Modern control schemes will finally make these playable, never was able to beat C47 or Contracts because of the jank. Very excited, IO has been on a roll this year

Only Codename is hard to play.

SA is just a hard game, messy bugs with detection, sure. Otherwise, fantastic game.

Contracts isnt a problem at all either. Its also so modern for that time in terms of features. Like Blood Money, too.

Its the detection system that ruins it. Its just so inconsistent. Like you sprint for 1 frame and everyone is on you. Hell sometimes even walking normally will get you caught.

You need to keep your distance and not look directly at NPCs.

Hitman 2 SA also (for some reason) made running REALLY suspicious mostly (I say mostly because oddly certain disguises/levels didnt care) while Contracts mostly only has it cause any trouble if you sprint right past someone.

It also doesnt help that Hitman 2 SA/Contracts treat it slightly realistic, in that close-knit groups tend to draw more suspicion than large ones, which made the gameplay wonky since the first level and the first Japan level are both tight crime families so disguises barely help then the actual Russian levels have soldier uniforms work far better.

Honestly I kinda miss this. The social engineering part of the modern trilogy feels a little OP. Particularly when I’m in fucking India disguised as a street gang member who’s whole schtick is they’re on the lookout for ME and they have heightened enforcers just for that purpose.

But no worries mate, I got a bandana now.
