It's Happening
The sense of satisfaction at being able to write this is almost indescribable:
“Io-Interactive announces its new game, HITMAN â„¢, todayâ€. The newest venture for us, Agent 47 and every single dedicated, wonderful fan of this franchise out there, is about to begin. If you somehow missed it, here's the announcement trailer for you to enjoy.
The new game is simply called “HITMANâ€. We did this because in many ways this is the start of a new journey for Hitman. Don't think of it as a reboot, though - think of it as a pure Hitman experience and the foundation for future HITMAN games. Agent 47 is the aspirational assassin, he's at the absolute peak of his power this time around. This is our central promise: a pure assassin fantasy. So we liked the simplicity and the power of calling this game HITMAN. We want him to be powerful and embody the fantasy completely, and he will remain a constant throughout everything we do with the games going forward.
So what is this new game? Well first off HITMAN is still a creative stealth action game featuring the greatest assassin out there, Agent 47. As an operative of the International Contract Agency, his job is to take out high-profile targets all over the world, supported by his long -time handler Diana Burnwood. Each location in the game is a living sandbox, a place where every NPC has a name and every room matters. We've focused on making sure you, the players, have complete freedom of approach over how, where and when you decide to take out your target. Creativity from players is fully expected, you have the power and intelligence of Agent 47 at your fingertips and it is your choice whether to use brute force or orchestrate a genuine masterpiece of assassination.
Agent 47
Locations are more detailed, more populated and much larger than ever before, full of things to experiment with and targets to kill without any checkpoint systems in there. Contracts mode, which we'll talk more about later in the year, returns and really shines in these big sandboxes. We've brought back save games, so you can save your progress anywhere, and we have revamped pretty much every system in our Glacier engine to enable this HITMAN experience. We promised you these things a while back and we're sticking to them because they are important - and because your feedback is important. In fact, it's so important we're taking things a step further.
A 'LIVE' Experience
One of the reasons why we're calling this a new start for HITMAN is also the idea of ​​releasing a digitally led product. That can mean a lot of different things depending on who you are, but for us it means we're going to make HITMAN available first via direct download.
We're embracing what digital can offer a blockbuster game series like HITMAN - it allows us to do things that are both bold and exciting and entirely new to the Hitman experience.
We are building an expanding and evolving world of assassination. The experience will begin on December 8th and we will release new locations, missions and hits over time at regular intervals through 2016, which means we'll all be able to share in the excitement of a new content drop at the same time. Rather than unboxing a game, playing it and then that's sort of it, we want to deliver a true community experience - creating an ongoing and evolving game which plays out with a finale that brings the story arc together. Our primary goal is to keep HITMAN players fully engaged, so between bigger drops we will be creating one-off live events and live targets to keep you immersed in the experience.
Imagine a target appearing for every player in the world, for a limited time only… let's say 48 hours. Where your one shot counts. And when that target is gone, it is gone forever. A shared experience where we imagine the HITMAN community will come together every time a new mission or new location appears. For $ 60 you'll get full access to all of this content - everything we release as part of this story.
Another big part of this new approach is that we will develop the game with you, the players, and adjust gameplay and create live content and events based on player activity and feedback - so the game will deepen and evolve as time progresses. The experience begins on December 8th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and will reach well into 2016.
Exclusives and beta
If you saw HITMAN revealed at the Sony E3 Press Conference, you heard the word “exclusive†a couple of times. We'd just quickly like to run through what that means. PlayStation 4 will be the only console where you can experience the beta and where you can play it first. A PC beta is planned to arrive a week later. The beta is available for pre-orders now. As for the PlayStation 4 exclusive contracts, they are only available to those people who own a PS4 copy of the game.
One more thing
The journey has just started for us all. We are incredibly excited to share a lot more with you as 2015 unfolds. Tomorrow, on June 16th, we'll be showing the first gameplay trailer from HITMAN at the Square Enix Press Conference. You probably don't want to miss that.
We're very happy to invite you into this world of assassination. It's a place full of challenges, contracts, hits, targets, opportunities, choices and freedom. We can't wait to show you more!
See you in the trenches.

only in him everything was at once, but here gradually
people do not want a stub, they need the whole game at once
[quote name = 'DIAL1' timestamp = '1434625323' post = '4865268'] awesome Absolutio came out [/ quote]
ahahah well lan was joking stop
[member = 'dozensnake'], it seems like everyone is waiting for 3 contracts at the time of release and 80 afterwards.
Where are the proofs about the "stub" and the amount of content at the start, except for forum discussions?
In plain text at E3 they said that it would be a normal game + developers will support it throughout the year with free additional materials.
even did not understand, it will be just a set of missions with a bunch of options for passing?
plot in hitman, are you kidding !? he was never there. it is only needed for show, the usual videos between missions, as in blood money.
Would bring back the jasper kid too. Glad to have removed the magic pockets, returned the case and the W2000. After all, this is still a hitman's trick, and the case gives solidity to the hitman.
The disguise pleased me, apparently they spied on the game Death to Spies, where it was very well implemented. It is very gratifying that some can reveal, but the majority cannot. Death of a Spy Moment of Truth is 50 times better than absolute. passed 3 times, very good game.

It is very gratifying that some can reveal, but the majority cannot. Death of a Spy Moment of Truth is 50 times better than absolute. passed 3 times, very good game.
Whichever one they spied on, 3.5 people in Russia know about the Death of a Spy, and a similar disguise was in the Hitman long before all these Russian crafts.
By the way, I really don't understand that everyone is so buhurt on Absolutio, well, there is no case, there are no missions in different countries, but a holistic plot, and the feeling of a kind of Jaysan Bourne, a spy killer who has retired and now just wants to survive and fulfill the last task is very delivering. In addition, the design, meticulousness in working out the levels and all sorts of little things, as well as small stories at each level, which become noticeable only if you go through carefully, are also very pleasing.
people do not want a stub, they need the whole game at once
Who told you about the fact that it would be a stub, the developers have already said that there will be a full-fledged game in the starting version of the gameplay, and in the future the game will acquire new missions, so that you would feel like a real killer. Killed a target, a week passed, a new contract came, flew to another country, killed another target, etc. This is the whole trick of the game, you can, of course, do everything at once, but I would not say that the distribution model is some kind of significant minus, it's more like with TV shows, here you are given the first season at once and the second in series once a week, Someone will completely arrange this option, and someone will wait until the second season is over to watch everything at once.
Modified June 19, 2015 by DIAL1Cool damn, I'll probably take it in the fall.
Disguise-disguise)) someday we will live up to the era of wigs, otherwise the bald bull, which is partly non-fleshless with its own barcode on the back of the head)
[member = 'DIAL1'], No need to drive Spies to Death, good game and logical development of ideas with disguise, unlike the last Hitman. And on Absolution arrivals not because of the case and the plot, but a change in gameplay. Instead of exploring a large map and planning, shoved into the corridors with checkpoints, the game began to resemble Splinter Cell more. Initially, there was an excellent concept, it worked and was sold, and judging by the video of the new part, the developers returned to it, which pleases.
Modified June 19, 2015 by sappy[quote name = 'sappy' timestamp = '1434711020' post = '4866760'] stuffed into the corridors with checkpoints [/ quote]
Well, I must say that there are not so many corridor missions, mostly these are transitional intermediate levels between large main locations, in which everything remains the same, research, many options for executing murders, etc. ... but checkpoints, yes, for me personally, they just killed the game, so I was very glad to hear that in the new part they will not be
Whichever one they spied on, 3.5 people in Russia know about the Death of a Spy, and a similar disguise was in the Hitman long before all these Russian crafts.
Only this Russian "fake" takes into account how you killed your victim, if with blood, then you cannot change. Takes into account the weight, the amount carried, the hitman carries 50-100 pistols and is normal. limited ammunition, etc. if you change into a general, you will be burned, because everyone knows the general by sight, etc.
the game is very elaborate, the hitman should learn a lot from this. It is worth paying more attention to the little things, because the whole picture is built from this.
By the way, I really don't understand that everyone is so bugging on Absolutio, well, there is no case there
1. The cartridges are selected automatically, he personally delivers to me in the first hitman to take packs of cartridges.
2. There is no case. Case to hitman always gave solidity.
3. The weapon appears out of nowhere and the hitman can carry a minigun in his pockets, no one will see it.
4. Lack of a variety of locations, missions. Where is the Traditions of Trade mission or similar in the hotel? where do you come as a regular visitor and have to kill the victim?
5. No Jesper Kyd, the soundtrack is absolutely indistinct.
6. There are no lightning-fast missions, for example, the very first mission in the first hitman, where you need to climb onto the roof and soak the head from the red triad and quickly escape. I really liked such missions, it is a pity that there were no such missions in the blood.
7. Intestine, control points, basements. This is not a splinter sell, this is not tyef, this is not a snake, this is a Hitman who merges with the crowd. Social stealth, not police running around.
so you can go on for a long time.
there are no missions in different countries
Awful and fat minus. How I like the variety of missions in Hitman 2. Here's Peter, here's the Middle East, here's Japan, Malaysia, etc. and full of interesting missions - asphyxiation of the sysadmin who has chips on the floor. Or in the Middle East, get a .50 sniper rifle and put a bullet on a target in your car and go.

Who told you about the fact that it would be a stub, the developers have already said that there will be a full-fledged game in the starting version of the gameplay, and in the future the game will acquire new missions
40 bucks, as it were hinted. And few people believe in miracles in the modern gaming industry. In fact, the Hitman has always been a set of locations, with a plot for show, maybe it's right that they will be released gradually. And for those who want a full-fledged game, buy it at the end of next year. In general, just when she should come out. At the end of this year, there will be early access, so to speak, for those who are impatient.
[member = 'DanteNero'], Stop hating from scratch. finally a suitable Hitman is outlined.
[quote name = 'DanteNero' timestamp = '1434742903' post = '4867387'] The Hitman has actually always been a collection of locations [/ quote]
[quote name = "Cap" post = "4867409" timestamp = "1434743807"] [b] [member = 'DanteNero'] [/ b], Stop hating from scratch. finally a suitable Hitman is outlined. [img = http: //i.imgur.com/wCyX3zW.jpg? 1] [/ quote] And I thought why this news appeared that the game will not have a season ticket, and all content released in 2016 will be free. And this is how it is, that is, now without a choice to buy new locations or not. An interesting move. Okay, it doesn't matter, I'll wait for the full version on disk anyway. I’ll wait for Larka on the curling iron, and I’ll wait for Hitman. And about a good Hitman, I agree, according to what was shown / told I already like it.
Well, I also love disks, but in this case it's not cold, it's not hot from it.
I have all the interest in the game just because it came out of nowhere and we can already say that it is coming out. plus our price is so delicious.
They promise to support the game for a year, including live events, just one try and a must. there will be no more of it.
A year later, what if you take a disk? more expensive than at the start a year ago. when everyone has already passed.
Not. dudes are trying to try something new, and so be it, I will support them.
Do you think it will not rise in price in the rustor? Well, for some reason, in the pre-order section, I found it through a search. I think the hint is clear)))
PS No, I'm lying. There are no general pre-orders, it is in the game tab with E3. But those who, in any way, will buy in numbers, I would not hesitate. Modified June 19, 2015 by DanteNero
