Contracts was also only made to give Fans something to play until Blood Money was ready afaik (and obviously to make more cash).
Its still funny to me that the “filler” game turned out better than the Sequel. Its kinda like Resident Evil Nemesis and Resident Evil 4 lol.
Resident Evil 4 was bad plot wise bad dialogue great mechanics Nemesis was a general threat he would not rest till you were dead did throw you round alot.
I once made a very annoying contract with those guardener disguises (and the garbage men). The ones in front of the house next to Janus don’t have real garbage men disguises 
True. The most Helmut going to that meeting has gotten me is him walking in me on some pretty compromising positions with Dalia and/or a guard. 
You are not a clown, you are the entire circus. 
Tried to create a contract with a “no pacification”-complication. Every kill should have been by explosives. Everything went as planned. But suddenly someone slipped and got ko’d by this. Guess an explosion removed the warning sign. Never knew this works! (btw: I knew you could shoot those signs with the same effect)
(this could add a nice twist to my planned contract as you can’t have someone notice this explosion or you’ll fail the complication!)
It is quite obvious, really. The game had no fundamental gameplay changes nor new mechanics, unlike both its predecessor and successor. (However, the new decently designed maps and the adjustment of the suspicion meter made the gameplay much more pleasant). There were also virtually no main plot and more than half of the levels reused the ideas from Codename 47.
Very true the atmos and dark feel of the game is something I commend.
I wish they’d patched Contracts’ AI into Silent Assassin…this would be awesome.
This isnt really true. The Plot is “47 got shot and fantasizes about his old Hits, gets patched up and escapes his Hunters” - it’s not much, i agree, but its simple, “believable” and well executed.
I prefer Contracts Story over the needlessly complicated plot of the WoA Trilogy honestly.
apparently in contracts mode, in Mumbai, so called “Gregory Arthur” (the missing actor) is actually called “Wilson Bootyswang”
Do you have anything to do with this @Swangtheugly?
Nope
huh, either it was a glitch or, it was a Easter egg or something.
Exactly this! With what they set out to do, and the timeline they had to do it, the whole hitman story only moving 1 inch bc it’s all just flashbacks works perfectly. Barely any vocal work. All the mission briefings are text bc you’re already in the mission when it starts. The dark and rainy vibe both adds to the edginess of the game and also masks that the graphics are basically unchanged.
There are a lot of reasons so many of us want a contracts 2 and it really was just an expansion pack sold as a full game 
There are many NPCs named in missions that have incorrect names in Contracts Mode.
There are also a number of small offenders that have first or last names dropped in casual dialogue are also listed otherwise. Also some actually glitched names The Farewell.
I don’t envy the people who had to use random name generators for upwards of 300 NPCs per map. Mistakes happen, but it would be nice to fix the big outliers as long as it doesn’t break existing Contracts or something.
I just found out some details about the Switch version of Hitman 3.
It runs pretty darn well. There’s some hiccups when in handheld mode without wired internet but it runs pretty darn well when docked and wired. There’s two settings, one for graphics and 30fps, and one for Performance/stable frame-rate.
One thing that really surprises me is that this version isn’t “free”.
There’s a trial you can download to try each option for 10mins if your internet works well enough – giving you access to Dubai, (with Mission Stories but no Challenges… odd.) But apart from that 10 minutes, you have to pay to get access to the rest of the game. This isn’t a starter pack.
I guess there’s an argument to be made that they need to pay for their Cloud servers, but Stadia has a starter pack completely free and that uses the cloud…
Hopefully switch people get sales on the main game since the only way to purchase it is through the launcher, it doesn’t appear on the eShop.
I keep wanting to play the Switch version but I don’t have the best Internet and my connection isn’t wired.
Like put the game through a cheese grater, make it 240p or whatever it takes, I’d easily double dip.
But they are still read to you by Diana
Hello 47 this is Diana
If you want to have some fun with this, check out this contract: 3-22-2356574-50 which @ColdDayInHell recreated (original by @djsojus here). Hella confusing the first time you play it.
Medievil was remade for PS4 I would like to see Hitman Codename 47 remade for PS5 with all the cheese taken out of course like the Resi Games.
I’ll check that out after work. Thanks!
