Hitman Season 2 confirmed at PGW
- Thread starter LordOfLore
- Start date
Not to mention the online only nature of the game. Really annoying.

It's not gonna happen anyway. Speeding up those clockwork worlds with hundreds of NPCs would be pretty taxing, I assume.

I would also like to see a fast forward effect, maybe a subtle one (like 1.3x normal speed) that you can trigger while in instinct mode. Instinct mode currently makes everything slower, which means if you want to watch your target walk around the map while you wait everything will take longer.

People have been crying for briefcase and A.I detecting blood pools.. and we still dont have any of the two yet. Ofcourse its not happening. It would be cool to have an option though.

It's time to buy the upgrade to full experience of the first season. I really hope that the second season won't be just the same locations but with new missions and targets.
It probably won't.
I imagine what they mean is that some ETs will drop in Season One locations as Two is out.
And maybe Bonus Episodes may involve revisions to S1 content, like a nighttime Paris or something.

Imagine Paris as just a museum without the fashion show.
This is my first Hitman game and I love it. It was pretty simple to grasp, plus they give you some tutorial style missions to start with. That, and the Opportunity system helps you explore and figure out the maps.

What I hate about this release model is that you miss game content like the exclusive targets if you don't buy the season pass immediately. I waited until all the episodes were out and I'll probably get S1 during one of the holiday sales since I want to have the entire experience at once instead of broken up over months.

Please no more Paris elusive targets

You'll still get quite a few ET's before S2 going by what we've found out(
35 unused ones found in the code the last time someone looked but they've ramped up them so there's one a week now

My biggest concern is that season 2 will be held back by the season 1 foundation. Like we won't see much stuff different in terms of graphics or what is possible from a gameplay perspective.

Season 1 is officially over (although one bonus episode is still coming). There is plenty to play before it releases.

I hope they have some smaller, more diverse locations or revisit some classic levels rather than 3 gigantic similar maps.

Gameplay wise they already said they will keep on improving it. I would not be surprised if they release human shield as a free update when Season 2 comes. Graphic wise, maybe not, but the game looks awesome as it is now. It's one of the few games even today that manages to add mirror reflections that actually reflects everything in the room. On Bangkok you can even see a water mirror reflection working.
Next elusive target will be in Paris!
This is something I'm a bit worried about as well. With Season 2 being run through the same launcher and all.
The game could really use something like SSR. Characters walking on reflective floors look so weird in this game.

Wonder if it will have a discount for Season 1 holders.

I think speed vs. difficulty is the main tradeoff in this game anyway. Opportunities are easy but slow, and you have to make your own openings if you want to be fast.
Anyone else making your own list of feature suggestions and requests for season 2? If you've been doing the surveys, you know they'll be asking about that soon enough.

They would just get yelled at for that, so probably not

Woo! I've been eagerly hoping the second season would get confirmed. Hitman is an outstanding game, and I'm glad they're continuing to support it. I'll be there in full, day one.
The unlocks that start you at a different location and give you a disguise right away already function as a fast forward really.

If you'd told me this would be the case after Hitman Absolution, I'd have laughed and laughed and cried.

Paris mission at night would be cool.
After that shitshow, I'm happy they didn't end up getting closed down, and having their last game be a terrible Hitman game.

The episodic model works so well with the type of game Hitman is, each level is dense with detail and so much more that having the time between episodes to dedicate to that one area is awesome, not to mention the elusive targets that keep even the older maps fresh in rotation.

Season 2 needs a halloween level.

The full season was on sale for $38.08 on Amazon for like, an entire month.
Anyone who didn't hop in then...well...
You're not missing much, the elusive targets are pretty throw away compared to the actual meat of the game.
I got the preorder for PC for 15$ . I feel bad for paying so little lol , I already have over 400 hours on it and will still have a fee hundred more.
