Quick Look: Hitman: Absolution

@RoyCampbell said:

No Jesper Kyd; quick time events; checkpoint doors you can't go back through; dropped items disappear; respawning enemies; no weapon upgrades/customization; can't manually save (to experiment, etc.)... Another series ruined by being marketed as a AAA title. The pedigree previous iterations set for this series relating to how open a level was to the choices in assassination puts this sham of a Hitman title to shame.

Jesper Kyd was busy, and the guy behind the music was actually recommended by Jesper, the checkpoint things are annoying, dropped items dont disappear, there are no respawning enemies, you can upgrade and customise your weapons, but its in a different menu on the main page.

enemies apparently respawn when you reload at a checkpoint. as in every enemy in the level, even the ones you've killed prior to hitting that checkpoint.

I see, I thought it just meant after a certain time..I never used checkpoints so I have no experience of this.
