If they make eagle vision a prominent mechanic in the game, then obviously they will design large portions of the game around that mechanic. That's how games are made.

The best part is in the past games he DID try to conceal it, 47 would visible try to use his leg or hide his weapon behind his back when it was drawn and there were people around, it's especially noticeable in Blood Money where it's Dynamic and he actually tries to hide it from people based on their location.

>The thing is, the reappearance of all of these warmly familiar sights served only to throw into stark contrast the utterly un-Hitman level design and gameplay-flow. Sandwiching all of these elements into a resolutely linear A-to-B structure felt very much like dropping Ryu into a side-scrolling Final Fight-style brawler and calling it Street Fighter V. The recognisable surface elements were there, but the wide-reaching, organic gameplay potential associated with them – indeed, which they were originally designed to facilitate - just wasn’t.

>Agent 47 was no longer playing the long-game, quietly exploring a sandbox in order to discover deliciously contrived avenues through which to set up ‘accidents’, or studying and manipulating the behaviour of the area’s cast of players. Instead, he was sneaking along a largely linear, occasionally branching path, partaking in the same basic hide/wait/kill/move/repeat loop inherent to stealth games since Manhunt.

So, did you see in the video, any of that sandbox type exploring to setting up accidents and trick people, like in previous Hitman games?

You've never played Hitman, right? You've always had a much more detailed map that reveals the location and movement of every character on the map (unless it was on higher difficulties). This isn't Splinter Cell or Metal Gear Solid, the stealth mechanics of Hitman revolve around staying hidden in plain sight through disguises. You're not supposed to worry much about finding out patrol routes or where enemies go because it's not about hiding behind corners and staying in the shadows.

>>146672219
It's just pure speculation at this point, on both ends of the argument since we've only seen limited footage. I'm saying if they do make it an important mechanics, then the levels will likely rely on it. For instance, they could have you find environmental interaction through eagle vision (like how he saw the wire connect to the lifted car towards the end) instead of making it more prominent looking in the environment.


Or I could be wrong and it's just a small feature of the game. I'm hoping that I am, but knowing the state of the industry today, I have my doubts.

Everyone moaning about the radar. Did you forget that all Hitman games had a fucking map that you could bring up at any time and it would show you exactly where the target was? Doesn't matter how far away you were, you could bring it up and scroll through floors of the level and see where everyone was. This changed with difficulty of course, on professional you couldn't see civilians just the target and some VIPs.

The demo is on the CONSOLE

Of course there is going to be mark/execute you dumbshits, console babbies can't aim for shit.

I can almost guarentee you Eidos will make the REAL version, the PC version, unmarkable by default so chill the fuck out.

I have complete and utter confidence that this game will not be casualized to fuck for the PC version.

Remember all AAA games nowadays are made with consoles in mind. What's seen here is not going to be final for the REAL version of this game.

This actually looks half decent. Looks more or less like Hitman. I'd prefer if they kept the status indicator at the bottom, instead of alerting you in big bold letters that you are armed, but hopefully you can turn that off.

Yeah, no.

The Hitman franchise has been and will always be a PC-dominated title.

The PC franchise alone has gained Eidos enough attention and credit to be picked up by Square Enix, and also spawn a fucking Hitman Movie on the way.

Eidos knows for a FACT that they have a large and loyal PC fanbase completely dedicated to this game, and will not disappoint.

I will reiterate: Complete. Fucking. Confidence.

Eidos will not fail to deliver.

No.

It's already confirmed that Instinct mode, hints, pop-up notifications, and other babby casual garbage game mechanics are disabled for higher difficulties.

Which is fucking fantastic.

If you play Hitman games on anything besides Extreme, you are not a true fan and don't even deserve to voice your opinion on this game.

Everything in Blood Money had a silent and discreet method to go about certain tasks, and if you were smart, you could avoid gunfights alltogether.

Through these playthroughs with this level, the library level, and the chinatown level, you can already see that Absolution is simply Blood Money x10 with AI, unique NPC events, and all the same methods of going about tasks and all the same choices.

You cannot dissuade me from not hyping about this game. I don't give a fuck about Bateman, he sounds like a pedophile anyways.

Your feeble attempts to calm this raging boner for this game has failed. Please continue.

The developers said in an E3 sideshow that they replaced him because of motion capture.

He didn't quit.

It's not god mode, they mentioned it's a limited resource to be used strategically like bullet time in Max Payne. If you hate it so much they also mention you can disable it, so why are you crying about it still?

I dont even care for the series or the voice actors particulalry, but how IO has treated that guy just makes me feel so bad.

I wish I was the CEO of some big game company now, I'd hire that guy.

If you really enjoyed a certain tv series, say Dexter, and the producers fired the lead actor for spurious reasons, gave him superpowers, and removed a huge amount of drama and tension, would you still watch it?

It's such a disgusting fucking behavior, and so Jewish.
The dude was iconic for the Hitman games, he helped make them the popular franchise they are now, and he just gets shit on.

I mean what the fuck.

Hi anon

Many of us fans sent him emails over the course of this past year. Someone posted a conversation between them as well, and he mentioned in it he's willing to do it for free since he loves his character, as his breath and soul

You can find it in the archives or somewhere on the internet in various forums, I assure you

Don't bother going to the hitman forums though. Like that link I posted, the mods went full bioware mode on the users banning everyone left and right, deleting messages/threads, all in the cause of defending IOI

But then it's not Sam fucking Fisher, is it?

It's not Splinter Cell without Sam Fisher, and it's not Sam Fisher without Michael Ironside.

It's done, and any attempt to replicate it and continue as if it's business as usual is just going to be terrible.

I mean, we've all seen the footage from E3, it's going to be awful as a game, period, but the fact that they've practically rebooted Sam is just the glace turd on the top of that particular shit surprise.

I can't fucking believe this shit.
This guy showed true passion for his character, and they were like DURR BUT WE GOT TO PAY YOU WE WANT TO HIRE SOME UNKNOWN MURRICAN FOR LESS MONEY SO BYE BYE
But they don't even tell him that, they don't tell him shit. But that's probably their reason. Money fucking bullshit.

47 barely even spoke in the previous games, lack of his original VA is not an issue to me as the gameplay still looks solid
