Things About Hitman You Just Found Out

If you kill all the other Heralds in Mendoza, Don Yates still pretend they are all there at the meeting. He will talk to no one like a mad man.

I didn’t get a photo of this, but if you tango in the Herald costume the providence pin comes off before the dancing starts. It could be a bug, but it also could be intentional as 47 isn’t part of that organisation.

Another missed opportunity for quite an intense showdown. I don’t blame IOI, though - players can do so many odd things - and Yates is perhaps the type who would just bluster his way through regardless.

Don Yates’ vision problems are getting worse but he won’t tell anyone because doesn’t want to appear vulnerable.

He can’t see anything but he can tell 47 is near because 47 wears really strong cologne.

That explains why I can throw the Paladine wine into the corner and pull out some radom bottle for the mission story. He is both blind and has a numb tongue. :joy:

You can even leave the bodies there.

If you take a shot of reporter’s body out of mission story and before meeting with contract assassin, Grey will say this (GIF)

In the cutscene after Dartmoor, the Constant says “And then there were none”, referring to no more Providence Board members being left.
It’s also a direct reference to Agatha Christie’s bestseller “And then there were none”, the world’s best-selling mystery that was I think an inspiration for the Dartmoor level setting.

I think a lot of people will have missed this in Mendoza but you can actually find 47’s canon ending

wait did I say canon or cannon? :thinking:

Maybe the Dartmoor briefing being called “End of the Line” implies that it’s the end of the line for Grey.

5 years later, I just found out thanks to the featured contract “Eviction” that Jackie Carrington will not just flirt with you in passing, but if you run into her at the bar, will give you her room key and invite you up. I waited in the room for a while to see if there was further dialogue but she seemed to be looping her routine downstairs. Might just need to wait more.

Incidentally that contract also taught me that there are at least 3 opportunities in Thailand for what I consider the most brutal kill in all of Hitman: sneaking up behind someone taking a leak and then drowning them in their own pee. Wonder if a themed contract is in order…

Well it most likely means the end of Providence since the last Partner will be eliminated in that mission. What’s really foreshadowing to me is how they discussed their future when they arrived at the manor. You know, typical in fiction when a character is about to face their destiny. :wink:

I think the name death in the family is more foreshadowing…

47 is in the announcement for The Deceivers.

Never noticed him before.

they actually talk about the multiple meanings of that title in the developers commentary mission start, including what happens in the post-mission cutscene. I’m not sure whether or not you can use that mission start on your first playthrough but if you can i imagine it would suck to be spoiled by the developers themselves

Isn’t that the point? :stuck_out_tongue:

You can, and unfortunately I did that on my first playthrough. I started up Dartmoor as normal with the default starting location, and after realising that the level starts right away with no scripted/cinematic gameplay like Dubai, I figured “why not listen to this commentary track as I infiltrate this house” and restarted with the Commentary on.
Boy, did I regret that.

I ended up using the Commentary start on my second location playthroughs after that…

Jackie Carrington doesn’t have any more dialogue unfortunately. When I first played Thailand, I thought it was going to be like Samantha in Blood Money. But Jackie Carrington will react like any other npc that catches you trespassing

By the way, I am late. But I found out in Hitman 3 if you enter 420, 69, 666, or 47 in the keypad, Agent 47 will say something unique

Im not sure I like this one, but: I already covered that the new hiding cover animation is actually just the Alpha animation 1:1 copied. Today I found out, that the new “gun holding” animation is just the same from the Alpha aswell. I dont want to hate to much on IOI, but seeing that the “new Animations” they advertised are kind of copied and modified from an Alpha they made 6 years ago does kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth.
EDIT: They didnt advertise this, they said they would smooth up animations and work on them, and if that means they would look at the Alpha animations, thats totally fine.

Also I found this monstrosity:

And this: Yes I tried, no way to turn around or see more.

Eh if it looks and feels better I don’t really care. I think the climbing animations might’ve been from Absolution first anyway.

Im with you there, for the cover animation for example, yes, 100% looks and feels better. In a door crouching where he just slides down the wall looks so smooth.

But the gun holding animation looks so much better in 1 and 2. Now he holds it so unnatural, who twists their arm like that.
