’s office you can find a Fire Axe.
    In the walk-in closet in the Constant’s you can also find the Fibre Wire and the ICA19 Black Lily (meaning this is the one and only opportunity non-Hitman 2 pre-order buyers will ever be able to wield the gun.)
    On that note, it’s too bad the level doesn’t have a “Fibre Wire kill” challenge. It’s 47’s iconic thing!

You get the Black Lily from buying the expansion pass as well.

Oh really? That’s nice.

I just know that the Hitman 2 pre-order bonus was never released seperatly, so I assumed it was only ported over to people who owned it in H2.
But if it comes with the expansion Access Pass? Cool. It’s a shame they never released it outside the initial day 1.

The dialogue and writing is god-awful but I enjoyed it because of all the little stuff like Swan and Davenport.

It’s not THAT bad, but unpolished. :joy: The spelling’s rather off, some of the dialogue clunky, and the ending clumsy, but it’s better than plenty of fan-fiction. I like how it conforms to the established mechanics of the HITMAN universe: such a kill would be almost possible to recreate. I’d read more little things from Michael Vogt.

i dunno, i think the story was pretty good. the only bad thing was the dialogue. but it’s clear Vogt’s strongsuit is when he’s writing detailed descriptions / events; not dialogue. but i guess that’s where other IOI writers come in :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I found out that the QR codes shattered around in Mendoza, doesn’t actually work unlike the QR code found on a NPC in Chongqing. So it’s not the most exciting thing I found out, since it amounts to nothing.
