Eurogamer: Hitman: Absolution will be aimed at a wider audience than earlier, less forgiving entries in the franchise, developer IO Interactive has revealed.
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.
I think this can be a good thing for the series, as long as its not overdone. Big if tough...
*Awaits impending 'dumbed down - no buy' flood of comments*
It has to be great after all this time
COD-like? F%^ you IO if that's your fanbase-target! Everyone wants to go casual these days! come on
In other words, they are making another shooter for cod kids. Go f*ck yourself...
I honestly don't see why they are trying to make it more "accesible". All the previous Hitman games are not all that hard, it's just a matter of formulating a good strategy and carrying it out with precision along with a little quick thinking & improvisation too.
