Those facial animations are even scarier then Heavy Rain's.

yeah. If the combat looked a bit better...
It shouldn't be impossible to cut together a 'silent assassin' mission playthrough to make a badass trailer.
I didn't like that trailer one bit.
Hopefully they will show the "Silent Assassin" variant of the playthrough at PAX.
I take it you've never seen the trailers for the previous games?
Hitman is pretty kill heavy in most of the trailers for each game.
Not sure how this is any different.
Blood Money trailer featuring 47 as a mass murderer
It is easier to market him blowing people away.
contracts trailer with 47 blasting people away
The last one was like 6 years ago so I don't remember the trailers. But nothing from this game has looked good so far and that goes for the gameplay stuff they've shown.
It's different because now everyone wants to hate the game, so they will do their best to shit on it whenever possible.

This game has "Mark and Execute" from Splinter Cell. It is called "Point Shooting"
Fuck you IO
Fuck you IO
I don't like any of the action heavy trailers, blood money included. But I never got into a big firefight in blood money. The trailers make it look like you have to blast people away, which in the end was just not tue.
Trailers for the game have always been a bit misleading, but the games made up for them tenfold. That's why I reserve my judgement until I actually try the game. Unlike many of these knee-jerk reactions.
o fukk dats sum badass assassin shit killing bitches ice cold like dat, daym!!
Footage so far seems to focus on missions where the enemies are already expecting 47, first the library and now this. They should really show us some standard contract type mission where the more familiar Blood Money gameplay was the focus, I'm not digging what I've seen so far.

So you've also ignored the gameplay footage and previews detailing the mark and execute among other shit things?
No, since I've taken this magic approach where I wait until more information is leaked about the game, read some trustworthy reviews that might actually shoot down any concerns or better yet, try the game. Once upon a time I also loved assuming and being overly judgemental about tidbits of gameplay footage and having massive knee-jerk reactions. I got wiser.

IO sure knows how to make a great trailer. But still hard for me to get very excited about the game.
Ah. See I like to look at what the developers choose to release beforehand and comment on that, since that's what they think makes their game look good. I'll comment on the reviews too when it gets to that time, not that I trust our media to understand what makes a Hitman game special.

Another trailer, this is just going to make me sad again, right?
*Watches video*
Yup, continues to look like the exact opposite of what this game needs to be.

You expect people to actually wait and see? i'm still LOL'ing at how Max Payne 3 threads used to follow what happens in these Hitman threads. People shitting on the game telling R* that they didn't understand max and that they could never capture his brand of gunplay. Now pop into a Max Payne 3 thread and it's all gushing about how they can't wait for it.
I'm expecting the same for this game.
The extended play through i watched a while back that they had up on Xbox Live showed me i will have plenty of approaches to situations just what i expect from a Hitman game.
I would think most sensible gamers would realise we live in the age of trying to get as many people to buy the game as possible. The previous Hitman Trailers which highlighted him killing were part of that and they were successful in pulling in a larger audience of gamers.
They are certainly not how I played the game as i liked to get 'Silent Assassin' awards on every stage, but the house of Hitman is a wide church with many different play styles.

Didn't like the trailer, but i think the game might be interesting
Yeah I can agree with that, trailers, footage and the rest of the advertisement obviously sets up the game for our judgement, perfectly normal to be discouraged by a bad trailer and then just apply all that to the game. But as already proved, trailers can be misleading or just poorly directed and just be doing the game(s) a disservice, a lot of times it seems like the company intern get a crack at directing it. I'd just think most people would have learned all that by now, personally I've been positively surprised a lot more than I've been correct about my initial negative judgement of trailers or gameplay footage.
Maybe I've just reached a point in my gaming life where I don't really give a damn until the game is actually close to release
Yeah, we certainly reached a point where everything gets the knife in assumptions and then a lot of backpedaling closer to release.

#47 knows gun kata.
I like to listen to what they say. Like when they said those things are optional.

They already had previews showing off that level where they used stealth and shooting. But you know, whiners gonna whine.
I wonder if people realize how comparatively simplified blood money was in comparison to contracts and silent assassin. I've seen the game in person, and, as others have said, the advertising for Hitman has always emphasized the shooting element far more than the stealth element, because it's impossible to sell stealth and methodical play in 90 seconds. I have no reason to think it won't feel like a Hitman game when all is said and done.
Did you like the trailers for the other games? I hated them and loved the actual games.
Now we are talking, someone who has seen it.

After several trailers and a couple of lengthy sequences of gameplay footage (Which have a dozen things wrong with them per minute of footage), it's not that insane to be worried about this. Combine that with the director of the game saying that all those cool parts about previous games are pretty bad, and being worried is the correct stance to have here.

The facial animations and character models are awful.
I'll make a judgement on the gameplay when I actually play it, but I'm not too thrilled about the massive "Conviction" feeling I'm getting.
