MovieStinger: "We went into E3 this year watering at the mouth in anticipation of a sizeable lineup of upcoming blockbusters, but one game that’s been relatively under the radar that ultimately knocked our socks off was IO Interactive’s Hitman: Absolution."
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.

Hopefully if it's a success they'll make a movie series after it -_-
His skull looks round for the first time ever nice no more box head.
"Hakan also explained that the possibilities to get through the level are endless. For example, the player could have donned a policeman disguise early in the library. But instead, he ninja’ed his way through most of that area and crept up on most of the cops"
Awesome. So it's not linear and action-focused at all. Only if you want it to be.
I really can't wait to see more of this game.
the animations/lighting and overall visual look, is insane.
I can't wait for this game and IO's other projects, as they usually make great games with subpar graphics. Hopefully this new engine means that their games will look as good as they play.
