E3 2011: Hitman: Absolution Trailer Suggests a New Direction

Post by nachosjustice @ 08:48am 08/06/11 | 11 Comments

The last Splinter Cell game divided fans in terms of its more action-oriented approach at the expense of stealthier tact. Reports of a new Hitman game have been circulating since 2007, but it wasn’t until the release of the uber-teaser trailer in May that we learned the game was called Hitman: Absolution. A new CGI trailer has dropped at E3 and seems to have taken a leaf out of the action-focussed approach to Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Hitman Absolution follows Agent 47, a cold blooded assassin, who takes on his most dangerous contract to date. Betrayed by those he trusted and hunted by the police, he finds himself at the centre of a dark conspiracy and must embark on a personal journey through a corrupt and twisted world, in his search for the truth.

As long as you can still set up an awesome hit I'm not fussed.
The older games were more disguises, distractions etc as opposed to Splinter Cell style stealth so I don't think it would hamper it too much

You could always do the full-frontal assault approach in Hitman, but it wasn't nearly as satisfying as taking the tactful option.

while the accident kills were rewarded most, i loved using the fiber wire and hide the body.

I loved going birko to weird music. Something about the coldness of 47 really took it to the next level.

On the trailer though, I assume this is just to generate a bit of 'buzz' about the game. He's obviously displeased with Diana and coming to 'talk'.

I think it's more of an anger device rather then a hint at gameplay. If the puzzle nature of Hitman isn't there, then they have doomed the rest of the franchise.
