You can exit Dartmoor on destroyed hearse

This must be a rare import reinforced American-made super strong hearse then!
Notice that the hearse is:
-
Left hand drive as the rest of vehicles in Dartmoor. I knew LHD cars exist in England, but it’s unlikely that even hearses and vans are.
-
It’s the only new car model in H3, others can be found in legacy levels.
-
It’s based on 1995 Buick Roadmaster Hearse.
-
Despite being new in WoA, the model is directly taken from Absolution. Source from IGCD:

I should have known this was a thing, but I’ve never thought of doing it until I read the Challenge Feat description for The Future Foretold on A House Built on Sand.
If you get the customer away from the Fortune Teller before Matthieu Mendola walks by, then he has his fortune read without 47’s intervention. I found the dialogue cool, so I’ll leave it for you to discover.
That all said, the only downside is waiting for Mendola’s loop. Which is why I’ve never waited and just became the Fortune Teller myself since there isn’t any actual elimination advantage to having them meet normally. At least from what I can gather.

Saw this on the subreddit, has anyone seen this in game before?
“The Promise - Death Awaits Us All” - a movie poster in Paris. Clearly based on the Hitman III key artwork, but Marek Bogdan (director on the poster) hasn’t worked at IO since 2013, according to his LinkedIn

Would be interesting to know if that is part of original Paris!
The reduction of H3 filesize resulted in more shared assets but I can’t imagine a poster that sneaked into Paris because of this happens to be a very fitting french one.

I’ve checked what I think is the same spot in H2 and HIII, and the posters are different - they’re for a film called Silo, with the name Rasmus Jorgensen attached. Looks like he’s currently a senior concept artist at IO. Top picture is my copy of HIII, and bottom is same spot in H2:
So I’m confused. Maybe his image is somewhere farther out of bounds, since he used freecam and I’m on Xbox. But that top pic is a perfect match.

This poster looks quite similar to ‘The Platform’ movie

The plot thickens…
According to the OP on reddit, apparently the French poster is from the alpha of HITMAN 1. So the key art and tagline for HIII are based on a super early concept art, hidden out of bounds in Paris? Super interesting if that’s the case!

Alrighty so whoever has access to the closed alpha here on the forum it should be a done deal about this poster.

Around four-five months into the launch of Hitman: Absolution Square Enix released an article about how much in-game money had been earned through contracts mode.
Fun facts from the article:
- First up, over $1.377 trillion has now been earned in with the mode. That’s $1,377,000,000.
- The most played contract - “Silent and Deadly” on the PlayStation 3 - has been attempted 584,783 times.
- In the Sniper Challenge pre-order bonus level, there have now been over 110 million kills.
- The most-used method of killing in Hitman: Absolution is the Pistol, responsible for 37.83% of all NPC kills.
Also, IOI ran some sort of alternate reality game for Hitman: Absolution as a means of promotion. No one ever touched it or bothered to decode it apparently. It’s about Cosmo Faulker posting a bunch of stuff through his Google+ account

You can find a transcript of it at this link, with a lot of forum gibberish inbetween. Very cool ngl. Lore minefield.
A few of the original posts were archived actually.

I remember back when this ARG was released and how we on the forum took part in the game, tracking down Faulkner information and his hunt for 47. One of the more memorable promotions, something that keep the forum busy. I can’t believe that it has been 10 years ago.

“Is that… Pitbull??”
@Luiluix Super cool to see that the Hitman III artwork evidently is based on something so early in development, between the popped collar, the raised gun, tagline, and the red logo on grayscale. Makes me wonder now if the same poster is removed from 2016 Paris as well.
