Ever since its announcement at E3, Hitman fans have been worried about the direction Hitman Absolution has been going. Snippets of information and small clips have come out which didn’t do much to rest those fears, so IO Interactive have now released a full uncut walkthrough of the mission shown behind E3 doors; ‘Run For Your Life’.
As a long term Hitman fan, the video is exciting, simply to see Agent 47 back in action, but also very, very worrying.
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.
Trailer was awesome, game looks sik, I'm buying it day 1.
I'd disagree with it being assassinated. It looks good though scripted, though if the dev's re-assurances are anything to go by, it's all player choice and none of what's shown is necessary. Disagree with a lot of what the article is saying and it's being completely contradictory to what devs have said. Either way, it's going to be an interesting ride next year, that's for sure...
Remember this is the first level. Hopefully the next levels really open up. It was the same in blood money.
I believe its scripted because its a demo and its more than likely the tutorial mission like the rest of the Hitman games. The only thing that bother me is the vision to see enemies movements and see through walls, but I heard a rumor it can be turned off or its not included in the hard difficulty. Either way, I'm super pumped.
