I finally managed to make my own video walkthrough series on Hitman: Blood Money. I only have one right now, but it should be decent enough to allow people to see how I play.

Minimal violence I like. Never liked the hitman games, stealth shouldn't be about killing and have a hard time playing as a hitman. And they are silly.

Nice, I didn't know you could do the level that way ~:) When I did that level on SA I think I used some semi-exploit where I first stole one of the catering crates when the catering guy saw it, so that I made the catering guy go after me around the corner and ask what I was doing. Since he followed me around the corner, I could comparatively safely sedate him and drop him in the hole in the ground near the exit, after taking his clothes, without anyone watching (if timed well to avoid the runner). Then I entered through the front door and did some sneaking to sedate the wife (difficult while she was moving, though) for her necklace, and sneaked to the computer room to kill the husband. I think I managed to get a guard suit or similar in the pool room in order to get to the top floor. I avoided killing the wife, but the timing was much more difficult and probably not so easy to pull off without the saves you get on the medium and low difficulties.

Cool video, never knew you could use lighter fluid to rig the bbq.

I started of like you did, by sedating the FBI agents in the van, but after that I carefully made my way to the tranquilizer darts in the house to the right of the van. I then used the airgun to sedate the dog, and entered the house (wearing an FBI suit) the same way you did. I then waited for the wife to finish swimming, and sedated her while see was trying to open the door leading to the house. Tricky business as a guard patrols the area, I had to drag her body into the sauna as soon as she hit the ground. Took me a couple of tries to get the timing right.
I then made my way to the room with the big plasma tv, and waited for the primary target to sit down and watch the match. I then fibre-wired him, apparently the guards didn't notice he was dead, as he was still sitting in his chair. Albeit with his head in an awkward position...

Finished by retrieving the suit, and earning the silent assassin rating.

What editing program do you use?

Kekvit Irae

11-11-2007, 23:54

FRAPS to record the action, and Windows Movie Maker to edit it. I'm actually surprised at how good WMM is at editing. And since comes packaged with XP and Vista, another thumbs up for being free.

Download steam and purchase the Hitman series (Codename 47, Silent Assassin, and Blood Money) from there for a bundle price (29.99 USD). You'll never need a hardcopy of the games again if you do. Sadly, they do not have Hitman: Contracts in the bundle.

Husar

11-12-2007, 02:45

Ugh, Steam. :thumbsdown:

I'd rather look in a bargain bin. :sweatdrop:

Looks like fun though, wonder what Blood Money costs now.

edit: 22€ on Amazon...

I like how the FBI guy just picks up a strange box of donuts on the ground, takes them to his buddies and woofs them down. I know cops like donuts, but come on. :laugh4:

A Vintage Year (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwEI8iZJk2o) is now up. Professional difficulty, but there's virtually no difference between that and how I normally play on Normal anyway.

very nice, and the subtle ad for the org as well :wink:

11-12-2007, 11:01

Awesome. :2thumbsup: And I was just playing A New Life the other day.

I like to push the wife down the indoor pool instead of BBQ-ing though. It's funnier considering how the push really isn't that terribly harmful and the water's not even deep.

Also, I hate dogs, so I went into the tree house and sniped the damn canine with a real sniper rifle, silenced of course. ~;) It's also more accurate and doesn't attraction as much attention as the air rifle.

Question though, if anyone knows: If I put the air rifle into the weapon stash at the far east side of the map, do I get to use it in later missions? Also, how do I get past the annoying gardening lady in front of the tree house? Does it count as witness if I just shoot her in the back with the air rifle?

I perfer the dress up as the clown method... very effective for dealing with the lady of the house... :laugh4:

Very nice vids though... Bravo...

Yep, you do. It's only got three shots per mission though.

Also, how do I get past the annoying gardening lady in front of the tree house?

Dressing up as garbage man works well. The guy at the garbage truck is relatively easy to sedate or knock out, just keep an eye out for the other garbage dude and the jogger.

Nope, sedating doesn't impact your rating.

It works, but disposing of the body by dumping him in the garbage truck (killing him) should keep you from getting the SA level.

I simply dragged him out of sight next to the ICA box.

Saving depends on the difficulty level. Rookie allows unlimited saves, but you cannot save in Professional.

AntiochusIII

11-13-2007, 22:16

.
Can you save your progress in these later versions? Bro played one a couple of years ago and it just auto-saved at certain points. Being jumped back several minutes and kills back didn't appeal to my taste so I never touched it. ~:handball:
.The screwed up thing is, even on Rookie your saves will not survive a simple restart mission command.

Yes. They're being that anal about it.

So it's like, I killed the Gubernatorial Mistake in that Christmas porn party mission, went to pick up the sausage, tried to throw the sausage to the dog -- and the game crashed! My saves are gone! I have to redo the whole damn mission and can't get the energy for it yet.

I've seen it in the bargain bin for 10€ before. I wished I had picked it up then though. :shame:

I too had issues in that mission, but updating the game helped.I see. Thanks. I never bothered updating it (the list did say that the problem is an "extremely rare occurrence," and my internet was having problems...), but I think I'll have to do so now.

Much pleasure shall be gained making the Pr0n King drown in blood.

Ah, things change, have Steam now and bought Blood Money yesterday.
Yes, in a shop, said 10EUR on the package but they wanted only 8.99 at the cashpoint. :beam:
Pretty cheap compared to ~14EUR on Steam.
It's a fun game and your guides were of some help, Kek, though I'm a bit further now. :2thumbsup:

I recently caved in and installed Steam too, haven't bought anything off it yet though (Can you use Visa ? ). I really like the idea of being able to get all those older games at ~20€.

Kekvit Irae

Glad I could be of some assistance. I probably won't make any more videos for H:BM, since Professional mode is really kicking my tail and the whole purpose of these videos was to give people an idea of what to do later on in the game when they are on their own. I'd rather not spoil games for people who want to play them by themselves by making walkthroughs of every level, but they are perfect for people who just want a little nudge in the right direction... specifically a little more spending money in the earlier stages to upgrade equipment and weapons.

Husar

11-18-2007, 23:41

I'm taking the semi-stealthy approach and have just made it through the heaven and hell party level. Quite an interesting game. :2thumbsup:

Also doc, I'm using Vista and Steam runs fine, just didn't buy a game yet either.
Steam should be good for 50$ games since that's just about 35 EUR and thus a lot cheaper than buying them at a store here. Like I said I got Blood Money cheaper at a store though.

Kekvit Irae

11-19-2007, 00:22

I prefer Steam versions since real media gets scratched, stepped on, lost, etc. I just wish they had Hitman: Contracts.

Husar

11-19-2007, 02:23

Well, done, that was fun. :2thumbsup:

The last mission in particular was very hard though, but it was definitely worth it. Pretty great game I'd say, just too bad that with my schedule it lasted only 2 evenings. :dizzy2: :oops:

I'm ordering the Hitman package on Steam now. Which one is best to play first?

Kekvit Irae

11-19-2007, 03:16

Well, Hitman is storyline-based, so you may be confused about a few things if you start with Blood Money or Silent Assassin. I suggest you start at the beginning with Codename 47 so you wont spoil the storyline.

Evil_Maniac From Mars

11-19-2007, 04:16

I started Codename 47, and I'm not sure I like it. The controls just seem rather...ugh compared to the Blood Money demo I played. I may just start with Silent Assassin and move to Blood Money, and start 47 later.

DL limits in Belgium make it somewhat of a bad deal though, you get 10Gb in a standard package and have to pay for additional Gbs. I imagine downloading the Orange Box might turn out to be pretty expensive.

11-20-2007, 15:56

Don't have TV anymore. :beam:

Despite that, no American TV anyway.

And thanks for the link, that guy doesn't look half as cool as the guy in the game but I'll make sure to watch this once it's in the cinemas here. :2thumbsup:

By the way, apparently one can get the Blood Money sountrack for download now (http://www.gamershell.com/news/43556.html).

Rodion Romanovich

11-20-2007, 19:46

Cool, I hadn't heard about that movie in quite some time. I wonder if it will bear much resemblance to the game. I must also admit, I find it less interesting to watch it as a movie, than figuring out the plans and such in a Hitman game...

Craterus

11-20-2007, 21:17

A stealth movie wouldn't be much fun so it looks like it's going to be more action-orientated. I think.

Xiahou

11-20-2007, 22:18

You can say that again- he looks like a dork. My prediction: the movie will be full of suck. :yes: :shame:

Husar

11-20-2007, 22:28

he looks like a dork.
That's another way to say it I guess. ~D

My prediction: the movie will be full of suck. :yes: :shame:
I hope it will be at least a somewhat funny action movie. Haven't been in a cinema for quite a few months.

Sadly, and this is after viewing the trailer, I'm in full agreement. Can't see this being anything other than a mindless movie with a lot of gun shots. Completely missing the point of the Hitman series, as Craterus suggested earlier.

he falls in love with a russian chick... ruins the whole damn series for me....

i thought his hook up lady would be his lover...

Kekvit Irae

11-21-2007, 07:53

47 has only personally seen Diana just two times. It wouldn't be really canon if they did hook up.

Husar

11-21-2007, 12:26

I think it would and I got the impression that at least she likes him a lot.
Of course I still wouldn't expect it, actually he seems too worried about his integrity to hook up with anyone.

But then I still have to see the movie because it has a Hind helicopter in it. :sweatdrop:

Rodion Romanovich

11-21-2007, 19:20

I wonder if

a particular girl from the Lee Hong Assassination, and a particular CIA agent who has a habit to be caught and inprisoned in a basement,

will show up in the movie?

Husar

11-21-2007, 19:33

That reminds me,
there was this one guy dressed in black in the Hotel, same room as the Sheik, he was just sitting there but stood up when I walked past him, I stopped for a bout a second and moved on when he suddenly started to shoot me into the back out of the blue. Was that some FBI agent who trapped me? I think I was dressed as a bodyguard, didn't have any weapon in my hand or so, just walked past him.

Happens. In Hitman 2: Silent Assassin, on the first Russian level (where you have to kill the first general), I was dressed as a Russian soldier, and the FSB agents came out and gave me a look over, but let me by and went back to his post...but my fellow soldiers started shooting me with AK's
