UPDATE: This is not related to next Hitman game.

Quote:

“Unfortunately, the concept art was created as part of a portfolio,” IO Interactive PR manager Tom Stratton told us. “[It was] intended to showcase an artist’s style or method of work and does not represent any new Hitman game.”

God of Hitman?

I prefer him with his shirt and tie. Much more professional and employable than the bare-chested look, I reckon.

Haunted · (07-20-2010, 11:24 PM)

Don't like it.

edit: huh, those are the same guys who designed the Kane and Lynch 2 menu? That one's pretty damn awesome.

Your hotlink isn't working for me so I rehosted it for anyone having trouble.

∀ Narayan · (07-20-2010, 11:25 PM)

I've always wondered. Are the Hitman games any good? Which ones should I play? I only want to play them because Jesper Kyd does the music for them.

Gravijah · (07-20-2010, 11:26 PM)

They should really make a Hitmang game, where you're an urban assassin.

He's disguised as a swimmer, duh.

1) Yes

2) 2 and Blood Money, though they're all good games. Blood Money is the latest and is an amazing game.

Silent Assassin and Blood Money are a must, but seriously, get all of them if you can if only for the story.

heh. olyphant as hitman in the games even? terrible

yes, they're fucking awesome. get hitman blood money

miladesn · (07-20-2010, 11:28 PM)

Do they think this is Hitman 5? I mean Hitman logo looks like a '5' somehow.

Metalmurphy · (07-20-2010, 11:29 PM)

...

I hate it already.

SteelAttack · (07-20-2010, 11:30 PM)

Nice, Hitman. I do not approve of the barechested looks, however. Still, a half-nude Hitman is better than no Hitman at all.

Nirolak · (07-20-2010, 11:30 PM)

Hitman: Codename 47
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin
Hitman: Contracts
Hitman: Blood Money

Thus, this would be Hitman 5.

Yes they're all descent although I wouldnt recommend the first one just cause it felt really dated the last time I played. 2 was great, Contracts is like a greatest hits if I remember, has some of the missions from the first game with updated graphics and controls. The last game released, Blood Money was really good imo. I'm dying for a new one...

Pics don't do much for me so far except confirm we're actually going to get another one of these games which is great news. I wonder if they're making a departure from the series though as Agent 47 doesnt look much like Agent 47... shirtless?

not really.

It's just the Hitman logo.

I know, I meant this doesn't have any subtitle it seems, maybe it's just Hitman 5, see what I did to the Logo :lol . after seeing Thi4f it doesn't sound unlikely too me :lol

blindrocket · (07-20-2010, 11:33 PM)

Post-apocalyptic Hitman?

I agree with practically everyone else, he needs his suit and tie.

It's just a concept for a teaser. You won't see full title or credits on something like that.

There's no 5, it's just the Hitman logo.

Revolutionary · (07-20-2010, 11:35 PM)

What is this shit? Where's his suit?!

Huggy · (07-20-2010, 11:36 PM)

Looks like an assassination attempt on him. I remember being hunted on a few missions in Blood Money.

I know it's the Hitman logo, they can abuse it though :lol , nvm.

Jason's Ultimatum · (07-20-2010, 11:41 PM)

I couldn't finish Hitman 2 because of the stupid AI. Rarely did I ever make it out of a mission without alerting someone, even when nobody was around.

FUCK THAT SHIT?>???!?!!?!?!? That's not happening is it? I want my REAL HITMAN with a suit and tie and no Olyphant fucking this shit up for me man.

I've waited too many years for this sequel if they fuck this shit up because of the mainstream shit going on these days I will never forgive IO! Don't turn this into a Hitman LITE.

snoopeasystreet · (07-20-2010, 11:43 PM)

Not too impressed with them pics but I loved blood
money so I'm hyped.

Do we know anything about it yet? I presume IO are at the helm.

This man needs a shirt.

He is not an angry rage rip off my suit guy

He is a classy rage garotte you with piano wire guy

In short, get a shirt on

We really need an LttP for Shadowman, btw. Such a good game.

Mafro · (07-20-2010, 11:46 PM)

Oh man, Shadowman was fucking brilliant - one of my favourite N64 games. So different in style and tone than anything else on the system.

∀ Narayan · (07-20-2010, 11:48 PM)

Looking at the Hitman collection on Steam. Why isn't Contracts in it? Strange.

Exactly, he's not the type to get mad at all. EVER. He should always stay calm and focused.

Jintor · (07-20-2010, 11:48 PM)

Oh yeah, this is poster concept art, so might not have anything to do with the game as-is

PetriP-TNT · (07-20-2010, 11:51 PM)

Shadowman was the first thing to come into my mind too... some of you didn't know that it had a sequel?! Crazy!

(I haven't played it either but saw many reviews etc.)

Blast Processing · (07-20-2010, 11:55 PM)

I still need to play Blood Money. Silent Assassin was goddamned brilliant; probably my favorite stealth game ever.

Radogol · (07-20-2010, 11:57 PM)

Where's the barcode? Is that a scar on the back of his head?

Ducarmel · (07-20-2010, 11:57 PM)

The ending to shadow man was so underwhelming, it still stings me today that I played an awesome action adventure/platformer for the most unimaginative ending ever.

That's obviously going to happen. It's inevitable this gen.

I really really really hope not. Please don't dumb it down for the moron COD audience ( not that everybody who plays cod is a moron but come on you all know what I mean ).

Don't strip the Hitman of his essence guys!! And by that I also mean dont take away his clothes.. his ability to disguise himself as anybody he wants, to set up awesome plans in a sandbox way.. to design your own escape etc. Don't turn it into a scripted linear shitty dumbed down experience is all I'm sayin!!!

I don't want to keep playing Blood Money forever.
