New Hitman Game In Development

[jackiebrown22222]

FINALLY! This really made my day, oh hell yes this is awesome! I've played through all of Contract's and Blood Money's missions at least 7 times each. Blood Money was pure, genuine brilliance in videogame form, by far one of my top 10 favorite games on my PS2.

Look, show us Kane & Lynch 2 already, PLEASE!!!

I loved K&L and the suspense of waiting is KILLING ME!

That game was terrible.

Everyone to their own.

I'd also like to see multiplayer added, but strictly within the normal gameplay

Like a separate co-op campaign of sorts that truly takes advantage of two different assassins stalking one or more targets.

That would be pretty sweet, they could have co-op where you help each other to make the kill, and a Versus co-op where you have to compete for the same contract.

Add on money for each contract you complete, buyable equipment and a ranking system and you have a good time-wasting multiplayer added on to the single player.

"Your ability to blend is now pitted against human intelligence as well."

The AI would have to be ridiculously good then, because otherwise it'd either force you into slooowly moving along the obvious rails. Co-op is probably far more realistic.

Good news everyone! I think I've had every Hitman a one time or another, though I couldn't get the original working for some reason, I still owned the bugger.
Looking forward to it, it's practically impossible to make a bad Hitman game.

There was a magazine article a couple of months back about how they are making the guard AI unpredictable. That will fuck me up, I've gotten used to observing their movements to the point where I know at any given time which guard is overlooking a certain ledge or taking his fourteenth piss in twenty minutes.

god bless the guys with bladder infections and addictions to nicotine.

Haha, damn; I thought they've been working on this game since Blood Money was released. Oh well, better late than never.

I've always liked the Hitman series for the room for creativity and freedom it gave to the players. It's a really unique experience, made more so by the fact that you don't see many social stealth games out there.

The only place I'm willing to suggest improvement is to the AI, although it's to be expected the rest of the game will be brought up to date as well. The Euphoria engine would work well for this sort of game...

 

[JC175]

Fucking yes.

I'm keen to find out what the new storyline is, with Diana and the Agency and all. Good times.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

only to be ruined by one guard not liking you running in the halls, it's a bit... bah.

Spot on with that remark. I swear by the beard of zeus that if eidos does not fix the Hitman AI I'm basically going to assume that they will make rehashes forever.

 

[Lord George]

Hell yeah, I spent most of blood money trying to be stealthy, failing and just going on a massive rampage with the silver ballers. Fun.

Also you apparently can't kill people with toasters in the bath as all modern toasters have a fail-safe which shorts them out if they come into contact with water. I like to imagine 47 just hits him in the head with it instead.

Awesome, I loved Blood Money, and I hope they make some tweaks with the AI and graphics for this. Beyond that, keep the wide variety of environments and execution styles intact!

Personally, I want to see them add some human characteristics to the AI. Give them a measure of curiosity, but also give them a more rigid set of standards. For example, in Curtains Down, if you carry out the real WWII Pistol while dressed as the executioner, and you take the shot, the guards turn on you. If the real executioner takes the same shot, nobody cares. I would like to see home fair justice - I should be able to plant the weapons and the clothes I used to kill one target in anothers room, and alert the cops. I also want to see them questioning why people are moving around here- Why has the Devil come down to hell, he told us he'd be in Heaven all night?

I'd also like to see multiplayer added, but strictly within the normal gameplay

Hmmm, thats odd, I was curious to see if I could play the role of the executioner and did what you did, but got away with it.... Did you wait until you were supposed to fire? Worked for me.

 

[Unknower]

Yay!

Personally, I want to see them add some human characteristics to the AI. Give them a measure of curiosity, but also give them a more rigid set of standards.
