Why would this game be any better than all the previous disappointing game by IO Interactive?


What?!?! Are you forgetting the amazing game, Mini Ninja? (Seriously, great game) And all the past Great Hitman games? You seem to be focusing only on the two duds from the Kane & Lynch Series. All they have to do is keep the core from past Hitman games and this one will be Amazing!!!!

You wanna know another studio that made some shitty games back in the day? Rocksteady Studios. Yeah, they made the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham series. But what else have they made?. They made some piece-of-shit called Urban Chaos: Riot Response. You probably didn't hear about it, and rightfully so. The game is shit by all standards. It took them a while to pump out their masterpieces Akrham City & Arkham Asylum. Some developers just suck at making some types of games versus another type. The same applies to IO, except they already have their masterpiece with Hitman!!!!!

Wait you impoted a copy of Urban Chaos: Riot Response?

Looks like the reboot the series needed to garner better sales. After playing Blood Money it felt like the franchise was still stuck in the last generation. That isn't a bad thing though considering what this generation is like.


Blood Money was a last generation game. O_o


I played it on the 360, just realized it was on the Xbox too. Time flies.

Understandable. But I assure you, this new game will be more advanced than Blood Money.

Did you complete Blood Money? How did you play it? Guns Blazing, killing everyone in sight, or Silently, only killing your target?

Yes but what matters is what the studio has done recently not what it used to do. For all we know most of the key employees and the best ones might have left the company. Look at Rare for example.

Like with MGS, both ways through 2 playthroughs. I like games that give you the choice to play it like that. I hope there are no forced action sequences though like SC: Conviction.

After seeing some videos of Hitman, I don't think it would turn out like Splinter Cell. The videos showed off the action component of the game, and rightly so considering the state of the inudustry, but it still showed that it was possible to complete the level without killing anyone. I guess we'll see when it releases.

Did you get Silent Assassin on each level?

I can't wait! :D

oh man i do look forward to this, but why is it out at the worst time of year. i hate october and november because they overcrowd the months. release the damn games in the summer, when i have more time to play and more money. i mean theres at least 5 retail games i want that come then, i cant afford them all though :( borderlands 2, assassins creed 3, black ops 2, far cry 3 and gta 5 (if it comes out this year!!) not enough time for all these. still can't wait for new hitman footage :)

Not that I remember, might consider it for Absolution, the new tracking mechanics look interesting.
