Hitman Demo

How the fuck does one beat this game? Chop town once you kill a bunch of guys, no matter what if you got a weapon other than a pistol you get attacked. If you spend all your time killing/dragging corpses, as fun as it is the baddie leaves...you die a lot easy.

Looking forward to the full version, or the real demo. If someone gots a walk through (it runs just to damn slow to try everything my self), hook a sistah up.

Who are all you people and why aren't I having fun?

I feel a sudden urge to kill myself.

This place went to hell after I left...

*sigh*

whats the dilly on this demo?

any good?

Ok I tried to like this game.
First off, it appears there is no way to hide the shotgun, so they attack you instantly if you hide it. Turning just doesn't feel right. It would have been better first person.

The AI isn't all that good. The guys couldn't figure out how to walk around a dumpster.

I uninstalled it when I ran into a telephone pole while running away
from the enemy and clipped into it, getting stuck. Getting stuck in things just really pisses me off.

What the hell? Are those sprites?

Can anyone run it under Win2k or is it just me ?

Very quick write up.

Didnt have a problem with the controls one bit. With every game, there is things to get adjusted to, but overall I thought they were fine. The level was a little small, but I suppose that was to keep the game demo at a minimum for modem users. Gameplay was fun, reminded me of Thief in a way, and that was a good thing. Gfx were great on my p3-450 TNT2U rig, although I did experience a good deal of slowdown in certain parts. (I left the settings at defualt) Otherwise, I'm looking forward to picking up this game in the near future.

Any big reason most of you monkies aren't interested to even try this game?

mirror up on ominous' ftp.

Gotta love the mini-thumbnails

Anyone know of any fast mirrors for this damn thing? Or can someone send me the file or something...?

Hoo-boy, this demo rocks--pretty pretty. I don't know anything about the game... does it have a set release date?

Just illustrating my musical tastes to the world, the same as Pup/madgrad/'whoever".

(pup ripoff)

I find that if ya detonate the car as it goes by the other triads (near where ya start), you can kill em all there. And the only other guy i killed was the limo driver, and one dude who survived the blast. All the red dragon guys were still alive

damn i love the sniper rifle in this game

What did it for me with the inverted mouse thing.. Wing Commander. Sure, i was using a Flightstick, and not the mouse.. But the mechanics were the same. Then on to WC2, and then Xwing.. Also what was that WW2 game? Battle of the Pacific or something? That was awesome.

Since then it's been inverted or nothing. I've given Hitman about 2 hours worth of play and I've came to this conclusion -

They gave us an impossible mission for the demo. If you've got to "kill everyone" in the full version, I'm not going to buy it. I'll juarez it like everyone else will and if when it's officially released, and I've still not had to "kill everyone" (wtf type of hitman has to KILL EVERYONE on a level?!) by then it will be bought. If so, fuck 'em.

Ok, after playing this game for a few hours, I've pretty much figured out how it plays. You have to play *smart*. This means really thinking about what they said in the pre-mission briefing: Kill all the *blue* dragon members. You don't ever need to get into the restaurant. If you need more explanation, here's what I do:

As soon as the demo starts, I run forward into the alley, then take the first right. I stay near the corner of the building, leaning over so i can see the street. A guard passes you on your right, as soon as he passes by (and isn't looking at you anymore) whip out the silenced pistol and shoot him in the head. Wait till the guard on the right runs towards him, then cap him in the head too. Then wait till the final guard on the left runs to the body of the 2nd. Cap him too. The AI is pretty dumb here...if you take too long, it says 'a guard finds the body of another guard' but don't worry about that, once you cap the third guy, no ones looking for you.

Put away your pistol, and wait for the limo driver to start pissing. Wait for the civilian to turn the corner, then garrote the limo driver. Steal his clothes, and dump his body in the sewers. I've had the ladders bug up on me twice, but I noticed it's ONLY when I'm still in 'stealth' mode. Head back to the street where you killed the 3 guards, ignore the civilians looking at the bodies, they don't do shit. Head to the back corner where the limo started from. The four men in blue here are your targets. Do the same thing here that you did for the first 3 guards. Stand behind the wall, lean out, and use your silenced pistol on the far right guard. Wait for the others to run to his body, then shoot them too. Don't forget to wait for the 4th guard, he comes after you shoot the other 2. Head shots are key here.

Walk towards the limo, and stand near the drivers door. Once the blue guard is facing away (not sure if this matters) take out the car bomb and select 'plant it'. As soon as you do this, walk to the far street and turn the corner. Take out the radio controller for the bomb, and lean out. Once all the men are inside the car, blow it the hell up. Mission accomplished.

It seems a lot harder than it really is, I suspect once we're used to the style, the game is still difficult, just not impossible. Personally, I was glad for the challenge, the game is sweet. Other than a few (minor) control issues, and the mouse-invert thing (which I don't use, but used to, so I can see how that would irritate people), the game is looking excellent. This isn't the only way to complete the level by far, but I've tried it many different ways (all out attack, and whoever threw down the gauntlet, asking if anyone could kill every person in the level, I did!). Attacking them all-out still requires a lot of strategy, and then adding the sniper rifle is a whole new ballgame. Phew...long ass post.

PSSSH. SOMEONES SCREWED UP.

Yeah here's where I get stuck.

Driver takes a piss, i piano wire him and take him to the sewer. There's usually a civilian nearby, so I cap him too. Sewers with him. I drop down there, get in the drivers clothes. Walk back towards the sewer, wait til Chan or whoever gets in the car then blow them up. They're looking for a "suspicious driver" at this time. I drop down, change into the civilians clothes and head over towards the sniper rifle. I use the silenced whatever to take out two dragon members near the restraunt and take their clothes and some uzi's. About this time, still nobody is onto me but if i walk in the restraunt with no weapon and in guard clothes I get attacked. I've tried changing to the 'personal guard' clothes, but still same result. H E L P ?

Oh and all you inverted mouse players.... wtf? Play like a normal human being....

heehee

must....invert..........mouse..to.......live

i'm d/l it now - but if i find that i cant INVERT THE MOUSE i'm going ot be really pissed off..

i cannot play a game unless the mouse has been inverted

This game is made in Denmark =)

Damnit...

My roommate got drunk earlier tonite.... he put some of MY beer in the freezer since it wasnt cold. Naturally, he forgot about it and it froze. Now, if it was some kind of 'horse piss', like Millwaulkee's Best or Natural Lite, I wouldnt care. But it was 'The one and only' Newcastle Brown Ale. And that pisses me off.

Ah well, no since cryin' about frozen beer.

*sober tonite

/me laughs at all the strange inverted mouselook people. :P

--Valiance--

This demo is fun.... but NOT having 'invert' option on mouse is just plain stupid. Also, for me, keymaping on the KEYPAD does not work well at all. #4 will not take to a 'strafe left' setting, it stays at 'turn left'.

Oh well, I hope they fix it... b/c taking the time to re-learn a 'non-inverted' mouse will just totally fuck my Quake game up... and I just cant do that.

Jesus enough with the "Runs great on my 1ghz athlon GF2" for Christs sake. I'm jealous!!!!!
