I think the game is looking pretty good from what I've seen of it.
It's just the sexist lowest common denominator shite design appealing to boys' hormones that's pissing me off.

Showing how a scenario could turn out? Not the first trailer doing this, DEHR has done that too, in a way.

catering to my fetish, I am pleased
Seek and you shall find my friend.
It's pretty shameless and blatantly sexist. Many teenagers and man-children will still eat it up, though.

that trailer was....
...totally fucking awesome!
i loved it. the nuns things was definitely unorthodox, and it reminded me of previous hitman games that had unorthodox characters/enemies.

I don't see it as sexist at all. Would everyone feel better if they were all Pastors? Maybe I'm a cynic, maybe I'm apathetic, but I see nothing sexist here. Stupid, not sexist.

They failed if that was the point. All I saw was a random CG action trailer with no context that started, progressed, and ended. How does this even play into the game? I could've watched a random Newgrounds stick figure fight flash video and came away with the same conclusion.
I'm not even talking about the quality of the trailer, I just don't get why this exists.

can someone confirm for me whether a body would act as a shield for a machine-gun's bullets? seems to happen a lot in games/films & i've always wondered whether it was in any way accurate...

Would the pastors be wearing high heels and fetish gear?
they are waiting to shoot the body, how in the earth do you think is that plausible?

Even better they could be in skin tight spandex shorts, lipstick and have little kids strapped to their crotch? I'm down...

I hope that's the next trailer.
I love the internet <3
It was definitely sexist man.
A bunch of assassin nuns dressed like they're doing porn carrying all sorts of heavy weaponry through a public area.
It's also very Hitman-esque! :\

Just discussed this on Twitter with some peeps. But Coco Ghost Recon video. That is all.

I just hope we can ruthlessly and stealthily stalk and take out each one in brutal fashion in each level, maybe throw one of them into a dismounted, but functioning Jet engine. Or elaborately set it up so she gets inadvertently sucked into one. Look IO botched this thing badly...I'm just holding on to glimmers of hope.
I totally have a 'thing' for sexy nuns but I didn't like how they were introduced and then killed off in the trailer. The fuck is that about? it should have been about this bad ass sexy gang not Agent 47. Showing them get killed makes them seem tame, should of left that for the full game release.

Being chased by Anton would have been a better idea.
RockPaperShotgun verdict:
"A very CGI trailer for the new Hitman is, well, odd. Its Agent 47 murdering a collection of scantily clad women, who were moments earlier dressed as nuns. Its a trailer that is to feminism what cricket balls are to genitals. You can watch the Tarrantino wet dream below.
As a trailer it fails on a few levels. Firstly, on the level of actually trailing anything. Secondly, its clearly not a meaningful representation of the game. Thirdly, its tacky like a tar-covered glue stick."

Whatever, they were wearing leather bondage gear under their habits for no reason. Side note: one of the nuns has a silenced smg for some reason even though the first thing they do is blow up the motel with a rocket launcher, fucking stupid.

this is no more sexist than shirtless musclebound rambo going on a shooting rampage. just because they are women people are bringing up sexism? c'mon.
You can probably make an argument for Rambo being shirtless somewhere in the jungle as a benefit.
What point is there to these girls dressing like Halloween-nuns and carrying rocket launchers? It's not very assassin-ey. It's pretty clear and shamelessly obvious they're catering to the bro market with this game.
Maybe if Rambo wore sexy bondage gear and his sole purpose was material to get adolescent girls excited about a new movie...that he has nothing to do with.

Someone with great Youtube skills make a parody video, just as Agent 47 starts his murder spree, someone should cut in that chorus song from Hustle and Flow. Whoop that trick, Whoop that trick, whoop that trick, whoop that trick, whoop that trick..get em...

I don't get it either.
Didn't Blood Money sell very well anyway? Why force yourself into an already saturated market and go away from the thing that made your franchise unique and interesting?
I understand I'm coming across as whiny
but man I loved Blood Money...bigboss370

what bondage gear? they're not carrying whips and handcuffs and shit. its just their outfits that are latex/skimpy. and the argument could be made that the point is that its unorthodox and unique. there's a certain discomfort in the disconnect/oxymoronic attire. i really don't think its meant to be arousing at all.

Give me a group of female assassins in less ridiculous garb and I may enjoy the trailer. Perhaps it's just satire.
"Oh noes!! They're barely wearing any clothes...They are not appropriately dressed!!"
Get over it, stop being so oversensitive or go make some cardboard signs and protest on the street, jeez...
It's just a goddamn video game trailer, who cares. It's an extremely bad one, but wow...
All the little hype I had from a couple of months ago, is gone for me aswell. What the hell was that.

Watching you contort yourself in such a way as to somehow justify high-heeled, fishnetted nuns throwing away their habits to reveal incredible amounts of weaponry and coincidentally skin-tight shiny latex dresses and then to do a sexy group pose is highly amusing.
