I appreciate the in-depth analysis, but if you tell me “yame, yame” and ask me what I remember from a game I played 20 years ago, it’s those other dudes outside. I admit I didn’t remember the cover art for the mission and that really seems to be what they’re going for. 
My point is… it’s a reskin, even if it’s pretty cool. When I saw it I thought it was really awesome at first and then I went, “wait a minute…”. Even the Futo suit has more significant differences!
It wouldn’t matter much if we were not already swimming in reskins. Gosh, it feels like Hitman jumped the shark almost four years ago when I complained that they added a cowboy suit with a high-powered magnum revolver, wait no, it’s another M1911/Hardballer reskin. Wasn’t there revolvers in Absolution? By my account, we’re at fifteen M1911 variants now.
I mean, we’ve all had that dream, right? I’m in my bed, when I notice the personification of IOI is standing before me:
– I’ve updated everything in you room, it says. It’s now the Mk III version. You’re welcome.
– But everything is the same, I answer. Maybe a few color changes and some stickers.
– Ingrate! Ingrate! I hear shadowy voices screaming around me.
– Well, I see my red pen is now blue. At least I can write with blue ink now.
– Oh no, IOI replies. There’s still red ink in it, but the skin of it is blue now, you see?
– Then what’s the point?
– Simple. Now you can bring two pens to work!
– Couldn’t I just bring two red pens?
The shadowy voices snicker at the stupidity and audacity of my question. Then, out of nowhere, a big bald man starts strangling me with an invisible wire that’s a slightly different color from another invisible wire. And then I wake up. It was all just a dream! Except that, from the corner of my eye, I spot, on my desk, a blue pen…
We’ve all been there, right? Right?
