We Play Hitman With Io Interactive

wow

This should be good!

I shouldn't be surprised that this happened.

noice

Cool!

These IO developers have no clue how to play the game right.

Edit: This is a fantastic video.

Unexpected Hitman is the best kind of Hitman.

Brad's gonna push this as GOTY in the podcast soooooo hard.

This should be awesome!!

is it me or does the elusive target look like "John Larroquette" ?

Hitman in the running for goty, YES PLEASE !

Here's the hole in one video:

Here's (one of) the chain explosion video:

I wonder how this will go. This one was so easy compared to the Marrakesh one. I got Orange pants guy easy as he walked up the first set of stair because no one will notice him there.

It's going to be great.

One of my favorite parts of the GOTY discussions is when Brad through underhand means and politics getting a game on the top 10 and then watching the fall out in the comments.

He's definitely one of the best at pushing an agenda.

DOOM is brad bread and butter

As a Dane it's fun to hear a Danish developer guiding the bomb dudes.

All the Danish'isms in his vernacular is great.

Awesome feature, I need to buy this already

Brendan Conner aka Leslie Nielsen

Reminds me of one of my favorite videos about Brad Shoemaker, haha

Back to the topic of the video. This was really fun. Hearing the IO guys react Brad in motion was excellent.

This was an excellent video! I love hering designers discuss their work and intentions with designs, would be great to see more stuff like this.

@stressedoutcat: thought the exact same thing, almost a better likeness than Busey and Gary Cole

This was a really fun video. Sometimes vids with "quick look exs" [which this def isn't really one, but could fall into those problems I am about to describe] can be a bit cringy or overly just an ad sort of thing [from what is coming out of the developer], but this actually was absolutely perfect.

Love hearing about the development from these guys and they do a great job of showing them some tips as well. maaan Hitman is so good. Unfortunately with schooling I haven't had time to pick up the last few episodes [due to lack of playtime], but I def am going to when I have time over the winter break as this is easily one of my favorite games of the year by far.

Lol, I love how the devs really got into it starting about halfway through the elusive.

I love how Hitman here started as a regular video, and now it's got this world tour vibe of new guests popping in occasionally to see what they've learned.

This is just great stuff

Great video. This Hitman series is a gift that just keeps on giving.

I've thought this game looks pretty great for a while, but since I still don't own it yet, at this point I'm pretty likely never to buy it since there's no way to go back to previous targets.

Brad and butter.

Whoa, what are these going doing state side? Possible IO promotion for another game?

@kkjs: He is good at battle of attrition, using extreme hyperbole and shit-talking when it comes to Game of the Year stuff.

Man, what a good game.

Nothing even comes close in my opinion. I was never even a huge fan of the Hitman games. This game though, it's best of the year hands down. It's just FUN.

Also the "stairway to heaven joke" was amazing.

@yarbles: I was thinking more John Larroquette

IO dev.: Look at the minimap! Look at the minimap!

Finally, the GB comments have made it into a video :p

Definitely a possibility. I checked my Xbox One stats. the other day, and realised that I've put 98 hours into this game, and there's still another map to come. Very few games still feel fresh after putting in that amount of time (especially as I've watched the Brad and Dan stuff more than one should :p), but Hitman still keeps me coming back.

They're probably promoting the end of the season & launch of the PS4/XBone physical release in a couple months.

Plus the "Full Experience" on PC just turned into "Season One" so chances are they're getting hype up for Season 2 as well.

Brad and Dan making contracts for each other sounds like a good feature.

Orange pants, buttoned up shirt, long light hair...Is the target an older version of Drew?

@a55b0t:

i love brad but i dont think he has the mettle to withstand ryckert level bullshit

Hope they have Dave Lang for this during Extra Life.

Such a fucking great game. God damnit.

I'm a Hitman convert due solely to Giant Bomb's coverage of this game.

That was a fun video with the Devs. Can't wait for Japan and the second season. Great playthrough Brad.

Excellent video. They were pretty direct with their advice but it was good to see them use that knowledge live. More Hitman!

Honestly, if it wasn't for Overwatch this would be my GotY

It's not just you. First time I saw the video image, I thought they were doing another thing like they did with Busey.

@johnymyko: I think it's more likely Drew is a Hitman and stole the target's clothes. He's always had long hair (wig?!) to hide the barcode on his neck.

That was very cool. Thanks Brad, Dan and IO guys.
