Rant Gaming writer discusses what kinds of locations would make for great mission settings in the upcoming Hitman: Absolution by IO Interactive and Square Enix.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
I would like to see a lot of those locations too.
Soccer stadium with many people is great location.
Those are good but I would also love to see a airport terminal (indoors and on the parking apron) with a possible mid air section to it if you don't hit your mark before he boards.
You could use a lot of disguises like ground workers, mainence workers, attendants, security, pilot etc etc. Added with the metal detectors and huge crowd ability of Hitman games it would be fantastic (IMO)
and before anyone mentions..I am not talking about bringing any planes down, but preventing it might be cool (as agent 47 has prevented similar things before)
A funfair might be nice. Could be worth seeing how 47 reacts to riding a roller coaster, or even say, assassinating a target by arranging an 'accident' where he would fall off while the roller coaster is hanging.
A hospital or horror film set
