    @onarum:

    My thoughts exactly. That usually means they've "streamlined" it to the point where it's unrecognizable from its predecessors. I truly love and loathe this generation of gaming. There's much less room for quality games that lean towards the niche spectrum (not that Hitman didn't have it's faults). I hope the next Hitman title isn't the equivalent of what Splinter Cell: Conviction is to that series.

    We'll see, as it's difficult to to tell how the game will turn out based on one quote. I suppose it's just the realist, erm, I mean cynic in me talking.

    Cool. Hitman got better as the series went along with Hitman Blood Money being really fun and accessible.

    Indeed, of course there is a slight, tinny possibility of the changes being good, imagine we'll get huge environments and carry out assassinations seamlessly in it, instead of having several separate missions carried out in small  maps, but with all the stealth aspects intact, that is what I hoped Assassins Creed to be when they first announced it.

    I highly doubt it though, it'll probably be a more action focused Hitman game period, complete with cover mechanics.....

    It's always interesting to see what changes in each Hitman release. For all its faults, Blood Money had some really memorable set pieces. Remember the party in the high rise, with the sunset-lit confetti room and the dreamy sounds of the terrible singer coming from the next room? That was so good.

    I'm so excited, they nailed the Hitman experience with Blood Money. I hope they don't dumb this down and make it play even better.

    Do want. Now that MGS and Splinter Cell are basically caricatures of themselves, its good to know Hitman is still keeping it real. Assuming they know what they're doing.

    I've waited a long time for this. I'm certain my rising anticipation ever since Blood Money will cause me to be disappointed in the next game, but I'll still be happy when it comes out.

    What an amazing idea for 2 to be made. It would blow Homefront and Turning Point away with out even having to do much. More people need to play Freedom Fighters to see how amazing it is.

    $50 says this will be a third-person cover-based shooter with some stealth mechanics.

    Thanks for the update, Klepek!

    I loved Silent Assassin and Blood money, and I've been longing for a Hitman 5 title.
    If you've never played Hitman, you've got a lot to look forward to. It's a third person stealth shooter with a puzzle twist. It's the kind of game you bring out your tea and cheese and just enjoy figuring out.
    Your Meta Gear Solid levels with an emphasis on silence. Thief: modern,  if you will.

    Blood Money was such an under-appreciated game. It had some rough parts but overall it was a really fun game with a surprising amount of replay value. This is a day 1 purchase for me.

    A lot of the Hitman games had some pretty revolutionary stuff in them, whether it be gameplay or tech-related. I hope they can do a bit of that with Absolution.

    So happy.   Can't wait to see what is up with this. Considering  Bloodmoney had one of the most bad-ass endings ever I'm excited to see where they take this.    I mean what is more bad-ass then 47 getting up at his own damn funeral  and murdering everyone in sight?

    @Baljot187: Wow man my exact thoughts.I thought it looked terrible but when I played it, it turned out to be ridiculous fun and awesome replay value.The levels were great I kept discovering new things.The music was amazing, I like the 47 character.The only downsides were the AI issues the animations could have been better, and the physics.Though I hope they have a cheat to unlock classsi Hitman ragdoll physics.Just for some laughs.

    @Demoskinos: Not to spoil even more, but on my first playthrough I barely survived that shootout by that kill-enough-dudes-to-get-a-second-chance-before-death gameplay mechanic. At the end of that sequence I was just staring at the monitor while my jaw hit the floor.
