blood money is still the best

[Lockout]

am i the only one who thinks this?
realistically the rebooted series should be better. the levels are overall way bigger/complex but i still think blood money is better because of the ost/difficulty, but that cant all be it can it?

The new games are technically more playable, but I think Blood Money is a more complete product than any new individual Hitman game. It also helps that Blood Money doesn't have an always online DRM measure to weaken the experience and was released at a time when games would have more levels, thus it feels like Blood Money has more meat to it. The new games have really impressive and awesome levels, Sapienza, Paris, Hokaido etc. are great, that being said, the newer games are more shallow if you do not replay them for further unlocks or different assassinations. They're different more unlock driven games.

That being said, I do wish Blood Money would get a remaster, it's got a cool style and it's like the only Hitman game where the use of Ave Maria meant something, but some of it could be modernised, like the controls or admittedly dated visuals, or at the least it would be nice to get a port to a handheld, the PS Vita had a great modding community from what I saw, wonder if they could somehow get this baby to work on the Vita.

personally I think hitman 1 (codename 47) is the best but it is Blood money which prepared the ground for the rest

damn straight it is doesn't even compete imo alone the ability to choose your loadout and customize weapons sells it i wish they brought it back

You're spot on with your assessment. Blood Money surpasses the modern series in so many ways. Notable aspects about BM is the physics, bullet trajectory, blood splatter impact, and human shield features that the new series failed to replicate. The pace of BM was also fluid. The newer games make you feel either rushed or forced to be patient. Whereas with Blood Money, you go at your own pace. Overall, Blood Money is an instant classic with more depth and intrigue than the previously released games.

the radar also cheapens the suspense when changing outfits

they really watered down this series to attract new players.. the new games is some 007 type knockoff instead of a hired killer executing people for money. Its definitely not the same dark game anymore... I also like Blood Money the most still

gots no atmopshere. 1-3 drowned you in atmosphere. blood money vaguely gestures at the thought of atmosphere, and the new games sit on the corpse of atmosphere like a throne

i mean, you can mess with options in the newer games to make it more difficult if you want. It's easier by default so newer players can play. But yeah, this is one of the best. The levels might be small and a bit bland to look at, but there's just a lot of things you can do

doesn't make any sense to make a single player game easier imo

Well, I'd say BM ost is quite ♥♥♥♥♥♥ for my taste (as with the new ones, the best one was in Contracts). It also kind of lacks geodiversity that has always been a feature on Hitman series. And then, of course, there are certain flaws in the gameplay.

Yet still, I do like this game, and it certainly is one of the best in the series, and I do miss some of its experience, such as unpunishable and easy accidents, gear improvement and customisation via earned money, or these sweet newspapers between missions!

you're not the only one :D

Yes, easily the best game in the frachise. I have a strong feeling last 3 games removed all the personality, unique atmosphere and story from the franchise, they feel more like map packs than actual AAA titles. It's like current IO understands gameplay, but doesn't understand everything else about its own franchise.

i think its a bunch of little things adding up to make it inferior to blood money
its the mini map/seeing enemies
it's the ost
its the quick change disguise
the sniper pistol (literally killing your targets from anywhere on the map, try this in a fresh playthrough of blood money)

Sorry if this counts as a necro, but coming from hitman 2 (new one) and spending a long time playing those games, Id like to hear what the value this game has in comparison, I see everywhere people calling this one the best one, and after playing the tutorial and a bit of the first mission (IK this isnt much, hence why im asking) but I dont feel it.. The movement and reaction from what I do feels rigid, the upgrade mechanics seem cool, but I dont know how much further they go with them.. again, you all seem better versed in the quality of this game, and I would like to see how/what makes it a better experience than the new line games?
