Hitman 2

Sounds like another hit. I've already pre-downloaded trouble is I`m on early shift so I know I will pay the price if I stop up playing this.
 
Interesting video from Digital Foundry comparing how the old levels look in Hitman 1 versus playing them in Hitman 2. Lighting is quite different.

 
Still haven't gotten past the first map in New Zealand, I love the attention to detail. the house, as well as looking gorgeous feels lived-in, the glass of wine left here things lying around, the attention to detail is excellent.

Also love the way you can do it so many different ways, great creativity.
 
I enjoyed the 2016 Hitman game but stopped playing about 8 months ago. I didn't realise they were working on a sequel so when I saw it I got it from one of the cd key sites for £25. In the meantime I finished the original game and it really was enjoyable.

Just played the first mission in the new game and was very impressed at the subtle graphical and gameplay improvements.
 
Yes and apparently there are some Hitman 2 gameplay updates to the Hitman 1 maps in it as well.

Really looking forward to the rest of this, it looks, feels and plays very well so far.

Nope, for some reason they left it out. Same with the gun grab move. They still have that stupid quicktime thing carried over from Absolution when you fight unarmed, which does need to go :(

The briefcase is in though and it's probably the best weapon in the game. Basically a club disguised as a briefcase :D

But the game is really good, it's a LOT more polished than the 2016 one. Plus they actually hired proper voice actors for the NPCs this time, so people all over the world don't sound like the same 3-4 Americans. The soundtrack is better, as is the game's overall atmosphere.

Ok finally found everything in the intro in New Zealand - love that house, it's like the house at the start of john wick! Great little intro.

Started Miami, first time I did it, both kills were hilarious! ;) Miami map seems amazing, so much to explore.
 
Well impressed with the Miami map, I’ve done it three or four times now and feel like I have still only scratched the surface. Some of the stories are great fun.

The ‘accident’ kills are hilarious when you get them right. :D
 
It's a shame that sales figures for Hitman 2 are so low but it's too expensive for what I'd put in to it. I barely finished the first one and I only played each level the once. It's quite amusing reading @Rezident posts above about doing the maps 3-4 times.
 
Not sure what's amusing, I did levels in 1 multiple times as well. There's quite a lot to each of them. I plan to do the same with this one when I get it.

Well i think everyone knows it will probably be half price for Xmas and most are waiting for that

Most of people who play Hitman games (my self included) play through the levels many, many times, trying out all the different ways to assassinate, doing contracts etc. It's not a game to play through once and then you're done. You can do that, but you're missing the point entirely.
