just to answer a few concerns,
Yes we have gotten the approval from the Bruce Lee Estate to incorporate Bruce Lee into the mission.
And we worked with an official and approved Voice Over artist.
Okay so just noting some interesting things, not really spoilers:
Theyāve given some Asian guards Asian civ voices (they finally saw my wisdom) but no new guard lines recorded for them (They do not ask you to surrender, although at least the prompt is up for the normal time and isnāt skipped)
They changed the NPCs in the rooms around Rieperās Suite, not 100% sure why at this stage but Iāll take it
They removed everyone from Cross wing except cleaning staff (some may have been added, similar to the Source) and the three guards in security room. The even deleted everyone from fumigation area and managerās office (zero idea why, but no more Mrs Mookjai at least)
They fucked up trespassing in the Cross wing and other guards will tell you off for being there
I like how they managed Bruce Leeās presence in the ET. Respectful and tasteful, plus intrigued what will have to be done to help him out in the mission and who is the actual ET.
So this looks like a kind of a bodyguard mission overall. This is strange choices for this new CelebrET, maybe this makes it a very unique mission anyway?
I see that you also plan to put this content for a limited time only? Not sure thatās a good idea, especially after all the backslash about The Disruptor issue
At least we wonāt risk a trial for rape or any other misconduct with him
Looking forward to try this new content anyway, even if i expected somethingā¦different.
Okay so Iāve replayed the mission in the elusive target aracde a couple times through now and every single time (without fail) I will be met with static fighters. They never want to do anything. Is this a me thing?
I had the same thing where it was just frozen on the mat with no fight beginning, so I restarted to get rid of them a different way. Annoying that the first half hour exploring the mission was for nothingā¦
Below is a list of known issues that have been identified by the team who are working on fixes.
In āThe Infiltratorā and āThe Dragonā, when Bruce Lee is fighting, itās possible for the fighters to get stuck under specific circumstances, blocking progression of the mission.
Is there a way to actually speed up the tournament? I was able to defeat the rivals easily, but then itās just waiting around for another 25 minutes for the tournament to be over and the target to die.
Other than that I like the ET. I especially like that the three side targets popping up donāt cause you to lose the ability to restart the mission, they learned from The Splitter.
I also feel it was pretty respectful of Bruce Lee. I like how they used him in the mission and made him a hero like he was in his films. At least they used an actual voice actor and not regurgitated AI.
First impression.
Looks really fun. And with a lot of potential.
Currently riddled with bugs. I will wait a fix before doing the ET proper.
The mission is dragged down hard by the ET format and its consequences. It makes it a confused and confusing mess.
Some of the level and mission design seem a bit sloppy. Amateurish. Unintuitive.
Jank in a way Hitman usually managed to rise above.
I never entered in a dialogue with the design. It was always stuttering, or unable to communicate what it wanted properly.
It just doesnāt flow right. Like water it is not.
