Hitman Absolution Teaser Trailer

dannyjo22 · 29 May 2011 at 10:34

Those videos are awesome, some of the funniest youtube vids I've seen. Watched the first two and bookmarked the others for when my sons not floating about

Almost finished with the first one now. Just need the notoriety achieve, not bothering with Pro as I'm a clumsy **** and my chances of not having to shoot the joint up when I miss with the wire are nil. I need atleast one save.

Don't get too excited http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-27-hitman-absolution-to-be-more-accessible

Everytime I hear "more accessible" and "appeal to a wider audience" the game ends up being ruined because the developers can't decide who their game is aimed towards. I don't get how they can make it appeal to a wider audience without changing how the game plays and that for me is a big NO. The game isn't even that hard, I mean do they need a retard difficulty or something?

The rumours I read a couple of years ago are beginning to sound true now =/

If they dumb this game down I'm not going to be happy. If this goes the way of Splinter Cell then they can forget it.

Professional isn't really much different. The only difference I found was not having as much information about your targets and the guards movements on the map (and obviously having no saves). You could always give it a bash considering most missions can be done in under 15 minutes if you know what you're doing.

I've actually forgotten most of it even though I got silent assassin on every mission for every difficulty, I'd like to go through it again but after already doing everything I can't find any motivation to play it again.

Just about to start collecting all the weapons in the game for the final two cheevos that I need. I finally got around to finishing a level with a special rank, as well as bothering to fully upgrade the M4 and the W2000.

I'm dumb I loved the new splinter cell

I broke and played on, I've done them all so far upto Murder of the crows, not bothered with SA ratings yet. I can probably just about do 5 of them replaying, Curtains down, The one on the clinic, New Life, House of Cards, Heaven and hell levels I reckon.

I loved sniping those FBI agents!

Same, I wish I didn't add the bolt action upgrade though, so annoying when it unscoped after every shot!

I still need to play through on Rookie, I need to get 100 notoriety, I need to kill exactly 47 people in a level, I need to collect all the guns (yawwwn) and I need to get 5 SA's on Professional but I think I'll replay the whole single player for that one and just take my time.

Want it now. Have to go back and play Blood Money again

Don't forget with the notoriety you have to play through a new career. I killed every single guard on the medical level

I think it took me 3 levels. Curtains up I sniped the two targets from a balcony and then just killed everyone as they ran to my spot!

Murder of the crows is my least fav level. I just silencer killed everyone to get it done fast and shot the guy with the diamonds from the bookstore.

I never appreciated the depth of this game on the first run through, I see stuff every game where things could be done differently. Only today I noticed the piano hanging by a wire on murder of the crows.

My GOTY

I actually feel like playing some of the older ones

K1LLSW1TCH · 31 May 2011 at 23:23

Sounds like you're enjoying it! Thanks for reminding me about the notoriety thing, I'll have to start a new game then. I quite like Crows but it's quite long and boring running from place to place. Flatline is probably my favourite, I quite like Curtains Down though it's a bit long winded if you use the pistol replacing method which is the only one I'm really familiar with for S.A.

Playing the others sounds like a good idea, I'll have to set up the PS2 one day this week, Hitman 2 is probably my favourite, the levels in that were really awesome, I wonder if it still holds up nowadays. Contracts is probably my least favourite, it's got some good levels but I much prefer Silent Assassin, those Kuala Lumpur levels were ace, and the Japan ones too.

Not much to go by, but suppose we should see more tomorrow

HAz · 5 Jun 2011 at 18:59

yummy

K1LLSW1TCH · 6 Jun 2011 at 00:47

Looking good. E3 will hopefully reveal much more.

TurnipHead · 7 Jun 2011 at 21:33

Found a video on youtube. Not sure why no gaming sites have picked up on it yet?

dannyjo22 · 7 Jun 2011 at 21:37

I hope it's not as fast paced as that. I don't want them to move too far from hitman blood money. I even liked the more cartooney graphics of blood money.

Either way i can't wait to hear what this plays like.

RIZZEE · 7 Jun 2011 at 21:38

Hope it's a lot more stealth based than what that trailer shows

Although it didnt look like it I'm guessing it will be quite stealthy. I mean drowning and strangling means no distractions. Only time it was ever "loud" was when there was more than one guard to take care of.

Looks good anyways and I for one can not wait for it to come out. Just wish it would hurry up. Miles away and not much released on it but this by far is the game im looking forward to the most.

K1LLSW1TCH · 7 Jun 2011 at 22:11

I quite like the look of the Jason Bourne style takedowns, but I hope they don't sacrifice the traditional pace of the game for a more action oriented approach. I think IO will stay loyal to their fans though, is there a release date?

Zeebedy · 8 Jun 2011 at 11:34

Man, this looks good.

I don't mind how long it takes, the longer it's in development the more time they have to polish it, or that's how my brain works anyway.

I still need to do 3 or 4 Achievements on Blood Money I just can't be arsed to do them. -_-
