Linki Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 A screenshot of 47's face leaked on the Hitman forums. It's gone now however. 47 looked a lot older, mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlitement Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How can he age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolleroz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I bet they will never reveal what happened at the end of BM, they'll just have 47 back with Diana with no explanation.but if they continue with the series, I hope the way missions will be set up with 47 being rouge and missions being given by heaps of different, REALISTIC (no more clones) people. Gun customization is a must too. How are clones unrealistic? Just cause something hasn't been done yet doesn't mean it's unrealistic. And he is aging, because clones were aging too fast (the ones made by Dr Ortmeyer), and they died after few years or even months. But 47 was the perfect clone, he aged just like humans, even a little bit slower, that's why everyone wants 47's DNA code in order to produce armies of clones, or just kill 47 and burn his body in order to not allow anyone do that.

JOSEPH X Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The latest game in the Hitman series, Absolution, is taking the series in a slightly different direction than longtime fans may be used to, as publishers Square Enix seek to tie the games in with the upcoming movie. "We've designed a more stylized, more serious, and darker game this time around in both the story line and the visuals," game director Tore Blystad tells The Hollywood Reporter. "The hope is that the movie will be going in a similar direction, and then when they both come out they will speak the same language. They won't follow the old Hitman games, but rather go with this newer direction." http://uk.kotaku.com/5801165/new-hitman-ga...ars-a-carradine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seddo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Oh great, tying the game in with the movie... Didn't they say ages ago that there won't be no relations to the movie and the game will stay separate? If they eff this up i will go spare.

Don Garcia Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 more stylized... They won't follow the old Hitman games. This scares me. I take this to mean "dumber." Like, screw what made the previous games great, we're making it more stylish. I don't want Hitman to be Splinter Cell Conviction. f*ck that noise.

Thank you for ruining the series Eidos.I was excited for this game so much now they drop this bomb.Why dont you make 47 look like Timothy Olyphant too ?

Quadropheniac90 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If they make this a game with none of the humour, similar story and atmosphere and gameplay of the old games and make it all about being easy and explosive action (with open world gameplay to go with it) I swear I'll go berserk. Why dumb down every f*cking franchise just because some retarded 13 year olds are too stupid to play the game. I can understand all game companies going for the big money, but I don't respect or like it at all. Way to sh*t all over your fans. If they f*ck this up, there's no way it's gonna be as popular as the old games. Old fans will leave it, and people who previously thought Hitman was too hard probably won't bother because they'll have the same expectation of the new game. So, in short, it's a smart way to both: 1. Lose fans. 2. Not sell your game. Just f*cking awesome. P.S. I'm kind of drunkish while writing this, so any incorrect statements, foul language, and/or retardism, is in no way to be linked to me, at all. Thank you. P.P.S. The thing I do like, is the darker atmosphere, because Contracts was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolleroz Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Oh and I do not mind if it ties in with the movie. Long as it is good, it's good with me. This. Quit pissing in your pants from being scared about any statement about the game; it will be good anyways. I'm sure. As long as 47 is there, I'll be happy to play it.

anus Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I now have a pretty strong feeling that the series is ruined. Maybe stylised means it's an FPS now, you know, like 99% of the games being released today? If it ends up ruined, they can forget my money. I'm sure the Hitman fanbase won't buy it either.

Typhus Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 If anyone has the leak of 47's face, PM me please; much obliged. Yep, same here please. I'd be very much obliged. Personally, what I want from this game is simple. 1. No more clone bullsh*t, just don't mention it ever again. This should not be a sci-fi game. He's an assassin, that's his job. I don't want any more bollocks about genetic experiments. It was stupid in Metal Gear Solid and it's stupid in Hitman. 2. A return to the dark, unsettling characters of Contracts. I want to see missions based on stuff like celebrity stalkers, perverted politicians and all manner of other scallywaggery. I don't like assassinating stereotypical Russian generals or mobsters. Why not let us take down a British MP? Or a pop singer? More variety please. 3. More weapons and the ability to use those weapons in other missions. Remember the days when you could take the golf club from Sicily and use it to kill a doctor in India? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-King Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 1. No more clone bullsh*t, just don't mention it ever again. This should not be a sci-fi game. He's an assassin, that's his job. I don't want any more bollocks about genetic experiments. It was stupid in Metal Gear Solid and it's stupid in Hitman. What the f*ck is everyone's problem with the backstory to the Hitman games, it's who 47 is. He isn't some disgruntled family man turned to a life of murder, or a longtime mercenary who happens to be a good shot. He's a f*cking clone, a combination of the best aspects of certain strands of DNA and built thus to be the ultimate assassin, it's a distinctive part of the Hitman universe and the basis for some of the best levels in the series. You degenerates have no right to call yourselves fans of the Hitman series if you can't even accept the very basis for the 47 mythos. I don't want some bullsh*t, pull hits, get cash storyline. 47 is a clone, plain and simple, and the result of that very distinct plot point are some of the most interesting events and twists in gaming history. |PropagandaIncorporated:|: Steam:|: DeviantArt:|: Last.FM| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AceRay Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The problem with all this cloning is that Hitman is a VERY realistic game, so to have clones running around like some sci fi show is kinda dumb. I don't mind it, but it would be nice if they focused less on it. Hitman Absolution is going to suck, they should make it more like the previous games.

Algonquin Bridge Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 They'd better not f*ck this up. They had really better not f*ck up Hitman. I'm fine with a darker tone. I don't mind if things want to get a bit more serious. I mean, so long as they throw in a few over-the-top elements to it, that's fine. But DON'T dumb it down. DON'T throw around buzzwords like "Streamlined" or phrases like "We wanted to make this game more accessible to a wider audience". Hitman is meant to be a reasonably complex series. Yeah, you always have the moderately "easy" option of going in, guns blazing, and sprinting out. But you can also set up elaborate and contrived events that elegantly pull off your hit. In essence, I want to be able to set up my chessboard and methodically take out the King, or just go "f*ck it", tip over the chessboard and go wild. And does the series really need to go in any "new direction"? Sure, Blood Money is 5 years old now, but I can still boot it up and have a blast. Yeah, graphically it's not as "WOW" as most releases coming out today, and the Engine has a few small bugs here and there: But it's stood the test of time as a fun game. In any case, I eagerly await the E3 coverage, and some in-game screenshots. Hopefully by then my fears will be Silently Assassinated. Or, heaven forfend, we see Agent 47 with a scar and stubble taking cover behind a waist-high wall, with jam on his screen, blind-firing with his Silverballer whilst calling in a Predator Drone. Oh god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anus Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Like The-King said, 47 being a clone is an essential part of what Hitman is. So taking that away would make the game a stealth game, but not Hitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when they try to pass off a f*cking albino clone as 47's great nemesis. No one here can honestly believe that was a good anatagonist for Blood Money. It was tacky, unbelievable and rather sullied what should have been an amazing level. An assassination in the White House. And we've got to kill an albino. An albino clone. Awful.

agent17 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Almost nothing is known about the game yet, but already people are jumping to conclusions. Lets wait until we see some proper information. I honestly can't see the developers completely reformatting the game. The gameplay is pretty unique and refined, and is something which wouldn't be subject to change. Making the game like any generic shooter would kill sales, not widen the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who shoots bees out of his mouth. I wanted to like MGS, I really did. But more and more I begin to realise just how tacky it really is. Making a character like Snake or 47 a clone instantly devalues them in my eyes. They go from being a real human with real issues, to being part of a wider plot based on whimsy and nonsensical 'Don't Play God' soapboxing. I didn't buy that rubbish in Frankenstein and I don't buy it now. Yeah, I have a pretty good idea of what I'm f*cking talking about. So don't you insult me for no f*cking reason, who the f*ck are you and where the f*ck do you get off talking to me like that? You think you can insult me because of my taste in games?

Ditto for Grey Fox's dying speech in the minefield. Now, the original MGS on the PSOne had some of this. Sure, we had a psychic or two, but it was still character-driven. Until Liquid, yes, yes, he was very "cool", whatever that means, but did he have any emotional complexity? Nope, he's a clone, he's evil. Hell, he even mocks his comrades in FOXHOUND when you kill them! Just ring up Miller after some of the boss battles and listen to that f*cker speak. And it just went downhill from there. Vampires, making Raiden - a good and deep character - into Grey Fox mark 2. It's just been one big downward spiral. And don't even get me started on the true identity of The Patriots. Jesus Christ...
