And some info, too!

“For the first time we are taking Agent 47 on a personal journey which allows us to explore other parts of the Hitman fantasy. This is both a familiar and yet significantly different experience from other Hitman games; something our silent assassins will relish, as will all those new to the Hitman world.”

Might as well turn this into a Hitman discussion thread.

What's everyone's favorite levels?

Mine are:
The hotel mission from Contracts and only because I went Postal in it on occasion.
The level where you are in the Russian depot and have to sneak into the Russian base
The first mission in Silent Assassin
And the final level of blood money.

Really loved the demo mission for the first Hitman...in the game I think it was actually the second run. Where you had to off one of the guys at the meeting and the police chief and make it look like the other Triad did it.

I always did it Michael Corleone style; entered the restaurant before the meet, left a gun in the bathroom, then went and killed the Red Dragon negotiator, entered pretending to be him, then went into the bathroom, retrieved my pistol, and shot my targets before fleeing.

In Blood Money, I really loved the mission where you had to whack the father and the son during a wedding. I did that really clean and quiet, but do not remember how.

The New Orleans mission from Blood Money was also fun.

The father and son mission was in New Orleans.

Edit: Wait no, the Father in Son was in the Louisiana swamps, the New Orleans was Martigras, my mistake.

Loved the bit at the rehab clinic. Several targets which can be neatly dispatched by staging accidents.

I liked the hotel and white house missions in Blood Money

That's not very Hitman-y.

One thing I like about the series is the option to complete a level with 1 bullet/bomb/exploding stove/dumbbell/falling chandelier/poisoned drink/good ol' fiber wire strangle/falling piano/shove. Not seeing anything like that yet.

Spike88 · 06-09-11, 02:43 PM

Some actual gameplay.

I love the fact you can use items from the world as a weapon.

I dont like the fact you can hang from ledges now.

I get the impression they're are turning it into... whatever they are turning Tomb Raider into as well. Not a bad thing per se, probably will be a bit different though.

Square Enix... not a bad influence, not at all. But maybe not ideal for a Hitman game?

Peep talks about Absolution: http://www.vg247.com/2011/08/18/47-i...th-absolution/

Quote:

...

“We really don’t see it as a reboot,” game director Tore Blystad tells VG247 an interview yesterday in Cologne.

“The first four games were very much in succession, an evolution. We knew the technology was kind of holding us back, so we wanted to start from scratch and build something better.

“And we got the time, the money from the board to actually make a new engine. We’ve had very little compromises from our management building this game. So it’s very much the Hitman game we wanted to make.”

16 minute video of the E3 Demo Walkthrough. Haven't finished watching it myself as my internet is being slow at the moment:

Can't say if I'm getting a hitman vibe of the game(especially with the new voice), but I did get a Bourne Identity movie vibe going. Might have to get it on that merit alone.
