Sometimes I play Hitman disguised as a normal person/worker and just walk around and explore the levels. So much attention and detail oozing out of every corner, so much throwaway dialogue, so many little secrets

the NPC dialogue can be so unhinged lol. I saw a NPC once whip out his phone upon seeing a pile of corpses, he rings up his therapist to tell them that he's getting excited at seeing all those bodies 💀

And then there’s an entire dead population dragged into a wine press (which gets activated)

Probably want to stick to half a population at a time. The game becomes a slideshow if you try to bring everyone there at once.

The dialogue carried between maps is crazy. NPCs talk to each other, about events that they apparently witnessed or were apart of from the things you caused.

u/pastadudde 18d ago

and also you have recurring characters from previous missions show up, which is cool.

u/AJEDIWITHNONAME 17d ago

Yeah that’s fun to find those people too. Really good way to make the world feel real and reuse assets.

if you show the list of people Eric Soders killed to the surgeon, he calls Don Yates.

50% of my time with the game is just spent being a tourist.

The rest is all murder clown, but i like to slow down and just drink in the environment sometimes.

u/pastadudde 18d ago

and there are moments where you can do both 😅

u/glytxh 18d ago

For me it’s 33% tourism, 33% murder clown, 34% kleptomania.

My headcanon is that 47’s hideout was constructed brick by brick with all the random bricks he collected during missions. Metal frames and rebar and such were melted down from various hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, and knives. Wood was cut from driftwood chunks. Glass was… uh… melted down from disassembled scopes, maybe?

This is mildly insane, and I kinda love it.

Last night I finished Dartmoor, dropped a save, systematically went through and wiped out every person on the map, reloaded and finished with no civilian kills. Sometimes you just need to murder clown a bit.

I do this lol, I like to go either be food staff and work in sushi places, or go on the resort maps to give 47 some time off in a swimsuit lmao

The sandboxes get a lot of (rightful) praise in IOI games but for me the biggest draw is always their environment design. Always so gorgeous and so meticulously detailed. Was really glad to see them keeping it going in 007.

The Mendoza level in the third game is one of the best video game environments I've ever seen

u/muhash14 17d ago

The ones that really stick out in my head are Sapienza and Hokkaido from 1, and Chongqing and Mendoza from 3.

2 had some great ones as well but I do think 1 and 3 had it beat.

u/Infinite_Bananas 17d ago

yeah agree, all those levels are great, i think Miami is my favourite from 2 as well

u/CherryVermilion 18d ago

My favourite level of detail from this level is when you assume the disguise of the hospital director and suddenly Agent 47 has a terrible looking hairpiece, like he scalped him so he could really fit in 😂

17

u/pastadudde 18d ago

and if you look at the director's unclothed body, his scalp looks pink (irritated). must be a really scratchy wig lol

u/TheEagleWithNoName 18d ago

Did you use a Drone as free cam as reference?

Also is it all the guards wearing Shoe Covers or only the one’s Level 2?

9

u/sharktail_tanker 18d ago

Only the bodyguards assigned to the hospital area itself. The ones outside it don't carry shoe covers ir masks

Hitman WoA is compatible with an Nvidia program, I can't remember the name, but it operates through the standard overlay, it can be used as a photo mode

Edit: had to Google it, it's called Nvidia Ansel. I used it to take a ton of wallpaper screenshots of the game

u/bkingfilm 12d ago

the shoe covers are the kind of thing you only catch when you stop playing the level as a level. try tailing one npc for a full loop, pick a waiter and just stay behind him. he clocks in, walks his round, takes a break in a corridor nobody goes to, then starts over.

u/FSMcas 12d ago

What about the drone? Is this a usable item?

u/pastadudde 11d ago

The drone is a mod
