PWNGamer: The Hitman series has been a gaming franchise i’ve held close to my heart since its birth way back in 2000, the sequels that followed ensured that it was a solid shooter like no other.
It’s been five years since Mr 47 last made an appearence in Hitman: Blood Money and after the climatic ending it’s no wonder that fans have grown inpatient to see his fibre wire wrapped around some poor unsuspecting victims neck once again, with the recent anounncement of Hitman: Absolution, that wait is almost over, unfortunately we may not be getting the same Hitman we’re use to.
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.
This is a game I care a lot about. I hope they don't ruin it.
I hope they keep the stealth elements and don't go for a more mainstream game.
Wow, they make it sound like the game already failed...
In all previous Hitman games, the difficulty setting controls more that just enemy AI. All the instinct mode will be is a replacement for following your target on the map in easy mode like in previous games. Hitman games have implemented new features every time and have never failed to impress me.
This game will be amazing and I for one won't be falling into the trap of condemning a game before I've seen ANY evidence of failings like everybody likes to do these days.
God forbid anyone can just look forward to a game anymore.
Edit: I am a little upset about the change of voice actor though.
The author needs to learn how to use "too".
