Many a Dude is Slain In This Latest Hitman: Absolution Trailer

have they shown any of the actually interesting assassination scenarios that made the older games fun? all the kills in here looked generic and boring and only against regular grunts

1. Face and neck stabbing. Gutting dudes. Manhunt-esque axe murder.

2. Generic and boring.

Pick one.

Also, I liked the ventilation shaft crawling action, I think they're actively trying to provoke the "SPLINTER CELL LAME AND DUMB WTF BOYCOT" 'fans' now. And I like it. We have this discussion every fucking time a new Hitman game is released, and the only thing that has been 'dumbed down' over time, is the tone of the debate.

Why is it so fucking common that people think they know everything about a game from one trailer? It's quite tiring. Personally, I'm looking forward to the stealthing. It looks (from the demo shown) to be quite entertaining ala classic Hitman.

Dudes love leaving their backs exposed in poorly lit buildings during a manhunt.

I still play Blood Money on occasion and still feel incredibly satisfied with it. My excitement for Absolution is palpable.

@Tennmuerti: Straight up.

Looks awesome. Can't wait. About time for IO to make a comeback.

I think this looks much better than any of the Hitman's before it.

Dude I just watched this on a phone at work! Omg!

That was an awesome trailer. I might have to play Blood Money again so I can get ready for this one.

WHEN??

I can't fucking wait.
