I could give two fucks about who is doing the mocap as long as it looks good, and Keith Carradine definitely isn't required for good looking mocap.

Seriously.
Pretty much. I also don't see why they would turn away from the formula. The teaser had 47 putting a silencer on a pistol, I took that as then telling us the series is back in original form. But we will see.WrikaWrek said:I don't understand how you take what was written about it and come to the conclusion that it suddenly is gonna turn into a Gears of War clone.

Basically we all want the sequel to Blood Money that takes the concept and hones it to a mirror shine, and we want it so badly that we're terrified that they're going to go the opposite direction.overcast said:Pretty much.

Edit: Yes splinter cell is not helping at all.
I want that too. Even more refined, nice graphics, and plenty of missions. The idea of that makes me way too excited. But I don't really blame people for being worried. It makes sense.The_Technomancer said:Basically we all want the sequel to Blood Money that takes the concept and hones it to a mirror shine, and we want it so badly that we're terrified that they're going to go the opposite direction.

Like I said, I don't see how they have stated they will go in another direction gameplay wise.
Eh, that shouldn't be too much of a concern? They will just spice up the specific environments. They have plenty of spots to pick from.MMaRsu said:For one that this supposedly only has missions based in the US is bad enough already.
Which hotel? The one in france or "traditions of trade"?overcast said:Eh, that shouldn't be too much of a concern? They will just spice up the specific environments. They have plenty of spots to pick from.
What are your guys favorite Hitman missions? I love the Hotel level from Contracts and the Christmas party from Blood Money.
The one with the bath full of blood in the basement? Memory is a bit hazy, but I remember enjoying the hell out of it with my step brother.Ahoi-Brause said:Which hotel? The one in france or "traditions of trade"?
Because the hungary mission was better in the first hitman game.
Contracts kinda sucked.

Contracts kinda sucked, if you haven't done so check out the original hitman.

Secks4Food said:You...actually prefer the original Hitman to Contracts? Unfathomable, going back to the original is so hard, it wasn't even good when it first came out, compared to Hitman 2 and beyond it's just terrible imo.
Anyway...my favorite levels in the series are The Beldingford Manor and Traditions of the Trade (both from Contracts, go figure). Both are so open ended, so many options, just amazing atmosphere. Blood Money has some great levels and additions too, though I'm not sure why it's always the Hitman that everyone puts on pedestal. There are so many things that need fixing/tweaking in Blood Money and the levels were overall pretty boring compared to Contracts. Oooo a Suburb, how inspired! How about a fucked up sex party at a Slaughterhouse where everybody is either high out of their mind on opium or going at it in latex on top of a dead, bloody animal? Not to mention the disgusting waste of life eating whole chickens while having 3 ways with his own personal squad of gun toting harlots, and his psychotic brother who has set up an almost Silent Hill like shrine for dead, mutilated women hanging from the ceiling in the other room? The only thing that really comes close in BM is the heaven and hell rave, which was really cool, but still...just wanted to give Contracts some well deserved kudos.
Ahoi-Brause said:The worst part is that IO had layoffs recently and yet they piss away their money with hollywood shit that will get them no extra sales from the fans.
Radogol said:How does that make sense? What extra sales? Will you buy eight copies if you really like the game, five if it's only so-so and two if it's bad? To get extra sales, they need to lure in new audience.
I'm not defending the direction they seem to be taking the franchise into, just pointing out the fallacy in your statement.[/QUOTE
Lets all blame Infinity Ward, whats left of em, and have done with it.
Yeah, that's traditions of trade! Be sure to play the original version in the first hitman game.overcast said:The one with the bath full of blood in the basement? Memory is a bit hazy, but I remember enjoying the hell out of it with my step brother.

Yeah, the atmosphere is much nicer and cleaner. Contracts was too goofy and grimdark for me.Secks4Food said:You...actually prefer the original Hitman to Contracts?
Ahoi-Brause said:Well if they dumb it down they pretty much lost my buy.

It's a bit more non-linear with more options and paths.

Best mission in the game, I think, and one of the best in the franchise. They were definitely still finding their voice in Hitman 1, which included shoot-em up levels set in the jungle (imagine if they tried to do that now), boss helicopters and stupid shit like that, but Traditions of the Trade was everything I ever wanted out of a game about a hitman and I'm glad that style of gameplay was dominant in Blood Money.
The funniest part is that traditions of trade apparently was rushed.Radogol said:Best mission in the game, I think, and one of the best in the franchise.

Soda said:47 is not aware that Diana was trying to save his life, but now Diana has a new position working with the British Government (assumption from her last cut scene referring to someone has his 'majesty') and 47 is out seeking revenge. During Absolution (probably midpoint) 47 will realize he is part of a much larger operation that exceeds both him and Diana.
Guerrillas in the Mist said:She was probably chatting with a client of the new "Agency". Plenty of royal families in the world, especially in places like the Middle East, where absolute monarchies still exist. I don't see the Queen or Prince Charles hiring a Hitman, although Mohamed Al Fayed thinks otherwise lol.
MMaRsu said:screens
Screens of a teaser or trailer perhaps? The way 47 is jumping out a window reminds me of the last movie -_-.
Looks gritty and dark and lame.

D4Danger said:it looks like concept art
Soda said:Yeah it probably is. Seriously wtf is that shit though, 47 jumping off a roof like Batman with his shirt UNTUCKED! gtfo.
edit: and those better not be sketchers he's wearing.
Jay-B said:The tie and shirt he wore in BM were much better. No buy.
JambiBum said:I honestly don't understand how you can say those things from three screens from a trailer/whatever when one of them is just a shot of 47 in his suit which is what everyone wanted to see. I understand not being overly optimistic until we see something real but you are incredibly negative on almost every bit of info that has come out so far. For no reason. Hell the official teaser they released was set in the mood and tone of the old games.
MMaRsu said:The teaser is great, and so is that first pic I posted .
