Still pushing the Sexy Assassin Nuns in their PR materials I see. I don't know if I've ever seen a PR plan be so poorly received while still attempting to stick to the plan. Since they obviously built their whole PR plan around those Nuns. I wonder if its more an issue of turning the PR ship around or if they think the people they are targeting don't care.

To be honest, the whole nun thing was blown out of proportion, people failed to realize that these types of images have always been in Hitman games, for example the heaven and hell party and the christmas party in Blood Money.

That is true. Men and women have always been sexualaized in the Hitman games. It just wasn't put in the forefront before... or was it?

Well I guess they didnt bring it to the forefront, they did however have another ad for Blood Money I think, the beautifully executed one, of the woman laying on the bed with a gunshot to her head...that also caused abit of a stir.

HItman was recorded in front of a live Motel 6.

Ok so where is that dynamic thing here? the only thing i saw is more teasing Hitman footage.

Exactly, the Meat King level in Contracts, too. Anyways, I got shivers when the Bateson clip near the end came on.

I've always been fine with the Sexy Nuns, I saw them as Tarantino-esque Cheese. I'm just more fascinated by the lack of adaptability by the PR team to adjust any of their material roll-out based on the initial backlash. But yeah I guess it has left the internet zeitgeist at this point, so I apologize from bringing it up.

Like a boss.

Can't.. wait.. any.. longer..

Laugh hysterically at the condescending description!

@Rainbowkisses said:

Is David Bateson the only one of the main actors who didn't do motion capture?

Yes, because William Mapother(Ethan from Lost) did the mo-cap and was the original voice for 47 in Absolution. It seems Bateson was brought on at the absolute last minute of development.

Goddamnit, Bateson. Your voice is all that matters.

The guy checking his smart phone is actually the one man that's keeping this whole project from falling apart.

US Marshall Hitman Givens, transferred to Kentucky after a garroting in Miami.

I just want to play the fuck out of this. Give it to me. Give it to me now!

@Pr1mus: Haha, glad I'm not the only one that thought that.

Hearing Bateson at the end...I can't understand how IO thought they were ever going to go with someone else as 47.

I love that he is actually a bald guy :D

...hes been the face model of 47 throughout the series...

Oh Alex, you silly snarky bear.

Is that whole 'The Original Assassin' thing a stab at Assassin's Creed, or am I looking to much into this?

I think it is. THough tbh AC is barely an assassination game compared to Hitman. So they are in the right :P

From that thumbnail i thought they were recording from Jeff's room.

The music seems to suit the game. That's what matters in the end.

Is David Bateson the only one of the main actors who didn't do motion capture?

That sound studio seemed pretty bootleg...but that's just me.

This music sounds hella generic. This guy is no Jesper Kyd :(

The ORIGINAL ASSASSIN GUYS! I'm stoked for this game! Give it to me now!!!!

No it totally is. Rather tasteless but I guess it makes sense from a marketing pov?
