About: "Stealth fans won't like this, but the streamlining of stealth mechanics in games like Dishonored, Splinter Cell: Conviction, XBLA's Mark of the Ninja and now Hitman: Absolution is the best thing that could have happened to the genre. Appealing to a wider audience is a good thing. Allowing a range of play styles rather than just hardcore stealth is a good thing. Making you feel like an actual stealthy secret agent bad-ass, even if you're overpowered, is a good thing. Hitman: Absolution matches accessible gameplay with fantastic presentation and a ton of content to make a great overall experience that series vets and newbies alike will both be able to enjoy."
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.
