Um, where's the stealth?  The trailer kinda gives the wrong impression.

CG trailers never amaze me, but I do very much hope the actual game will be good.

I think you're totally right, that's probably Diana.

I only vaguely remembered her from Blood Money (been a while), but i think it's quite possible.

I don't know how to feel about this trailer. I'm a huge fan of the previous Hitman games, and I don't want them to fuck this up. I've got faith in IO though, and I think they know what they're fans want.

I think it's Diana.  
 
Blood Money was just a really really polished game, at least on the PC/360 version. Really well done. I have a lot of high hopes for this.

Well it has to be. She's the only one who knows him by his designation. Only woman at least?

The previews I've read for this game have me really excited and I did love Blood Money. Also Undeadpool, that pun was reallllly bad but I appreciate it.

The trailer, in trying to capture the attention with flashy action, missed the point of Hitman gameplay.

@PhatSeeJay:  It is Diana, since this game is about betrayal. What greater betrayal could there be in a hitman game?

didn't Diana sort of saved him in Blood Money?

I'm pretty sure this is just a cover up to get her out of there.

@TekZero: If this really is Diana, I suspect that this is a rather personal mission - at least that's how I interpret his Rambo approach. Even 47 can lose his cool head once in a while.

The fuck is this? I'm with @colinjw and totally cool with playing Jason Statham: The Game, but if you're calling it Hitman you're really doing it wrong.

Don't look into the action in the trailer, break it down, piano wire, golf club, the suit, the way he entered the building, the drowning of the dude, the single baller.

It's all looking nicely when you extract it.

Trailer looks awesome. Let's just hope the gameplay isn't some fucking quick-time-one-button-press-simplified-brutal-animation bullshit (like SC Conviction for example).

I think he's returning to Diana because he doesn't know what to do with his life after the last game. I dont think he knows how to live life, just kill. Thats what i got from it.

From the Hitman: Absolution Wiki page:
 "So far what is known

  • A new cover system that allows 47 to not only take cover but roll to and from avaliable cover.
  • 47 can now effectively hide in the shadows as a means of stealth
  • Kills can be preformed from a ledge with an enemy above
  • 47 has an improved variety of physical attacks allowing him to take out multiple enemies at once
  • 47 can now choke people with his bare hands"
God i hope they put all these points on the back of the box... especially that last one... in all caps and bold!

I just hope it's more "hotel"/"suburban" levels where you're just trying to be the killer that sneaks in plain sight etc. When Hitman went a bit too much jungle/base/a bunch of dudes at the same time, it was just not as much fun anymore. If there's something Assassin's Creed has taught us, it should be that it's always fun being the badass with the upper hand and tricks up your sleeves (literally, ahoy!).

Even though this is CG, trailers don't come much better than this. Sooo good.
