CVG - Hitman Retrospective: Agent 47's finest kills

CVG - Hitman was never about the Silverballers or the W2000 Rifle he carries on the box. It was about the perfect kill - no witnesses, no bullets, and sometimes no evidence of murder at all.

The Opera house level in Blood Money & The Meat King's Abattoir in Contracts are Hitman classics!

What happened to Stealth games?

Splinter Cell is all about auto-kills, MGS4 lets you purchase machine guns and the newer one is looking action oriented......even Absolution footage looks like SCC with a Hitman skin.

Well in fairness, MGS4 gave the player the option to play their style of play, and choosing the stealth option was always far more satisfying & rewarding decision than the run & gun option.

Which is pretty similar to the choice given in the Hitman series, which has always given the player the option to pick their own gameplay preference.

However some details that recently emerged about Hitman Absolution have me concerned that it is going to follow in the footsteps of Splinter Cell Conviction.....a.k.a divert from the classic formula that made the series great in the 1st place.

It’s the 25th anniversary this year?

I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.

Super lacklustre

A Deep Dive On all Things Hitman With The Voices Behind Agent 47 And Diana Burnwood

From PSU: "Ten years ago, the Hitman franchise was in a transitory state. Blood Money had become something of a classic and with Hitman Absolution there was a clear decision to push IO Interactive’s assassination sim series to a whole new level. That experimental, often divisive, entry turned out to be pivotal in what would follow.

Elements of Absolution, such as its accessibility and player-created content, would be mixed with the more traditional Hitman games’ sense of murderous creativity to birth the Hitman Trilogy 0f 2016-2021. A series that would take its creators on a turbulent journey of publisher changes, independence, and the eventual triumph of being handed the tantalizing 007 license."
