  • this is the Hitman Contracts main menu scene, perfectly synched and looped, so it repeats seamlessly, ideal to use as video wallpaper or to keep listening to it if you're a big fan.
    Thanks to Akane Tutszulor (ua-cam.com/channels/fvh.html..., who did the awesome mod that removes text from the main menu of the game

      Absolution was a great change the game needed, I loved blood money and contracts the most but for some reason absolution makes me nostialgic and i wanna re play it....I loved the mechanics, AI response, Graphics , story (especially the nuns mission)...The mission were way too better than playing those plane kill-a-target only missions of rest of the games....However I do gotta admit the checkpoint system and map display sucked...totall 9.7 game for me! They should definetly make Absolution 2 with minor changes in gameplay...no wondwr why Absolution was their best seller!

      For me every Hitman game has something unique to offer. Codename 47 for it's more shooting oriented gameplay and unique rating system (kill any enemies but no police/civilians or lose all your money), Silent Assassin for it's epic, somewhat heroic story and soundtrack, Contracts for it's gloomy and sinister atmosphere, Blood Money for it's unique physics and rating system that lets you kill anyone as long as it was an accident, (Haven't played Absolution), and WOA for it's absurdly complex worldbuilding and super creative gameplay.

      @@arturoc8082 Oh only now I see your comment.
      I love all of them.
      I started with new H2 (the 2016 levels), and still play it the most since I only have the disk to new H3, but not the console. I then started to play blood money, and lost interest at some point, while starting to play contracts, and finished it. Then I went back to BM, and was much more entertained, and finished it (except the secret ending, which I just can‘t beat with my computer). Finally I played through silent assassin, which (when in the correct mindset) was the most fun I had with the old Hitman titles (first time contracts could hold up), but I few times had to use a walkthrough, or just blew everything away.
      SA has the most tension of all of the games, and I love it. I don‘t mind the guards being so suspicious, but critique the sloooww sneak speed. I also love the weapons system that game, and no other has. The music is awesome, although all have the same structure.
      Contracts atmosphere is beautiful in beldingford manor, traditions of the trade, and the Hong Kong missions, but the others looking back are a little to overkill for me. The sneaking speed is the best in the series, but much of the tension has been reduced, and from here on out, you can‘t transport out any weapon when your careful. The music is incredible.
      In BM the tension is pretty much completely removed, and replaced by freedom, and the attempt at notoriety (cool idea, but not very well executed). I like the freedom in the new Hitman games a little more, because you have more, and balanced ways to manipulate the AI there. It‘s a good game with great ideas, but most things, I connect with Hitman aren‘t here (but I can still see why so many people love it).
      The new Hitman has some of the best level design I‘ve ever seen. The levels may not have as many ideas as BM, but executes them better in my experience. The verticality, diversity, and depth (there are so many stories, and details on each map) is just stunning to me. This game (as I said earlier) also has the most ways to manipulate the AI, so that I feel brilliant while playing it. A master manipulator at his work. It also has new layers of the level you have to think about, like not being able to climb with your briefcase (those things don‘t take away freedom since there always is another way to get there). The only thing I can‘t stand is the always online component.
      If I had to define the feeling of Hitman there‘d be two answers for two periods. One is the feeling of tension that your plan will work, and the other is the feeling of mischief forming, and improvising on your plans.
      Going from all of that, my personal ranking is:
      1. new H2

      ​@@nerdineverythingnerdinnoth4984 The WoA trilogy sucks if you ask me. 47 is supposed to be exactly that: a emotionless and ruthless killer designed for one thing: assassinating his targets in the most elaborate ways possible and remaning unseen.
      Meanwhile, the WoA trilogy throws that out of the window and adds some stupid, Deus Ex contrived conspiracy plot. If I wanted a stealth conspiracy game I'd boot up the original Deus Ex. Let me kill people in silence and don't give me some stupid conspiracy plot that has been done to death, please.
      The shady shit IOI has been pulling lately with Hitman III doesn't help either.

      @@Wasmachineman Well, of course it isn’t as great as SA, but I don‘t find the story that horrible, and must tell you that 47 always had minimal outlets of emotions (his care for animals, or his admiration for Vittorio). And it wasn‘t as bad as in absolution from what I‘ve heard. It was at the very least acted well. The stories that blow anything out of the water in comparison are the ones that play within the levels (just look what‘s going on in Mumbai as an example).
      You still can silently kill your targets, and even ghost most levels, which is something no other Hitman game was consistently able to do.

    They need to bring back this atmosphere into hitman games and for the love of god bring back Jesper Kyd for the ost.

      The new games aren't as dark as the old ones. They want the tone to be grand and eccentric, that's why the themes are grand orchestras instead of these dirty cold beats. There's a reason they changed the tone when they rebooted it.

I never played Codename 47 so it had even more mystique for me playing the aftermath of the asylum bloodbath. Although the local languages spoken was limited, it still felt like I was travelling around the world. Maybe it was just my imagination filling in the gaps. Anyhow, really hope to see Jesper Kyd work on whatever the next iteration of Hitman is.

    • @WindBendsSteel
      @WindBendsSteel  6 років тому +12

      It is actually Ort-Meyer, it's textures are the same as the body in the starting scene, and, if you play Codename 47, the room (his office) actually has windows and looks exactly like the menu in Contracts, despite him being killed in the underground, that's the only discrepancy in the game, however, Contracts is set inside 47's conscience, so i guess that could be overlooked. In his mind he put his creator's body in his office as a logical association, something like that.
