Pitch me your idea for a level

>>713439305 (OP)
okay lets get the big "tony hawks secret level ideas" out the way first here:
>Airport
>Cruise Ship
>Theme Park
>School/School II/College
>in SPACE !!!

okay now that's out the way I'm gonna think about this for a little bit, thank you

>>713439487
>Cruise Ship
they kinda did that in BM

>>713439305 (OP)
Cowboy town with saloon and general store

Furry convention.

>>713439305 (OP)
another one with a ton of snow. A mix of the final test in hitman 1 and the hokkaido mission. maybe having to infiltrate some fictional not-russia country's snowy military base to take out a general or something

A renaissance fair

>>713439305 (OP)
have they done president candidate rally?

>>713439305 (OP)
okay okay okay I think I've got it
it's kind of meta, kind of cheeky, plays with some of the topical things happening right now
>the map is a Ubisoft style video games company based in an obnoxious but not necessarily french or french-canadian accent land
>there's three overlapping layers to the map where the main targets do their rounds inbetween
>the CEO of the company stays in the business offices on the top, occasionally making a detour to a "relaxation room" full of plants and obnoxious postmodern furniture or doing lines in a bathroom stall on his way to a meeting in the boardroom
>some asshole game dev is trying to push his idea about remaking a beloved game and everybody hates it but he's forcing his department to remake the whole game anyway, he's generally micromanaging in the labs where there are nerds he can berate all day, aside from being called upstairs to be screamed at by the CEO, who isn't happy with the progress being made
>bottom layer of the offices is the reception and recreation rooms where annoying millennials play ping pong and eat pizza and make shitty tiktok reels of their day at work at a games company lol, this is where some sleazy games journalist is waiting for an interview with the game dev who is pushing his idea for a remake
>you can arrange it to get all three in one room at the same time by messing around with the schedule in the reception computers in order to get a kill on all three at once
>if the alarm is triggered, the safe area is on the roof, but only the game dev and CEO go there

so it'd basically be like the Black Flag present-day sequences, but not shit
and relevant!

>>713439653
>>713440019
love these

>>713440206
this is pushing it

>>713439487
In 2016 in the surveys I pitched a train level that starts in a train station. trigger the train or wait for long enough and the target gets on; if you're still in the station you lose. But that was one thought of many regarding actual npc schedules instead of proximity triggers and such.
But that was also at a time when they still had separate camera circuits.

>>713440387
that's really cool too
it's a level in two parts
part one is this train station of a suitable size and you have to find the information about which platform
part two is getting on the right train and isolating the target to get the kill

love that
there's so much you can do with the WoA as a base game
happy IOI got a chance to do a bond game but I want more hitman levels, like this, that's just neat

>>713440206
Blood Money Nawlins level

>>713440378
That's just a bunch of ideas stolen from existing HITMAN levels under an edgy poltard mantle.
I support killing Ubisoft CEOs though.

>>713440378
Cringe.
Any level of security on this map would be sticking out.

>>713440206
>>713440378
Blood Money already has VP as target

>>713440631
>I support killing Ubisoft CEOs though.
really that's the most important part
a game developers offices could work well as a level though
I'm trying to think about the levels of permission and how the routes of the targets would interact with each other to create a cozy map where you can shoot game developers and journalists, yes
yes that was the point
lol

>>713440705
they do on every other map
besides that's just off the top of my head
I like hitman level idea threads so you can all come up with something better now

>>713439305 (OP)
>big courtroom/justice building
>important trial taking place
>47 can influence trials here and there by stealing and/or planting evidence
>or take the place of a judge, or an attorney

Isle of Sgail, but this time without wasted potential.

Khandanyang

Assassinate a member of the Po family

>>713441058
Damn anon.
I didn't know such shit taste can exist.

>>713441041
I've only played WoA so far, but I intend on playing the rest of the series.
Is that level as dynamic as I described (or more)?

>>713439305 (OP)
47 has to go undercover in a concentration camp to kill the 7 digit tattoo holders

>>713441165
>Is that level as dynamic as I described (or more)?
Can't remember, but Absolution in general was pretty tube-y

>>713441041
they also did a suburb level twice though
nothing wrong with updating a concept with some better gadgets and fun disguises
IOI writing can be cringe but it's good cringe, I'd watch expert witness 47 deliver a testimony about mortality
he'd probably know what he's talking about

>>713441179
a prison camp would actually be a great level though
it already has the clearly defined uniforms

>>713441165
it doesn't even have a target, it's just "sneak through this section to the next level"

>>713440975
>This remote island that the rich use for their morbid goals is filled with...
>le white climate denialists!
The horror.
If the story wasn't such a toothless cuckery the new trilogy would be GOATed.

>>713441412
that sounds kinda boring and completely not the point of what I described as a level suggestion

>>713439305 (OP)
Country club of cuckold's clowns college

Amusement park / Zoo

agatha christie type closed circle mission where guests are dying one by one on an island mansion during a storm and you sneak in to kill the orchestrator. it's possible to save or accelerate the death of guests to change how the mission plays out and all in all this level will be impossible to make because the npc interactions alone would be more involved than an entire hitman game

>>713441420
>it's another "brainfried poltard who has never played the game is being retarded" episode
Really getting tired of this. I propose a level where 47 tortures some chud. The twist is that he is supposed to be looking for a "white supremacist", but can only find brown people.

>>713441654
they had a hippo in Columbia in WoA
that's a proof of concept for a Zoo but it also might be a coding nightmare
what are they just gonna pull animal ai out of their ass or just make them uninteractive set pieces that fall over when you shoot them once?
sounds simple but a fully interactive zoo with multiple animal based assassinations would be a mess

>>713440019
Surprised they haven't done this yet. Seems like such an obvious pick now that you mention it.
>historic weapons
>medieval costumes
>guillotines and props to be rigged

>>713441757
lol I'm just gonna make 47 sit in a comfy chair until there's only one person left, then I'm going to shoot that guy and leave
good concept, needs refinement

>>713439305 (OP)
a cross between isle of sgail, haven island, hawke's bay and colorado in terms of gameplay where you're supposed to infiltrate a lab hanging on top of a cliff and have to climb on scaffolding, cliffs and steel support pillars in order to avoid direct combat
basically hl2 lost coast but at dusk
btw i've dreamt of this literally last night

>>713441654
>sabotage rollercoaster
>sneaking in ghost house

Yes, kino

>>713442006
>Agent 47 puts on a black knight costume and he thoroughly murders the white night in a jousting match
fucking kino

yeah
that guy had a great idea
love that

>>713439305 (OP)
A warzone, you can infiltrate the target's side and assassinate them, infiltrate the other group and send them into an assault, sabotage equipment, fuck with intel to lead the target into a trap, use long range missiles after you've deactivated the others defense mechanism.

>Find out a clone, one of your brothers, is still alive.
>Somehow managed to vanish and erase all ties and traces of him
>Funds his own termination service/mercenary agency, however he is to perfectionist/autistic to delegate any work
>Work begins to pile up
>Is just as autistic as 47 about being good at his job, tries to take in as many contracts as he can
>Eventually start getting conflicted schedules
>Decide to outsource some work to another guys he can trust
>Rejects everyone until he finds that 47 is still alive
>Hires him to kill a North Korean military officer, an Australian gang leader of Sidney, an African Warlord, a real estate developer in South Africa, and a swedish banker.
>Last mission is for once not to kill your clone brother, and instead help him delete all traces again by killing an interpol agent, an Haya political official, and an NSA agent looking for him near his location, then help him evacuate by creating a distraction while destroying all evidence making it look like an accident.

I have a few ideas:

>gaming or furry convention (includes jokes about the bad hygiene, has a variety of disguises, and allows you to attend both the convention halls and hotel rooms). Targets are a celebrity guest attending the con, and also the hotel manager/con organiser.

>maximum security prison where the target is an inmate and also the prison warden. Make it so you have to go in with no equipment for an extra challenge and can’t bring in unlocks until you beat the level for the first time.

>The Po family palace in Khandanyang. They’ve been teasing this, but nothing’s came of it.

>University campus at night where the targets are a frat boy attending a frat party and a lecturer doing night classes. There’s a forest with log cabins around, so the level also doubles up as a Friday the 13th/slasher movie homage.
>>713440378
I do think IO should make a joke level where 47 infiltrates the IO office in Copenhagen and the targets are actual staff members working on the game.

>>713442783
>maximum security prison where the target is an inmate and also the prison warden. Make it so you have to go in with no equipment for an extra challenge and can’t bring in unlocks until you beat the level for the first time.
That's literally just Hokkaido.

>>713439305 (OP)
You have to infiltrate square enix hq and assassinate the people who fucked up deus ex and thief.

>>713442783
lol yeah, I used "Ubisoft" also because the people running that company are sleazeballs
I was just having a little fun there
there is a very natural implied level of permissions in a place like a video game developers offices that the people making this game already know very well
it'd be funny

Hitman WoA is like weirdly aggressively apolitical in the way it displays its "political" targets so it doesn't matter right

I'm trying to think of an idea for a larger scale level right now but I honestly think the anon who said Renn. Fair hit oil
love it when it's a little bit silly
who doesn't love being a little bit silly

>>713442910
Yeah, but Hokkaido is a luxury rehab centre/hospital. A prison would give off a far different vibe since it would be more restricted, and you’d have far fewer places you could freely roam without disguises.

>>713443394
>A prison would give off a far different vibe since it would be more restricted, and you’d have far fewer places you could freely roam without disguises.
It would literally be the very same, just with another skin.
Hell, in Hokkaido you can also only roam
>your cell
>prison courtyard
>mass
>laundry (the spa lol)
with your "regular" patient attire; and you can't even enter other cells without special permissions.

>>713442783
a convention of some kind
even if it's like just the most basic comicon nerd fest happening in a conference hall in some hotel
>limitless supply of nerdy and hilarious disguises
>massive crowds and stocks full of nerd weapons like zombie knives and katanas
>attached hotel with accessible rooms that nerds in costumes are walking back and forth from in a state of inebriation as they look for an ewok to fuck
it'd just be fun, man

feel if you make it explicitly furry though what starts as an assassination just becomes a slaughter
the average player will not be able to stop shooting

the target can be someone like Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest, doing a bad Shatner, if we can't just literally get Shatner, who would probably be open to doing that, lots of cool celebrities have done that now

more to the point I love maps where I can just hang out and have fun before I get to the murdering

>>713439305 (OP)
tough one since the series has covered a lot of options already. an active combat zone where you have to kill the leader of a terrorist cell could be interesting

something else that just came into my mind is an entirely vertical level in an office highrise building, having to deal with multiple layers of security each floor trying to each your target on the top floor.

>Massacre at Mecca
>Civil War reenactment
>Kabukicho
>An actual circus

>>713444097
>something else that just came into my mind is an entirely vertical level in an office highrise building, having to deal with multiple layers of security each floor trying to each your target on the top floor.
Isn't that basically Dubai?

>>713444097
I think the only problem with the active war zone one is that you would need as system where NPCs can fight eachother. That doesn’t exist in the game (presumably because the engine can’t handle it, I’m guessing).

Also, I feel like a war zone wouldn’t have many creative kill opportunities aside from maybe drone strikes.

>>713444165
>Kabukicho
That Chongqing map was shite

>>713444165
>>Kabukhico

Would be beyond kino, especially if they had tons of Yakuza references. I actually feel like Hitman and the Yakuza series would make for a great crossover, since they could feasibly exist in the same universe.

>>713444458
keep redditkuza away from hitman

>>713444331
that wasnt necessarily Chongqings fault
they wasted the lions share of map space on the facility
the actual streets itself, really weren't bad, just neglected

I'd love a Kowloon Walled City map actually
I'm not against maps where they actually make use of the asian scenery in the maps that are supposedly set in asia

>>713439305 (OP)
Synagogue level.
Main objective is to kill a child trafficker and pederast rabbi and then infiltrate the tunnels underneath to kill the rest of the pedo jews while they're engaged in a blood libel ritual. Client also wants you to rescue his kid that was kidnapped by them (if he's still alive), but you also have the optional objective of freeing all the kids and taking hidden documents regarding the child trafficking and organ harvesting.

>>713444331
That's why I picked a location that's lively and relatively flat. What killed that China map for me was the giant underground lab since everything else felt like an afterthought.

>>713444598
Chongqing’s problem is that it had to be in the facility because of the plot.


The idea of the ICA buying out an entire district of Chongqing and using it as a front for a secret base is cool, don’t get me wrong, but I really wish the neon streets where more than just 30% of the map.

>>713439305 (OP)
A walmart.

>>713445009
how about a wafflehouse including a black face disguise for 47 so he can kill the target in one of the establishments inevitable nigger brawls

>>713445150
A fat suit too.

>>713444942
the elusive target they had there was fun, I did that
all based in the streets, he was like a boxer with a drug addiction
pretty fun target, they didn't even give me a suit
the level does not have a suit

Hitman WoA3 started off very strong and then it just like tapers in and everything at the end here is like an afterthought they had, mostly in service to finishing the "plot"
maybe that level might have had more elusive targets if there was actually more level
I get the criticisms

feels like they were forgetting what they were actually good at, which is weird

A waterpark
47 will appear in his most mundane bananahammock

Amusement park. We already got suburbia without children we can have an amusement park without them too.

>>713445009
>>713445150
why not have an entire strip mall level with multiple fast food resturants, a walmart-like supermarket, a wafflehouse and dennys whos perpetually hungover patronsare at war with each other, a gas station, and a road that will absolutely kill you if you run across it
why not have it all in one big level

that's the american dream right there

so is world of assasination any good if I just want to play levels once? like just the story?
I heard it has a roguelite mode too? is it good?

>>713439305 (OP)
I'd like an actual normal hospital and not that Hokkaido resort shit

>>713445562
i dont know how it is nowadays but im sure if you buy WoA you get the levels of all 3 games? pretty solid deal, especially on a sale. and yes, its worth it, the levels themselves offer a lot of replayability and the roguelite mode is the cherry on top

>>713445562
the story and the opportunities system it uses to guide you kind of holds your hand too much imo but it gets you thru the levels plot alright
that's a totally fine way to play it if you want

freelancer mode does it for a lot of people, the hitmansion may even be a nice place to hang out, doesn't scratch my itch that way
I want to unlock suits and I want to wear suits while I murder, I'm a very simple man

>someone at the agency leaks 47's existence to a media outlet
easy homage to the Blood Money funeral mission
>47 has to kill someone in a high foot traffic area. mass shooter scenario happens as you're entering the area.
you have to eliminate your target without getting compromised by first responders. could lead to a grand conspiracy where that mass shooting was a falseflag planned to disguise the hit
>infiltrate a safehouse used by human traffickers
culminates in a woman trying to thank 47 and he's all NOWAYFAG

>>713445464
I sense some hostility from you.

>>713446804
not even remotely
it'd be a great level
I like levels where there's opportunities to poke a little bit of fun at the culture
this is no more egregious than a level like mumbai is it

like I said earlier, Hitman WoA has this almost aggressively apolitical lens with which it views the global politics and the insidious conspiracies you tangle with in that game, I think you can get some fun gameplay out of an environment like a strip mall set in the middle of buttfuck America
it has uniforms, it has interesting weaponary and machinery within an arms reach, has a clearly defined security force and non-public areas as well as publically accessible frontfacing areas
I don't know why it's so hard for people in this thread to understand I'm just being totally legit and trying to think about how the games mechanics could fit into these kind of areas

>>713446804
yeah it's kind of a meme but it's not supposed to be a mean one
I love America
you guys had the right idea, fuck the king

>>713439305 (OP)
Speaking of levels: does anyone know a way to play this map without massive FPS drops? I doubt I'm the only one. All other maps work mostly fine
I'm using NVIDIA's DLLS adaptive sampling because if I don't it looks very bad, but even on low settings the maps drops to very low fps. I have an RTX 2060

>>713445238
When you reach Chongqing, you’re officially in the “endgame” of the campaign, so they really needed to wrap up the plot threads they established. Most Hitman games do this, where the later levels become slightly more plot-centric.

>>713445464
My idea for this idea is a gridlocked intersection with a massive traffic jam going on, and the target is caught up in it, so they abandon their car and start wandering around the gas stations and fast food joints in addition to trying to book a room in a motel. There’s a huge amount of potential for accident kills there.

>>713449312
>start level
>walk around doing nothing for a few minutes
>target gets run over and dies, because the AI is accurate to typical rest stop drivers
>"Excellent work 47"

>>713448991
there's that and then the train right after it's like
for this specific iteration of Hitman, which had so much said about its level design and the relationship they have with their fans in creating this rolling seasonal format in this base engine, maybe going that route could have been thought over some more?
I don't feel like the game succeeded because of the episodic narrative in the plot but because they were large spaces full of weapons and interesting strategies for taking out targets

I get it is the ending but eh, it wasn't great, felt a bit ripped off after that honestly

>>713449312
oh that's a great fucking angle actually
it's like the beginning of Falling Down and like all around are distractions for the target while he wanders to and from his convoy vehicle or whatever

>>713448495
disable whatever fps counter you have

problem solved

>>713439305 (OP)
Auschwitz

>>713439305 (OP)
Chaz full of niggers. you gotta get away with killing everyone

>>713450324
Mortadelo can basically transform himself so I'd say he comes out on top

>>713439305 (OP)
A fancy golf course with a big clubouse building and a large course you can explore. It'd have a good mixture of interior and exterior areas and you could have the targets be a mixture of players and VIPs there.

There'd be a mission story to replace the caddie of one of the players and have him hit is ball into the head of one of the targets or something.

>>713451665
It's up to the reader if he has transformation powers or just wears costumes really fast. But he uses costumes.

a theme park works because you can incorporate a bunch of ideas

renfair land
space land
pirate land

dozens of different ways to stage accidental kills. shit writes itself kek

>>713439305 (OP)
The Man who Hits but in a gay club.

>>713439305 (OP)
The Trump assassination attempt, except you are doing a secondary objective and the main one is just a distraction. Heavy time limit on the mission.

>>713455383
>orange fuck gets killed
>middle east gets turned into glass
Great idea sister!

A game where 47 hunts down the russian oligarchs and main figureheads of the FSB would be top kino. You have the usual high class settings like the amalfi coast where they keep their yachts or kensington where their sons live, but you can also have the derelict hull of the kutznetsov, the moldy soviet interiors of the lubjanka, the dachas on siberia or the shipyards in vladivostok etc.

>>713455971
Like the Russian levels in hitman 2, but open world Like a sly Cooper game?

theme park/water park? Plenty of creative ways to cause mayhem.
>Disable seatbelts
>Knock unconscious at baseball throwing carnival game
>Poison funnel cake
>Tamper with wave pool controls and create a tsunami
>Throw coin onto track of incoming train
>Mascot costumes
>Theme music
>Exit mission through skyrail

Anime convention where 47 can cosplay to get close to targets

>>713439305 (OP)
One that works offline and infact must be done offline.

Death to IOI

>>713456448
If they're going to force online, the least they could do is have a level where there's another hitman in disguise and they're another player but neither player knows it and the game never tells you. Now that'd be kino.
