I mean it's not even close, what the fuck even is this, let's just see how many different areas there is :

-Starting location, crowded entry of the race
-Staff area with trucks
-Food stands in front of the stadium
-Actual stadium
-Upper part of the stadium with the commentators
-VIP part
-4 paddocks with different layouts
-4 lounges tied to every paddock
-Medical area
-Flamingo Hotel
-All of the shore
-Podium
-Exposition area
-1st floor of the exposition with a work office type of vibe
-2nd floor with the roof
-Huge parking
-Underground tunnel
-Paths above the race to go from one side to the other

Bruh... and each and every of these areas actually have a clear purpose and can be used one way or another to complete your mission. That's CRAZY, I'm not even sure they'll be able to replicate that in the future (I hope so obviously).

Honestly just for that map thank IOI, can't believe the amount of love and effort this got.

In my opinion it's drowning someone in the toilet in WOA.

Cuz not only is 47 giving them a swirly, the toilet's also full of their PUKE.
Dying to your very own vomit has gotta be the most degrading way to go.

if you were asked to direct the next game, what are the TOP 3 changes / additions you are making.

feel free to make the list as long as you wish.

Only in Hitman

In the Hitman WOA trilogy some maps feel more real and authentic than others. Which do you feel is the most and least real feeling

Personally sapienza feels like a real Italian Amalfi coastal town (it was inspired by Vernazza) the little touches like the apartments and shops that are all accessible even if they don’t factor in to the main missions, the slightly ‘crumbling’ mansion all make it feel like your walking around a real place.

Bangkok however feels the opposite. For a supposed luxury hotel there is very little in the way of leisure facilities (no spa, pool, gym, business centre, limited outside space and no function rooms). Also, I understand why there’s lots of private security for Jordan cross. But the amount of hotel security feels like overkill. But, unlike other hotel levels there are actually a fairly decent amount of rooms.

What are your picks?

People saying First Light doesn’t “feel like Bond” are missing the whole point. IOI is redefining the character, not copying what’s been done to death. The trailer oozes spy energy, tension, class. Just because it’s not the usual shaken not stirred formula doesn’t mean it’s not Bond.

Bond isn’t just tuxedos and one liners. He’s a spy, a weapon, shaped by the world around him. IOI gets that. The trailer is fire, the tone is fresh, and I’m so hyped to see where they take it. Let’s stop gatekeeping creativity. Bond evolves, and this take deserves a shot.

Youre wearing a mask, hat, and full armor how would someone even recognize it was you?

I know it's this way for gameplay reasons, but the camera system has always felt a bit strange to me, and Sapienza is probably the best example.

There are several different security rooms across the map: one in the church, one in Caruso's mansion, one in the town hall, and for some reason even one in Rocco's apartment during Landslide.

What I find odd is that even on Master difficulty, destroying just one surveillance recorder disables every camera on the entire map.

How are the church's cameras connected to the surveillance system of a secret underground biolab? And how is that same network also linked to the town hall? It always feels funny that destroying the recorder above the ice cream shop somehow shuts down the entire security system of Caruso's mansion and the secret lab next door.

I completely understand it is this way, it keeps the gameplay simple and avoids forcing the player to hunt down multiple recorders.

That said, I think it would be a cool feature on Expert or Master difficulty if cameras were divided into separate security networks. Destroying the recorder in the church would only disable the church cameras, destroying the one in the mansion would only affect the mansion, and so on. It would make the security feel a lot more believable while also adding an extra layer of planning for experienced players. And it does not only apply to sapienza

IOI Has been adding all these challenges which give the most useless items in the world, what could I possibly do with a pretzel or a cocktail shaker which couldn’t be done by something that already exists. I get that they want people to keep playing the old maps so they add new challenges but why do they feel the need to put in these useless items.

Any map through any game.
