So apparently there’s some special dialogue in The Ark Society where if you start the music, lie in the casket, make the women start the ceremony and get up. Something along the lines of Zoe scolding here for not preparing the ceremony and rescheduling the event.
I don’t think the mission story/opportunity will be playable again after this.
Hakan Abrak addresses the whole H2 level importation situation for the first time ever
Evidently, compromises and different publishers had meant complications with the game’s backend, which resulted in issues at launch when players were reporting issues with being able to import the content of the first two games into Hitman 3 without being forced to buy them again.
“I’m not going to defend it by saying that it’s a challenging thing to release a game, but I think we could have definitely double checked,” Abrak admits. “We should have maybe started a bit more support with external partners to help with the inflow of inquiries and issues that was linked to this. I think in some cases we were a bit slow to react quickly enough to people to assure them that this is being worked on.”
For one platform holder, the technical issue stemmed from a different publishing ID in the back end, requiring IO Interactive to basically create a new publishing ID so that Hitman 1 and 2 could be unlocked in Hitman 3 as one executable.
“We had to jump through hoops and learn things, and sometimes it was like, ‘Can this really be true?’,” explains Abrak. “We had to learn how to communicate and where to push the platform holders. Like, ‘This is awesome for you as well if you can have this functionality.’ On the other hand, there are some things we shouldn’t ask for because it’s too complex and they have obviously trillions of other clients.”
It falls very much in line with what @wincenworks as well as the rest of the forum staff have said, including a lot of members. But it’s nice to see IO tackle this subject, I don’t think it will change the perception of those who jumped the gun, for them the damage have already been done. Hopefully IO will learn and grow from this experience.
We also live in a time where game developers and publishers have to tread very carefully when dealing with reception.
Anyhow thanks for the article, then I got some bed time reading.
I don’t recall another game franchise doing what IOI did for Hitman 3 and port previous content forward for free like this. Especially through many other publishers.
The fact it was able to be pulled off, and for not even a small fee towards players, is still a little surprising to me. A month of having to wait could have been worse, I feel.
Alright, I found out:
- That there is a glitch that makes Jiao to keep on calling Agent Rhodes even though he’s been dead for some time (she kept doing it until the mission ends).
- That, for some reason, breaking the glass to steal the 1945 Grand Paladin can destroy the wine bottle itself.
- That you can place the Pinot Noir wine on the bar table near the barbeque place.
Did he ever put some pants on?
Gotta buy the Rocco DLC for that 
Season of Rocco’s Pants?
IOI outsourced the cutscenes for HITMAN Season One to Platige Images, or rather, Square Enix did.
Can happen with any of the agents.
CJ got this bug too a few months ago 1:08:21
TIL that you can save up to one minute in Marrakesh’s cameraman opportunity by bumping into the journalists to skip their dialogues.
With the skips, i’m talking to Sandberg at 3:02.
If I do not interfere with the dialogue, i’m not talking to Sandberg until 4:01
The morgue is just so white now.
(Perhaps a glitch Map lightning/bloom discussion - #154 by StingingVelvet)
It took 3 years, but I found out that you can zoom in when you’re viewing the map 
i discovered it when playing the The Politician today
I was dicking around in a Landslide featured contract since I lost SA. So I sniped 2 targets from the church tower. And as expected, nearby guards started shooting in my general direction. So, I was going to go down the drainpipe on the back. The moment I went over the ledge one of the guard’s shots released the bell, sending it crashing below. I’ve never seen that happen before. Pretty funny. 
This is not related to hitman but I just found out that David Bateson is the Lego city guy.
"A man has fallen into the river in LEGO City! "
Weird to hear 47’s voice in an ad.
Don Yates will run to the shrine to pray when he’s all alone without any guards to protect him. Looks to be triggered similarly to how lockdown>panic works on Alma.

You can also skip dialogs in the game by putting something in briefcase. After you press the conceal button when holding the briefcase. The dialog starts playing but the timer will be still freezing.
Found a way to get SA when confronting Agent Montgomery as Rolf Hirschmüller (club owner). Normally your SA cover will be blown when using this method. However If you knock out Montgomery’s “bodyguard” before hand, as well as the guards in and outside the office. You will be able to do the shootout and still get the SA rating. There will be no guards to investigate the “commotion”.
It’s an easy way to complete the level, all the necessary targets will come to you.
I recently just found out about The Alantide Space Program challenge and how the shuttle blows up midway through liftoff because of the forum. That was one of the wildest challenges I’ve ever seen to date.
Also, muffin boosting. I’ve yet to try it, but I would like to try getting into Silvio’s mansion during the night missions in Sapienza (especially The Author).
