As an architect, the bit about avoiding dead ends to not make the player feel trapped nicely mirrors dead ends in real buildings - Building codes actually pretty strongly limit the length of 'dead end corridors' in order to limit the area of a building an occupant can be trapped in the event of a fire.

It took him quite a bit to get the timing right, but it worked, because she wasn't just a scripted graphic on the track - she was a physical object in the game, and you could interact with her and the car, even then.

@@DGMUSICisGOOD blood money in my opinion is a bit overrated. It’s a great game, but not the best in the franchise. It’s telling that when the game came out players thought the formula was getting a bit stale. It certainly has the best AI in the series, but the world of assassination trilogy’s AI isn’t far behind. The one thing that puts The World of Assassination games ahead of blood money for me is that it’s not only a natural progression of blood money, but also of absolution, and the three games are also just one game. If they were to remake any of the previous hitman games they would use the system Hitman 3 will put in place to just add them into the current plot.

I enjoyed hearing about the iterative qualities of the level design processes, and cackled when hearing about the suit-only moment. It's a succinct look into a deep philosophy in the Hitman series. Even going as far back as Hitman 2 with its introductory level, players are able to consistently perform well in levels without using disguises. It speaks volumes about the actual consistency of the gameplay in this series. Amazing video, as always.

[@BackfallGenius]

Yeah it's kind of a reverse psychology level design situation. You would think Suit Only means it's easier to design the level around it because you don't have to deal with disguises, but it's exactly the opposite. This means that the target shouldn't freely wander out into areas where 47 can roam in a suit without trespassing, because it would make it too easy. The entire level, its target loops, and assassination opportunities have to work for Suit Only, which can be incredibly difficult to pull off.

One thing I like about hit man is what makes the levels unique, more so in hitman 2016 than hitman 2. Paris: a large map with lots of people, where each level of the building goes up in difficulty Sapienza: a small Italian town filled with stories and unique locations and events Marrakech: tbh this map doesn’t bring anything new but is still fun Bangkok: this my is just plain boring in my opinion luckily the next 2 redeem it. Colorado: a large map where the entire map is a “fortress” almost everyone is a guard and one wrong move means death Hokkaido: a map where you cannot bring any equipment and access to the different facilities is solely based on disguise

Thinking about the Miami level, how you're basically exploring everything BUT the track, it kind of makes me wonder about a multiplayer game wherein some players are racing, and other players are doing things behind the scenes in the venue off the track. Sort of like Mario Kart meets Spy Party. Events on the track could affect the situation in the venue (an errant turtle shell could end up in the punch bowl), while certain incidents in the venue could affect the situation on the track (someone could mess with a powerup that's about to be put on the track, causing someone's bullet bill to send their car flying into orbit). Also, getting the devs in was a masterstroke for this video. I never would have thought about snail-houses, Swiss cheese and Ikea before today, but now I have some IDEAS.

[@oceanman2811]

Hey, that's a great idea for a game!

[@Roxfox]

That sounds rad. Asymmetrical gameplay is becoming more and more popular, too. Taken to the extreme, you could even have shades of Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, where if one off-track opponent does something sketchy to affect the race, you have to get yourself down to the pit to give your racing teammate instructions on what to do when repercussions kick in. Maybe some sort of track sabotage could make a series of shortcuts inaccessible and you need to figure out which route your teammate needs to take and have him memorize your instructions ahead of time as to not run into a suddenly appearing wall at the last moment. Games like Rollcage and Split/Second had lots of fun with powerups that destroyed parts of the scenery on and around the track to try to trap opponent racers with, and that would naturally create challenges and difficulties if there are also players up to no good in those very buildings. You could make some cool stuff out of that!

[@fLzii]

while it doesn't have anything to do with cars the general premise sounds a lot like the custom counter strike mode "deathrun" where one or two players can activate various traps while the other players have to run through the corridors baiting the trap operators into activating them

[@GmodPlusWoW]

@@fLzii I am quite familiar with the concept of the Death Run. However, I feel like the formula could be further refined with a "Killer Mansion" game mode, where the CTs have to go around a sprawling non-linear level, solve the puzzles and try not to die, while the Terrorists sit around in their secret bunker, setting off traps and summoning monsters in the mansion above, in an effort to keep the CTs from unlocking the bunker and killing them all.

[@fLzii]

@GmodPlusWoW that sound's pretty good actually maybe make the traps and puzzles semi random like tilesets in various dungeon crawlers for longevity. might be hard to get working in source though except maybe with copy and pasting the villa and using random teleports on mapspawn

Damn, the editing in this video is top notch. All your videos are very well edited, but this one had me rewinding again and again because of how well done the editing is.

Your channel is absolutely one of the best I've ever seen, thanks for all this amazing content!

[@VBall1295]

Your in-depth explanations of this series has made me decide to get them, Mark. Not immediately, I'm still playing through several games at the moment, but I am excited to have such a methodical sandbox to play with.

[@tarquinnff3]

This is great! I'd love to see something like this video done for Stardew Valley's town design and character schedules. Regardless, I look forward to more Making of videos. Thanks!

Such a cool video, thank you for seeking out an interview it adds so much to it.

[@ProToTypeBeatmaker]

Love your videos! I've learned some much about games! Far more than I did in my college days! Keep it up!

[@parkourbee2]

I love that the guys he interviewed were as bald as Hitman.

[@mariopllumbi3748]

The most underrated game of all time. I love HITMAN games.

[@K38Media]

I love this video Mark, please do more of these if possible! I love hearing from the designers of the game, I learned so much as a fellow developer/designer

[@lucasdelvallet]

Awesome video ! I think it's the first time you make a video that's close to a making-off, by sharing tips and secrets directly from the devs. And it's a great idea ! More of them would be cool, it's super interesting.

[@vitorhp2]

Nice episode. I'm playing Hitman 2016 and as I play I think constantly about the whys and hows of every level, so this came in the perfect time.

[@BenjaminRodriguezReyes]

This channel keeps getting better and better, awesome video

[@pathongofaustralia]

Dammit you've sold me on this game I'll have to buy it immediately

[@SWBGPGMG]

It's strange and sad to see that Camp omega from MGS Ground Zeroes as no equivalent in the entire Phantom Pain two maps . Ground Zeroes was way shorter than Phantom Pain, but way better and really felt like an MGS game.

[@sanguine_sujeethpv9132]

The amount of planning u got a put into getting those SA/SO challenges are so fun ..it just makes u feel soo good when u pull it off

[@Michneko]

Really good video, very interesting, it was really cool to hear stuff from the actual devs.

[@CaptainJeoy]

Basically, a game filled with a lot of "interesting decisions"

What have Agent 47 and Diana got about meeting in airports?

[@jeromeciarkowski1367]

I love the addition of the dev Skype chat! Hearing the direct thoughts of the creators is a nice touch.

[@djbeema]

I've been playing Hitman 2 & legacy levels like crazy over the past 2 weeks, so this is perfect! Love these games so much.
