Sounds like the movie. No thanks.

Yeah. Nothing plot- nor gameplay-wise seems appealing so far.

I'm still quite unsure why they're still going ahead with the 'The Original Assassin Is Back' with him shooting tons of perps in the background...

Marketing fashion. For some reason the games marketing industry has decided that games can only be advertised by making them look like action movies. I'm confused how this came about, especially after the major success of the soft sell for earlier games in this generation. Gears 1 being the best example of that.

That's how I'm going about my assassination work. Shooting the target in the hand to know I'm serious then the next shot in the head. Hopefully.

Same here as well, didn't really manage to get my interest up...but then again, don't think there has been a trailer for any Hitman game to this date, that would've got me all pumped up....well, except the first E3-trailer for this, maybe, that was pretty swell. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't be looking forwards to this, even with the lack of Jesper Kyd and David Bateson. David's abscene isn't that big of a deal. While I liked 47's voice, he barely talked. Not to mention anything important, since the plots in all four games were...forgettable, to put it nicely. But no Jesper Kyd is more worrying, soundtracks have always been amazing, especially in Silent Assassin and Blood Money.

I'm hype for the game, but that trailer was terrible in every single way a trailer can be terrible, shit music (none) bad voice work (Microsoft SAM) comic book panels aren't cool anymore, and I can't believe they ever were, and it shows or explains nothing about the game.

@ZeroCast: WHAT!!!!!!! WTF wow totally agree with you on that those guys were amazing. I have all the game soundtracks, that's actually how I started to like classical music in general by playin' theses games, but o well i am still buyin' it.

This game looks pretty fantastic. I wonder how dependent the narrative will be on having played the previous games though. Because I missed all of them.

I hope that photo confirms that the new Hitman will have skimply clad ladies, as is tradition.

No Jesper Kyd. No David Bateson.

I think those two played a great role in the development of the series through time, but I guess IO Interactive wants to take this to a new level.

Did they just use a text to speech program for this?

No, they did deliberate work to make it much worse than text to speech programs are capable of. It's really unsettling, and I really hope they don't have it in the game.

Yeah, that was really weird. It could be a stylistic choice but it really didn't fit.
