If they had just released this all as one game it could have been a GOTY nominee cause this shyt is crackrocks with honey drizzled cracksauce sprinkled on it...
The way I killed the scientist dude in Spinoza is a top 5 moment in gaming to me...
The way I killed the two dudes in the revolution stage where you can act like a cameraman is top 10...
Still can't be revolving my life around an elusive target though

Hitman
On January 31st, we will release HITMAN - The Complete First Season on a physical disc. On the same date, we will release our January Update, which is mandatory for all players and includes improvements across the board, including a new difficulty level, HDR support and many features or improvements that were requested by our community. Thanks for your continued support and for providing us with feedback.
As well as the physical disc release of the game, there are a few other items that will be released or made available for purchase on January 31st 2017.
- Our 3rd bonus mission, 'Landslide' will be released at no extra cost for owners of The Complete First Season / Upgrade Pack.
- The 'Original Soundtrack' and 'Making Of Documentary' will be made available for all players. After downloading the January Update, follow the in-game instructions (top-left tile of the 'Featured' Hub) to link your profile to the Square Enix Members service, as this is how the content will be made available. Steam players will see both items added to their accounts automatically.
- The 'HITMAN - Requiem Blood Money Pack' will be made available for individual purchase, after previously being given to all players who pre-ordered the game. This pack includes 3 in-game items; 'Legacy Requiem Suit', 'Silenced ICA-19 Chrome pistol' and the 'Pale Duck' explosive item. As per the above image, this pack is also included with the SteelBook Edition of the game.
For players who prefer to purchase individual episodes with the Intro Pack:
- The 'Bonus Episode' (formerly called Summer Bonus Episode) will be made available for individual purchase. The Bonus Episode includes 3 bonus missions: 'The Icon', 'A House Built on Sand' and 'Landslide'. Pricing will vary according to region, but will closely match the established cost of an individual episode.
Here are the release notes for our January Update, also known as 1.9.0 as per the in-game menu.
January Update Release Timings
The HITMAN January Update releases worldwide across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC on January 31st 2017.
The update will be available at approximately 12:00 UTC and there will be a short maintenance period either side of that to support the release of this new content. Updates on the maintenance period will be posted via the official HITMAN Twitter account. We expect the download size for the January Update to be 1.8GB on PS4, 8.1GB on Xbox One and 2GB on PC.
Please note: The January Update is required in order to access the Professional Difficulty Level, the Landslide Bonus Mission and all of the changes noted below. Also, the 'Bonus Episode' and the 'HITMAN - Requiem Blood Money Pack' are scheduled to be made available for individual purchase at the same time as the update.
January Update Release Notes
Bonus Mission: Landslide Overview
For details of the two other Bonus Missions, first released in July 2016, see the release notes.
- New Bonus Mission: Landslide (Sapienza)
- 5 new Guided Opportunities for “Landslide"
- 1 new weapon/gear unlock (earned through challenges)
- The Big One- 35+ Landslide-specific challenges
- 3 new trophies/achievements for Landslide
General Improvements
Professional Difficulty Level
We've added an entirely new difficulty level: Professional.
Professional Difficulty Level offers extended replayability, new game features, a separate mastery track with unique rewards, tweaked game mechanics and new AI behaviour that combine to create an entirely new experience for all players. For full details on this exciting new addition, take a look at our dedicated blog post.
Bonus Mission: Landslide
The January Update enables access to the third Bonus Mission, Landslide, for owners of the Complete First Season or Upgrade Pack.
Landslide is also available through the 'Bonus Episode', which is now being sold individually on all platforms and includes all three Bonus Missions.
Improved Menu Navigation
We've made it easier to navigate between all the content in game and get to where you want to be faster.
HDR Support
If you've got the right TV, HITMAN will now offer HDR support on PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One S and PC.
*See below for more details relating to HDR Support on PC.
Contract Favourites
We've added functionality that will allow you to add any created Contract to 'My Favorites', allowing you to easily find the Contracts you have enjoyed the most.
Modified Attention Gain Modifiers
We have adjusted the attention gain modifiers so that instead of NPCs instantly focusing on 47 when the attention gain starts, a threshold has been introduced to give a window of opportunity in which to hide. This change reduces the times where briefly entering an NPCs peripheral vision would cause the player to become spotted.
Illegal Item Warnings
We've added an exclamation mark status to suspicious or illegal items, so that players know whether picking them up in front of an NPC will cause a reaction. This is similar to the status indicator that is shown before performing an action.
On-screen Mission Timer
We've added an option to the 'Gameplay' menu that will allow you to display an on-screen Mission Timer to keep track of the mission playthrough time. The Timer will be restarted when the contract is restarted or replanned but will continue from when a save game is loaded. The Mission Timer is a separate HUD option that is toggled independently. This option is designed for competitive play.
Disable Autosaves
We've added an option to the 'Gameplay' menu that will allow you to turn off autosaves. Manual saves will still be available. Autosaves will be set to 'on' by default.
Added Colorado 'Hidden Hand' cutscene to the 'Story' Menu
The Colorado 'Hidden Hand' cut-scene has been added to the 'Story' Menu. This description is purposefully vague to avoid any possible spoilers.
Notebook Improvements for Contract Creation
When creating a contract, the 'notebook' page now shows the cause of death and used disguise for marked and eliminated targets.
Contract History Filter
In the 'Contracts History' menu, you can now filter the Contracts between 'All', 'Completed' and 'Failed'.
Contracts Search Improvements
We've added more options to the Contracts Search menu. You can now select from four 'Disguise' options. You can also select 'Any method' for how the target was killed.
Get Your Suits In Order
We've revised the order that suits are shown in the menus to make them more consistent and logical across all locations.
Loadout Details
The Loadout screen now displays the amount of each item that will be equipped. For example "x3" is displayed on the icon for coins, because you will have 3 coins.
Pistol-kill Sound Effect
With a previous update, we introduced a subtle sound effect that played with a pistol kill. Based on player feedback, we've removed the high-pitched part of this sound effect.
Loud Disguises
We have fixed an issue that made some disguises extremely loud, particularly those with additional cloth such as a chef's apron.
Option to Adjust Subtitle Size
We've added an option to the 'Language' menu that will allow you to choose the exact size of the subtitles.
Choose Settings at Start-up
We've added a one-time boot screen that allows you to select graphics options, such as HDR, and language/audio options when you initially launch the game. These options can later be found in the Options menu.
Escalation Contract Images
We've updated some of the objective/complication images for Escalation Contracts to give them a unified style.
Brightness Adjust Settings
When you're changing settings such as brightness in-game, we've removed the menu so you can see exactly how the changes will look during gameplay.
Pull an Enemy, Part 3.
In this update, we've (finally) added the ability for 47 to pull people over balconies or out of windows, when he is hanging on a ledge or below the balcony/window. Anyone who sees this will react accordingly.

Professional Difficulty is no joke 
wrench, screwdriver, etc are now "suspicious items", unless you have an appropriate disguise
if you have a disguise that allows weapons, you can't be seen with the 'wrong' weapon (silenced pistol)
a lot less items to be found. the amount of npc's, and their routes, have been tweeked
no autosaves, and only one manual save
I barely made it through Paris
bout to check out Landslide...
