You might be good at Hitman, but are you 'snipe three people while flying' good at Hitman?
I don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty good at Hitman. I've got all sorts of level masteries, possess loads of exploding doodads, and can reliably bang out a Silent Assassin rating on any map from the recent games. At least, that's what I thought until about 45 minutes ago, when I began watching the entries for a, created and hosted by a YouTuber named Atrioc. I now realise my meagre talents mean nothing, and will retire in shame forthwith.
Those guys are all either hard to reach, hard to kill inconspicuously, prone to moving around, or some combination of the three. And they're spread out all over the map. Speedrunners had seven days to submit their best runs, with first, second, and third place getting $500, $200, and $100 respectively, plus an extra $200 in creativity prizes.
The results were equal parts absurd and impressive. The showcased runners exploit aspects of the game I didn't even know existed, pulling off capers with granular precision and delicate timing that I wouldn't be able to accomplish in a hundred years. They're all pretty amazing—I have to shout-out the guy who abused the fact that Hitman's mission timer resets after 24 hours to clock in a 47 second time—but special mention has to be given to the second place run by.
It doesn't make much more sense in context, impressive as it is, which is why it's worth sticking around for Atrioc's explanations of the techniques that go into each run. It's a great opportunity to learn exactly what the speedrunners are doing in each of their videos, and deepen your understanding of the various weird systems that produce Hitman's clockwork world.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.
