2024 Content? NEW Content?? Really??

Please please please give us some sort of Freelancer updates, additions, or quality of life improvements!

Please, hopefully, Sony can throw the team some more money to get a PSVR2 version out there too

What Iā€™d really like for Ambrose are some achievements and its addition to the campaign tab between WC and Sgailā€¦ (Too late for some original lines for 47 sadly)

But yeah, it does look kinda lonely without an escalation.

And while weā€™re at it letā€™s get the cutscenes after NY and Maldives into the story line.

I will say that I hope communication improves more in 2024. Clemensā€™ absence has really been felt with the Winter Roadmap missing out on several details. If youā€™re looking to hire a new community manager IO, I am available!

If weā€™re wishing for improved communication, we should be wishing for things to go back how they were years ago. For the last few years, its not uncommon to go long stretches of months without anything coming from IO beyond the occasional tweet/post on Instagram etc.

There was a time during H1 (admittedly when they were still under Square Enix) where you could go to reddit for example and Travis was responding with multiple messages almost every single workday. The communication and interaction with the community has been in a downward decline for a very, very long time now.

If they plan on keeping the status quo from recent years, they may as well not bother replacing him. Because they clearly gave Clemens so many other duties to perform internally that he wasnā€™t able to be present within the community remotely enough.

Grey always did have 47ā€™s back.

He didnā€™t for the 20 years 47 had been out of the asylum and Grey was justā€¦ out there, clearly following along, but not doing shit, not stopping by to say hello.

(As in, hello Mr Plothole to the story IOI decided to go with for WoA)

Well, thatā€™s a neat thing to wake up to.
I want to be excited about new ETs, but the vague wording leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Dream scenario would be a bunch of brand new high-effort ETs that get followed up by a revival of ETA to make the best use out of them (perhaps one of the new tracks could have the Deceivers). Maybe even some crazier complications like added objectives or extra NPCs.
Though at the same time a 180 turn like that sounds unlikely and itā€™s probably gonna be just another year of ET recycling.

I wonder if the planned escalation that didnā€™t make the cut is still on the table or got scrapped completely.

Conceivably, they could freshen things up by combining a few more of the 2016 ETs that are fairly simple on their own, while condensing the number they have to run. For example, the Paparazzi could be combined with either the Blackmailer or the Sensation, the Broker and the Forger are connected via their phone calls, so they could work, then thereā€™s the Chef and the Pharmacist, or perhaps the Black Hat.

Of course, some are complex enough on their own, and should never be combined, like the Warlord and the Ex-Dictator, or the Surgeons and the Fugitive, the Bookkeeper and the Chameleon, etc.

How come Hitman Blood Money Reprisal (which contains instinct mode and minimap), is not been released on PC or XBOX/Playstation consoles?

I think that the best new content we can hope for involves a beta testing of new features that would appear in Project 007.

Inspired by the Hitman Freelancer receiving GOTY award nominations, they might also spend the time/money adding content to Freelancer. I think that it is quite possible that Project 007 will have a version of Freelancer mode.

I would suspect that most new content will be a re-release of previous content in 2024 outside of player generated feature contracts.

Dunno I expect nothing huge. Maybe a few unlocks of unreleased items, rerun ETs, FCsā€¦ stuff like that. A patch or two with bugfixes.

I also think the communication is very low atm. I guess Travis canā€™t do both his and Clemensā€™ work at the same time again so it will keep going like that. Not that the late-Clemens time had much stuff to share with us to begin with.

Although for Project 007 somwhat soon it is a good idea for a new Community Manager to get their feet wet with us and Hitman.

What would be nice if we got more IO Insides episodes going again.

There already was the HD Enhanced Collection version from 4 years ago. I wouldnā€™t want them to have another version that soon. Though, it would be appreciated if they could port these new features to this version.

I would like some more content for Ambrose Island in general.

Including:

  1. Achievements/trophies for Ambrose Island (even if the only achievement added is reaching Mastery Level 20 and MAYBE one for finding/opening the shortcut)

  2. In-game challenge(s) (maybe with an unlock)

  3. An Elusive Target (and by extension adding it to Elusive Target Arcade)

  4. An Escalation

I honestly would be happy with any of these to be honest.

Maybe IOI can add an update to the Blood Money HD game and make it so you can choose to play ā€œclassic Blood Moneyā€ or something like ā€œreprisal Blood Moneyā€.

Iā€™ll second this!!! :saluting_face:

A few people have already said the same to be fair, but Iā€™m really holding out hope Freelancer gets some love with updates and new content added to it as part of the pending Year 4 roadmap. Thereā€™s still some bugs that need patching, the anticipated missing coin needs fixing and also the Safehouse Easter, Halloween and Christmas decorations will hopefully arrive!!! :grin:

Not sure this will happen for definite, but increasing the mastery levels for Freelancer would be cool, adding further items and unlocks for the Safehouse areas! New Boats, Cars, Furnitureā€¦ā€¦ā€¦the list goes on!! :wink:
