It's interesting how the first Hitman has this camera mode with semi-fixed angles

It's almost exactly like silent hill, outdoor areas has it loosely follow 47 from the back similar to SH

The series really didn't hit its stride till Blood Money. And the 2016-2021 trilogy

I always think that this is because the developer probably need to capture some images with cinematic feels to it. But it's still cool all the same.

when his next assignment is at the resident evil mansion

i tried playing this one but gave up, the fifth or so level is like a filter, man! sh*t's hard, man! no more hand-holding at that point

Hitman 1 was very experimental, than they finally got it right with Hitman 2 . Hitman 1 is a nightmare sometimes , especially certain specific missions.

you can change the camera?!?

It also featured free aim when leaning left or right (which you can also notice in the video), which was removed in the sequel.

Shame they got rid of the first person mode toggle.

I forgot about this. I remember downloading a demo of this back in the day and I thought it was cool as heck. Couldn't afford games so I'd play those demos to death. And here just the other day I got the new Hitman collection on Switch 2. :) Feels like a PS2/GC/Xbox era game.
