#Hitman (franchise)
The series started with 2000's Hitman: Codename 47, and has featured eight main games in total, the most recent being Hitman 3, released January 2021. Main games in the Hitman series are set in semi-open world environments and presented from the third-person perspective, and have players eliminate specific targets assigned to them while trying to remain as stealthy as possible by various means; these include taking disguises, hiding from suspicious enemies, and using suppressed weaponry. The series' main protagonist and playable character are Agent 47, the eponymous hitman, who works for the fictional International Contract Agency (ICA). Originating as a clone who was genetically engineered to maintain peak human physicality and intelligence, be easy to control, and display a cold and monotone personality, 47 is regarded as the best assassin in the world. Each game features different story arcs which, while not interconnected, for the most part, do take place in the same continuity, and serve to develop 47's background, humane side, and relationships with recurring characters.
#Hitman: Codename 47 (2000)
The first instalment in the Hitman series, subtitled Codename 47 in reference to the protagonist, was developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive for Microsoft Windows in November 2000. It introduced some of the basic gameplay elements of the series, such as the open-ended levels and the use of disguises to access otherwise unavailable areas. While most levels put heavy emphasis on stealth, there are also certain action-focused segments, where stealth is not a possibility. In the game's storyline, Agent 47 escapes from the facility of his creator and is hired by the ICA, who assign him contracts to assassinate various wealthy and decadent criminals across the globe. While these targets are seemingly unrelated at first, it is soon revealed that they all played a role in 47's creation.
It’s been two whole decades, and Codename 47 is probably the Hitman title the fewest number of people will have played. Aside from being a series debut that would be later overshadowed by its successors, it’s also the only one in the franchise to be a PC exclusive.
Hitman: Codename 47 is the origin story of gaming’s favourite bald contract killer, Agent 47, a genetically enhanced clone who has been trained to become an unstoppable assassin. Upon his escape from the test facility where he was created, he is hired by the International Contract Agency to travel the world and eliminate wealthy criminals and corrupt aristocrats.
First and foremost, Hitman is a social stealth game. This means it carries many characteristics of the traditional stealth genre: evading guards, silently killing enemies, and covering your tracks so as not to arouse suspicion. But there’s also a social status aspect to this too, where 47 can wear various disguises of workers and NPCs that allows him to blend in with his environment. New areas open up to him freely and let him slip through undetected to get closer to his target.
Similar to the likes of Metal Gear Solid and Thief, Hitman: Codename 47 sits in that awkward spot of being an early 3D stealth game, and would therefore become a title that sets a standard for what the genre would become while also stumbling on some of its finer details.
Codename 47 deserves some credit for being one of the first games to utilise ragdoll physics. Killing an enemy causes their body to collapse realistically as it collides with the ground, with every limb and joint conforming perfectly to it. Before then, games would often prefer to go with pre-determined death animations which can look really awful particularly on slopes and against walls, so it’s nice to see an early example of these physics working wonders. The results can be silly sometimes, but it was a huge step forward for the technology at the time.
Hitman also takes some inspiration from the 007 franchise by featuring exotic locations that Agent 47 visits on the missions he takes. Codename 47’s story takes him from the narrow streets of Hong Kong to deep into the heart of Colombia’s jungles. Later levels include a Budapest hotel and a harbour in Rotterdam, with each location necessitating a different kind of playstyle.
