OXM UK: "Io Interactive's next Hitman will offer significantly beefier AI, capable of calling in reinforcements at key junctures. Some levels will also reverse the franchise's classic infiltration format, putting guards in a hostile state from the outset."
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.
AI sounds very promising :)
AI is "way more complex". I have heard countless devs say things like this(though I could be wrong)in the end Ai will be dumb as a door bell.
Crysis 2 was supposed to have the best Ai ever in any first person shooter!
sigh.. I miss the days of Fear 1...
They even say "we use dynamic lighting" like they are the only one using it.
All in all I hope I am wrong & my comment is just an EPIC fail!! That would be a good thing! :D
long as its better than Brink's AI
... but the unpredictable AI is part of Hitman's charm. =/
