    David Bateson (The original actor who 47 was modeled after and voiced the character) and Jesper Kyd (The music composer who wrote the amazing soundtracks for Hitman and Assassin's Creed) have been dumped. Also something named Instinct mode replaces the map, you have to refill it by carrying out stealth kills. This is slowly beginning to look like http://bit.ly/lnUjTA

    @kenny_gears1: Blood Money was a great game and there is alot of fun to be had with this title. You definitely don't need to have played any of the previous titles. It does look and feel a little dated now however but don't let that put you off, I spent hours trying to work out the best ways to perform hits (before I was connected to the 'net!) and recently got it out again and played through on all four settings again. Go on..... treat yourself to a great game at a bargain price!

    It Looks real good and realistic.visuals are amazing.Now for this bull they talking about some for new people coming into the franchise(easier)dont make it easy,make it realistic.in real life there isn't a set difficulty for anything so why should there be in here.no more difficulties.make it just realistic,dont make the A.I. super smart,make them think realistically.meaning if nobody saw you do anything,there shouldn't be any suspiscion,therefore making it like real life.if you cover up your tracks,there is no way they can track you down.and if I use a sniper rifle,I wanna be able to hold my breath.just make it realistic as possible without sacrificing anything and without messing anything up like assasin's creed did with multiplayer,multiplayer didnt belong in AC,yea it was an ok addition but not needed at all.just make the best,most realistic Hitman Game you guys can make.MMA 24/7 is out.

    Hittman bloodmoney was excellent. I am more excited for this than Modern borfare 3.

    47 is turning the silencer in the wrong direction. He's loosening it instead of tightening. Remember the right hand rule? Well...of course in the video...he's using left. But the rule in any thread follows the right hand rule. Imagine 47 using his right hand instead and turn the silencer in the same rotation direction as when he used his left. The direction of his right hand thumb points in the direction where the silencer will move and that is away from the barrel instead, which means he's loosening it. Am I right? Has anyone notice that also?

    "Easier to get into" = console simplification. Looking forward to the game though. Might be good. Hopefully the PC will get the attention it deserves and not just a bad console port.

    @cubs360 Cuz it's Hitman, man. ;-} Any adult gamer would/should agree this even upon just hearing about it screenshot's and footage aside is very easily the most anticipated game. Peace. \m/

    this game should have won probably most anticipated. Hitman simply rules and this one seems really quite promising.

  • SmilesGames

    Posted Jun 20, 2011 12:06 pm PT

    there was gameplay shown privately, you can find little snippets of the gameplay on youtube. search Hitman Absoloution E3 demo.

  • Speuj

    Posted Jun 20, 2011 7:53 am PT

    Ok..... soooo a game that shows no gameplay during E3 get's Game of the Show on pretty much all platforms?

    Alright then...

    Sounds like they're really taking the time and effort to make this a worth successor for a very unqiue and iconic series.

    The game looks amazing graphically!! I cant wait to play this, guaranteed win/win pretty much. They noted that their are too many hardcore fans out here to change the game too much which is why they are still going to include the more "Pro" difficulties. I just hope the level designs lend themselves to multiple paths of completion as well as in previous games. Please, please, PLEASE don't let us down Dev's! @clive-owen
    *spoiler alert*
    Since she turned on 47 at the end of blood money in case you don't recall, and it seems only implied the female in this vid is Diana, but how are we to know? I have never seen her before, anyone else?

    Hitman is back, and now is the most anticipated game for me, from 2012. I've been playing Hitman since the first game, back in 2000, since I was a little kid. But my favourite of the series is Blood Money(and the best game of the series, until now), and Silent Assassin. Since is the same team IO interactive that was behind the first 4 I really don't think this game will turn into a shoot'em up, like SCConviction, and I really don't understand why some of you are freaking out so much. Chill people, you cannot say how the game will be after seeing 60 seconds of gameplay. Remember that in Hitman, unlike SC you could've played the way you wanted, so you could've get the mp5 and kill everyone, or you could've go stealth, it was up to you, and from what I see this one will be the same. C'mon Hitman is their trademark they won't change it completely in terms of gameplay/atmosphere. Just because they've said that it will be easier for "normal players to get into the game" that doesn't mean the gameplay has completely changed. They also said that the hardcore fans will enjoy it, and the "hardcore elements are still there". So stop worrying and freaking out, cause this is definitely not the case.here.
    I'm so excited by this one, can't wait to come out and play it.

    there really is only 5 or so games i care about though. This is one of them. I dont care about Kinect stuff. Only PC. Im very interested in Hitman series. European games give you something a little more interesting sometimes over American titles. The story telling, gameplay, everything. Heaps of American developers (like EA) are so caught up in being like the #1 game seller, ive heard nothing else but WE WANT Battlefield to dethrone Call Of Duty and bla bla, rather than we just want to make the best game possible (what a crap focus in making a game). Whoever is #1 and making the money thats the only thing they care about. Then comes developers like this that just want to make a friggin great game and make good money to. I respect these developers so much more, that goes for STALKER and The Witcher also and even Starcraft is just trying to be a great game rather than trying to compete with anything else that goes for Bestheda Elder Scrolls series (and YES they are American and one of the good ones too ), they just want to make a great game, they dont care about competing with MAss Effect for sales glory. They know they dont have to.

    Is it still eidos&IOI; developing this game?
    DAMN IT! I love every single hitman game out there, there is simply no A.I. that has come close to the previous hitman games EVER, lets cross fingers and hope that the same people are responsible for making this game!
    My most anticipated game for the DECADE!

    Much Love.

    I should not of watched this, I've been waiting for so long to hear about a new hitman, but now it looks so beautiful and I have commplete faith their gameplay elements will be just as good. How the hell am I going to wait until 2012? Baaahhh.. looking beautiful.

    On the last Hitman: Blood Money, I only liked to play on Pro difficult to get the Silent Assassin status! But what makes that game perfect is the Stealth AI, the weapons customizations, the need to cover your tracks, or the possibility to create mayhem instead, and finish a mission with the Terrorist status! So, please, don't change that!! It's the essence of the game! To make this game more "playable" to new gamers, it's easy, just turn off the awareness of the AI. Make the game more "run and gun" without taking out the hardcore stuff. It's like the Operation Flashpoint game, they have the option to turn on or off the hardcore mode! A good example of what the "real" fans think about the way HITMAN is going now, is what happened to Splinter Cell Conviction fans. After the "less hardcore" approach, the game had a great number of selling copies, but hardcore fans got really disappointed! And now, Splinter Cell Conviction lost that "feeling" among the gamers. Splinter Cell was always remembered as something special, different! But now it's just a game!
    HITMAN is something different, is a game that's remembered as something special and it's not comparable to anything in the market. All the fans are worried about this "more playable to new gamers" decision! DEUS EX was something different too, lets see if they screw up with its fans like Splinter Cell did! Money can be good but can be spent real fast, but fame is forever! Do it right, and Hitman will end on the Hall of fame, or do it wrong, and lose that place.
