    Hitman 5 - Absolution looks really cool.

    Here is a preview:


    What do you guys think? Any Hitman fans?

    I love Hitman games, and adding Inception music (like adding Inception music to anything), makes it so awesome! :BIG SHOCK: :idea: Bacon AND Inception Music!!!! MADNESS!

    *That* looks impressive -- I thought the bit in the stoners den was quite good.

    This will be on my watch list -- I keep meaning to play through all the hitman games, I've only finished the second one though.

    OOO. I only played BM, but enjoyed it, this looks interesting! Not sure about the ability to see paths the enemy will take though

    i love everything but that "detective mode" which shows you where enemies will go. Is 47 clairvoyant now? Hopefully it can be turned off.

    I've been a fan of Hitman since the first was released so a new installment is always welcome.
    Seeing where they will go for sure takes away too much of the element of danger, and therefor fun. It's nice to get a peek at the game, but a release date would be more welcome. It's been a while waiting for a new good stealth game and Hitman has pretty much always delivered.

    If you wanted a challenge you could always play it blind-fold ;-)

    Looks really good, I've been waiting for the next Hitman for what seems like forever.
    I agree with Redbeaver about the x-ray and visual path bits, though I guess it shouldn't be too difficult to just ignore that feature and not use it.

    I read an interview with the devs and the x-ray vision malarky can all be turned off.

    As long as the X-ray can be turned off, I'm set on buying it.

    can be turned off?

    like, ingame flashlight toggles on-off.... or... set difficulty setting on-off?


    but my point with my previous post is i disagree with even the existence of those features in the game.

    theyve been doin this for all games these days. cant they create new IP instead of tarnishing the names of old legendary series?

    whats next? auto-win button in Street Fighter?

    i'll stop there before i start ranting like i did in BF3 thread lol


    man suddenly i miss Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear multiplayer.

    call me agent "batman" 47.

    47 seems to have developed some sort of psychic powers, what with the weird slow time effects when people say something and the detective vision.

    also, way to much guns blazing/killing people action in that trailer (especially near the start). run&gun should be a last resort in hitman :p

    That mission looked vastly less sandbox-y than previous hitman games, but i freaking love it.

    As a long time fan I'm a bit concerned, the detective mode looks rubbish, 47 and Diana have different voice actors, plus Jesper Kyd isn't doing the score.

    I'm sure it will be a good game but will it be as good as past games, not sure yet...

    Agreed, there should always be a way to complete the mission without alerting anyone, silent assassin style!

    Maybe there is, in this mission, but we did not see it as a possible path as we never had a look around. Or maybe... we are playing a scene where Agent 47 does a big mistake, where he becomes careless, and this is where the story starts.

    I don't think agent 47 really makes mistakes :p

    EDIT: just found out that David Bateson is no longer doing the voice of 47 (not of his own choosing) :'(
