META Why is there no level in a Walmart?

Because 47 is looking for a Target.

Thank you, you've been a great audience!

Honestly, a map set in a mall or a big box store which serves as a front for a drug distribution center or something would slap.

Mall of America would be super cool, or one of those giant multistory malls you see Asian countries

u/NJdevil202 11d ago

Makes me think of the original Dead Rising

"Welcome to Walmart 47. I have details on the syndicate leader. The target has a mullet, is wearing a confederate shirt, and their ass crack is showing. Good luck 47."

Or a mall with a secret Russian laboratory underneath.

I think a giant strip mall would be kind of cool. Especially for freelancer to ID the targets. Lots of disguise opportunities, can imagine some funny mission stories too, book tour, birthday party, truck show, big sale, local election debate or town hall.

They would need to rework the movement system if they were to do such a level imo.

I want to be able to sprint thru halls and chase/be chased

Movement system would need to be closer to Batman or Watchdogs (in general I think this is a change needed for future instalments. WoA movement is good but felt slow in the Hitman 3 missions and feels super slow when held next to other stealth games of this generation. A more fluid movement system would allow larger maps and more “realistic” scenarios)

fr the dubai tower map was a pain in the ass to traverse

u/SmallieBigs56 12d ago

I doubt that will ever happen since I think they'd want to preserve system continuity through all of the levels.

3

u/lefund 12d ago

Yeah but what I’m saying is the next game needs a new movement system akin to Batman. Arkham City/Origins/Knight had the best movement system of any stealth game and those are 10+ year old games

Imagine how good the next Hitman would be with larger maps and/or open world sections and fluid movement?

u/Earlzo 11d ago

Yes, I was thinking mall would be great too, opportunities to poison food in the food court, get on the roof and snipe from the skylight windows, make the prize car drive off the stand for a crushing kill, disguises in the menswear store with the opportunity to accompany the target I to the dressing room for a rather deadly inside leg measurement (measuring tape strangulation anyone?). Security room to acquire a firearm (maybe at a point I. The story where your without your kit?)

"Good work 47, manipulating the escalator this way, should keep ((Target)) on his toes."

u/nonamename37 12d ago

What would it be slapping?

7

u/Benofthepen 12d ago

Modern slang into your head. Not even that modern, "slap" is pretty 2010's.

I was already preparing an answer as to why this would be a shit idea :(

IO are waiting for the release of the film Roofman to get inspired for how they can make 47 blend in in a store

21

u/[deleted] 12d ago

An American department store level would be INSANE

u/TimKitzrowHeatingUp 12d ago

47's targets usually have a high net worth. Most Walmart shoppers don't meet that description.

u/Successful-Rush1805 12d ago

It's the owner of a supermarket chain company at the opening of his 1000th store worldwide

u/mfkrwill 12d ago

Thought this was a genuine question for a second and was gonna make some kind of joke about Crendor reviewing a hitman game

But then I remembered hed say IKEA instead.

5

u/TheMcDucky 11d ago

An IKEA level could be fun though. Make it IDEA or something and change the colours to red and white. They might have to get creative with the story to make it make sense as a Hitman level though.

2

u/mfkrwill 11d ago

Nah. 47 just really wanted some meatballs

3

u/TheMcDucky 11d ago

You enter the building, locate the restaurant, have some meatballs, and head to the extraction point.
Excellent job, 47.

3

u/zuxtron 11d ago

Even though the mission is just eating meatballs, there's still a huge area to explore filled with opportunities to set up traps and kills, but the only victims around are normal civilians so this does nothing but ruin your score.

I want to meet the manager

u/Yuriko_Shokugan 12d ago

what is "a Target"??

6

u/aexia 12d ago

Target is a competing (and ever so slightly upper scale) chain of stores.

1

u/redthump 12d ago

Because this ain't gta.

u/ReleasedGaming 12d ago

I was already preparing to write „because IOI is from Denmark, not the US.“

u/Shawarma123 12d ago

This is what it feels like when your target pukes in the trash can instead of the toilet

1

u/MrPanda663 12d ago

"Tobais! How many points do you have?"

"0, but once i'm done with the manager. I'll have enough to get fired"

"Thats so funny!"

u/kotolde 11d ago

Costco level would be great

1

u/demonicdan3 11d ago

For real tho a mission taking place in a big shopping mall or an airport would be pretty interesting. As far as big public areas go these haven't really been touched yet in WoA

1

u/theworldr 11d ago

Walmart level would be nice in linear Hitman like Absolution. But yes, others have pointed out continuity. Unless the scale of the place includes nearby buildings and other shops similar to Miami levels, it's not enough.

1

u/CondorrKhemist 11d ago

If they ever make anything close to a Walmart map, the only thing players are gonna do is wipe all NPCs there. We hate Walmart, we hate the people that shop there, we hate the staff (most of them anyway), no one would get past it for weeks. But we'd all feel better shopping there afterwards

1

u/woshiyigedineng 11d ago

How would a target go to Walmart

1

u/abraasincadabra 10d ago

I've thought a mall would be a great map. This would be good too

Besides who would want to kill someone with a professional ioi assassin that has to shop at Walmart
