Elusive Target #37: EMINƎM vs. SLIM SHADY (Year 6: 27 July - 23 August 2026)

Big if true. Hopefully you prepared some strong arguments to back this outrageous claim.

I sure did, and they are as follows: any person who plays Hitman, is in fact, by definition, a Hitman player (both words share a root). As such, one hundred percent of Hitman players must, by necessity, play Hitman. :grin:

Was watching BigMooney play this mission and as it turns out there’s a voice line for this:

I watched his run yesterday and heard this too! Hadn’t even noticed the line during my plays.

The point of these voice lines is to highlight anything story-related or mission-critical. Having subtitles for every bit of dialogue is just not a good idea. Great for accessibility, but ultimately messes up a good system players use to know what to focus on in terms of the story and/ or gameplay.

I don’t really want subtitles on the Nestle CEO in a phonecall in Landslide, for example, it’s just filler dialogue you’re meant to ignore as you walk past or are in the general vicinity. Makes the world feel more alive without the player needing to interact. Even the volume for these lines are different, as to suggest it’s not relevant.

That said, for patient Banana’s guy here in this mission (and really, most of these patients), I would consider them and his voice lines mission relevant, so I would absolutely agree with adding subs to them there, even if they’re nonsense, because you are meant to focus on them.

I mean…I could also say “this is a bad idea because it breaks away from gameplay expectations”, but I don’t feel like that’s good enough.

Sometimes things just need examples and long explanations.

Absolution had this problem, where subtitles and audio for three conversations at once would be playing over each other. The mission critical one, the one that gives background on the target, and the one where two guards are verbally writing what sounds like a screenplay to a horror movie at full volume

I’ve heard that the reason eurler hasn’t done the infiltrator dialogue is because of exactly this issue

it gets pretty annoying hearing 3 conversations overlap and missing vital details

Concept arts for the mission.

(also, at least, did the guard suit , except the hockey mask which was made by Hedvig Karlsson, and the shoes, pants, and jacket of the DLC pack suit, the MC Fit)

Hey Artie, did you ever get anything back about this? Yay, nay, we’ll see? Or just silence?

Having this as an option for 47 would be really cool the more I see this pic. To be honest, if this was ever added to the game, I’d be more inclined to have 47 use two hands to shoot a gun instead of single handed.

He’s dead…again…and muted…again…

Done. Same procedure as the first time, followed the path to let Eminem kill Slim Shady himself. Only difference this time is that I actually got to use the default patient suit. Didn’t really adhere to the HPP on this one as a result, but still SA, 5 stars.
