E3 2011: Hitman: Absolution Preview [GamingUnion.net]

GamingUnion.net: "Much like Agent 47, Hitman: Absolution has been silent and mysterious with nothing more than teaser trailers to hold the designated attention of Hitman's fan base. With that being said, the recent announcement that this title will be diluted in its difficulty, didn't necessarily leave a pleasant after taste; that is, until the Hitman: Absolution demo was presented at E3 2011."

I don't think the demo sounds like it was the best one they could have showed. If the game is quite linear now, that would be pretty crappy.

JDouglasGU5377d ago

apparently is about 50/50 set pieces and exploration.

ShawnCollier5377d ago

It'll be interesting to see how the fans take those changes.

bauer0075376d ago

your just a premium twat whos not a true fan of the franchise

Lord_Sloth5376d ago

Says you. I'm just worried they're gonna change it too much. Part of the charm of the older Hitman and Splinter Cell titles was getting in and out without being seen or heard.
I would leave all of the guards conscious and in tact if I could.

In Conviction, this isn't really feasible in most cases and I'm just worried they're going to do the same with Hitman.

Does wanting a franchise to not lose itself in modern mediocrity make me a "premium twat whose not a true fan of the franchise," or just some1 who enjoys the games for what they were?

bauer0075375d ago

they have already said, silent assassin is returning, you can complete the game without killing anyone but the targets, you really need to get your knowledge up cause for someone whos "worried" about the franchise, you dont know much about the game!

bloodybutcher5377d ago

didnt somebody say that one of agent47 abilities would be something a la ´x ray vision´?he can see through goddamn walls???hopefully it can be turned off...

rowdyBOY5377d ago

i'm pretty sure The same team that made batman is making hitman,hence x-ray vision

lochdoun5377d ago

I want my Hitman games to play like Hitman, not Splinter Cell. This is disgusting.

Don't get me wrong, I love Splinter Cell, but what I liked about Hitman was how different it was from Splinter Cell.

How IO turned Hitman around, from Absolution to World of Assassination

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.

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.
