New Hitman: Absolution trailer "Introducing Agent 47"

The game is looking good so far. Of course, we can still play like a Silent Assassin.

Excited as hell for this. Been itching for another good stealth game.

I really like the varied landscapes. Did they announce a release date yet? I was hoping summer, but something tells me it wont release until the holidays.

If only they hadn't put up such a drama with the series' long-time composer, Jesper Kyd. I'm questioning buying the game just because of their rude behavior towards him.

I don't know what to think. It doesn't look as open as the previous games.

What's the story?

just can't wait for this game, dying to know what's the release date.

This game is turning out very nicely. I like how the developers are giving us more leeway in how we decide to play the game. Chances are I'll keep to a more stealth-like approach, only taking the more aggressive route when I make a mistake from which I cannot recover. Either way, the game looks great, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it.

The gameplay looks to be more or less the same as previous Hitman titles. I mean, you could go in guns blazing in Blood Money, although it's much more satisfying to sneak around, knock out the enemy, take on their appearance and hide their body. One thing I've noticed however is that you can now perform deadlier executions. The game also looks better visually when compared to the 'Run For Your Life' trailer from a while back.

I'm pretty sure we'll see the game release by autumn of this year.

That's true. In Blood Money, though, you (or I) could tell that the game wasn't really made for the more aggressive path whenever you decided to take it; it would, like you said, be much more satisfying to use stealth. It seems like they've accommodated for that path a lot more now, making it equally fun to play both ways. That's what I got from the trailer, anyway. A lot of room for improvisation, too, which could be very interesting and dynamic.

And that's fantastic. Should have a job by then, meaning I'll be able to get it when it releases.
