Looks good and I love the mechanics of Uncharted, which Hitman seems to be similar to. May give this one a whirl, even though I've never played any of the previous titles. Blood Money is usually pretty cheap on Steam if you want to check it out. It's pretty good. But this one here looks awesome. I have loved the Hitman's and it seems like its thankfully phased into the 3rd generation. Silent Assassin was okay but lacking, Contracts was good but Bloody Money really made the series shine. Can't wait! |

damnit, that was one of my favorite games.. whats this Xray vision and path marked shit in the "run your life" mission walk through? some stuff looks pretty good but some is meh.. It doesnt have that isolated feeling and looks a little more hollywood ridiculous, maybe part of it is that i am watching it and not playing it... No matter, I havent had a console in years.. |
Damn right it's going to be good!!!  I've beaten every one of the Hitman series games on their hardest settings, and got Silent Assassin ratings quite a bit... Love that game!  Going to be awesome on PC! Couple of the games had some bugs, but they were still fun to play!

Quoted: Only reason I'm looking forward to its release is cause the developer said they'd probly look into Freedom Fighters 2 once this was out of the way. This was reported during July 2011. While I played the shit out of Freedom Fighters, the Hitman series is 10,000 times better... Not to mention it takes place in more common & realistic locales instead of the basic fictional New York area... Replayability of the Hitman games is also infinitely better. It's more realistically based in that a person could quite capably blend in with their surroundings, silently assassinate a specific target, and escape undetected. It's basically a game where your goal is to get away with murder. Playing on the hardest skill level makes the game infinitely more challenging than Freedom Fighters ever was... Even on the hardest skill level you could take several hits before dying. From time to time I like a game that's not 100% all-out warfare... If I wanted that, I'd play ARMA2 or Battlefield3. Sometimes I just feel like playing a game where I can sneak past security, creep up on my target, and strangle them, and then walk right out of the building as if nothing ever happened. I love the replayability. At least Hitman isn't so damn linear... Go through this tunnel, leads you to the final base - kill everyone, raise the flag - hurray! Next level - go through the tunnel, kill your way through the streets, watch out for the exploding cars, get to the final base, kill enough people to raise the flag - hurray! There's really only one way to reach the end-goal, and it gets boring incredibly fast! At least with the Hitman series they provide you with a wide variety of weapons, objects that can be used as weapons, they change up and randomize the timing and patrol patterns of Police & Guards periodically, they make unarmed civilians potentially suspicious of you, and the wide variety of options allows you to be creative! Finding newer, creative ways to kill the intended target. Walk through the metal detectors with nothing but a synthetic braided fiber-wire... Wind your way upstairs... Sneak up on the housekeeping staff, pick-pocket them for a master key. Wait down the hall from your target. When the newlyweds in the next room leave, sneak into their room, out onto the balcony, jump to the target's balcony... Strangle the guard that comes out for a smoke break. Pickup his gun, etc... Sneak into the bathroom, strangle the target while he's showering. Clean the room of everything valuable, weapons, etc... Open the door, strangle the guard outside the door, drag his body inside the room. Exit, lock the door, place do not disturb sign. Go upstairs, shoot your secondary target silently in the back of the head. Sneak in through the window, steal the terrorists' weapon, sneak out, drop all the metallic weapons in a cleaning supply closet, and calmly walk out the front door like nothing ever happened. Or you can choose to poison an unsuspecting target... Or you can choose to lock them in the steam room & turn up the heat. Or you can collect a stashed shotgun and blow them away, and blast your way out of the building killing every guard & officer possible... Or you can go complete sociopath and kill everybody, men, women, children, staff, guards, police... Either loudly running & gunning, or you can do it silently, carefully disposing of every single body along the way. Or when you're waiting in an upstairs room across the street from a meeting of foreign military officers - one is your target - you have to watch facial features, mannerisms, physical appearance, and use that to determine which one is the target. Guards are approaching, and about to break in your door while... The lady on the radio feeding you information telling you - he has a beard, that narrows it down to 3, he smokes - that brings it down to two, and then... He has an eye patch *BANG*. Or perhaps he's LEFT handed *BANG*. Or shoot the General (kill the man with 3 stars on his shoulder) *BANG*... Then drop the rifle, sneak behind a cabinet - door breaks open, guard runs into the room - shoot him in the back of the head. Take his uniform, stuff the body in the bathroom, and start walking out of there with his AK in hand. The replayability is incredible with that game, and it allows its users to be creative! You couldn't dream of getting that from the Freedom Fighter series... |

Quoted: Quoted: I've never played a Hitman game do you guys think I should check out the series? or just wait for this one to come out? This looks really good :) I'd at least check out Contracts and Blood Money. I'm sure you can pick them up relatively cheap. Thx, I think I might. The whole Hitman series is available for $25 on steam right now I'll probably do that :) |

You couldn't dream of getting that from the Freedom Fighter series... I make sure to play Freedom Fighters from square one at least once a year. I dunno about you, but that game makes me give a shit. About the fight, the objectives, where it takes place, the men that follow your lead. FF featured a means of approaching objectives in whatever order you liked. BELIEVE FF2 will have all the additional options from Hitman you just mentioned if they keep the same sandbox approach to objectives. |

ETA: Sounds like it's coming along nicely Orphanage Raid |
I really like stealth/action type games like Splinter Cell. I didn't play the original Hitman game, but I played and beat the second one. Started on the third one, but stopped half way through for some reason. Didn't play the fourth one which was supposed to be the best. I still have the CDs/DVDs of the original pack that I bought from Best Buy, but I bought them again recently during a Steam sale just to have them on Steam. The odd thing is it didn't have the third game IIRC, but had the first game which the pack I bought was missing.
