Leon: I would have loved to have seen this version of Absolution: according to IO the game very nearly had a completely different story that saw 47 starting the game as a hobo with dog. And possibly a shotgun.
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.

LOL! That is all...
This would've been hilarious to see!
They should make a short based off of that! It would be EPIC!
just looking at the title alone, lmao
So in other words they were going to take Agent 47 down the Sam Fischer route.
Ok, glad that didn't happen, but the more I see and hear about this game, the more it looks like it's going to jump the shark.
I don't know exactly how yet, but if ideas like were being seriously considered, then that's cause for concern.
