Heck we see an Absolution target killed in the montage of 47's past kills (the legacy one).

I assume that the only non canon events, are the SARAJEVO 6 one ( along with Hitman 3's secret ending).

Aren't some Elusive targets considered non targets? Specific ones like Kody Hanes (The guy trying to steal the painting in the Dartmoor map) it is stated that he appears the day Madam Carlisle arrived and it wouldn't make sense for 47 to go out of his way to just kill Kody then not kill Alexa on the same day both of them die by his hands. Perhaps the events happened but were just changed.

But there are references to Absolution in the WOA trilogy. When you climb into the coffin in the isle of sgail in hitman 2 Diana will say something to the tune of “its been a long time since I’ve seen you playing dead.” I havent played that level in a while so i dont know exactly what she says

@@sgtlomon3890 We even see the Aboslution target in the strip club killed in the montages after you complete the ICA training, the guy shot behind a one way mirror.

Not really...Olivia Hall and Agent 47 already did that, making all the ICA data leak through the world.

If you kill her Diana says you don't usually get to know the targets and 47 says you liked her didn't you? (Or something like that)

@@The-Mad-Doctor Yeah, this was the first time that Diane ordered 47 to kill an actual childhood-friend of hers.

@@werewolfx51 yes but all of Diana and 47 contracts wasn’t leaked

@@werewolfx51 But 47 removed the data relating to 47 and Diana

Yeah,how she's remember Absolution storyline???awesome details👍

@@vladosplay7261 Because it technically happened but they are pretending it didn't, not unlike how Absolution did to every other game.

I dont remeber good but I think Diana is killed by 47

Amos Dexter I think his brother or friend👍

@@ljubinkonikolic4620 nah she fakes it shes still alive at the end

She actually seems nice, but just kinda dumb. Why are we killing her again?

@@nobleradical2158 essentially because she's too smart and too loyal to Providence to be left alive. She'd put two-and-two together once the main target (Don Yates) is killed and immediately inform her boss that Diana organized the hit.

@@slashharkiri4581 Which is why Diana laments Tamara having to die, she actually did like her, though at the same time, it makes her realize that one shouldn't get to know their target too much, otherwise, they start caring about them in ways an assassin shouldn't.

@@combinecommando001 That's why 47 was made the way he is. For the ability to get close to his target and not feel a thing when the job has to be done

In fact, yes. Well he probaly wont die but five guards can ruin your silent assassin, and they will probaly shoot you before you shoot them and this will cause ALL the guards to get alerted

'Tis the *P H A N T O M* *S I P*

She has a drinking problem

She knows 47 is at the party... Therefore she trusts nothing... I presume... I think she is paranoid that she will drink or eat something meant for someone else😏

Show me a video game where characters can hold cups or glasses properly. Or walk down or up the stairs.

"You're just a bullet, you're not even the whole gun" - Tamara Vidal's last words if you hold her at gunpoint

I think the reason why you like it so much is because it highlights 47 respects Diana enough to be the safety

Mendoza's assassination methods are like that too

I'm aware that he's in prison, but it makes no sense for Diana to take credit for his _assassination_ if he's still alive and imprisoned. If I'm right about him being a future elusive target, then he'll probably escape from his prison off-screen and try to blend in within one of the maps from Hitman 3 - likely either Berlin or Chongqing.

@@CassidyCope he was captured during H2 story campaign,you can see it on news in H2.Makes even less sense

@@CassidyCope Imagine if a new map in a prison is for a future DLC or something, and you kill Kovac as he attempts to escape/be released.

What are you talking about? Why would a guy request the assasination of 3 musicians? None of those guys were ever in the Yardbirds either way......... Edit: wrong Yardbirds lmao sorry I was sleepy

@@samwitherington4386 that would be sick but Io Interactive already said they aren't making any new locations so sadly that will not be happening.

She's also ex-CIA, and you'd have to consider that the CIA have likely caused their fair share of "accidents" throughout history.

Other NPCs have dialogue referring to it as the １％ Killings.

hitman absolution is best hitman I ever play.

Absolution had some fun ass missions though

i agree with the other two replies. Absolution was a fun Hitman game that doesn't deserve the hate that some people give it. Besides blood money it's the only one I ever replayed multiple times. Hell I only played through2, 3 once and never touched them again.

@@ljubinkonikolic4620 Then you didn't play a Hitman game at all. LOL

Absolution was my gateway to the Hitman games. Loved it, and after watching and reading people's thoughts on the internet about it, decided to play the OG trilogy. have to admit i can't bear the first two games, never touch it again after starting for a bit, but Blood Money? Fell in love with it. I understood the "drastic change" of Absolution, but it was still fun and not as bad as people've claimed. But i've to admit i love the WoA and BM style of levels more than Absolution.

As wholesome as reminiscing over murders can get, y’know?

technically it happens in the future as Diana is still alive, but why they reference dexter like this is beyond me if thats the case

@@nathanharrison2 Diana doesn't die in Absolution.

@@pepethefrog6809 ive played that game enough. the first mission is to kill Diana and in her last breath begs you to protect the girl

@@nathanharrison2 Apparently, you haven't played enough, or just wasn't paying attention. It is revealed in the final cutscene that 47 didn't kill Diana, he shot her but did not mortally wound her on purpose. She survived the supposed "assassination" and faked her death. She was with the girl at the end as Agent 47 checks on them through a scope of a sniper rifle. She even thanks 47 after you finish the last level when you're at the "score screen".

@@pepethefrog6809 there is no such scene. if you find a link showing the whole run and secret endings, please provide a link, but the final scene is 47 reading the letter provided by diana after he shoots her

Yeah, now that I think about it, that is really weird. I'm pretty sure 47 would've been 14 years old at the time. So much for a CIA agent who read into the institute.

"set up as a Langley spy...his death will not be investigated"

Ye I caught that,however he only set Kamarov up as a Langley spy,the FSB got him

@@emperor223 No, Grey killed kamarov by setting it up as a suicide while making it look like he was a Langley spy, the fsb were not the ones who killed him

I would like this comment except the number of likes are just perfect

And in the ICA training on the yacht, the target is also a member of the Yardbirds.

Didn't stop us from killing Roman khabko

@@jev2359 Yep Erich Soders killed the first one of the YardBirds to die. 47 pretended to kill him again in a training mission and later 47 killed all but one of them, but the dialogue implies that the last one will be killed later.

I could see someone wanting the last one dead so they set a contract or they wanna get the money is some way like the child of the last yardbird wanting inheritance

@@ozyman1776 Never knew, Thanks man

Well,what should you expect of an expert assassin

a few? 18 missions across the trilogy and 20+ elusive targets

Aw, we never got a prison-themed level and now I'm slightly disappointed. 47 could have killed him there.

@@carlsiouxfalls I would love a prison level with a yard with hidden shank. The only thing with a level like that is it would probably be small and more linear cuz lots of small spaces but it could be a really good idea. U could have GP and PC a and have to check in to get close to the guy. Or bribe someone to fight him and have him sent to the hole. They could make a opportunity where u leave either a shank or drugs in a guys cell to get him sent to the hole. The target could have someone smuggle drugs in for him which u could poison. U could get a job in the kitchen and poison the targets food like that. There could be visits where someone smuggles in something for you. There could be a way to start a riot and the target gets killed in it if u plan it right. There could be a church in the jail. And at the end there could be a couple special exits. There could be escape exit, an exit u can only get if there's a riot and the target dies before or during the riot. U could even have an opportunity where u get the target to kill a guard and they end up putting him on death row and hang him in the jail and u could steal the executioner's outfit and do it yourself. I have so many ideas for a hitman game. Level ideas, weapon ideas like stun gun or flare gun and bean bag shotgun. Or I wanted blunt weapon to be able to kill but u have to hit the guy like 3 times or something. First hit knocks them out then next one does nothing and the one after kills. I have ideas about letting people make Hitman levels. Like the creat a contract make creat a level. It would be cool just probably can't have the characters talk which would suck but u could have a blank level where u can make a building and put characters wherever and set up their routines and if you do a certain thing the sky will walk over here and then Target will walk with him to this location. It could be done but I'm not sure how hard it would be.

Called it

@@georgeporscheguy3240 Damn I was sure about that one.

@@GamingGalaxyWasTaken too good to be true.

Tamara: Tupac, Biggie Smalls? Diana: wrong.

@@ambrosaur3646 Damn i was sure about that one.

Agent 47 is... *the time traveler.*

@@65firered "Mr. Rieper is, in many ways, a man out of time..."

And not bring 5 fucking guards to confront you. Like just a bit more would help

The leader of the Yardbirds was the _client_ for Himmelstein. He contracted 47 to kill the 3 targets so he could claim the money they had stored away. As of Hitman 2 he was inside a prison, but it doesn't make sense for Tamara to say his name among the rest of 47's victims and for Diana to take credit for it if he was just arrested. Hence, my guess that he'd be a future elusive target.

@@CassidyCope He got Epstein'd.

No, Kovacs was a target in Hitman codename 47, in the asaylum level, Tamara was mentioning him, not the client from Hitman 2 (Sorry about my english, i am from Italy).

@@ivanmello4274 ciao

It's canon, but if you say it's canon, 47 will appear behind you with a garrote wire and *GYUGHHHHHH*

I think Tamara is smart enough to make some educated guesses. Most of what she needed to do is to list off the suspicious deaths that haven't been confirmed through the ICA leak.

Since this is a guessing game, I think it is obvious that 47 already kill Ort Meyer. Not to mentioned that Ort Meyer requested 47 for the job.

Some people thought that "Parallel Universe" means Diana don't want to talk about that (maybe she don't want to talk about ICA's internal mess), while some believe it makes Absolution non-canon.

@@ckmichael8 the non canon story makes sense, since it would explain why 47 looks completely different now. Also explains why that police detective from the end of absolution has never shown up again

But that's just a theory, a game theory

Apart from a few very minor retcons for the sake of Diana's backstory, Absolution is still canon. The new trilogy definitely has a new tone for the series, but assassinations from previous games are directly referenced throughout the game, especially in the "Legacy" cutscene after the prologue and Diana's dialogue in Mendoza. Absolution isn't even the first game to set up a cliffhanger that was never addressed; Blood Money did the exact same thing in its own final cutscene, just for Absolution to (similar to the WOA trilogy) completely ignore it.

@@dinoduderocket my two cents here, maybe that police detective gave the tips to interpol (no local police sheriff could have ever tracked such an international assisan 47, right?), which caused the inspector in Hitman movie 2007 to chasing 47. As we know, the inspector in the movie was provided a body of another Agent as a cover up for 47's fake death, so it is possible that 47 was assumed dead in the Hitman trilogy timeline.

It's just a little joke about how we don't really like to talk about Absolution. Diana is not Doctor Who.

@@CassidyCope Unless, Diana is secretly a timelord???!?!?!!

47 looks a lot older in Absolution. I think it makes sense for it to be a different timeline.

@@d3modawid I don't think he looks that much older. I just think Absolution's face model makes him look like an enraged bulldog in the cutscenes.

@@CassidyCope I don't mean to come off as toxic, but The Doctor ain't called fucking Doctor Who, I hate it when people call The Doctor 'Doctor Who', the show itself is called 'Doctor Who' because people say 'Doctor Who?' when The Doctor introduces them self(I'm saying Them as The Doctor has no actual set gender, they can be male or female)

The leader wasn't, he's canonically in prison so we could see a possible level that takes place there.
