A look at some of 47's most memorable assignments to date as the Absolution draws closer.
Hitman developer IO Interactive was approached by several IP holders, but eventually settled with the James Bond IP.
Interested in seeing how these turn out. An updated Goldeneye style game would be nice if they could take everything good about it but modernise it and expand/make better, without taking away that particular feel it had.
“with their version of Bond being closer to Daniel Craig’s than Roger Moore’s”
This is disappointing to hear, I liked the Craig films but they made Craig more like a tank, Bourne style, I was hoping for someone who looks like what Flemming envisioned for Bond with his sketch, it’s a video game they could literally do the most accurate Bond ever.
Someone who you’d underestimate, relies on gadgets, his environment and his quick thinking to get out of situations, Craig didn’t really have that.
Now, when for years talking with IOI meant talking Hitman, this time around their two other, still under wraps projects were getting closer by the day. And Project Fantasy specifically, which had been linked to Xbox as early as in 2021, saw earlier this summer how the Activision acquisition all but confirmed, or leaked, its future publishing under the Xbox Games Studio logo.
It's been about 20 years since a good James Bond game. Not sure if its the nostalgia but the og Xbox just had banger after banger for the Bond games
I hope Project Fantasy is exclusive to Xbox and more games become exclusive to Xbox in the next few years as it might get Sony to become a 3rd party publisher and release all their 1st party games on Future Xbox consoles.
I’m not excited at all because you’re not going to be able to play it off line and they’re gonna come out with a bunch of different packages that makes the entire game a mess!
Been a very long time since we got a good 007 game, and I don't count the recent barebones ports of Goldeneye either, I hope it's good.
I really hope they design Bond to look like the classic sketch Flemming did of him
Also I really hope this gets a vocal theme song for the game.
Developer IO Interactive, the studio behind Hitman has announced that it has opened a new studio in Brighton, United Kingdom.
I would love a story-driven 007 game with a focus on gadgets and, this is very important, an actually definitive ending to the story and not more 'drag on for five movies/games' thing we've been getting.
WHAT?! Anathema, Hitman 2. Classic.
There was a motel level in contracts that had a ghost, i really liked that level. But good list, makes me want to go buy all these games again.
Hunter and Hunted from Hitman Contracts. Just like in the film Leon The Professional. I also can't forget The Murder of the Crows from Blood Money; that level had so much going on because it gave you the sense of blending in with the crowds.
The Hitman games had many great levels. And not only that but the levels themselves delivered on the atmosphere alone. Thats what makes Hitman so great.
I don't think the term greatest hits ever had a more fitting use.
