Joystiq: "Hitman: Absolution looks terrific -- the Glacier 2 engine is a definite improvement, and all of the elements that made the first few games in the series so popular are still in there and polished to boot. Without playing it, we don't know if the game has landed that stealth game goal of making it clear just when you're hidden and when you're not (there were a few points in the demo where the developers clearly used out-of-game knowledge to beat the stealth system), but if Io can solve that particular problem, Hitman: Absolution should be quite a show to see."
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 am hoping this hitman is not a action story adventure. But still retains the stealth elements and stays a difficult game even if it slightly limits the audience. This preview sounded good and hope that he continues to eventually be a hitman in his quest to figure out who burned him. Also would like to see this behind closed doors gameplay
