assassination game

[RavingPenguin]

So you want to play hitman is that it?

Who doesn't?

Jeremy Clarkson?

Oh god, that made me laugh. He probably wouldnt though.

.

I don't get it, Can someone explain to the slow person please?

Jeremy Clarkson is Bible Doctors avatar. Jeremy is, well, watch a few episodes of top gear and you'll understand.

I guess a game based on Wanted could be alright.

I would settle for a new Silent Scope in this regard.

so Hitman and Assassin's Creed?

I wouldn't say that Assasins Creed got any real assassinations. I mean you kill all the guards in public and then you shove that blade up his throat, while he is running away.

Isn't assassinations supposed to be in secret, so that no one knew you were there.

Assassination just means killing a high profile person for money or political reasons.

 

[matnatz]

you are an elite assassin in the near future. The world has changed and now big corporations

Wow, too many games use that premise. Perfect Dark comes to mind.

there is one, don´t know if it´s any good thou

Doe anyone else want to see a game that actually bases itself around assassinations?

You have basically described the Hitman series.

Anyway, a slight variation on the theme that may interest you is The Ship. It's been on Steam for years now but the game is based entirely around assasinating specific targets on a cruise liner without a) being caught and b) being assasinated yourself.
It's quite different to most FPS's and it's brilliant if somewhat left field.

True, but still.

yer that is kinda hitman
still another assassination franchise along those lines would be cool

 

[Apathetic Flamingo]

Assassin's Creed is a lot less open ended then Hitman... I'd like to see an Assassin's Creed that's more like Scribblenauts.

 

[cordeos]

Hitman Blood Money may fit what you want best, it has the most options in terms of ways to assassinate someone and the plot is about two competing assassination agencies

My friend suggested this to me: Absolutely no story. You get the message "Kill person X" then nothing. It's a semi-open world environment, your target is in a building in front of you, and you can choose how to get to him. Climb a building next to your target's and jump through a window, take out a guard, put on their clothes, sneak in, get close and stab him, snipe him, hijack a helicopter and fly it though the windows in the building and hit him, etc. Endless possibilities, absolutely no story except "Kill these people." THIS is how assassination games should be (in my opinion).

The only flaw I have with your idea is the no story idea. Sure its nice if you just wanna kill someone in a cool way, but if you're after immersion then a story would be nice.

The point of the game is just to kill people, like you said, which is why there wouldn't be a story. If we were actually going to make this game, I would put in a small bit of story though.

May i suggest Hitman's Creed?
