Even the voice actors on the new levels have accents appropriate to the locations, which was a small detail that always caused a break in immersion for me when everyone in all of the various international locations had the same accent, often spoken by the same voice actor. Don’t want to make things too easy for Agent 47, after all.Įverything, it seems, has been gone over with a fine-toothed comb and improved to a certain degree. Also, earning weapon unlocks in either campaign under the new title allows you access to that weapon in the rest of the game, so it makes sense to have to unlock those things again rather than just have immediate access to all the best equipment right away. Though it wasn’t ideal, I actually think this was the right choice by IO Interactive because it forces you to engage with the new gameplay mechanics on each level. The only thing that was initially frustrating to me was that none of the unlocks or mastery levels attained from HITMAN carried over to the legacy pack levels. Even better, if you purchase the “Legacy Pack” upgrade you can also go back and replay the first campaign, whose levels have all been remastered and brought up to speed with all of the new gameplay mechanics and graphical improvements that come with the second game’s updated engine.Īfter completing the introductory level for the new campaign, the first thing I did was to go back and revisit a few of my very favorite levels from the initial game, and I was very pleased to see just how much they had been refined and improved over their initial versions.

It seems that IO Interactive’s approach to this game was to listen to their fans as much as they could. Well, with HITMAN 2, the fans have been given what they wanted…and more.

Subtitled “World of Assassination”, the game doubled down on the openness and freedom from its predecessors and created vast, detail rich environments for Agent 47 to explore and discover interesting, creative ways of finalizing his contracts. In 2016, the franchise found new vigor in HITMAN. online-only content.The HITMAN franchise has existed since November of 2000 and has gone through many evolutions and iterations of the idea of living as an elite assassin.

Most mods are usually named "chunk0patchX" in ".rpkg" format with the "X" being a number. The "Runtime" folder will be the location where you place the mods, which is where the game's assets and patches are and the game's been programmed to load up assets and patches from that folder. \Steam\steamapps\common\HITMAN2\Runtime\Once you got your "packagedefinition.txt" file patched/replaced, mods can be loaded in the game.
