I just realized that there's a dlc code for Landslide, The Icon & House Built on Sand in the box.
But the code is still invalid so I think I'll have to wait until the release date.

The only letdown of this game and its a minor one is that there is no platinum trophy. Although I guess the way they rolled the content out made it hard to actually put one in.

Maybe it gets rolled out with the disc release and the January update. Or has that been debunked?
Cool Ghosts posted a video review of Hitman. It's pretty great:

They make some good points too, like the bit about how the game changes once you've actually killed your target.

Offline and Online playthroughs use separate save files I believe. I'm pretty sure it explains that in detail if you try to play offline (I never do so can't say for sure).

A little tip for Elusives that's useful to keep in mind. You can still restart/replan/exit the mission providing you haven't killed the target, completed a secondary objective (in this case picking up the memory stick) or triggered an evacuation. So if you bugger up and get compromised before even finding the target you can start over.

That's good to know, I always figured it was a one-shot only type of deal but this is a good compromise.
Oh yes! I bought at Christmas sales and all the episodes were already launched. If anything I regret not getting it at launch. The game has so many possibilities and allows so different skill levels to play that the episodic nature feels perfect for this. I feel I missed out on the opportunity of exploring every episode until the next one launched.
Disc version doesn't have platinum. You can't change the trophy list after launch, so the digital version was never going to get a platinum.
Thanks. Will be good to get some new scenery after exhausting most of every level with mastery challenges.
Just finished the new elusive. It wasn't exactly the hardest,
but I like that it takes a little observation to spot him at first. Would love that to be developed further for future targets, as well as having them blend in, perhaps have them change outfits/disguises throughout to keep you on your toes.
This was my fifth elusive though, so I got three suits from this, Tux with Gloves, Absolution Suit, and the coveted Winter Suit at last!
I lured him into the nearby bathroom with a coin,

I need that Winter Suit. I can hardly wait to get back home from work and try the Elusive

Nice, I know Paris very well since I spent so much time on the level. I should be able to get SA.
Also had no idea a bonus mission was being released, on the same day as professional difficulty no less. It being in Sapienza makes me look forward to it.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
I hate how erratic he moves. But then I managed to
. Oh okay it's a room without any closets, I guess I can leave him in and run before they find his body. The NPCs don't just randomly enter. Just about to hit G when BAM, body found.
AAAAAARGH

This is kind of the point though. You're supposed to use the briefing videos and photos to determine where to look.

I got silent assassin. Basically after following him for a while
Ha, looks like I took an extra unnecessary step.
I realized he was never alone. But on his way to "mingle" with the crowd he was on the dark, empty side of the backstage. So I took out the waiter at the end of the hall just in case and hid him in the bathroom, and stabbed the target with scissors lol. It was pretty easy.

So it sounds like for this Elusive, there's

no real foolproof strategy to get him without knocking him out of his route

Been waiting for another Paris. I have that completely unlocked.
Ooh think i'm gonna play my first elusive target, im not that great at this game but i'm gonna give it a go, i got a bad habit of killing the targets close range and then running away and disguising, i can help myself.
Can i also add that i still haven't completed sapienza (sp?) but damn this is now my favourite game, im obsessed. Only had it 2-3 weeks

My SA run of the new Elusive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpj9LC1MWYU
I don't know why or how he was the one to chase the coin but it made it super easy.
Got my 5th Elusive SA, got my Winter Suit. Feeling good.
It really is kinda broken how poisoning counts as an accidental kill, or at least the body being found doesn't count. Maybe there's some in fiction justification for the way the poison works, but still. The lethal syringe is kinda the most deadly weapon in the game. Isolate the target out of view from everyone else for even two seconds and you have a ready-made SA.
Maybe Professional mode will alter that.

Also finally managed to finish this:
I got really close to fucking up with Novikov.

I activated the water overflow in the bathroom next to the stage exit to lure Novikov, I killed him, but forgot that the running water will just attract the next guy. I was actually stashing the body when a random model walked in to turn off the faucet. Luckily he was apparently so focused on the water that he didn't notice an Arabian sheik stashing a bloody corpse in a closet.
1 SA till winter suit, 8 ET's till Signature Suit with gloves.
This ET was fairly easy.
This ET was fairly easy.
Started as waiter with emetic poison vial as it seemed he would mingle and drink during the presentation, however after several rounds on the catwalk I changed to a emetic syringe, got rid of the waiter outside bathroom with a coin toss in the bathroom. Then I used a coin toss to get him of the route to poison him with the emetic syringe, and then drowned him as he started puking.

it still makes sense for poisoning to look like an accidental kill
though with that said, the poison syringe should be nerfed for that

SA, 4:06. Not sure if I even got recorded, so between that and just some vague time wasting, I probably could have shaved 40 seconds off of that. Oh well, Winter Suit baby! Here's to you, mysterious benefactor.
Lmao, I tried to get him over there with coins for an hour and gave up and tried my other method.

Pretty easy ET, did the same bathroom thing as some of you since it was kinda obvious after following him for a few minutes. He seems like a boring guy, would just do the catwalk then check tinder matches on his phone with rude comments. I think if you follow him some more maybe he'll eventually head to the guest area to mingle, but I wonder how long that would take.
Pretty sure someone could get like a 30 second time if they used a fire extinguisher and explosives, although I think you'd likely kill other people too. Also I wonder if dropping the light fixture on the stage would count as SA, but I don't know if there is a way to do it and not kill innocents (which will prevent SA).

It turns out it is possible if you evacuate the fashion show while the target is on stage and get a little lucky...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNFIsvy9K5A
...but this will make the mission unwinnable because the memory stick is buried under the rubble and unreachable.
He's just there in the bar area for a minute at best. Doesn't even drink anything in my run.
It took a while but after two or three walks on the catwalk he went out to mingle with the guests for me, and it was easy to take him out on the way.

After the show ends he goes outside and makes a phone call to a woman, blackmailing her when she apparently says she's not interested in seeing him anymore. Then he just goes back in and looks at himself in the mirror or looks at his phone.

Really easy target if you have the patience to wait a good 10 minutes.

I managed to steal defeat from the jaws of victory last ET when I forgot to pick up the Militia Leader's mask before attempting escape so I triple checked everything I was doing this time.
I wanted that Winter Coat.
Winter Coat get in like 4 minutes max.
Lured the blackmailer into the bathroom by the stage with coins, ensuring no-one was near on the radar. Modern lethal syringed him and stuck him in the cupboard, checking the radar at all times. As it was a poison kill I didn't need to hide the body but I was taking no chances.

Man, I'm so nervous to play this one because I basically have to get SA on these because I have all the suits but the Winter and the Tactical Cowboy (damn you Colorado) and the Hokkaido alternate costume.
I'm probably gonna use your guys advice.
