Beta Impressions (Hitman (2016))
Share :)I really liked it, in fact the game is such Blood Money 2.0 in terms of the structure of levels and variability, which is very, very cool.
The graphics are good, on PS4 the game gives out in the region of 60 fps, although if there is a crowd of people on the screen, then the fps falls, I hope they will correct at least a little in the release.
But in general - cool, I will buy.
Technically damp, too easy even for a tutorial, but it's great. Feels a lot like Blood Money 2, don't be fooled. Although I would have preferred Silent Assassin 2 or Contracts 2, I am quite happy with that.
It looks like the restart of the Hitman series was a success.
I bought all parts of the Hitman at a discount + pre-order a full pack, now I don't know when to play it.)

Hmm, for me medium and high textures are not available for some reason. At high 27 fps if you look at the yacht in the first mission at the start

C fps the same crap. But only I stand tall. Maybe because of the video memory? I just have 4gb. Beta for that and beta

I hope there will be no such trouble for the release, otherwise I will be sad, I waited so much for a normal hitman, otherwise the absolute was vyser from the series

Everything will be normal for the release. In the recommended gtx770 it costs, but it is 2 gigabytes.

I agree with you 1000% to your comment:
Passed beta, completing all achievements. And I can say that despite the fact that these are just two training levels - the game is the most natural Blood Money 2.0.
In the sequel, they returned all the chips that were in Blood Money and cut them out in Absolution, for example:
- Having found a corpse, the guards will not only raise the alarm, but also send one of the fighters to "pack" the body in a "corpse bag" and drag it away in the protection of the room (in Absolyushene guard just bent over the corpse, saying, "everything will be fine, everything will be fine - you get well!" and the sentence will be until the end of the mission!)
- If the NPC stunned, it has found its second NPC will try to wake up first (in Absolbshen - "everything will be chorus ...."
- Having found an ownerless weapon, the guard will pick it up and take it to a special box in the security room (in the Absolution, the guard stupidly put a bolt on a rolling firearm)
- From now on, you can only hide a "small" firearm, the 47th assault rifle will hang behind your back (which looks even cooler than in the classic parts, in which the 47th simply shifted the rifle to his left hand (well, or into the case, if there was one), I generally keep quiet about the Absolution)
- In the new part, the 47th is bent only by a couple of hits from a firearm, while while in the classical parts it withstood several straight lines. (47th dies even faster than in Codename 47 on hard, in Blood Money on professional difficulty, or in Absolution on difficulty legend) (I am silent about Silent Assassin and Contracts, there even on hard 47th was a walking tank)
- As in Hitman: Codename 47, there is no rating system, and "Silent Assassin" has been moved to the "Challenges" section, the conditions for obtaining it are the same as in Blood Money, except that all bodies must be hidden in boxes (the "Target" body can be do not hide)
- Coins are also back, there is no longer any need to throw any trash to distract attention, but their number is limited. Also returned are "sticky" mines, which can be attached to the surface of various objects in order to throw on someone's head.
- The camouflage system has been redesigned, now there is no such idiocy as in the Absolution. The game has the so-called "enforcers" who, so to speak, know the "personnel of the enterprise" and the strange bald man makes them suspicious. But there are not many of them at the level and it is easy to get around them, the main thing is to be careful (they are marked with a "white circle"). It somewhat resembles the system from Hitman: Silent Assassin (though there are no particularly vigilant guards with a circle)
- The "killer instinct" has also changed, now it performs the same functions as the map in the classic parts (that is, there is no function as in the Absolute " mark "enemies and shoot them in two seconds; there is no" fire path "showing the route of the NPC; and with the help of instinct will no longer work"
- Added a "quest" element, now, in order to spoil, say, the wiring, you need to find a wrench, and to throw a searchlight on the victim's head, you need a crowbar.
- There were "context-sensitive murders" like in Manhunt 2, for example, if the victim is standing near the toilet, 47 will drown her. (I'm sure more of these kills will be added in the full version)
- The size of the training levels is small, but the level in Paris from the Alpha version was just GIANT! I think that in the full version it will be even larger, since more than six months have passed since the release of the alpha.
So far, these are all my "observations", I do not regret that I pre-ordered Full Experience. I am sure that when all the episodes are released, the game will be a fierce wine that will plug even the legendary Blood Money into the belt.

I also completely agree with you. Also went through the entire beta, completing all the achievements.
A couple of notes on the topic of vyser about this part. Instinct and everything else that makes the game easier. Having climbed in the gameplay settings, I can say with confidence that if you don't need all this, and you dream of trying yourself in the role of a silent killer, you can safely turn it all off, not only is it just instinct, there you can almost completely turn off the entire HUD ...
And a note on completing the Silent Assassin achievement. The game dulls in beta, so there is no need to judge strictly, but the body will have to hide everything, even more so the "target's body". In addition, there is a special achievement "Silent Assassin, Suit Only", the same, and, above all other conditions, DO NOT CHANGE. It, as I think, in some levels will be very difficult to perform, in the final beta level it is quite simple to perform.

About tel. I hid the body of the soldier stunned by me, and then went up to the roof and threw the searchlight on Jasper's head. Then the guards jumped up "packed" him and dragged him away in an unknown direction. I went to the exit and I was still credited with the Silent Assassin.
When I was already getting the achievement "no changing clothes", I knocked out 5 guards outside, made my way into Jasper's room - knocked out the KGB-shnik in the outhouse, hid them. Distracted the guard by tossing the barrel at him. Then he strangled Jasper and hid him.
So I don't even know ..... it seemed to me that hiding the body of the "target" is optional.
It is not necessary to hide the body of the target IMHO if the murder is considered "accidental", such as flew away with the chair, the searchlight fell into the sky, or so on.
And so yes, a silent killer with a suit is performed here elementary - in 5 minutes you can fill up and dump from the level.

In the prologue, yes, easy. But I remember the level from the alpha ... and I don't even know how to get through there without changing clothes.

I went to the absaly on the legend without changing clothes a couple of three times. Here I think it will be generally more difficult. And the developers swore that very few people will pass on the legend of Absalyush simply laugh. Here is the Witcher 3 on hard and + Game + that's what I didn’t go through, and it’s very difficult.

You're cool. I tried to replay Absolution on the Expert .... and by the middle of the game the game pissed me off. Well, they fire so quickly that even with "Orthodox" dressing it is better not to get out of the shelters. Only on the “average†game somehow reminds the former Hitman.

Well, it is possible that I had a bug, when I killed Knight with the help of a projector, I did not count the "Silent Killer". By the way, after that, I don’t know the bug, I don’t know no, but I realized that 2 achievements "Silent assassin" and "Silent assassin, only costume" cannot be completed at the same time. Completed the mission 2 times in a row, without changing clothes, and nifiga, they just didn't count as "Silent Assassin". I thought that it was imperative to change clothes, and only after that they were counted.
Tell me who played on i3 (if there are any), how is the game going in general? Should you buy?
There are a lot of bugs, and the most unpleasant thing is that people do not walk along the level by themselves, but only when the player approaches them or has to do something. Because of this, some scripts do not work, and as a result, instead of improvisation, an endless wait.
