47's Face / The Look of Agent 47

I really hope they will fix his model in 2016 levels and suits, because it’s triggering my OCD hard…

Exactly. They outdone themselves this time with the 47 model. Check out these old promos of Hitman Contracts and Blood money (1:00 mark in the first and 1:45 mark in the second) and in your screenshots he looks exactly like a modernised version of the 47 from the videos.

I literally can’t even play 2016 now because of it. The old model looks like a failed clone compared to the H3 one :joy:

Give 2016 some credit, he looked great at some angles as well.

I think he still looks better here than in H2

Well H2016 face is my favorite among WOA… Oops. Wrong thread. Moving to the Unpopular opinions.

Great comparison. I think that the splotches they put in there in Hitman 2 were too obvious not to be intentional. My guess is that thy were meant to be highlights but ended up looking, as you say, splotchy ha. In H3 they look much more like highlights.

Yep I agree with that order. The only thing I didn’t like about the 2016 model was he looked liked he’d done 3 lines of coke before every mission because his eyes were wide open. The strange thing is when we play 2016 within Hitman 3 and use any of the default outfits for any mission we get another 47 model entirely which isn’t even the model from 2016.

I think this was done to prevent clipping issues with disguises, as the neck area and muscles are a lot smoother in that model than the “new” model, but for continuity the face and most defining features are (at least supposed to be) the same.

If it’s anything to you, I’m currently working on a mod that will bring 47’s 2016 model to Hitman 3 :wink:
I bet that it might look better than many people are giving it credit for.

well the dead shark eyes he had reminded me of the Codename 47 Promotional Material :grin:
Still think he looks best in Hitman 3

Wow, would have been great!

Though I think one of the important aspects why I like it is 2016 lightning too; in H2 and H3 47’s skin almost always looks yellow, while in H2016 it looks natural most of the time

I can’t say about H3’s skin texture (trying to find the mesh/textures for it currently), but in H2 47’s skin texture was very yellow and sallowed, whereas the texture was a bit more sanguine and natural in 2016.

Of course the crap lighting doesn’t help either, but I’ve heard there may be a solution for that too in the works.

I don’t think that’s intentional at all.
Ears, eyebrows, and skull are too different, it’s almost immersion breaking, considering H3 model is pretty much perfect.
So I’m really hoping for a fix.

Yeah I feel like I picked on the 2016 model too much at the time.

Also here are some comparison pics from the same spot in the trilogy.

I think the bathroom light or something was overall darker in H3.

Good comparison photos.

Can’t beat 47’s H3 model out the three of them in my opinion.

This seems like the ugly version. Could you do the normal version too? For a better comparison. (Normal version appears when wearing the Signature Suit)

Tried to replicate the angle
Ultimate proof that there is something wrong with the model in Hitman 2016’s suits and disguises.

This is the weirdest thing. I tried myself and there is definitely a difference.

This whole time I’ve been thinking my minds playing tricks on me. Here’s the camera from the side.

You need to put this on the bug report thread friendo, so they can hopefully see and fix it.

I expected his barcode numbers to be visible this time. Still aren’t.
