Hitman Next Gen

[bigbrick]

yeah, the rooftop bit.

[Marzipan Travolta]

You are smuggling your weapons into the White House in the tourist's suitcase, right?

The VP drops a desert eagle when you take him out anyway, so you can always just grab that.

Good shout. I hate taking in weapons - it feels better when I get in-kill-and out with nothing other than standard gear.

This level is giving me more trouble than any of the others combined, 's why it's the last one I guess.

[robdood]

Man, the White House stage is EEEEEEEEEvil!! It's the only one I never SA'd.

[Rudi von Starnberg]

Is it even possible to avoid the cameras on the White House stage? Or to steal the video tape? I never managed to do either.

Would these impact SA?

It's easy to steal the video tape while dressed as a marine.

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

I think being caught on camera harms the SA rating unless you get the tape back. Couldn't say where the tape room is either, could probably Forest Gump my way there but couldn't give directions.

Can't seem to get my head around the White House - might need to give it a break.

[Rudi von Starnberg]

Where is the video tape then?

I always assumed that because the cutscenes afterwards directly reference 47 being 'caught on camera', that not being able to avoid the CCTV or steal the tape was a storyline thing.

Backed up by the sheer number of CCTV cameras in the building.

[Teeohbee.]

CCTV tapes are usually in the security room. It's easy to steal it as the one occupant is looking the other way if i remember correctly.

[robdood]

You can see where the security room is on the map, iirc - isn't there a marker of some kind? Or am I making that up?

Also: for everyone EXCEPT Great Sage (and please don't read this, mega ending spoiler!)

PLEASE, NOBODY mention that he has that ace final bit coming!!! I am quite surprised he hasn't mentioned anything about the way the title screen changes... Eeee I loved that end bit!

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

No you might be right actually. There are rooms marked with a star (like a sherrif's badge), I thought that was just the guard room though but having the security tapes in there makes sense now you've said.

[Teeohbee.]

Hmmm you might be right, usually one of the ! markers.

[danbot]

I think the security room is the third door on your left inside the white house.

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

Right well I have absolutely no interest in work today now and want to go home and play hitman and eat skittles

Need to get it finished and read Dood's spoilerz

GREAT SAGE DON'T READ THIS EITHER!

I love taking the priest as a human shield as he strolls past the coffin. Evil x 10 B)

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

Grrrr

Still have 4-5 hours of shit before I can attempt Amendment XXV and read those spoilers.

This is like waiting for Christmas morning (before becoming an adult and opening presents whenever I feel like it).

[robdood]

Hehe, assuming you mange to do Amendment XXV, that is

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

I was close to completing it on my first go.

Problem was I went in with the shotgun and turned everybody into people-pate and I don't like to play like that.

If all else fails that's how it will be getting done though

[Teeohbee.]

Heh I didn't get SA on the Amendment level by a country mile, but it was still one of my favourite first-go missions.

Sniped the vice presidents dog from the rooftop as he took it out for a walk, causing him to look around wildly, panicing. He happened to look right in my direction just as I aligned my sights. I like to think that the last thing he saw was a bald man kneeling in the distance winking at him

I didn't realise the other guy ends up standing his ground and so sprinted after him, scared of losing him, shooting wildly as staff screamed and ran as the sprinklers came down. Was incredibly cinematic, with the music kicking in and everything, i was pumped!

SAGE DON'T READ THIS NEXT BIT

Hehe.... Requiem is one of the most awesome, surreal, grim last levels in a videogame ever. I suppose it's not really a level but just added for the fun of it all! I was laughing when I found that little stash of melee "weapons", but then my smile faded as the technically innocent reporter begged for his life... ...and then... ...hammer to the face...

[Karzee]

I haven't managed to SA the 'Amendment' level yet. My last attempt I didn't bother, I just put a bomb in the briefcase, left it for the woman to pick up, walked through the Whitehouse security, stood as far away as possible, and watched the ensuing carnage. The Marine's still call it 'Black Saturday'......so many body bags.

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

Finished!

Couldn't manage an SA rating, I'm sure I was on for it, but as I made my way to the entrance to pick up my suit and walk out - a guard found the FBI agent I had robbed the suit from, Gutted

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

Lol, it was awesome

I didn't notice the title screen changes at all, never paid much attention to it i'm an idiot. He is infront of Vegas atm, does it change with his locations?

Lols - I didn't even pay attention, I went for a coffee and rolled a J during the credits, came back to see the heartbeat / health rise just in time to get cremated. 2nd go was ace though

Melee weps? I just went John Woo on their asses, helped by the initial slow mo. And I greased the journo before he knew what was happening! It ended as I killed the priest, far shot of a hut, then checked into an oriental hotel - curtains - end...NO!

But seriously, how fudging ace was this! And to think I nearly chucked it after level 1

And lastly, back on topic - when can we expect another one?

[robdood]

re: the title screen:

It starts off showing the outside of the crematorium, every level you finish changes the view - by the time you reach Amendment XXV, you can basically see 47 in his coffin on the title screen! Amazed you didn't notice!

I did the exact same thing as you the first time the credits rolled, even down to the rolling

[Isaac]

Oh man, me 3!

I never actually noticed

the title screen, and I also left him to die the first time while I rolled

[Rudi von Starnberg]

re: the title screen:

It also has every single one of 47's targets in the crematorium. As the game goes on and you complete each mission, they disappear one by one until the place is almost empty.

[Majora]

I never noticed half of this stuff. I realised the title screen changed occasionally but not to this extent.

Yeah I'm pretty rubbish at noticing things to be fair. I've already started to try and clear on the higher difficulty levels. Would I need to start a new save to have the

title screen changes from scratch or do they adjust depending on the last level attempted?

[robdood]

I think they change dependant on the last stage cleared.

[Great_Sage_Equal_of_Heaven]

I've decided that I want to try and clear the achievements on this so I started again on Rookie, I know there is no "Rookie SA" achievement but I'm still trying to SA everything to keep my skills sharp - but on the Murder of Crows, Kulinsky is always appearing in the Jazz club but when I take him out his body always gets found and thus pisses on my cornflakes. I'm sure I didn't stash the body when I got an SA rating first time around and can't see anywhere to take it anyway. Onto the balcony - seen and attacked. Out onto the fire escape - seen and attacked

Maybe I should just let it go, but I refuse to let the game beat me on a lesser difficulty setting!

[R0b]

Thanks to the discussion in this thread I've bought the Hitman trilogy boxset on PC, which contains Hitman 2, Contracts and Blood Money.

Oh my it's good, and works particularly well with an N64 controller.
