retomoto are currently working on a battlefield style ww2 team shooter, with huge levels vehicles and capture points. it's launched and set up from a quite nice web interface, although I can't tell in the current alpha build on the server if the game will turn out good in the end. but it probably will considering the experience this team has got. it's still really early. here's the site for it http://www.heroesandgenerals.com/landing/index.php

Hey IO Interactive.
I am writing this email on behalf of Hitman 5.. I've seen some concept art, and read some new facts and I'm very dissapointed so far. You absolutely cannot change 47 and the game mechanics too much! Blood Money was so close to a perfect game, why would you not build upon that foundation? Giving 47 a stubble? For gods sakes, why? Just because you can sell more games to casual gamers who didn't even buy the previous Hitman games? I understand that making games is a business but nonetheless, you can't betray your current fanbase. It has been a really long time since Blood Money, so to develop something that doesn't need a reboot, but somehow you still think that's what this series needs.
It does NOT need a reboot. It does not need run,gun & cover segments.
What the Hitman series needs is more open missions, diverse level design and amazing level design ( like most of the old missions from earlier games ). This is a STEALTH series, do not change that please! I understand that the words of one fan might not be enough, but go and have a look over at Neogaf.com for some 'impressions' from big fans of the series.
Please don't screw this up, please don't dumb it down and pander to the retarded casual gamer. They already have Call of Duty and don't want/need anything else.
The real fans of Hitman are standing by you, but only if Hitman 5 turns out to be good. Rebooting it and changing the core mechanics too much will just make it a FLOP.

"Everything has to be a cover based third person shooter."
Well to be honest, gunplay in Hitman was always shit. So if they want to change it, cover based mechanic isn't that bad (just not too hitman-y).kamspy said:Video Game Industry:

Dabanton said:That's part of the appeal it catered to the more cerebral player. And made you actually think about your surroundings and how you were going to do your contract cleanly.
Getting a Silent Assassin rating always felt good.
Well that's a quite big cause for concern...Dick Laurent said:a reboot is warranted in this case though. almost none of the people that made the hitman games are working for IOI anymore.

kamspy said:So make it a new IP. Publishers recent trend of yanking characters from one genre to another (Splinter Cell conviction) is annoying. I like Conviction a lot. It's just not a new Splinter Cell game, and because it exists, I won't ever get a new Splinter Cell game. Best scenario would have been to *gasp* make the Conviction gameplay into a new, awesome IP -and- make a new Splinter Cell game.
You can apply all that to this Hitman situation. Or at least the direction it seems to be going.
Ninja Scooter said:I think people are reading into that quote wrong. The way I read it is that INBETWEEN the open missions there will be shooter based levels. Maybe kind of tutorials or training missions so that you master the new cover/shooting mechanics? But I don't get from reading that quote that they are turning it into a Gears clone.

A collection of Hitman 1, 2 and 4 (Blood Money) is at Steam for 20, Blood Money alone is 10. So the answer is yes.fastford58 said:So, should I pick up blood money?

Totobeni said:so the series is dead ( if there is a new new sequel/reboot it will be done by new guys/K&L2 guys and we know who was that for many IP when they changed the original devs ) oh well , it was a good series , RIP Hitman , I'll always remember you.
Y2Kev said:But Blood Money was so good.
Vinterbird said:If you wanted to, you could say the series died on 04 when the creative team walked out and formed Retomoto.
Mindlog said:Murder of Crows is still one of my favorite scenes. A crowded street in a video game???!
sometimes i wonder if my cynicism has transcended my consciousness and manifested itself as some foul, malevolent pyschokinetic force, enforcing its putrid will on aaa game producers the world over. Reboot the entire series and Agent 47
The game also contains elements [when] 47 [is not] on assignments. These parts are more linear and are firearm-focused, cover, etc.
