Been confirmed, But release date is unknown.

Interesting.

Blood Money was good. It still had a few problems in my opinion (not the must fluid game play out there ie. sneaking sucked, gun play sucked and etc) but as a whole package, it was pretty damn cool.

Damn I-O-I

still no freedom fighters 2.

but eh, hitman games are fun.

Christmas came early this year

IO interactive....they fail at doing the Kayne & Lynch games but succeed at Hitman.

I played The first and Second.
They were good, i just didnt like the controls.

They need to really punish you in these game somehow which makes you want to get the silent Assassin rank.

I love the Hitman games...although for me they don't have much replay value, I just end up going on rampages (when the level tolerates it that is). Would like to see what improvements they make for the next one.

I kind of went nuts the last time I played Blood Money though:

I did something similar when the hit in that level went wrong for the fifth time. Stupid Civilians why do they have to stand where my bomb is set to blow?

As I said before, I think if they just rework the controls and make it more fluid (I always find Hitman games very robotic), this would be a slam dunk.

Similar to how Splinter Cell Conviction made Sam Fisher a breeze to maneuver.

I'm the opposite. I always go for the Stealth Assassin grade and I get really pissed when I have to kill someone not the target.

Though its funny going to the highest place on the map and just going nuts with the sniper.

No you misunderstand me, I'm to all about the stealth and goes for Silent Assassin, however in that level (I believe it's the one where you have to kill the two at the vineyard) I, when wanted to drop the crate on the son always detonated it when the tour of civilians entered the door, I did that five times in a row and had to vent of my frustration on them

Sniping in the mission a new life, is just laughable. Hide in the treehouse and they can't find you.

Looks like the gameplay they described a while back. Great to see it in action. AI looks solid; gunplay looks decent, and the setting looks great too. I just hope it's not one awesome level and then a bunch of warehouses.

Yeah, decrepit warehouses are all the rage these days.

Looking forward to the game. I always enjoyed Hitman games but I always felt they had a really cool premise, interesting levels but the controls and game play mechanics (like walking and shooting ) were always suspect.

This looks like it will fix all those problems. I worry that this game might go to far away from the previous Hitman games.

I had the same worry about Splinter Cell Conviction, and that game (imo) turned out to be fantastic.

Yeah, I love Splinter Cell Conviction. I always thought that game would of been awesome because the pre-release advertising reminded of the series.

The video above doesn't remind of the previous games.. It looks like a more story based game but I don't actually see that as a bad thing because I'm a sucker for that type of story telling.

I think it looks great.

Wonder if they will try and make you get the Silent Assassin rank the others did, you could blast your way through a level if you wish and finish a level.

Maybe they'll let you choose...

They probably will.

I always tried to kill my target using handguns. I felt using the environmental kills as kind of lame.

Blasphemy...

Environmental kills took the idea that you can kill the target in any way possible and there isn't a right "way" to do it.

In Hitman: Blood Money, the developers conveniently put and told you about locations where you needed to be to kill the guy using the environment.

While I'm not saying take them completely, just have numerous ones where people can find out about them.

Originally posted by Utrigita

If you time it right for that kill you can get him on his own under the crates, either with the bomb above or with a close combat kill. It's also possible to get him as he enters the room with a poison needle, because there is a box to hide him in there.

The piling up the bodies thing is really time consuming though, you have to get them all to come at you in the area you want the pile-up. It's fun, but some levels are just way too big and you have find a sort of middle position that you can quickly drag the corpses to. I managed it on at least 6 levels (PS2), one level continually crashes and I need to plan some others.

I'm just pissed that they up and randomly dropped 47's voice actor.

I agree with that sentiment in the sense of targets who conveniently were standing on balconies or in front of some other large drop, but I believe the things like 'rigging' something to kill them was still a pleasurable way to go about it - because , lets face it , you still have to plan and figure out how the elements come together while minimizing other casualities (like with the bombs). With constant replay it's always going to be boring after a while.

By using only handguns you only have a choice of two if you want it to be silent and that was a low point for me; that you couldn't individually 'attach' a silencer to other pistols to get more variety. You could mean just using the pistols in a loud way but on certain levels if you did that you would be quickly surrounded and busted in terms of the rating.

I just liked using silenced handguns because I felt like a spy from the movies.

In Blood Money, having the environmental kills took what made the series original. Pure, organic way of thinking. Previous assassination targets in previous games had multiple ways of killing them but the designers never pointed it out to you. In Blood Money they did. I didn't feel like an assassin but more of a guy who is not playing the game the right way.

Other games, you felt like an assassin because you planned it yourself. It's a very small thing but I felt like it made a huge difference in how the game felt.

To be fair they only point out the location of the 'key' areas in Blood Money; you still have to figure out the way to use that area to complete the hit. I agree it would have made more of a challenge had they been removed or lessened but at the same time with the earlier games you could be floundering around not knowing what to do sometimes and some missions would end up in chaos (and with those 'instant fail' missions it's highly frustrating to keep trying).

I think its all about the balance really between the challenge and still being able to follow the various paths to a high rating. I only play the 'rookie' rating because I'm a chicken, so I don't know if these 'points of interest' are removed or not as the difficulty is increased. Even if they are not you've still got the lack of saves and all the other added conditions to make it more of a challenge.

To say I'm a huge Hitman fanboy is an understatement.

I'll be there on release night drooling at the mouth ready to break another Hitman game.

The introduction of melee takedowns is exciting. I reckon 47 is gonna save Diana and the two of em are gonna take everybody down.

Things I want-

-The ability to take down an entire guard army trapping a target in their retreat like in the dock level in Hitman 1.
-For the AI in the game to have a clockwork precision timing when making their routes.
-Silent Assassin speed trials online. And I heard from people inside that levels will be released as online content.
-Quick escape levels like the last level in Hitman 3. When a swat team is moving through the apartments you are holed up in and you must not only escape but kill the fed out in the street.
-Weapon collecting.
-Newspaper ratings system like in Blood Money but more clever.
-49 clones.

I just want better controls.

I always found the Hitman series to have crap controls.

The first and second required complete personalisation of the controls.

The 3rd and 4th did too to a degree. They were games where you had to have complete memorisation of the controls to have complete proficiency. But editing was crucial.

I'm sure the new game would have an evolved system.

Control also involves how the character feels to play and I always felt like Hitman games felt very wooden.

There now two Hitman games coming as Square-Enix expand their studios

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-10163-New-Hitman-Game-in-the-Works-as-Square-Enix-Expands-its-Studios.html

Don't know about Square getting there little hands on my baby!

They will only be a publisher

for these Hitman games i still haven't finished Blood Money and i've haven't touched the first game.

Blood Money is good.

I wouldn't bother with the first. It controls like shit and I remember being frustrated with it because it was more like a demo/experiment. The second game I had a good time with years ago but I recently played it and I was so frustrated with a few areas of it. It was just not forgiving.

Hitman: Contracts was a collection of new missions and old missions from the first game and I had a fun time playing it. I remember them adding a lot of new ideas to it.

Hitman Codename 47: A personal classic. But I don't recommend it to newcomers. Controls need personalized editing and some levels require many replays to get perfect completion.

Hitman 2: Silent Assassin: Had an awesome first level but the rest were unmemorable. I actually consider this one to be worse than the first.

Hitman Contracts: A beautiful game that remade the earlier past games best levels + some new ones. Excellent final level. Just play this one first if new to the series.

Hitman Blood Money: A must. The Mafia goon under Fed protection in suburbia is probably one of my fav levels of all.

I like the casino/hotel hit the best, with all the sneaking around, fiber wiring and the satisfying conclusion with my souped up rifle.

I fully completed the game on 'rookie' and with a little help from the internet managed to secure all the weapons; although the practice room is rubbish on that game - a better target range, moving bodies to test the fiber wire/needle/knive throwing and a bomb testing area would have been a lot better.

All you get is a slapdash pile of boxes, jars and rats to shoot at, with a limited supply of ammo.

While I kinda agree, I think that Hitman 2 was, while not the best (but better then Contracts that just recycled old maps imo) still was important for the development that Hitman as a genre has taken. IIRC (and granted it's been a long time since I played the first) but it was in Silent Assassin that you first got the Silent Assassin mark when you performed a flawless hit, which in itself was very satisfying. Codename 47 had a bit to much scoot and shoot, but it as a contrary the later hitman games had some interesting choices in regards to equipment and so forth.

That looks pretty damn good.

cKlEjPMXC1I

Awesome.

Yeah pretty cool. Did you see the amount of scars on his body?

Makes it look like he could actually take the amount of damage he took in the older games. Does he have a Healing Factor? Hard to believe considering a single bullet nearly took him down for the count in Contracts.

I'm looking forward to KungFuing nuns though. Has anyone purchased the preorder game yet?

You get to do sniper missions.

I really like how intent they are on giving you so many avenues to deal with your target.

I'm going to wait on Steam for a sale.

PC Gamer was not impressed whatsoever with the game. The few things they said were stuff that would annoy me. AKA, no save feature during mission and when a checkpoint happens, enemies you have killed/disposed come back.

5XLrtLsGt_g

That was pretty funny.

I'm glad he outright admitted several times that he's not a gamer and has absolutely no intention of ever playing it, unlike Samuel L. Jackson, who's hosted the Spike Videogame Awards on several occasions even though he's stated in interviews that he doesn't like video games and doesn't let his daughter play them. lol

Been playing this since yesterday.

So far, I'm pretty happy with it. Definitely more good than bad, and I'm already looking forward to the next time I get to play it.

Loved Absolution, so hoping this is just as good if not better.

Absolution was awesome!
Hoping for more "accidental deaths".

Yep. We need even more options than last time. Ideally, a hybrid between Absolution and Blood Money.

Seeing stuff like "Mobster killed in freak weightlifting accident" was awesome because you knew that you strangled that guy and that explanation was the best they could come up with.

big talk, but let's see what it's like in reality. they need to fix the disguises and the checkpoints.

The new Hitman game is a reboot?

Nope. It's like this open world game where developers release periodic assassins contracts every so often. Some can be only done in a certain amount of time.

Not sure if there is a story element though.

Hope they improve on the skill system.....it was pretty meh in Absolution imo.
Like the idea of "skill based equipment".

I was under the impression that there isn't a story mode like previous version of the games. From what I heard and understand is that they will periodically releasing assassination contracts.

I'm not sure if these contacts include an actual story that you play through (similar to Destiny) but I was under the impression that a contract includes a place where a NPC resides and you need to assassinate. I think it's a bit more involved that just a dude walking down the street and it involves interesting elements (for ex. the dude in the trailer is part of fashion show and it seems you need to inflitrate and kill him there) but it will not be the same as Blood Money.

That's what I took. I also don't think it's strictly online but you will need to be able to download the data for each contract.

In the end, I think it's a Hitman game with Destiny-ish mode.

Meh...i don't like what they're doing with it.

If that's true, then it sucks.

Sounds like it is true from what i read. They're basically saying that they're going to be releasing the game unfinished.

Damn that's ass....ermm

Yep.

The idea is sometimes they can create the content based on fan feedback....blah blah blah.

I think it's bullshit. It's software as a service in my opinion.

I don't understand why they can't have a dedicate single player like the past Hitman games (which I think everybody wants) and then have a online component where you get added contract assignments as well.

Personally, open world games make sense for a fair bit of games. Far Cry in open world made a lot of sense because Far Cry was a pretty wide open game. Same with other games as well. I don't know if Hitman would work as open world game. I always got pleasure from Hitman on the location of the missions and the many ways of assassinating somebody. For instance, the missions structure in Blood Money is fantastic. Each level would have it's uniqueness that an open world game would not have.

Oh well....let's see what they do with it but I'm kind of annoyed they decided to get away from Absolution (which hardcore fans didn't really want) but instead of taking it back to it's roots, they decided to step the other direction completely.

TBH I'm still not sure that's what we're getting.

On the SQEnix forums, one of the mods said flat out that there would be a story mode. The trailer, from what I saw, implied that there would be both story AND online.

If it's just online, then that sucks obviously. I'm just not ready to go one way or another.

Maybe. I don't know.

For some reason, the messaging on this game if ****ed. They say there is a story mode but every interview I have seen suggest that there isn't a dedicated story mode like previous game but instead assassination contracts released periodically.

The developer even said during the PC conference show that they are releasing on Dec 2015 so they can get the game into people's hands instead of making them wait until next year....

I noticed Hakan didn't seem to want to discuss if there was going to be an actual story or not but I am hoping there will be. It sounds good as it is anyway. Perhaps it's an NDA type situation?

So the closed Alpha started today. Anyone that's done a survey for them in the past few months, check your email!

I've done the survey, but no word of the alpha just yet.

If I do, definitely.

Some leaked stuff here from the closed Alpha.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HiTMAN/comments/3c2qtz/hitman_alpha_content_leaked/

I don't know where Square Enix is going with Hitman. So you buy the game but won't get all the missions, they'll only come out a bit at a time throughout next year like if you bought GTA and all the missions for that aren't present and have to wait for the rest via update yet the publisher denies it being like purchasing an early access. I'm so confused.

It's software as a service. Or kind of like a more polished Steam early access title.

The devs excuse is that they can get the game out earlier if they do it this way and that they can tailor the new missions with feedback from the fans. Previously, they said they couldn't do that.

I call bullshit. I hate this this crap. Just give me the full ****ing game later on.

You'll probably be able to buy the full game later as a bundle or something.

Over the past two years, my gaming philosophy has pretty much switched to only buying games a year or so after they come out. It's... really ****ing helpful.

I know. I try and I try but those games look soooo goood!

In honesty, games like this I will wait until all it gets ****ing released. I feel the same way about Early Access on Steam. Knowing my habits, I would get bored before all the features get implemented.

I still do my homework and wonder if the game warrants full price and I do take advantage in trading games in so it's not too bad. I also have access to game rentals so any games that are 10 hours and less and no reply value (a game like Heavy Rain for ex.) I will rent. I did that with The Order: 18whogives ashit

Your not alone. I'll wait until the full package is released and then buy it, this sounds a bit to ambitious and abstract for my taste.

And who knows if they will ever finish the ****ing thing.

At least with a full package, you know what you are getting. With this, 6 months after released they say, "we have completed all missions"....and they only did 3 more. I don't trust any of it.

But Destiny sold a bajillion copies and they essentially did the same thing but worst because you have to pay for the extra content.

would i have to have played the previous games to understand this one?

Nope, not even likely.

Though I recommend it, Absolution was a lot of fun imo.

I like Absolution as well. It kind of modernized how it played. The previous games were ****ing horrible in terms of controls. They were incredibly stiff. Absolution fixed that.

This looks like a Hitman game. Nothing to exciting.

From the way he worded it, maybe there will be a story mode?

http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/01/14/hitman-goes-fully-episodic-releasing-new-locations-as-add-ons

Interest went from a definite buy to flatlining quick. Getting real tired of this episodic bs.

Yeah, I just wait until it all gets released before thinking of buying. That's what I do with Telltale developed games.

I was a big fan of the gameplay trailer, so I'll personally wait and see how it turns out. I'm not against episodic content as a concept, so the execution will be what matters to me.

Me neither. It is kind of annoying how companies are now doing it when it really doesn't make sense to do so. It works with Telltale games or other heavy story light gameplay series but something like Hitman? Nah.

I ****ing hope EA releases Mass Effect 2 Remaster in an episode format. Who wouldn't want to play a story mission plus character side mission per episode!

Agreed,

But for the life of me, I'm not understanding the benefit on releasing in episodes. Is it about limiting risk? I'm not sure.

I understand a game like Walking Dead gets released in a episode format. It's based on a show and it's an extremely linear experience.

But a game like Hitman? What, after the mission, do you just walk around and turn in normal life mode where nobody knows you kill people. Do you do laundry? Or maybe some groceries? Do you grab a drink with friends? It's kind of dumb.

A game like Alan Wake was designed to be an episode format but was released with the whole game and it worked brilliantly because it gave me a good time to turn the game off when I needed to do something.

It's the "in" thing now, I guess. Plus, it's Square-Enix. They're already doing it with FF7, so it could be a company mandate.

But no, it doesn't make sense from a narrative point of view.

kLvDRZbciRE

Damn it. I wanted to hate this game because of the episodic sh*t, but that looks sooo good. I have to get it. Comes out Thursday night btw

I've got it bought and preloaded. I'm also playing the entirety of absolution today to prepare myself. I'm pretty hyped.

Guys, this is the best stealth game I've played in years. The whole "lack of content" argument is legit if you cant stand going back through missions to accomplish challenges and contracts in different ways. If you can, it has tons of replayability. I squeezed out hours from each of the prologue missions alone. They could have made a bunch of missions like the prologue ones, released them as a full game, and it would have still been great. The main map, however, is on another level.

I also like the fact that they don't take it as seriously. The NPCs are awesome. The random shit you find them doing or saying to themselves has made me lol on multiple occasions. It reminds me of old school metal gear. All the characters you're supposed to assassinate are all well voice acted and unique too (as if this was ever a problem,; absolution had some GOAT villains and dialogue). THIS is how a stealth sandbox should be done. If you guys were on the fence, and are ok with whats outlined in the first paragraph, get this game. Waaaay better than MGSV

How big are the maps on avarage?

http://media.bestofmicro.com/Q/4/528412/gallery/Hitman-Paris-stats_w_755.png

If you haven't, its pretty huge. I'd say a good 3/4s of the MGS: Ground Zeroes map and packed to the brim with activity and content. The two prologue/tutorial maps are much smaller than the main, but both are still pretty spacey and take hours to max out.

The problem is, they're rolling out each map separately and in waves (one a month), so they're all pretty big but you have a wait between each one. There going to be 6 maps with the finished product, and they are going to continue to give out maps in the future for free. They plan on supporting this game for a good 4 years with free content, and are more looking at this game as a launch platform for future stories and maps as opposed to a one and done game. It has no micro-transactions and never will either so 60 is the max you'll pay for it all too.

Taking that into account, it might be worth waiting a month or two for the next two maps to come out before jumping in if you're worried about lack of content. They also have an intro pack where you can buy each pack as it comes out. The current intro pack is $15. In the end, you'll end up playing 5 dollars more so its not a bad deal if you want to try it out.

Jaysus.

Absolution was sweet!

Think Im gonna get Dark Souls 3 1st then this .
The whole free content stuff does sound good though.

As awesome as the stealth is, I'd say hold off until they patch away the online only stuff and release at least two more maps.

I'm a PC gamer, and I tend to inevitably get Steam gift cards for Christmas presents, so I planned to pick it up then. Hopefully it'll be in a good state by then.

Keep us posted Arachnic. Like PR I have considered buying but the whole setup just seems weird to me.

I will say though, that now season 1 is done, it's definitely worth it. The 6 maps are all huge, packed with content, and have tons of replayability. You should be able to find the full package for less than 60 by now, but I don't regret buying it a full price at all.

Display him and WHAT (I am)! You decide. You'll only lose. Read the signs? 2s will find them, I don't (what) have to do anything but prolong your suffering. Request a man, you'll get it (9" shot down) - always by Jehovah!

https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/11/15623158/io-interactive-square-enix-split-hitman This is old news by now, but IO went independent and managed to take the rights to Hitman with them.

They're coming out with the GOTY edition on the 7th. If you guys haven't picked up the game now, this is the full edition with tons of extra content. Nows the time to get it if you haven't. Hitman is one of the only 10/10 games this gen IMO

I still miss the Newspaper Headlines. That was a perfect system that would've been great to bring back with all the creative ways you can off people in this one.

I miss all the post mission stats and write ups. Even a cool modern tablet news site or something just to see the media reaction to 47s actions would be a good add. Hopefully thats something they bring back in Season 2
