Hitman Absolution has been tweaked after negative reaction to the game's all-guns-blazing PVC-clad nun trailer.
The teaser video saw Agent 47 mercilessly assassinating a troupe of killer nuns. Hitman's trademark stealth gameplay was nowhere to be seen.
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
"We were surprised by the reaction to it. We've been trying to find out, you know, how could we not see this happening? If we knew it would get such a negative reaction we would have done it in a different way."
If you guys were Hitman fans then you should know why fans were p*ssed at that trailer.
Why is it that this gen developers try and change what the a franchise is about which ends up ruining it. Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Dead Space, Final Fantasy etc
MS really did nailed this time with DX11 just saying.
"level changed due to negative nun trailer reaction"
*disappointment & rage starts building*
*reads article*
They're adding more backstory and context to The Saints instead of removing that content? I knew I liked these guys for a reason :)
They weren't nuns. I don't get it. Is he unable to disguise himself as anyone because that group is upset.
Why fantasy gets confused with reality is beyond logic....when was the last time you saw a group of vixen nuns attacking a middle aged bald guy with deadly weapons?
The world's gone mad!
