Blood Money spoiler ahead:
So this is Arkham Asylum but without being Batman?...
Look at 6:00~, he just walks in the middle of them all. Try that in Blood Money and you'll be dead in 5 sec.
First Splinter Cell, now Hitman. What's next?
So it seems like he did die in the last mission and got replaced by this retard without a map.

This trailer doesn't really worry me. I mean if you watch the trailer for blood money it's full of action. The thing that does worry me is the supposed things they removed, things like the map, manual saves and the game being set exclusively in the US. Also style wise it's seeming a bit bland, seems like the grimdark style that tonnes of things have these days and personally I don't like it. Hopefully the game proves me wrong when it comes out, because I really want this to be good.
Ah! I just want to grab IO by the scruff of their neck, shake them furiously and scream, "YOU ARE NOT ARKHAM ASYLUM!! YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!"
And is that... a cover mechanic I see?! No no no no no!!! I refuse to believe it! I absolutely refuse to believe it! Not until I'm sat down actually playing the game, do I believe that IO have fucked this up so much.
Guys; what is it about this generation that's stopping you from physically making quality games?

They already responded to fan backlash by saying they won't be dictated by fans. So yeah...gyroscopeboy said:

For the love of gods lads, you've seen this trailer, plus seventeen minutes of the first level, which is very likely a tutorial. Now I'm a huge fan of the Hitman series. I think they're some of the most clever games ever made, and I had endless fun playing them through on a repeated basis and doing each level differently to the time before. As much as I'm worried by the cover system and the Instinct vision, and as irritated as I am by the lack of the old voice actors for 47 and Diana, there is no basis for writing the whole game off as a loss based on this extremely limited amount of footage. Talk about knee-jerk reactions like...
Well, that doesn't particularly look like it will play as the Hitman games of the past did.
That being said, what I see looks fucking awesome. The stealthy cover system looks just as good as it did in Human Revolution, and the general banter between all the police officers was brilliant.
It may be a shame that we're all potentially losing the great gameplay of past Hitman games but at least they're being replaced by something that looks like it will be fun to play.

The atmosphere in the gamplay trailer was great, these awkward situations like running through a hippie place dressed as a cop, but that instinct crap bothers me as well. I don't know how long I spent on the map screen in the previous games... Don't wanna write it off for now, but my expectations are low.
Wow. They copy pasted the stealth mechanics from Deus Ex HR (sure like to save money don't you Sqeenix!) and gave 47 a see through wall augmentation...
Small portion of the game this maybe it still doesn't bode well at all. For one where's the charm? None of the kills were vaguely amusing or creative. At least be able to topple bookcases onto the guards or something.
I hope this is all wrong and the game is actually hard as nails and keeps it's trial and error approach. So far it's looking retardedly easy...

Holy shit, this explains it.jonyboy13 said:
Anyway, what royally pisses me off is how neither Bateson or McKee were asked back for the game. I found some info on the game, and honestly, this turns me off from the game. I ususally don't judge a game based on VOs and what not, but Bateson and McKee are the characters they voice. For me, bringing them back seems like a no-brainer. It's almost like not having David Hayter voice Snake in MGS4, or getting rid of Nolan North from Uncharted 3. They've become their characters, and this only serves to piss off loyal fans of the game.

We are not saying that it is instantly going to be a rubbish game because they've changed a few things, we're just worried that some of the mechanics they've implemented seriously seem to indicate a dumbing down in gameplay and less freedom to mess around in the levels, so the game may lose the style and originality that the franchise is famous and praised for.MisterDyslexo said:
They seem to borrow a lot of mechanics from other stealthbased games: Cover based mechanics from Deus Ex, human shields from Splinter Cell, detective vision from Arkham Asylum, bloomin' tag and execute from the latest Splinter Cell. These aren't neccessarily bad things, (apart from the Tag and execute, that can go die in a fire.) But the legitimate worry is that they will change the feel of the gameplay so the only thing it has in common with the previous games is the barcode on the back of 47's head.
The great thing about the previous games was working out all the ways you could stealthily kill your targets, the fundamental idea behind the game was that the best assassin is the one no one sees, who comes, kills only the target, and leaves without anyone noticing, although you also had the freedom to Rambo it up with a wide selection of fun guns if you felt so inclined. The worry we have is that in borrowing gameplay functions from these other games it will also borrow their restrictions on your ability to stealth through the missions, such as Deus Ex's flow breaking and much maligned forced boss fights, Splinter Cells Conv.s complete lack of any proper stealth at all (actually that whole game can go die in a fire) and the focus will move further away from poisoning food, throwing fuel cans down chimneys, running around dressed as a bell-boy etc. etc.
The game may be good, it may be bad, but it will definitely be a lot different from the previous games, and it's stupid to say that's not a legitimate cause for concern.
Go watch the full mission.
I don't know. On it's own merits, it certainly looks fun. I think it will be able to be a standalone stealth game.
It's just not very Hitman. Would have much rather had them start a brand new IP.

Feels like what they did to Splinter Cell in Conviction.UnderCoverGuest said:
But that's okay. I was skeptic as hell of conviction, but I fucking loved that game. Played through campaign a bunch of times because there was so much variety in the paths. Obviously not as much as Chaos Theory, but enough to make it fun and interesting while making it more fast paced.
Besides, when I want to play a stealth game I just pop Chaos Theory back in. It's still an awesome game. I beat Blood Money on Silent Assassin difficulty, the whole damn game. I think Absolution will offer new and interesting gameplay, and I'll be happy to try it out.
