Boo. So there probably wont be any weapon and location unlocks either.
RIP every speedrun
There are location unlocks and weapon unlocks. Marrakesh I believe has a new knife, Sapienza gives you a little toy robot that is used as a explosive. I think there's location unlock for both but they are both specific to the missions if im not mistaken.

Anyone able to play on PC? DLC is listed as owned on the game page, but no way to install it, launching game doesn't install it. When you are in game you see an option to install the DLC from the sapienza selection, but that just takes you to the DLC store page which doesn't list bonus mission 
Hopefully just a bug and steam adds the bonus to the DLC list today. Did try restarting steam and the web version, no change. I own the full game, via AMD key redemption.

Reboot Steam pal, you probably have another 6.1 gb to download.

just want to confirm this
there is no mastery but for completing all opportunities and assassination challenges in each mission you get the 2 new weapons.

You are psychic, that worked after second steam restart. 6.5gb download, but should be done in 15 minutes. Patch added 7 new achievements as well, all related to the bonus missions.
So... use coins? Leave guns in their patrol path? There are plenty of ways to distract a guard in this game.

Use thrown objects, coins, etc. It is a silenced pistol, you know
Guys, I have over 200 hours on this game and I've speedrun through most missions and contracts and got a lot of top stops in the leaderboards. I know all of that already
. It was something that was really useful, and in some cases irreplaceable (like doing it from outside of a window), and it doesn't make sense that they programmed so many audio effects for each different material if they are going to make the NPCs completely ignore them. If I hit something made of metal, the guards should definitely check out the source of the noise, as they should check out when I break a vase or similar.unknownhero

eh, I'm not really feeling it with these bonus missions. Maybe I'm not in the right frame of mind, I'll try them later.

Wow, two new missions are much bigger than I expected. I thought it'd be on the level of ETs - new target, night time, minor tweaks. Nope, they more or less revamped the entire maps, changed around a lot of the stuff from daytime you are used to, added a ton of new disguises and opportunities, etc.
While not quite as large or opportunity filled as previous levels, I'd say each of the two new missions is a good 3-6 hours each of content if you want to 100% them. Just wandering around checking everything out in Sapienza took me 45 minutes.

I hate the phrase "immersion breaking" but this is a perfect example. That video you posted was hysterical. If they wanted to nerf it but keep immersion they should have gone the other way and had guards immediately go on alert and call for backup.

that was very easy
did SASO on my first try in marrakesh b, I didn't even plan to do that but it kinda happened, I never did SASO in sapienza or marrakesh, but now there's at least an achievement for it
the size is somewhere between a double elusive and a standard mission, feels definitely smaller than expected

Finally got this on PS4 so I can enjoy it properly
Paris is insane. I thought Mardi Gras in Blood Money was impressive, but damn, this is something else

It's definitely patch + mission, even on Steam it's that size.

That's weird - my Steam update today was only 6.5 GB.
By the way, anyone remember the leaked Sapienza night screenshot that showed an outdoor concert? Presumably that had to be cut.

ok sapienza b seems to be a lot more interesting than marrakesh b, spent 30 minutes in it and still have no idea where to start
I definitely like that in both missions the opportunities are much less hand holding, they definitely tell you where to go, but not how you get there unlike in the previous missions

It's showing the missions locked for me unless I need to complete the third map which I never did. But I know for fact I bought entire series at once

I'm still on the Intro Pack content, but I turned Opportunities off. The intel seems like enough hints IMO
Moff
Member
yeah a lot of people recommend that, not a bad way to play the game, I did everything turned on, though, always
are you on steam? this is known issue with all episodes since paris
make sure that the bonus episode is checked in the dlc menu, it probably still needs to be downloaded
on a sidenote, I think it's worth mentioning that at least to my knowledge, the target in sapienza b is the first target in the hitman franchise who is not a despicable person and/or a criminal. seems a bit off, unless I missed something

On the PS Store when I looked at the Summer Episode, it said not available but it said 11.29.2016
Probably a placeholder but man, fuck this decision to hold off the release to episodic buyers till the Paris at night mission is completed.

A House Built on Sand definitely pulls the Marrakesh level design together. Having a target who
calls back to the best parts of Showstopper and makes the world feel organic.
And it's an amazing touch that the fortune teller

Had got it on PC, but my specs weren't high enough for Paris. The tutorial levels ran relatively well
Sapienza will surprise you, homie.
It's one of the best locations in the franchise.
Ah. Scared me as I just bought everything on XB1 last night. Never looked into how it ran.
I swear I usually make more informed purchases.

What did Dino Bosco do to deserve this?
Hey, we can only sell 6/7th of game missing as preorder, but selling bonus mission missing 1/3th would be too much!

Really disappointed with the lack of mastery unlocks . Most of my fun is unlocking the stuff.

Looks like 13 elusive targets gets you the normal suit, but with gloves now. Fucking dumb that we didn't just have that already.
Burn money.

I've finished both bonus missions. The Bonus Episode also added new achievements

Lol yeah. It would have been great if he was included somehow in the new Sapienza bonus mission. He's perfect for its B-movie feel.
Really enjoying Marrakesh at night in the other bonus mission. Much more atmospheric. Feels more Hitman than the previous use of the location. Some new VAs as well. Lotsa incidental conversations. Also seems to run better too probably cause the riot crowds are gone now.

Yeah I've seen the intro now. The production company wanted to get rid of their washed up action hero. Kinda sadistic.
You bought the whole game instead of individual episodes, so you get it all now. Congrats.
I was willing to pay the extra $5-$10 and get the content once it actually, you know, existed. A slight discount for the people willing to hand over $60-$65 for the whole chunk in one go. That was a reasonable proposition.
Now we get to pay $15-20 more for the same thing and wait longer. The lack of an upgrade option for people who bought the first three episodes is terrible too, which honestly isn't something I'd do but it should be there. Combine that with IO's inability or unwillingness to actually let people know any of this stuff beforehand, and you just get a whole lot of people feeling burned.
If I had known that halfway through the episodic release schedule they were going to shit on the people who supported that model of release I sure as hell would have reconsidered buying it.
