silent assassin is my favourite and I still play it to this day such awesome game and nice work

[@antelasic1950]

Ever since I saw you'r Splinter Cell video I hoped you would do one for Hitman and it was worth the wait. And to answer you'r question about Tenchu, I didn't play every game in the series and it was a long time ago but from what I remember the first two are kind of like Codename 47, Good ideas but haven't aged all that well. Wrath of Heaven (the third one) is really good and it improved everything from the first two games, It's one of if not the best ninja games out there. The 4th one is more of the same from what I remember and I didn't play the rest of the series but I hear a lot of good thing about the last one(shadow assassins), could make for an interesting video.

My favorite part of silent assasin is the fact that any weapons you have on your person when you clear a level, will instantly be added to your shed. And in the shed, there are outlines of every single unlockable weapon in the game, so can easily tell what weapons you should keep an eye out for when playing levels! Spoilers ahead lads! What out! One of (if not THE) last levels has 47 arriving back at his home base, without any weapons, and the place is swarming with guards. My first playthrough I tried to struggle my way through and kill everyone on the map. The second playthrough I realized "Oh shit, I have my _shed"_

[@chuck_duck]

If I remember correctly, IOi stated that the original idea behind Blood Money’s newspaper was that if you killed the target with an accident and only killed the target, their death would be a minor side section in the papers. If you only killed the target but there were witnesses, they’d get a much larger section, and if you killed too many non-targets, your exploit would get front page. This seems like a neat system, especially for those who like to role play as 47.

[@mcreally4300]

26:42 Alec Baldwin approves

[@WoolyNips]

Honestly, I was hoping someone would pick up on it. A video that’s 2 years old 😂

[@SpectorEuro4]

I’ve always thought how 47 isn’t being recognized by federal agencies around the globe. He may commit murders while being hidden and using different disguises. But he always enters a location with the same suit. So he is always being seen as agent 47. At this point, there HAS to be a pattern established because a bald dude wearing a suit and a red tie is always present in places where someone has a weird accident, or mysteriously drowned, chocked, shot in the head.

[@homoxymoronomatura]

Add his barcode to the equation and you will notice that 47 is really characteristic.

[@TheMiddleFiddle]

To be fair, most of his assignments are in high class places and bald dudes with sharp suits isn't a very rare sight in those places

[@Sam-K]

Keep in mind that Hitman: Codename 47 was released in a time where pretty much ALL shooters games had hostile NPCs. Everyone you see is a foe, shoot on sight! And judging by the C47's guides and reviews over on GameFAQs, it confused a TON of people, apparently. Now, isn't it something!

[@CallForGrandPappy]

47 must’ve been even more terrifying during those days, a new and confused Agent 47, gunning down everyone he sees just desperately trying to find a target.

[@zumabbar]

[@staryoshi06]

The suspicion meter in Hitman 2 (the original) seems random because it differs per map. It's based upon a reasonable expectation of how likely it would be for someone to recognise that you're in disguise. For example, on the first map, the mafia all know each other, so they very quickly recognise you aren't one of them. It is a bit of a frustrating mechanic sometimes, but it is not random.

[@musabmasri3547]

The randomness aspect of it is how sometimes guards can blow your cover and sometimes not. Which the video clearly shows and that's what I remember from the level. It's the same for the first map. Not to hate on the game but, random it definitely was.

[@spyegle]

I think the big issue with the randomness is how Critical played it. I've read everywhere that playing the game at more than 60 fps (or just 60?) breaks the IA completely. I've just finished it yesterday for the first time on ps2 and the IA was mostly consistant, at least WAY more than on that video. Well... dare I say it's my favorite disguise IA in the entire series !

Copium aside. Hitman 2 & Contracts used the same engine, which had obvious A.I. issues.

From playing Hitman I moved to Kane and Lynch and holy shit.. I loved the story move even though so many people hated it but the online multiplayer...

Hitman Absolution was the first Hitman game I ever played. I remember having a blast the entire playthrough(and every playthrough after that). of course, I also remember having the most Fun on the more Sandboxy levels where your only main objective is to eliminate a target(s) and leave the scene. setting up the perfect Accidental kill, lining up a sniper shot, or just going guns blazing. always had fun. while the game certainly isnt perfect, I always have fun doing my Shenanigans and causing general *Chaos* (and being properly sneaky occasionally) regardless of if it's a sandbox level or linear level. it introduced and hooked me onto the series lol

Awesome video! I appreciate all the hard work you've put into this. My first Hitman game was Contracts and since it was the first experience of its kind, I absolutely loved it. I've been following the series ever since. And I do agree that it has the best atmosphere (and soundrack). That mission in a night club with blood splattered all over the place, hanging meat hooks, dancing ladies in latex, the butcher room and Jabba the Hutt boss, oh man... Though, Hitman (2016) introduced the best balance of everything we love about the series and improved it in every way possible. It just turned out to be so GOOD. I really am glad that iOi decided to go back to the game's roots and delivered super smooth and polished Hitman experience.

Jesper Kyd is so brilliant. Silent Assassin and Contracts had SUCH incredible atmosphere. Part of the reason I played those games dozens of times. God, I love this franchise.

[@sdaafasfad]

Silent Assassin will always have a special place in my heart - I had the disk and installed it on my primary school computers. Got suspended for a few days but well worth it. I'd just sit at the start screen and listen to the intro music! The Danish National Orchestra did a symphony of the intro music by Jesper Kyd. Really hit me in the nostalgic feels.

[@jharju2352]

Silent Assassin had the jankiest sneaking ever (being detected while disguised for no reason is why most of my missions went loud at some point) but it's definitely the one and only Hitman for me. Great story, amazing soundtrack and fun mission design.

[@Arnauortega1985]

My favourite missions are A Dance With The Devil, for its open ended design along with interesting map interactivity, and The Farewell, for the great opportunities that the game puts over the table for you to execute. I like every single game, but oddly enough, my second and third favourite ones are Codename 47 and Absolution. My all time favourite one, is Blood Money. It's a little ankward how the formula was changed coming from the more stealth based gameplay showed in Contracts and Silent Assassin, but it was far more accesible and dynamic to play. Good video, you have really good explicative skills!

[@HummingbirdSound]

My cousin had a copy of the demo of Silent Assassin, being the only one in my village to have kind of a... "computer."

Not entirely related, but I love that instead of 2 targets who are the “big bads” involved in some evil criminal plot, you have 10 possible targets, of which you only need to kill 5 which gives you a lot of freedom on how you tackle the mission. Also I generally love the idea of trying to evade and chip away at the individual “foot soldiers” if you will, of the group that turned on you and wants you dead. You aren’t killing some big shot gang leader or oil baron, they’re assassins just like you, yet inferior, and instead of running away you have to face them head on in a display of all of 47’s skills. I love the premise of this mission and it’s executed fantastically, also a really fun mission for showdowns in freelancer.
