Rumor: Next Hitman Game A Reboot?

Wow Square Enix (or IO Interactive), if this is true I have no idea how to react right now.

badz1495674d ago

as long as the reboot hitman doesn't end up looking like an emo kid or suddenly has hair, I think I'm fine with it.

emo kid hitman....eewww!

Derekvinyard135674d ago

if one thing on thsi list, EVEN if the artwork is real. i will not buy this game.

mikepmcc5673d ago

From the article:

Here you have a bad image of the artwork that my friend's colleagues take turns jacking off in Denmark: "

WTF???

gamesmaster5674d ago (Edited 5674d ago )

"David Bateson again the voice of 47"

im sorry but this ^^ is the only good news on this list, atleast we get to keep 47's cool calm vocals if true.

Dark General5674d ago

The cover system bit makes me weary. I want to be able to go stealth just like old times. Strangling people then taking their clothes and go about my business.

TronEOL5674d ago (Edited 5674d ago )

If you played the new Splinter Cell, you'd understand why a cover system would work much better for games like these. They should allow you to take out people from any which way in ALL stealth based games.

So the more ways to kill the merrier, or at least that's how I see it.

Although I do have to say if that's how he looks, I'll be upset. He looks like he's 19 years old, wearing dads suit and fake stubble.

TenSteps5674d ago

@SpideyAI

granted that taking out enemies from cover is a nice way to kill in stealth games I(remembers the first time playing Tenchu).

But I always viewed 47 as a blending in then killing target over a take cover behind a wall and do a stealth kill.

Maybe it's just me not letting go of that style but hey that's the benefit of an opinion right.

All in all I just hope 47 is just as talkative as he is in the reboot as he is in all of his original games.

lh_swe5673d ago

It would no longer be Hitman if agent 47 isn't the same.

BornToKill5674d ago

let me guess he's gonna have hair.

dredgewalker5674d ago

Hitman with an afro would look groovy.

seann5674d ago (Edited 5674d ago )

a fat hitman would be awesome to.(just look at the ugly mess they made of max payne)

if this is related to the movie in anyway, then hitman is dead to me.

Lord_Doggington5674d ago

where's the "don't care"option on the rumor bar?

renegade5674d ago (Edited 5674d ago )

i want only to play as Agent 47 not a female assassin ... Based on hitman movie ohh noo.:{ Hope is not true. Beared 47 :D

I mean as someone who grew up playing all the 007 ganes, this fits right in. The games have always been like that. Start slow and sneaky, sh#t hits the fan and it turns onto an action set piece.

-Foxtrot249d ago

I really hope in the future any other Bond games made by different developers will use their own Bond and Universe rather than just using whoever is playing Bond in the films. It's a video game, they should have the freedom to do their own take rather than being restricted by what the films are doing.

Hopefully outfits and Easter eggs found in this game won't just all be of Craigs era, really want to see some original Sean Connery stuff.

Man, glad Sony is there to promote the unheard of indie studio IO Interactive.

neutralgamer1992254d ago

With no more E3 it's just what we have been left with. Hate minium efforts by these companies. I was so disappointed to find out there was no Xbox conference at gamescom. Those were the days when we had 1-2 hour showcases

Cacabunga254d ago

Sony is falling really low to promote an uncharted clone.. this is unimaginable 4 years ago

Eonjay254d ago

State of Play is an game advertisement platform. Nintendo and Microsoft do the same things with their platforms as well.

Christopher254d ago

Those others promote more first party than third. Sony is overwhelmingly mostly third party the last 3 years.

RaidenBlack253d ago

@Chris
But you were ok with Borderlands 4 SoP?
And FFVIIR? (Not 1st party and It only had launch exclusivity)

1Victor254d ago

@zubbs= obscured: “ At least Xbox still does a summer showcase. Sony does nothing”
Hey obscured at least Sony is promoting a game that not many in the community know about 🤷🏿
At least try to contain your excitement till we know more about this game 🤣

maximusprime_254d ago

Thanks for sharing Alt account comment. It has been marked as spam as usual. Another ridiculous comment from him... When will he learn that all his comments get removed because they are mostly stupid.

Sonic1881254d ago (Edited 254d ago )

I didn't know IO Interactive were a sony first party studio 🤔😂 they could have showed this at Gamescom instead of a *sony state of play*

wesnytsfs254d ago

They are not a first party studio. This game is also releasign on pc, xbox and I think switch

pwnmaster3000254d ago

That’s the point. Why even have a state of play for it.
I think you misunderstood op’s meaning.

RaiderNation254d ago

Its not unprecedented. Sony has done State of Plays for 3rd party games before. Just this year they had one for Borderlands 4.

Jingsing254d ago

James Bond Jr. character model.

KiRBY3000254d ago

well, it is a new original story so that makes perfect sense. they are shooting for a trilogy, we'll get "experienced" James Bond eventually.

-Foxtrot254d ago

Yeah they could have done a bit more to him, maybe make him more like Flemings original sketch of Bond.

He looks like Ethan Hunt or some redesign of Nathan Drake

cloganart254d ago

Supposed to be like an early Origin story. Makes sense!

Fun fact: The actor also played Dexter Morgan in Dexter Original Sin!

Lightning77254d ago (Edited 254d ago )

I think we're starting to feel the effects of the new leadership and regime under Sony now. They've been through changes many times in last console gens but they've always remained to their mantra of great games and gamers coming first.

Jim was terrible but at least he knew the games we liked even though he was the pioneer of LS push early this gen for PS. Current Sony is seemingly clueless. I know Santa Monica is ready to announce their game at some point this gen it's been way too long. Stand Alone Venom game for 2026 could be on the cards. Maybe some Saros gameplay.

Maybe they have one more State Of Play in them and the game Awards. So maybe I'm speaking too soon(probably am). It's just getting annoying and tiring trying to figure out what Sony is doing anymore.

Smitty2020254d ago

I forgot all about this game since it got announced ages ago
