Hitman: Absolution launch trailer is mean, moody and murderous

Packed full of bloody assassinations, darkened streets, bucket loads of rain and customary annoying electronica soundtrack, IO Interactive have unveiled a launch trailer for Hitman: Absolution.

Cant wait for this the thing i like about Hitman is they take their time and release a finished product. They stay true to the roots of the franchise unlike AC3 and several others

-Dem QTE filled gameplay
-Killing someone without your mask on in front of a big audience yet still getting Silent Assassin rank

They sure do stay true to their roots.

Wow now that that is a cause for concern, that better not be the only way to take that guy out.
The only people disagreeing with you are people who don't know what Hitman is, and that is not Hitman.
I'm praying that this is not another game that is going to loose it's identity chasing the casual market money, because it will just kill itself in the process.

I watched a interview yesturday it seems you can still take out people in differnt ways not just as shown.
This game is going to be big with the added features of contract mode it make this game last.

I've watched and read a lot of interviews, also watched game play that suggest there will be a true Hitman experience in Absolution.
But that video worries me. Especially the fact that he gets an SA rank for it.

That sequence is at the very end of the mission. One mission. Using that to suggest the game doesn't stick to its roots is just a trolling attempt. I have quite a few friends who got an early copy and said its the best Hitman to date and stays true to the series if you choose to play that way.

"Bu- bu- bu- you're just a troll who's attempting to throw sh*t at the game. My super smart amazing friendz got the gaem early and told me it's tha besttTtttttt!!"

Yeah here's the thing; every single way to deal with that guy requires QTE's and the way shown in the video is the only one that gives Silent Assassin rank. Hitman is dead, thanks to people like you and your amazing friends. Say hi to them from me.

Mocat4171d ago

meh, never been a fan of the hitman series, i played it though. but i liked splinter cell better best one was Pandora tomorrow imo

Hasanhastam4171d ago

I check some leaked videos and sadly its disappointing :very linear smal level even large level are linear and changing clothe is something that left from hitman series. Hitman is my favorite franchize but i hope it fail in reviews and sales to io knows fans didnt wait 6 year for this bullsh*t. Hitman is still king of stealth game.

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.
