Hitman: Absolution

[Nightmare]

Crap, I want all of them!

Gamestop gets nothing?

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

The GameStop pre-order is the Hitman: Sniper Challenge. The official announcement for it is excepted tomorrow.

 

[B]

Can't. ****ing. Wait. Much. Longer. For. This. To. Come. Out.

Is that playable until the game comes out? or only for a limited time?

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Cool suits. Altho nothing tops his classic. So i guess we can now start the missions with different attire? Pretty neat.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

Dont know if this was mentioned, but Hitman: Absolution will be out on November 20.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Finally, a release date. Looking forward to it.

Finally, a release date. Looking forward to it.

I know man. Iv been waiting for this moment since the minute i completed Blood Money. I just kept waiting and waiting and waiting. Telling myself that this was the year. Finally, i can point to a date on the calendar and say, yep, on this day, i play as 47...again....finally.

Now i just hope there are no delays.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Haha, I share that feeling as well. And yes, hopefully the game doesn't get delay. After Bioshock: Infinite, I don't think I can handle another delay for a game that I greatly anticipate.

Is that playable until the game comes out? or only for a limited time?

For those who pre-order the game from GameStop (in the U.S.), the challenge will be available beginning 15 May for PS3 and Xbox 360 owners & 1 August on PC.

I never played previous Hitman games but I seen videos on Youtube. I want to play this one.

 

[jacobed]

Damnit why'd it have to come out so late in the year. That time is going to be designated to Assassin's Creed 3 and Halo 4

The "Original Assassin" makes Conner and Master Chief look like b****es.

Even though the gameplay is outdated, they can still be wicked fun due to the plethora of options you have to take out your targets.

 

[jacobed]

Indeed he does, 47 is a complete bad ass and this looks stunningly amazing but I'm closer to those 2 franchises story wise

Yea i dont doubt that, i mean the Hitman series has a great storyline, it just isn't as cohesive as say an AC or Halo. Its always been more about the kill than anything else. It appears as though this game will kind of change that and deliver a more engaging story than previous titles.

 

[Nightmare]

I want to pre order this ASAP!

Yeah I'm sure they're engaging but I never had a pc or anything to play it.

 

[Crockett]

I can't believe it's been 7 years since Blood Money, man it's going to be good to start killing as 47 again.

 

[ProjectPat2280]

No kidding man. Its been far too long.

Still really curious as to who will be voicing 47. Would be bad ass if right before launch they announced Bateson was indeed coming back. Oh a man can dream.

Man I'd love that, one can only hope that the new VA will be as good as Bateson but it's just, it won't feel the same. Correct me if I'm wrong but we haven't heard the new VA for 47 talking in any gameplay videos?

I dont think so, 47 spoke once in like the first preview trailer we got, but there was no telling if that was a placeholder voice or if it was the new VA. If it was the new VA, he sucked. It was just a gravelly american voice which isn't in any way 47.

Thing I've liked about previous Hitman games is the replay factor. You can either try to stealth your way & do the best job possible or you can Terminator your way in with M16's killing everything in sight.

I still occassionally play the odd mission both Hitman Contracts & Blood Money, particularly the one(s) in Hotel's.

 

[Balthus Dire]

I think the Hitman games are some of the most replayable games ever. I fully expect this one to be the same.

The reports about the pre-order DLC game sound really promising as far as variety goes. You have to find clever ways to snipe without alerting guards, which include timing your shots so the body falls into a rooftop pond? That....that's just amazing...

 

[ProjectPat2280]

or you can Terminator your way in with M16's killing everything in sight.

Yea the only problem with that though, is that the games were never designed for you to go in guns blazing. The shooting mechanics have always been poor. One of the first things i wanted for Absolution was better gunplay. I mean iv never really tried to shoot my way through a level, but there'd be times when id screw up and then just say eff it and start blasting, but the game wasn't conducive to that at all. Ill always try to go the Silent Assassin route, but i do hope Absolution has some great gunplay that really showcases how deadly 47 is.

Something i do hope returns tho, which is my absolute fav Hitman element, unpacking your W2000 from its case, assembling it, then taking that perfect shot. So bad ass.
