Perhaps then the best thing would have been a consistent theme for FC unlockables, (possibly gold?), but for what they’ve made I would have taken Ducky or Ruby Rude as the theme, but as things are it’s fine, if a little strange. It probably bothers me most the Rude Ruby is unsilenced and the Ruby Rude is silenced.

I like that theyre putting the suits into categories. I think tho its because themed is way overdone when they make new suits. I would like more of the other categories. Honestly the deluxe category could be made to incoude all the suits that are references to older games. But then itd take some stuff from other categories that fit better in the ones we have so thats a terrible idea

I think the biggest reason this is good is the Themed suit category was getting bloated, and adding more tabs means it’ll be simpler to see everything.

I expected the GOG response, and honestly? That’s a fair position to take. It’s a pretty new development, and I’d rather they think about what they say before committing to a plan

I had the same reaction to my question. I want to know what happens after the 1 year exclusive period ends but I understand why they can’t say much yet.

Congratulations to @Ashley, @TheChicken, and @Atomicgarbage for the featured contracts !

* * *

Envy seems to be very promising. Happy that I got the green filter right. I really like the aesthetic they went for.  
I’m already wary of the inevitable meme about “we have 47 at home”, but can’t wait for the references to a failed clone.

Honestly it’s a bold mechanic to introduce for a dlc. I imagine it is not easy to implement. Especially after what they said about the difficulty of the Diana ally AI.

I will secretly always assume that there is no AI but a poor employee at IOI taking remote command of the rival ala deathloop, and that’s why the escalation is online only.

I still reserve the kudos for the release, but in the meantime i can still give a nod of respect to the team.

![nod of respect](https://hitmanforum-v6-s3-uploads.s3.dualstack.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/8/7/876ff76a88b35b43531f959e2df068d325c8831a.gif)  
I’m glad all the rest of my predictions were false, they presented much better.

If the escalation is as promising as it seems, it might become one of my usual “replay to kill time”, like Lust already is.

* * *

Finally, it was just a pleasant stream to watch. Quite a lot was talked about. And I’m more confident about at least the end of the first year because of it.

* * *

(I just realised we should have asked if the restrictions/limits posed by covid on their capacities as a studio are now behind them, I imagine they were not easy to work with)

47 is **not** impressed

Looks like the management had no clear idea about Hitman 3’s live roadmap, they are probably torn because of the production of their other projects, but still need to keep the “Hitman 3 Live” project alive for some reasons. I hope for more informations soon on the future content.

According to this, they have taken my first question, but didn’t take the second.  
Shame. But thanks for the ET formula update, if I might say so

I imagine they’re hesitant of releasing content for older maps for two reasons I can think of: 1) People asking why the content isn’t accessible in older games if the maps are there too, and 2) The confusing nature of the Access Pass system for uninformed/new people looking to get all the content in H3 for the first time.

If they ever release a World of Assassination Trilogy and support it for some time as well, that may make for an easier pitch for a Patient Zero like side campaign across three game’s worth of maps.

Anyway, good Insider and I’m looking forward to the Roadmap.

@DrMekar Can you say who the rival in the envy trailer is? Is it a new NPC face?

He does look like one of the bodyguards or one of the biker face, isn’t ?

And because I just saw some comments on youtube about the suit being “just a reskin of the Smart Casual Suit”, I wish to point out that the suit is a normal jacket and hoodie. And quite stylish.

I haven’t watched the stream or the Envy trailer yet, but this style gives me very heavy The Matrix vibes.

Green filter,  
Digital-style design for the suit,  
A hoodie, signature hacker attire,  
And the sunglasses!

Did someone in the design room watch the movie recently? 😆
