Colossus 2 Posted June 14, 2011 Kotaku: Hitman Absolution Promises an Evolution in Agent 47 Kills, Skills and Personality I haven't read the article yet. Just a couple of comments. Apparently there are now highlighted routes and visual clues, which makes me wonder how much some folks out there needs a holding hand when things get a bit difficult.

PuFu 4600 Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) here is a video that mixes the trailer with some leaker ingame footage. If you ask me, it looks like assasin creed with guns...too much violence, too little stealth...pity C0w21Cvuq_A Edited June 14, 2011 by PuFu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted June 14, 2011 I haven't read the article yet. Just a couple of comments. Apparently there are now highlighted routes and visual clues, which makes me wonder how much some folks out there needs a holding hand when things get a bit difficult. It might be just like with the map in the other Hitman games, where as you turn up the difficulty it shows you less info. Really looking forward to this one, still have good memories from Blood Money. About damn time that Kane and Lynch crap came to an end, why they completely abandoned intelligent gameplay and went for mindless crap I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roberthammer 582 Posted June 15, 2011 P9VY_mIK3B4 There will be stealth alot ,but theres mission where cops are looking for you - thats why there will be more action - am sure there will be missions with same stealth like in older Hitman games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cyper 18 Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) WTF? They made it so 47 can READ MINDS? It's really about making it fun. All games should be fun. What really bugs me off with this game is not only that I am very worried that it will be dumbed down, but also the fact that Jesper Kryd won't create the soundtrack for the game anymore, aswell as Bateson won't be 47's voiceactor. Also, a members at their official forums said he mailed Bateson about this: ''From: david@davidbateson.dk Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:56:32 +0200 Subject: Re: Hitman Absolution - New Voice Actor? To: emil_beerholt@hotmail.com Hi Emil The absolute truth is: no one from IO Interactive is answering my calls, e-mails or sms. Feeling very let down at the moment but I haven't heard personally Cheers David Sent from my iPhone On Jun 10, 2011, at 0:32, <emil_beerholt@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi David I'm a big fan of the Hitman series and your voice work, which is why I'm writing this email. According to a recent article in video game magazine Edge, IO interactive allegedly dropped you as the voice actor for Agent 47 and went with someone else. I was very shocked when I heard about this, and I felt like IO had betrayed not only you, but the fans aswell. The Hitman fans have grown to love your distinctive voice as Agent 47, and many of them are now literally going crazy over at the hitmanforum.com, demanding an answer from IO. Is there any way you can confirm or deny this? If not, maybe a short and vague comment about it? I would really appreciate that, and I think all of your fans would too. If it is in fact true, then I can safely say that Hitman will never be the same again. I will keep this between us, if that is what you wish. Thank you for all your work. Now if you'll excuse me, "I need to use the bathroom". ;-) Sincerely'' Edited June 16, 2011 by Cyper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted June 16, 2011 That's weird. Why would they drop a popular voice actor when he even seems to want the role? He only needs to record about five lines since 47 hardly talks :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krycek 349 Posted June 16, 2011 Although dumbification began long time ago lately lots of producers went into extreme retard mode.I truly hope it's not Hitman case too.Did the "special" category really exploded this year or something that so many devs jumped on it? So no Jesper Kyd(I love his work,I listen some of his soundtracks even when I'm not playing a game). No Bateson voice Too much action(maybe I'm wrong and it's only the trailer) Bring on mark&execute,regen health and some visual tips that say "this npc threatens you with a gun".

Cyper 18 Posted June 16, 2011 I cannot understand why they didn't want Bateson as 47s voiceactor. That must eventually be the most stupid move one can make and as a matter of fact It's been causing a fuzz at official forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
