So it's basically Splinter Cell Conviction, including the terrible take out mechanic?
Guess that's it for me then. I'm out.

This gives me hope. As long as theres a way to simply garotte most people, instead of using zany set pieces to set up kills, ill be happy
and now to replicate half the posts that will be here. "WHA ITS NOT JUST LIKE BLOOD MONNEY WHA ITS GONNA SUCK WHA WHY WHAHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA".
on a better note it is encouraging to here that they keep the stealth and tried to balance it a bit more.

YES! this is good, because playing the old hitman games, what i always thought was, this game is too hard! and i hate having to think to get threw the game.
From the sounds of it, i can just hit a button and find the target, and run guns ablazeing in, or i can hit another button, and it will show me were all the traps/hiding spots/weapons, and the exact path the target is going to make.

The Highlighted targets just sounds like an updated version of your map that told you the same thing. I hated that thing so I welcome the change.
And now to replicate what half of your post was. "WHA WHA WHA WHA WHY WHAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"digital warrior said:
Seriously. Have some maturity.
OT: I could never really get into the first hitman, then again. I first got it like a year ago, it was cooler back when it came out but I was too young to enjoy it properly.
Feeling so much better about this 
Waiting for info on notoriety/weaponupgrading as well!
Thankyou for not ruining this amazing franchise

Best news about this game I've heard in a while.
In fact, I think it's the only good news I've heard about this game in a while.
I'm cautiously optimistic. As long as I'm given the option to use instinct only to keep my face hidden (and ignore the gunplay and seeing through walls mechanics), and they actually have multiple ways to approach each situation, Blood Money style, I'll be happy.

And your post was like "WHA WHA WHA WHA Mommy there's somebody with a different opinion WAAHAHA"Nikolaz72 said:
Seriously. Get some maturity, pal.
OT: For me, this undid everything they messed up in the stupid Leather-Nuns trailer.
Would probably of been better to just leave it. I mean I was going to essentially copy past the format of the posts up. You know the "Wha wha wha" thing, but that doesn't get us anywhere. Besides the first post in the quote was essentially insulting everyone that feels the game is headed in the wrong direction.TheBelgianGuy said:
OT:Unfortunately, I am one of those people. I feel as though the game designers have the wrong... philosophy in mind for this game. From what I have read about mechanics that most of them are encouraging killing more people than you should. To me, playing Hitman the "best" way was to kill almost no one besides the target(s). After all, I gotta aim for my Silent Assassin ranking. The "take down" mechanic that recharges solely from killing is just off putting to me. There are a couple more reasons why I am currently not liking the way this iteration looks. Hopefully, my fears will be for not.
Though if you will permit me to "Wha wha" for a moment. I hate that they replaced the original voice actor. I loved that guy. Plus how they screwed him out of the job and just treated the man like crap, I don't know, it just pisses me off.
Wait wait wait. What happened with the old voice actor? Can you explain this to me? I haven't heard any news of this.MANIFESTER said:
David Bateson the original voice actor for Agent 47 in the hitman games is not coming back for Hitman: Absolution. Which was odd considering the game was first "confirmed" to be coming out because David Bateson told his fans that they contacted him saying the were going to have him come in and do voice overs for a "Hitman 5". Found a little news article through Blood Money's steam page where Bateson is quoted as saying, "For all the kind things that have been said, I am truly thankful. That kind of dedication and appreciation of the game deserves repayment... with an even more gob smacking instalment in Hitman 5. I don't envy IO Interactive for the pressure they must be under to deliver. I am utterly convinced they will!". You know being a good guy.Jester Lord said:
Now for the next bit I cannot quote a source, because it comes from a friend who is a far more dedicated fan of the franchise than I, so take it with a heavy serving of salt. But apparently, IOI had a schedule for him to go to a studio and all and at the last second wanted to reschedule at a later date and they would let him know when. Unfortunately,many months went by and he didn't hear a word. Eventually, he started texting and calling the developers he knew at IOI without reply. In fact,despite a new voice actor being used they have still yet to tell him he doesn't have the job. Essentially, the studio is trying to "break up" with the guy in the most cowardly and passive-aggressive way I can think of. ?You know, I can even understand IOI not letting me know what?s going on so as to avoid any loss of shine in the build up to the trailer premiere and then E3,? Bateson said. ?After repeated mails and sms to the producer and still no reply, I am lost for words.?
Now of course, this doesn't mean the game will be bad, but it is annoying.
I'm disappointed that he won't be returning for Absolution.MANIFESTER said:
If that story concerning the voice actors is true then I am annoyed at the company that is trying to "break up" with him. Oh well, I just hope tha game lives up to and surpasses its predecessors.
