This I don't get:
"We've designed a more stylized, more serious, and darker game this time around in both the story line and the visuals,"

The Hitman games never balked from some pretty gritty and dark subjects & characters, what on earth is that guy talking about?

The FUCK!? They changed hitmans voice? That is very bad news, very very bad news.

David Bateson ftw

They better not **** this up , im already hating the slump with videogames lately

folan · 13-05-2011, 09:40

so its actually not going to be a hitman game, just a game based on the past hitman games.

The "gritty" reboot fetish has probably gone a step too far.

pixelburp · 06-06-2011, 12:38

First screenshots of this have popped up; nothing really to go on from them, but if nothing else, 47's still in his suit & tie!

Yes what a great idea

Lets take a fantastic and successful game series like Hitman and remove all the elements that made it good and re-release it.

Im betting they will do the same to thief 4

Changing his voice is a massive mistake, thats like replacing Michael Ironside as Sam Fisher, dislike!

They've snatched my interest away already.

Stercus Accidit · 07-06-2011, 03:40

New voice? Sh1t

New gritty style? What the hell were all the previous murder simulators then?

New direction? Blood money was perfect, just do more of that please.

I bet it will be a mixture of manhunt-esque stealth levels and levels with chest high cover/regenerating health combat.

pixelburp · 07-06-2011, 13:43

If this new Hitman introduces regenerating health, I think i'll go bananas. Half the genius of Hitman is it's lack of health packs & generally fragile healh of 47.

Want more potentially depressing news? Eurogamer has a preview of the game & it's reading horribly action-oriented. More Splinter Cell:Conviction than Thief
